I love how they both go over their game plans in front of each other, not giving a shit

[WhateverPete]

True champions can remain calm when facing their opponents. Leaving it all in the cage no need to be hostile when facing each other before the fight. This was pure champion style class.

[laustria]

At its best, fighting and combat sports is where humility and respect live with each other. Good luck to both these warriors!

[matthewhampshire]

They both have a mutual respect for each other. Let’s hope they show us what a real fight is. A showcase!

[TraViiStyMo]

This is one of those fights where it makes you depressed that someone has to lose

[bridge]

awesome fighters and even better humans. best of luck to them both

[MH-brth]

They seem to have a lot of respect for each other. It's a refreshing change from all the trash talk and other nonsense that leads up to so many fights. I'm hoping for a nice entertaining showcase of skill that goes the distance!

[RasLiongood]

Now this is what I call a decent sportsmanship. . Not the silly trash talks and starting fights before the main event. Well done to you both guys. It is sometimes hard to see or watch your two favourite fighters square up. May the best man win.. 🙏🙏🙏

[joshua-daniel-official]

When Gaethje took off his interim belt..
That's a badass move!! coming for the real belt...Waiting for Saturday !!

[BenZosT]

It's so refreshing, seeing two grown ass men acting like true sportsmen and not insulting one another like kids ...or chicken

[LucaOneTripleSeven]

Real classy move from Justin to put his "interim belt" out of the pic...this will be a crazy war!

[BluePvP]

Love the mutual respect between the two fighters.

[rustyredbeard]

Great to see two such dangerous guys so respectful and professional, this will be one hell of a fight.

[anonymous--]

Both champions respect each other....
This is a great thing in UFC...
It teaches us to be down to earth...

[hasdenteufel]

Every single word from Khabib seems so wise, could be from Konfuzius. He is a impressive character,
Justin is also a respectful person, no bad words for your opponent.
That’s the way it should be.

[Cranky_Puppets]

love how Justin dislikes the interim belt

[jaysonbarber]

Refreshing event where talent is highlighted and not what was said beforehand...

[amyvizor]

You gotta respect both fighters, I don't care who wins as there both amazing combat athletes. .... no trash talking and the up most respect to each other ...fair play can't wait

[HumanBeingsRThinkingBeings]

Justin - once Tired he loses
Khabib - Tires everybody

[wtbhelbreath]

Every Khabib fight before: "stylistically this is Khabib's toughest challenge to date and he's in big trouble if he can't get take downs"
after: was never even close
