UFC-kommentatorn Joe Rogan har bara positiva saker att säga om Khabib Nurmagomedov efter den imponerande segern mot Edson Barboza under UFC 219.
Ett avslut hade kanske gjort det hela ännu bättre, men enligt Rogan var Khabibs lika skräckinjagande som en snabb knockout eller submission.
Det här berättade Rogan via podcasten ’JRE MMA Show’:
He’s just on such another level that the odds of beating him drop significantly after the first minute-and-a-half. You saw the look on Barboza’s face: Two minutes in and he’s trying to get up. You saw the look on his face and it’s like, ‘(Expletive), how am I gong to do deal with this?’ It’s just so next level.
Khabib, after this performance, has set it up to a place where he’s the most terrifying lightweight contender in the world. Then you have Tony Ferguson, whose a (expletive), and has the interim championship, then you have Conor – who knows what happens with him? I think the UFC’s going to give him some time, let the holidays pass, see what the (expletive) happens and then make some moves.
