The build up towards UFC 229 has been relatively silent as of now — something the promotion is reportedly frustrated with Conor McGregor about — but the hype and the smack talk is sure to intensify in the coming weeks. The Irishman has gotten in the heads of many of his opponents, but according to Javier Mendez, none of his antics will matter.
In fact, it’s because of Khabib’s mental strength that the AKA head coach believes he’ll remain undefeated throughout his career.
“I’m of the belief that Khabib’s mental strength is so strong that I personally feel that he’s never going to lose,” Mendez told MMA Fighting.
