Khabib Nurmagomedov told former opponent Justin Gaethje that he was suffering with "jet lag" during his final UFC win before retiring.
The Russian star retired two years ago as an undefeated 155lb champion after defeating Gaethje in the last fight of his UFC career in Abu Dhabi. Nurmagomedov made light work of his rival, picking up a second round submission, despite claims prior to the fight that the American could provide a stern examination of his credentials.
Gaethje had arrived at the 'Fight Island' venue just a single week before the event took place, which involved him completing his final media duties and weighing-in. And Nurmagomedov has suggested that his conquered rival was even talking to him about the exhaustion of his body during the UFC 254 contest.
