Cormier claimed Habib told him after the fight that he felt sorry for Geichi and did not break his arm due to the fact that his parents Carolina and John were in the stands.
Earlier in the battle, after Habib had captured his tough opponent on the mat, he had the option to subdue his opponent with a deadly bolt near, but Habib contented himself with suffocation in the second round.
"He told me he saw Justin being interviewed and saying he would never give up," Cormier said, "so when he managed to captivate Geichi he knew he would not give up and did not want to break his arm in front of his parents. So he switched to suffocation and kind. "Send him to sleep. That's exactly what he told me, crazy, right?"
As you may recall, Habib won in a short time, after strangling the American Geichi and causing him to surrender.
"Thank you Justin, I know you're great," Normgomedov said, "I know you will take care of your people. Stay close to your parents because you can never know what will happen tomorrow. I have fulfilled my father's dream. Justin and Conor (McGregor) will fight In January - I strangled them both - now it does not interest me anymore. "
