Retired UFC star Khabib had some great things to say about Bellator MMA fighter Gegard Mousasi. The middleweight fighter fought at Bellator 275 and shocked everyone with a spectacular but rather short fight.

His bout with Austin Vanderford did not even run for two minutes. The middleweight champion won through TKO in the first round itself. With such a win, it is difficult to not acknowledge his skills as a fighter.
