Khabib's speech after the fight, translation from Russian: "And now for my fans, and it would not be quite right to say "to my fans from Russia", so let's say "to all Russian-speakers", thank you so much, when I started all of this in 2008, and when I signed for UFC and had the first fight in 2012, many didn't believe in me, many thought it would be impossible. I'm a simple guy from a regular village in the mountains of Dagestan, who came over here. Just yesterday my brother told me: "According to Google you are the most discussed person on the planet". I simply couldn't believe it, because if you can imagine, I never had any of this on my mind, it was just my father and I dreaming of becoming the champion one day. I could have never imagined so much could happen to me. If you have parents, be close to them, and that's it. I have only one parent left, my mother. I would like to dedicate more time to her".

You have to admire how elusive Khabib is to hit, when you even clock him and he still marches forward. What an incredible fighter. Glad to see one of the Goats of the sport.

[@devvv4616]

he ate some full force punches from justin and went forward like its nothing

[@erikbritz8095]

i honestly believe the only way you would touch his chin cleanly is by clinchsparwling and throwing uppercuts and then angling off and circling again, and the only issue would be that this is such a tiring plan and cause your feet isn't planted you can't land as heavy with your shots plus who is to say he won't take you down at some point regardless.
