“He is 38. Tell me, how he can come back? He was dominated last three fights,” Khabib said. “Different styles, a striker, a grappler, Dariush, Oliveira, Gaethje. They all was dominating him.”
“In stand up or on the ground. 38 years old, I think it is time to stop. There should be people next to him that could say that he must stop because of the age. It is not an easy business. Especially when you are not a young man,” Khabib added.
