Justin Gaethje isn’t planning to outpoint Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 254, nor does he plan to go out like ‘no punk’.
The former WSOF lightweight champion says the only way to beat Khabib is to finish him via knockout, and that’s exactly what he intends to do on Saturday night.
“You don’t see it. The best thing is you have your hands on him so you can feel it,” Gaethje told Jimmy Smith in a recent interview (h/t Abhinav Kini of The Body Lock MMA). “You can feel him quit. I don’t believe that will happen here — the way I’m going to beat him is by putting him to sleep.
