Image
Photo: Khabib Nurmagomedov / Instagram Khabib Nurmagomedov , one of the greatest fighters in UFC history, has faced many tough opponents. But when it comes to punching power, he says no one hit harder than Justin Gaethje . The two fought at UFC 254 on October 24, 2020. It was Khabib’s last fight before retiring. During the bout, Gaethje landed heavy punches and kicks that Khabib admitted were painful. “He hit like a truck,” Khabib said on Mike Tyson ’s Hotboxin' podcast. “His left hook, right hook, uppercut—they all hurt.

Ireland Turns Away From Conor McGregor After Guilty Verdict

Image
Photo: Conor McGregor / Instagram   Conor McGregor , once celebrated as Ireland’s biggest sports star, now faces a wave of backlash following a jury’s verdict in a civil case that found him guilty of sexual assault . The case was brought by Nikita Hand, who accused McGregor of raping her at a Dublin hotel in 2018. She was awarded nearly €250,000 in damages, though McGregor has said he will appeal the decision.
