‘Anybody can go to sleep’, Justin Gaethje says he plans to beat Khabib Nurmagomedov ‘into submission’ at UFC 254

UFC 254 is just around the corner. On October 24th, at Abu Dhabi’s Flash Forum, the UFC’s lightweight title will be on the line when reigning champion Khabib Nurmagomedov takes on interim champ Justin Gaethje.

Nurmagomedov, Gaethje, and title fight alternate Michael Chandler, recently spoke to the media about the upcoming event and how they saw the big fight going.

Gaethje told those gathered that his confidence was at an all time high and that this spelled trouble for ‘The Eagle’.

“My confidence is probably my biggest factor right now paired with the power that I possess paired with the coach that I have,” Gaethje said (per MMA Fighting).
