Top ten UFC lightweight contender Justin Gaethje scored his second straight first-round knockout victory on Saturday night, when he finised Edson Barboza inside two and a half minutes of action. During a post-fight media scrum, “The Highlight” stated his intentions to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov, since he believes he is a bad matchup for the current champion.

Khabib never really responds to such words unless they were said by his Irish rival, but his coach Javier Mendez spoke in his behalf on Monday’s episode of The MMA Hour.
