“Gaethje hit him with a couple of shots and then he thought Gaethje looked kind of weird and he pointed at him and said ‘you have jetlag’ in the middle of the fight,” White continued. “Gaethje said ‘No, I don’t’ and hit him with an uppercut and a left hook. Khabib said something to him again and he leg kicked him. Then I guess when Khabib took him down and was on top of him he said, ‘Now what are you going to do?’”

He also said Gaethje is the hardest hitter (both punches and kicks) that he ever faced.
 
His trash talk is as effective as his relentless pace. LW GOAT!
 
Justin Gaethje was Khabib's toughest title defense. It ended quickly but he landed good shots.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gaychee hit harder than Colin
Na, he only said that about his punches and kicks cause Gaychee is Ali's property.

Even if Gaychee was the hardest puncher he was on the backfoot for the whole fight so wouldn't have been even able to land a hard shot.

Even backpeddling shot from Gaychee hits harder than Colin confirmed, imagine a flush shot head clean off.

Khabib is the GOAT trash talker. "I'm gonna smash your boy, don't send me fake contract"

He probably does hit harder but there’s a big difference in how they throw. Justin puts almost everything into every shot while Conor is more accurate. Justin can put you out if he lands one clean hard punch but will miss a lot too and be open to get countered. Conor’s accuracy is what puts guys away for him. That first combo he landed on Alvarez that dropped him in the first was pinpoint accurate and quick as hell.

For sure. I highly doubt Israel punches harder than Romero but he was able to KO guys that Romero couldn't thanks to his crazy accuracy.

It's the shot you don't see coming that hurts the most.
 
To me the best of it all is when he asked M.Johson "you agree?" in the middle of a GnP. Unintended hilarity.
That, he trash talked Dana (the boss) while he's pummeling a top 10 opponent. Then he tells MSG where half the fans were from Ireland that Conor was the easiest fight in the LW division. Then he starts speaking Russian? (not sure what language), nobody knew what he was saying, everybody was booing and the guy didn't give a fook. It was beautiful, I was lucky enough to be there to experience it.
 
I feel like there should be a Khabib forum for the Khabib fans to tell Khabib stories to one another.
 
Khabib is a GOAT-tier fighter and a hell of a trash talker as well. And to think, when the brash, outspoken Conor was finally face to face with him locked in a cage the only verbiage he could manage was to meekly tell him "it's only business"

<36>
 
Don't think it makes any difference to the outcome whether Khabib opens his mouth or not, he's gonna have his way.
