While he doesn&#8217;t think that Nurmagomedov would beat Mayweather, he thinks that he would be able to achieve something that McGregor could not.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cI swear to god, Khabib would go the distance with Mayweather. He\u2019d go the distance with Mayweather. I\u2019m not saying Khabib is a better boxer than McGregor, he\u2019s not a better striker, he\u2019s not as elusive, he\u2019s not as slick but he\u2019s got a f*cking chin and he\u2019s got cardio for days. And Mayweather at his age, he was never a knockout guy even though he did have some knockouts. He knocked out England\u2019s very own Ricky Hatton in devastating fashion but I don\u2019t see it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>He couldn\u2019t put McGregor down and that\u2019s what Khabib\u2019s saying. You couldn\u2019t put McGregor down, I put McGregor down, but [Mayweather] put McGregor down through fatigue and that was his game plan. McGregor was very, very tired and he started eating shots and in the end, he couldn\u2019t even fight back because he was so exhausted and kind of beat up so the referee stepped in. That wouldn\u2019t happen against Khabib and Mayweather would probably embarrass him and light him up and pick him apart all night long but Khabib would probably go 12 rounds. Conor wasn\u2019t far away from going 12 rounds.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Before Nurmagomedov can get back to business with his fighting career, he must first find out what his punishment will be from the Nevada State Athletic Commission for his post-fight antics at UFC 229.
