“The deceitful media created a buzz around Gaethje by portraying him as a star fighter and claiming that he had all the necessary skills to beat Khabib,” Covington told Submission Radio.
“What were they talking about? I saw this guy fight in college, so I knew for a fact that he sucked. Just because he fought doesn’t mean he’s good enough at it. Therefore, I never doubted the outcome of the fight for a second “

According to the American, he knows exactly why the reigning UFC lightweight champion, who announced his retirement last weekend, never made an attempt to try his hand at a heavier weight class.

“Of course, Khabib had to beat him. He does so much that these small dwarfs have no chance against him. Fight in your real weight class! Do you need this advantage to beat smaller opponents? Get up and fight in the weight class of real men! “

“I am the main reason why Khabib doesn’t want to fight at welterweight. This is why he has to lose so much of his weight. Everyone knows that his usual weight is around 190 pounds. He’s bigger than me. But I am a real man and I fight in my weight category with opponents of any size. Khabib needs this advantage to beat the midgets, but he will never dare to fight a guy like me. He knows that in a duel with me he has no chance to keep his undefeated record “

On October 24, at UFC 254 in Abu Dhabi, Khabib Nurmagomedov chalked up his 29th career win, finishing Justin Gaethje with a triangle choke in the second round before announcing his retirement from his pro fighter.[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5UmK-ygJpc” title=”Colby Covington challenges Khabib Nurmagomedov”][vc_column_text]
