Justin Gaethje would have refused a short notice fight against Khabib

Justin Gaethje told BT Sports that he would not have accepted a short notice fight against the Khabib, “I don’t think I would have taken the fight against Khabib on short notice.”

“In order to get taken down once or twice by Khabib, and work up, and still be able to fight, I really do need at least 10 weeks. You know I’ve been training my whole life but there’s certain lactic acid that builds up that you really have to account for. No matter what, this is not perfect circumstances, but a fight is a fight,” Gaethje told the English news outlet. When it was on 14-day notice, that was much different than now, or 20-day notice. Now I’ve had five weeks to train, it’s not what I’ve asked for, or wanted, but I do believe that before this I was in better shape. … I didn’t let myself go. I was telling myself since the beginning of the year, I was gonna fight again and it was gonna be a big fight.”
