Khabib Nurmagomedov sends sinister message to Justin Gaethje

Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje are under the same management team but that won’t stop Khabib from attempting to smash “The Highlight”  Justin Gaethje.

Gaethje was in Los Angeles spending time with UFC commentator Joe Rogan in his studio. Rogan posted a video on his Instagram of Gaethje during workout with head coach Trevor Wittman, calling Justin a “savage.”

The UFC lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov dropped in the comments to remind Justin of the war that is ahead of him when both men meet at UFC 254.

“Justin is a very nice guy and good opponent for me, but when octagon close he have to be ready not only boxing match, I’m not Dustin [Poirier] or Tony [Ferguson],” Nurmagomedov wrote on Instagram. “I will take him to the deepest ocean and drown him.”

That’s a sinister warning coming from Nurmagomedov. The Russian has dominated every single one of his 28 fights.

Khabib has only lost one round in his whole UFC career. That round was against Conor McGregor in the third round fo their fight.

Khabib Nurmagomedov is scheduled to defend his lightweight belt against the human highlight reel Justin Gaethje in October at UFC 254.
