That's a huge task against Khabib, though.

No he's saying he's never gotten tired in training. Never submitted in competition.

He's right. If Lee could fight as well as he talks, Lee would not have lost three times in his 12 UFC outings.
The problem for Lee is that he can't back up his words with his performance. That's what separates him from someone like Conor, who has beaten every man he's ever faced in the UFC and has won multiple UFC belts.
Khabib is 24-0 as a fighter. He has his issues, but losing isn't one of them. Not yet, anyways.
So yeah, Khabib is right here. Lee should talk less and execute more.
As Rousey found out, all the talk and posturing doesn't mean anything if you can't get it done in the cage.
Every fighter has to deal with this issue. How much to promote himself/herself, and can you back up the hype with the performance.
Lee is a promising talent, but as we've seen so many times before -- Platinum Perry comes to mind here -- the hype often exceeds the reality.
I never liked Conor until he chose to rematch Diaz and did so at WW. Then I was like "Yeah, this guy is for real. Ok." And he got the win.
Lee has plenty of time to grow and improve, but there's a ways to go yet. It reminds me of the hype around people like Florian or Faber. They were always "going to be" champs, but it never quite happened.

It's so funny listening to Khabib talk sh*t about people who are actually fighting.
