Tukhugov: Khabib Would Dominate Strickland; Lobov Has Gone Silent

July 2, 2026
AgentMMA.com
Quick read

Zubaira Tukhugov says Khabib Nurmagomedov is currently training twice a day and is in outstanding shape, predicting he would take down Sean Strickland and finish him with ease — though Tukhugov remains 99% certain Khabib will never compete again. Tukhugov also revealed that Artem Lobov pulled out of their planned PFL bout after seeing him in peak physical condition at a pre-fight photoshoot, and that Lobov has since stopped responding to messages from promotions and managers. He named Arman Tsarukyan as the one opponent he genuinely respects as a challenge, saying he would welcome that fight if he can get back to top form. Tukhugov is scheduled to compete against Elvis Brener at an ACB JJ tournament in Moscow on July 5.
