Khabib's coach names the toughest opponent for his fighter

The head coach of the AKA gym and mentor of the UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov Javier Mendez named the toughest opponent for the Eagle.

“If you define stylistically the toughest rival for Khabib from the four Conor, Poirier, Ferguson, Gaethje, I’ll name Conor,” the specialist said.

Khabib and Conor have already met in the octagon, and then Nurmagomedov forced the Irishman to surrender in the fourth round.
