Khabib stops training due to tooth problems

Andrew Karlov | Published Sept. 12, 2020, 9:18 p.m.

Reigning UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has already arrived in Abu Dhabi for the final stages of preparation for the fight against Justin Gaethje. However, he has not been exercising for the past few days due to health problems.

“My tooth ached and my cheek was swollen. I think tomorrow I will also manage without training. If they saw me at the tournament dedicated to my father on September 9, they noticed that I was wearing a mask, this is also connected with the tooth. I think the day after tomorrow I will start training again..." Khabib said.
