“And I know he made his father very proud” damn dude respect.

[baptic]

I love this guy. Still smiling, still positive, and praising his opponent. A true example

[canerg]

This guy literally went to sleep like 2 minutes before that interview, absolute madman standing there and smiling like he just came home from a walk😂😂😂

[sucapizda]

He knows he lost to a better fighter. No excuses, no bulshit, he's just a grateful, virtuous and humble guy. I really like him even more now.

[AliRazaTajamal]

Humble enough to be called a Gentleman, Gaethje. His parents brought him up well. Good luck future champ.

[TechRadicalTv]

I'm a fan of khabib equally for Justin too
I thought if they both could have won
But man you earned millions respect

[hhiskgj]

Justin the type of guy who wakes from being choked and the first thing he does is comforting the opponent who choked him.

Khabib’s speech after the fight,
translation from Russian:

“and now for my fans, and it would not be quite right to say ‘to my fans from Russia’, so let’s say ‘to all Russian speakers’, thank you so much, when I started all of this in 2008, and when I signed up for UFC and had the first fight in 2012, many didn’t believe in me, many thought it would be impossible. I’m a simple guy from a regular village in the mountain of Dagestan, who came over here. Just yesterday my brother told me: ‘according to Google, you’re the most discussed person on the planet’, I simply couldn’t believe it, because if you can imagine, I never had any of this on my mind, it was just my father and I dreaming of becoming a champion one day. I could never have imagined so much could happen to me. If you have parents, be close to them, and that’s it. I have only one parent left, my mother. I would like to dedicate more time to her”.

[rexeau]

Gaethje is a true honorable warrior. He doesnt hide after a loss like many others. He will come back for sure.

[PauIdenino]

It was wholesome to see Justin comforting Khabib when he got emotional after the fight, huge respect!

[Brian_Moser]

this guy is respectful, legit and just loves to fight. plain simple.

[johnballs]

"I know he made his father so proud." Good for you Justin. Good all around person.

[IftiAlam]

This guy is just a great person. Great sport. I really wish him the very best of luck and I hope he becomes the next champ.

[rabbiforrskeincoinblatt]

Khabib's wrestling is such a huge threat that people are afraid to actually go hard with their standup.

[tjuly]

Such as class act. Even though he lost he was smiling ear to ear because he got to experience what it’s like fighting the best in the world. I like him more and more every time I watch him

[CR-otee]

After GOAT Retires, It Is Justin Gaethje Time 👊🔥

[i.canalista]

Gaethje and Poirier gained so much respect after their Khabib fights. Khabib brought out the best of their character for the world to see.

[NoahCanFB]

"The best thing about getting choked out is there's nothing consequential to your health"

Bro Gaethje is a legit madman 🤣🤣🤣

[edemdjokotoe]

I cried when Khabib broke down. It was evident he had put a lid on his emotions for a long time as he prepared for what only he knew would be his last fight. The death of his father affected him more than we will ever know. Nothing but respect for you, sir, and I'm almost twice your age. You are an incredible human being. Thank you for the memories. I wish you good health and long life as you embark on a new journey.

[nkosinathindabane]

"he's very strong" that explains it all.
