Just got done watching a DC / Ariel Helwani podcast recapping UFC 254. So DC had a private talk with Khabib (Face Time). Do you remember the armbar attempt he made in the first round? He was going for it the second round but then switched to a triangle choke, _when _he could actually just attempt the armbar again._ WHY?
DC said that, according to Khabib, he switched to a triangle because "Khabib remembered Justin saying prior to the fight that he wasn't going to tap. So with that in mind, *Khabib switched to a triangle choke because Khabib didn't want to hurt Justin in front of his parents.* He figured he would just put Justin to sleep, and when he wakes up he'll be fine, no major damage."
He managed to find the time to think of sparing Justin's parents' feelings, _in the middle of a CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT._ Oof.
