UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has a lot of respect for Justin Gaethje, but that won’t stop him from attempting to smash the human highlight-reel when they meet in October.
On Monday, Gaethje was in Los Angeles spending some time with UFC color commentator Joe Rogan while getting in a workout with his head coach Trevor Wittman. Rogan posted a short video on his Instagram calling Gaethje a “savage” after witnessing his training session with Wittman.
In response, Nurmagomedov dropped into the comments to offer Gaethje a not so subtle reminder of the war ahead of him in the lightweight title unification bout at UFC 254.
