Khabib to Justin: "Bratha you have jet lag"

Former UFC Lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and former UFC Lightweight Interim champion Justin Gaethje reflect back on their fight at UFC 254.

What Khabib by "mental"is that you have to be smart in your decision I suppose. You have to expect jet lag after travelling so far away from your own country. Khabib is a smart fighter not just physically but mentally.

Two weeks isn't an excuse for jet lag. Jet lag rarely lasts over a full week, let alone 14 days. Cain just outright didn't adjust for the acclimation.

Let's also not be discounting Beneil Dariush cos he lost to Charles. That guy has a solid ground game and he hits like a truck. I'm a massive Khabib fan and I'm proud of the legacy the dagestanis are building in the UFC, but I'd like to see Islam tested against Dariush.

And you think Dariush or Justin can beat Islam ! You got to stand corrected just like M.Chandler did when he declared that Charles will defeat Islam! And I guess you know the rest.

He said the same thing after fighting Poirier, but I guess Gaethje’s team didn’t think that it would be that big of a deal..
