Khabib vs Gaethje Like Eagles Against Rabbits

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia

Fight Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Justin gaethje of UFC 254 likened to a fight between an eagle and a rabbit.

Russia’s UFC 6 champion, Oleg Taktarov, regards Khabib as an eagle and Gaethje as an evasive rabbit.

“There was dominance from the first second, and in that battle the opponent felt a sense of power. Gaethje was like a rabbit afraid of being chased by an eagle,” said Taktarov.


“And the rabbit ran, there was space and he kept running. When the eagle caught him in the first round, he already knew that the next opportunity he could be brought down again,” he continued.

“Gaethje is a nice man, but yesterday he came across as a typical American with a distinctly American soul shattered before the fight.”

“He came there to earn money, he has admitted, after that he did not interest me. You cannot go into a risky fight on the basis of money alone, you are seen by many people there,” said Taktarov. Championat.
