There is no stopping for Khabib Nurmagomedov to wade back into the lightweight brawl after getting retired.
As noted, This past Saturday Gaethje faced former Bellator Lightweight Champion Michael Chandler at UFC 268. After a back-and-forth fight, Gaethje won the bout via unanimous decision. This bout earned the Fight of the Night award.
Gaethje quickly made a call for a title shot in the aftermath of UFC 268 and there is the idea of Gaethje being the most deserving challenger for the winner of UFC 269’s upcoming lightweight title bout between Charles Oliveira and Dustin Poirier.
This will lead The former UFC lightweight champion Khabib to take aim at Justin Gaethje.
“In last 8 fight, you got finished 3 times Justin. You had an opportunity to become champion, but you fell asleep,” Nurmagomedov wrote, adding a sleeping face emoji.
“Islam [Makhachev] is on the 9 win streak, 3 fight in 2021 and all finishes. Just shut up and admit that Islam deserves this title shot, not you.”
To make it the latest, Khabib has now commented on Ferguson for not being able to win a single round in the UFC.
"For the last three years Tony Ferguson you never won a single round in the
@ufc
some of the rounds you lost 10:8. Since 2015 you won only one fighter from top 15.
Tony, it’s a clear picture here, I’m not gonna go low and personal, not gonna insult you. It’s just a facts." Khabib wrote.
Justin Gaethje took to Twitter to fire back at Khabib.
"Your boy has 2 and you want him to fight for the belt. My 3 losses are former champ, interim champ, and current champ. Islam beat #14 and a late replacement #6. Stay humble champ Folded hands Get in line. Don’t forget
