"We're huge Khabib fans. I like his style. It could go either way, honestly... Once the fight gets there, it could turn on a dime.

"Conor might be able to take it back, who knows? I think they equally have a chance to be victorious in that fight. I can't wait to see it." said Rasheeda Ali to RT Sport.
