I am a huge fan of Khabib. As a person i admire him, him being this amazing figher is the just cherry on top. I had the pleasure of meeting him personalt and he really is this guy, humble, gentle, polite and respectful. Doesn't matter what happens in his next fight, this will stay.

Khabib’s answer at 12:17 is so profound. People forget that khabib grew up in the middle of civil war in the late 1990’s... I don’t think people understand how different he is from your average American fighter. Just my opinion
