Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
Star training video UFC Khabib Nurmagomedov fight and beat wrestlers who are bigger viral on social media.
This video circulates ahead of Khabib’s fight with Justin Gaethje in the main party of UFC 254, 24 October.
Reporting from Middle Easy, the video recording is circulating on Youtube with a duration of 9.03 minutes.
Khabib, who was wearing white shorts and a black shirt, faced off against a wrestler whose size was bigger and taller than him.
Khabib kept on doing one-leg takedowns. He also repeatedly cornered his opponent against the wall or locked him with his hands or feet when he fell.
Some people call this video old or not the newest footage ahead of UFC 254. But what is clear, this footage shows Khabib is very strong and can easily beat a man whose size is bigger than him.
Khabib and Gaethje will fight at UFC 254, on 24 October. In the upcoming battle, it is believed that Gaethje will give Khabib difficulties that have never been faced.
Gaethje himself claims to have found a way to destroy Khabib. He will use the ‘death zone’ strategy, namely by carrying out brutal and sporadic attacks.
This was done so that Khabib would not have a chance to fight under. Khabib is known to be very strong when it comes to downfights and lock-up in the octagon.
Meanwhile, Khabib considered that Gae thought that Gaethje was no better than Conor McGregor in terms of standing fight.
The Russian fighter saw McGregor far better than Gaethje in terms of fighting in a standing position.
Gaethje came to challenge Khabib with status as the UFC lightweight interim champion. Gaethje confirmed the status after TKO win over Tony Ferguson.
Interestingly, Gaethje himself came to the match as a substitute fighter for Khabib who could not compete in UFC 249. Initially, Khabib would have a duel against Ferguson for the lightweight title fight.
