“There’s gonna be a zone in front of me. It’s not very big, and it’s gonna be a zone of death. I have to represent death every time he enters the zone. That’s what I am the best at, creating carnage, creating car crashes.”

“My only goal when I step in there is to create as many car crashes as possible. Whether it be our bodies hitting, our heads hitting, our fu**ing shoulders hitting, our fists hitting, it doesn’t matter. I have to create car crashes cause that’s the only way to beat this guy.”

The champ chimes in

‘The Eagle‘ responded to a post on the matter on Instagram and seemed to be geared for the fight. He appears to be respectful of his opponent’s skills, however, as he enters the bout with an indomitable will.

The Lightweight title fight main event is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated bouts in recent memory. Khabib Nurmagomedov has gone on record to say that he will be fighting only two more times, once being against Gaethje. Chiefly, with his time in the cage limited, fight fans will be champing at the bit to see him compete under the bright lights.
