In this very old Russian interview at around 3:50 minute mark Khabib discusses the Tibau fight.
The interviewer asks him “you were really happy after your first win, but you seemed much more serious and even cried after the decision versus Tibau”
Khabib says “Yeah, I already knew I was going to get my hand raised in the first fight, but in the second fight I thought they might give the win to Tibau since he was the veteran with 16 fights there, I was about 80% sure they’d give it to him so when they raised my hand it was a burst of emotions. But then I rewatched my fight and I saw I mostly dominated and deserved the win”
A few other interesting quotes from the interview
- “I’d really like to fight Diaz, he’s well known and he’s got a champion level recognition, he might be more popular than Benson”
- “I saw all the ring girls, they’re all not bad, but I can’t take what’s not mine”
