Justin Gaethje is gearing up for his anticipated title fight against UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira and as fight night nears, it is obvious that both the fighters will trade barbs. Meanwhile, ‘The Highlight’ has caused quite a stir in the MMA world with his recent comments about former lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov that even got a reaction from the Stockton Native, Nate Diaz.

Gaethje, in an interview before his title fight at UFC 274, talked about his previous title fight with the Dagestani wrestling ace. He stressed that ‘Do Bronx’ won’t be having an easy fight against him.

He said, “[Charles Oliveira] is gonna have to walk through hell like Khabib did. He better be praying everyday he gets me to the ground.”

However, this was too much to handle for fight fans, as they knew what really happened at UFC 254 in Khabib Nurmagomedov’s last fight. ‘The Eagle’ finished Gaethje with a Triangle Choke.

And the first one to call Gaethje out was none other than Nate Diaz himself, who wrote in his Instagram stories, “Bruh got triangle choke from the mount, what he talking about?”

“Dude khabib make you tap and sleep on same fight,” a fan reminded Gaethje of his second-round submission. “Khabib walked through YOU and it wasn’t hell,” another told Gaethje.

Fans couldn’t stop but make a popular pop culture reference, “Khabib walked through the candy shop.”

“Khabib took it easy and submitted you so he didn’t have to maul you in front of your parents,” a fan stated ‘The Eagle’s reasoning for not getting into a brawl with Gaethje.
