Social media is part of life in the fight game for most fighters. Many of them turn to Instagram to keep their fans and followers informed and entertained since (for now) its reputation is less vitriolic than some of its contemporaries. Ahead of his fight against interim lightweight champion Justin Gaethje (22-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC), check out some of the most popular Instagram posts from champ Khabib Nurmagomedov (28-0 MMA, 12-0 UFC) over the past year. Nurmagomedov and Gaethje headline UFC 254, which takes place Saturday at Flash Forum at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN2/ESPN+ and early prelims on UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+.
