By now, the entire world had seen how UFC 254’s headliner between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje went down. The challenger had his moments early on, but the champion performed as he always did to come out victorious in a decisive fashion.
What many of us obviously didn’t see were the mid-fight happenings that went on. UFC president Dana White already revealed some of them, but in a recent interview with ACA light heavyweight fighter Magomed Ismailov, Khabib spilled a little more.
“He gave up. I mean, his will was broken. He gave up mentally,” Khabib said of Gaethje.
