“It’s impossible to predict a fight. What direction it will go in and how he will do it. I never worried about an opponent’s action- what he will do and how he will do it. I always study an opponent’s strengths and try to deflect them when I get in the cage.”

“As far as the cut, I have never seen a fight where Diaz was not bleeding. You, however, never saw a cut on me not even a black eye. So I don’t think it’ll be a problem. My head and skin are good. Nobody ever cut me and I don’t think I’ll get one that’s so bad that the judges stop the fight. It’ll be interesting. I have never been hit in a way that left a black eye, so he has got a task for himself.”
Well one thing for sure that the fans are hoping that Khabib is right on this ocassion. After all, this is the fight to determine arguably the greatest lightweight of all time.
