Javier Mendes, the head coach of AKA gym and also the former coach of Khabib Nurmagomedov, shared his opinion about his striking technique. Mendes made a surprising statement, saying that Khabib could be the best puncher in the UFC lightweight division.

"He could very well be the best puncher in the lightweight division, destroying people just in the standup. At the end of his career, when Khabib was getting ready for Gatji, he was already beating all the guys in the gym, he was already at the level of a professional boxer and kickboxer. At the very end of his career," - said the specialist.

Recall, Khabib finished his fighting career in October 2020, having a record of 29-0.
