Khabib vs Gaethje has been the most anticipated fight of 2020. Ever since “The Highlight” Gaethje defeated Tony Ferguson in a dominant way, Khabib vs Gaethje has been hyped as much as possible. Both fighters will fight at UFC 254 for the undisputed UFC Lightweight Championship.
UFC 254 opening video featuring Khabib and Gaethje
Recently, Dana White took to Instagram to share the opening video for the awaited event. Narrated by “Sons of Anarchy” fame Ron Perlman. He quoted the video saying, “BOOOOM!!!! If this doesn’t fire u up for next week….. NOTHING will”
The video features “The Eagle” Khabib as the dominant champion who has not just beat but broken his opponents into half. It also shows Khabib claiming that he wants “to be the most dominant fighter in UFC history”. Perlman describes Khabib as the fighter who “doesn’t play the game. He changes the game.”
On the other side stands Interim Lighweight Champion Justin Gaethje who demolished former interim champion Tony Ferguson in their fight. The video shows Gaethje believing that he will turn Khabib’s “lights off”.
Something’s got to give when he pound for pound for pound juggernaut and the most dominant fighter in UFC history meet at UFC 254. A high-flying relentless force who won’t be stopped.
The video ends with Perlman saying, “The most dominant fighter in UFC meets the most exhilarating thriller in the sport.”
With the fight coming sooner than expected, who do you think will win? Will Khabib put on a dominant display as always? Or will Gaethje be the first person to stop Khabib?
