Khabib Nurmagomedov, a former UFC lightweight champion, said he said Justin Gaethje during their duel.
“I remember he hit me with a right uppercut and then a left hook (it was his best shot of the fight) and I said to him: “Brother, this is all you have.” I talked to him, it was a conversation inside a cage. I like Justin Gaethje and I talked to him during the fight. After his great combo, I said, “Brother, is that all you have? At the end of the first round, he began to get tired. I told him: "This is a change of time zones - you flew to Abu Dhabi a week before the fight, and I a month." I know this is true because it is a desert and you must arrive there at least two weeks before the fight. I myself could not sleep for a whole week after arrival, ”said Khabib.
Recall that the confrontation between Khabib and Gaethje took place in October 2020, ending with Nurmagomedov's victory by choke hold. This fight was the last for Khabib in his professional fighting career.
