As the former UFC heavyweight champion explained, Justin Gaethje’s ‘arrogance’ that he didn’t want to tap on Khabib was the main reason The Eagle chose the triangular choke way to win the fight.
“There are a number of little things that play a role in Justin Gaethje’s closure. He told me that when he saw the week-long interview, he saw that Justin said he would never pat himself,” Cormier said.
“And when it closed, that was [triangle choke] His dad’s favorite lock, go up, arm and do the triangle, “Cormier said.
