Khabib Nurmagomedov, a former UFC lightweight champion, revealed which fights in the organization made him wake up early in the morning to watch them.
“I almost don’t wake up in the morning, I don’t watch fights. Usman woke up on Kamaru, for me this fight was very interesting. I just really wanted him to break Anderson Silva's record, I had a strong desire. I really wanted to, but it turned out how it happened. If you look at the last time when I woke up... In my opinion, this year it happened once or twice. Ngannou - Gan, I woke up for this fight. And there was another fight. Peter Yan. Petr Yan - Sterling. I couldn't help but wake up to this fight, it was very interesting to me. And you know, no matter what fight I definitely missed, I would wake up? Gamrot - Tsarukyan. I would definitely wake up for this fight. I was just there [in America], I happened to watch it live. Also Adesanya - Pereira I will wake up, I think so, this is very interesting.
Recall that Khabib ended his career as an undefeated fighter. His record is 29-0.
