Thus far in his MMA career, Khabib Nurmagomedov has been a problem without a solution. The Dagestani Sambo champion turned mixed martial artist currently sits at 28-0 heading into his 3rd title defense, this coming October 24th in Abu Dhabi.
The man across the cage from him will be team Elevation’s Justin Gaethje. The former WSOF title holder has had a rougher run of things in the UFC – having dropped back-to-back KO losses to Eddie Alvarez and Dustin Poirier – but has righted the ship since then, to the tune of four straight victories—and an interim lightweight title in the process.
