Khabib had posted a video clip on his Facebook account where he answered questions from some fans. One of the fans had questioned him whether he ever made Cormier tap out. He replied:
“No, I never make him [Daniel Cormier] tap. He’s like too big, he’s like Rock you know, he’s like very big bear. He’s very strong. People when they watch him they think like he’s like short fat heavyweight, but when people contact with him they understand he’s like completely different.”
Khabib further mentioned how Cormier helped him with his wrestling. He said:
“He’s two division world champion, light heavyweight, heavyweight, Strikeforce heavyweight champion, two-time Olympian. He’s like very very strong, and I never submit him but we wrestle a lot. He teach me a lot of things like on the ground, on the wall how to wrestle, like a lot of things.”
Khabib had a unblemished 29-0 record in his octagon career and he is arguably one of the greatest fighters of UFC.
