The video of Khabib punching the fan quickly went viral, with many fans sharing their reactions to the incident. Here’s what the fans had to say:
Who is the hardest hitter in UFC, according to Nurmagomedov?
‘The Eagle’ has an undefeated record of 29-0 under his name. In his run in the UFC, the Russian mixed martial artist has gone through some of the elites of the lightweight division.
Nurmagomedov has defeated the likes of Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier, Edson Barboza, Justin Gaethje, and more. However, none of them came close to defeating the former champion.
But Nurmagomedov sure felt the wrath of a former interim lightweight champion. It was none other than Justin Gaethje. He is one of the finest and most vicious strikers in the promotion.
Even Nurmagomedov admitted that Gaethje hit him like a truck. In fact, Gaethje is one of the fighters alongside McGregor who has defeated Nurmagomedov in a round.
