He also revealed that his team is taking their time with the project and collaborating with artists and technicians from Hollywood, as they are hoping to win an Academy Award for the documentary. Khabib gave an estimate of a year and a half.

Khabib Nurmagomedov and his last title defense against Justin Gaethje

The Russian fighter’s last fight was almost certainly going to be against Tony Ferguson in April. However, that fight got canceled for the fifth time. This time because of the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ferguson fought Gaethje instead and lost his interim belt.

This led to Gaethje getting the title shot in October 2020. Gaethje stepped up and stood up to Khabib’s pace in the first round. However, he looked really winded by the end of the round, and the Russian took advantage of it.
