Abdelaziz said, “Khabib never had a close fight. You look at Jon Jones, last three fights were very close fights…. Khabib never had even a close fight… Dominance, Khabib is better. Undefeated. In many rounds, Khabib is better. Outside the cage, Khabib is better.”
“Khabib never had any action with USADA, none of the stuff…. Of course, Jon Jones is a great fighter, but he cannot tie the shoes of Khabib. I don’t think he can. He’s great, but I think Khabib is on a different level, ” he added.
