https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2i_8yFmfgE UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov continued to prove he’s an unsolvable problem on the ground when he choked out Justin Gaethje at UFC 254. Right off the bat, Nurmagomedov (29-0 MMA, 13-0 UFC) pressured Gaethje (22-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC), who tried his best to keep his back off the cage. Gaethje landed solid leg kicks, but once Nurmagomedov was able to get the fight to the mat, Gaethje had no answer. Nurmagomedov locked in a triangle choke in Round 2 to submit Gaethje for his third title defense.
