Tukhugov says Khabib would "destroy" Strickland; discusses Lobov and Tsarukyan

Zubaira Tukhugov says Khabib Nurmagomedov, who trains twice daily, would dominate Sean Strickland if they ever competed, predicting Khabib would take him down and finish him. Tukhugov also revealed that Artem Lobov withdrew from their planned PFL fight after seeing Tukhugov in peak physical condition at a pre-fight photo shoot, and that Lobov has since gone silent on social media and stopped responding to messages. He identified Arman Tsarukyan as the one genuinely challenging grappling matchup for him and said he would welcome that contest in the future. Tukhugov is scheduled to compete against Elvis Brener at ACB JJ in Moscow on July 5.
