Dmitriy Kel Nov. 5, 2021, 6 a.m.

Former UFC interim lightweight champion Justin Gaethje shared his memories of fighting Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2020.

"Do I remember what Khabib said to me in the octagon? I kept trying to knock him out. If he was saying anything, I wasn't listening to him. Nobody has control over things like that in the octagon. I was busy trying to knock this guy out," Gaethje said.

Nurmagomedov defeated Gaethje by submission in the second round. After the bout, the Russian announced that he had finished his career.
