“The first thing I want to do is congratulate Khabib on a well-deserved victory. Habib - well done, champion. He endured, the fight was not easy, not easy, ”the athlete said in a video on his Instagram.
In his opinion, after the last duel, Nurmagomedov will study the whole fighting world, and athletes will train specifically for the current UFC champion. He noted that future rivals will try to take advantage of Nurmagomedov’s weaknesses in the stance, which is why the Russian needs to be added in this regard. At the same time, Emelianenko noted that in the struggle Nurmagomedov acts flawlessly.
“Now he needs to tighten the shock equipment, especially if he is going to box with Floyd Mayweather,” said Emelianenko.
On the night of September 7-8, Nurmagomedov defeated Porrier with a strangulation in the third round and for the second time in his career defended his UFC lightweight champion title.
Earlier, Nurmagomedov and Porie made a joint photo after the fight at UFC 242.
