Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje: Where they stand
Khabib Nurmagomedov (28-0) puts his unbeatable streak on the line against the meanwhile champion Justin Gaethje. He last competed in September 2019, marking another dominant end to the main competition. The "Eagle", known for its relentless gameplay, incorporates a high level of striking in its recent battles.
It can be said that "Highlight" comes from the most impressive victory in his career. Gaethje replaced Habib in UFC 249 and pulled Tony Ferguson out of number one contender.
Gaethje broke the streak of Tony who won 12 wins in a shocking clinic. Critics called him as a candidate for "Fight of the Year", and it's not hard to see why. Justin Jaitje, who was a brawler, had a fundamental change in his overall approach.
The First Division fighter began to show restraint. In light of his newly developed skill set, Gaethje has moved from an exciting fighter into a superior competitor.
