Khabib Nurmagomedov believes his Dagestani wrestling’s endurance will triumph over Justin Gaethje’s American wrestling background.
Khabib Nurmagomedov believes Dagestani and American wrestling styles are miles apart. “The Eagle” points to the former’s relentlessness and endurance as far supreme.
The UFC Lightweight champion Nurmagomedov believes his Dagestani wrestling prowess will be far too great for Justin Gaethje’s when they battle it out at UFC 254 on Saturday. This is despite Gaethje being a former NCAA Division I All-American wrestling champion. (H/T MMAJunkie.com)
“I think it’s a big difference,” Nurmagomedov said at a pre-fight media scrum Wednesday. “I know he knows how to wrestle. Worry about wrestling 25 minutes. I told (Daniel Cormier) today, ‘When you fight with Stipe Miocic last time, you grabbed his leg one time, and you take him down. He got up very quickly, and you’re finished.’ All other minutes (went) standup. Between me and DC is a big difference.”
Nurmagomedov acknowledges that Gaethje’s wrestling background is far better than his last two foes in the Octagon, Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor. Nevertheless, the undefeated champion believes the fight will go the same way as always. He will drag Gaethje to the floor over and over. Just like how he has done to his previous 28 opponents.
“If I’m going to try to take him down once and he defends, I’m going to go all night. I’m going to go all night,” Nurmagomedov said. “This is the big difference between U.S. wrestling and Dagestan wrestling. … They all good when they stand up, but when I grab them, it changes a little bit. I think more than Dustin and Conor and other guys, he knows to wrestle. It’s going to be a little bit hard. I prepared myself to try to take him down 100 times. It’s going to be interesting Saturday night.”
The Russian looks to make his third successful defence of his UFC lightweight throne against Gaethje on Fight Island. This will be his first fight since the tragic loss of his father via coronavirus complications back in July.
Gaethje has been a man on a mission. He’s catapulted himself to the top of the 155-pound shark pit of a division. One thing is for certain with a Justin Gaethje fight, sparks will fly and blood will be spilt. Gaethje has won four back to back TKO victories over James Vick, Edson Barboza and Donald Cerrone. Gaethje then stepped in for Khabib and ran through Tony Ferguson with a fifth-round TKO at UFC 249 in May. This battering earnt him the interim title and a ticket to the champion, as well as ending Ferguson’s 12-fight win streak in devastating fashion.
On Saturday, the interim champ takes on the undefeated and undisputed champion at UFC 254.
Will Khabib Nurmagomedov continue his reign as one of the most dominant champions the sport has ever seen? Or, will Justin Gaethje cause an upset to steal the show?

Georges St-Pierre is still a target for UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Nurmagomedov battles Justin Gaethje in a lightweight title unification fight at UFC 254 on Saturday. Should he come out on top, “The Eagle” has made it no secret who he wants to face next.
Back in July, he called for a fight with St-Pierre to take place in April 2021. And with just a few days to go for UFC 254, the former welterweight king remains a dream fight for Nurmagomedov.
“I really become excited when I think about Georges St-Pierre,” Nurmagomedov said on ESPN’s First Take (via Bleacher Report). “I don’t know if he wants to fight with me or not, can he make weight—155 or not—but this fight makes me excited, honestly.
“And I think me vs. Georges is going to be very, very big fight. Like big fight for fans, big fight for pay-per-view, big fight for analytics, for everybody. This is only fight in UFC, after Gaethje, that makes me very excited.”
There’s no doubt that a St-Pierre vs. Nurmagomedov fight would be one of the biggest fights in mixed martial arts history, if not the biggest.
However, many obstacles remain. St-Pierre is retired and notably turns 40 next year. And even if both him and the UFC signed off on a fight, he has made it clear that he does not want to compromise himself and fight at 155 pounds — something he has never done before.
And of course, the UFC remains the biggest obstacle as St-Pierre has repeatedly speculated that the reason the promotion are against the fight is to protect their investment in Nurmagomedov.
Then again, if Nurmagomedov wants his last fight in MMA to be against St-Pierre, UFC president Dana White previously claimed he would be willing to make it happen.
For now, Nurmagomedov must focus on getting past Gaethje.
Do you think we’ll see this fight? Or should everyone move on?
