Israel Adesanya is the betting lines favorite, heading into his scrap this Saturday with Yoel Romero. But, recently Khabib Nurmagomedov and his striking coach, Javier Mendez, made a little wager between themselves on who’s going to take the fight.
Recently the video below was shared out in Mendez’s YouTube channel, in which he and Khabib bet on the UFC 248 headliner. When you consider that Mendez is a striking coach, and that Khabib is one of the greatest wrestlers in the game, you can probably guess on who picked who.
Khabib, meanwhile, is booked to fight Tony Ferguson on April 18th at UFC 250.
