Johnson: If Khabib had continued to perform, he would have lost

Dmitriy Kel Aug. 17, 2022, 4:44 p.m.

Former Dominant UFC Flyweight Champion Demetrius Johnson sure that the ex-title holder in the lightweight division Khabib Nurmagomedov could not have remained undefeated if he had not retired at 32.

“The longer you are in this sport, the higher your chances of being knocked out. Khabib left undefeated. How many does he have, 29-0? If he had continued to perform, he would have lost.

It's the same with Jon Jones - in the end, he will face the one who defeats him. The circle must close. If Floyd Mayweather continued to fight with elite boxers, especially at his age, he could win for a while, but then he would also most likely be defeated, ”Johnson said on The MMA Hour.
