While speaking to the official UFC channel, Donald Trump highly spoke about the UFC legend. He said, “I think Khabib was great, and it looks likes he probably doesn’t come back, but I asked the analyst that where is Khabib? Are you going to get him for a comeback? I thought he was a seriously good fighter. I think he was a fantastic fighter.”

Despite his deep love for UFC, his statement about Khabib Nurmagomedov is significant given the polical incorrectness Donald Trump is known for.

Nurmagomedov also defeated Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje. Though Poirier before the fight had predicted that he was going to do something special against Nurmagomedov but he eventually couldn’t live up to his words.

Gaethje, too known for his unique fighting style, couldn’t stop the Nurmagomedov onslaught. He was put to sleep in the match by the Dagestani star’s lock. But both Gaethje and Poirier have respectful relations with Nurmagomedov.
