ACA names fighters who can face Khabib

Andrew Karlov June 2, 2021, 3:52 a.m.

Aslanbek Badayev, vice-president of the ACA league, named fighters who could fight Khabib Nurmagomedov.

“I'm not saying that here Khabib would have lost, but I think that here it would have been harder for him from these considerations. The same Ali Bagov, the same Khusein Khaliev, the same Artem Reznikov - these are guys who wrestle very well. And at least they wouldn't let him do it as easily as Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje. In Russia, the MMA school, especially the Caucasian one, is more focused on wrestling, on control, so it is not as easy to wrestle here as in the UFC," Badaev said.

Khabib ended his career in October last year after defeating Justin Gaethje.
