People talk about khabib like some mystical species. Holy shit!!!

[@yashasdrvvfgc1067]

Its real brother

[@davidbjjkoran3563]

they have a good reason for it... especially bigger guys heavier if they feel pressure from him and can't do sh*t you know 4sure he is gonna demolish absolutely anybody in his weight division

[@alexr1934]

I could watch fighters talking about Khabib all day every day. Serious thanks for this video.

[@ubairahmad3642]

Same feeling

[@Skyx5m50]

I faced him in a Jiu Jitsu tournament when he first came to America. I remember I had no idea who he was but I was scared of him before the match even started. He took me down and submitted me easily 😂. I never felt the strength and technique like Khabibs. Even some heavyweights aren’t as strong as him, I wrestled and grappled a lot of people won state championship California 2012.

[@charlottesphie7037]

​@@Skyx5m50wow. Who are you? Are you a professional?

Makhachev on khabib vs conor: "No, i dont think 1st round, because khabib wanna play,like when he's(conor) tired,khabib wanna play with him .."

[@youssefelkafil7746]

« Maybe fourth round » he added

[@williammoore1980]

McNuggets fans always desperately cling to “Oh, Conor won the first round”, “he lasted longer than anyone”, “oh he got that one knee in”. It’s pathetic. Years after the fact neither they, nor their hero can admit Khabib could have ended it multiple times earlier if he wanted to.

​@DarkLeoPlays Actually it was Gleison Tibau. In fact, it was the one fight I thought Khabib lost at the time.

[@sadboitimes9012]

Khabib is a celebrity among celebrities. MMA superstars talk about him the same way we do. He's the greatest athlete of the 21st century.

[@sl0ptart]

Everyone else fighting and Khabib is like nah nah nah... It's art.

[@byronlaney3838]

He does his work in the gym that's why the fight comes easy!

[@gumikebbap]

Add to the checklist: win DNA lottery, have a judo master dad , live in daghistan, wrestle bears since a kid, never drink...

[@kungallu2133]

Thats beacuse hes a humble person!! Khabibs confidence comes from hes work ethics, he does hes work in the gym and the fight comes easy

[@anyq_CS]

@@gumikebbap you're right its not a coincidence.he said that his mom's brother was a wrestler.both family of his parents are athletes.look at all of his cousins in mma.he has the genetic and personal trainer which is his dad since the beginning.

[@aribrahim1898]

When Habib started at the UFC he was just a wrestler, but by the time he was fighting for the title he was a complete MMA fighter.

[@garretisla5282]

Rockhold had genuine fear in his gaze. You could see him remembering getting beaten by Khabib. He was just to proud to admit that he got handled by a much smaller guy. That is scary as hell. Luke is not a small guy, or a slouch, despite what people may think about him. He is genuinely one of the best fighters in his division. And he was afraid. Afraid. A wolf amongst sickly curs.

[@robertwhite]

What a monster!! Khabib is just so dominant!

[@Adam-xd8df]

He trains harder than everyone else that's why he's great

[@mixedmartialarts8123]

The Greatest*

[@tonytnttubbs6984]

Everybody knows that part but the real reason is he uses process of elimination meaning there's only so many ways a person can move and so many things you can do when getting grabbed so when something happens he's already seen it, he already knows the next move and knows his exact options or moves to completely shut it down where they are just sitting ducks

[@kylebiddy885]

Pound for pound GOAT.

[@simplysimple7628]

Hard to imagine why Khabib never compete for or in the olympics. A giy like him is definitely gold material. Heart and mentality is the absolute must have. And Khabib has it. More than that.

[@fsalhin99]

Sambo and grappling are not Olympic sports that's why. he's a two time Sambo world champion and there was nothing more left for him to achieve in that direction so he shifted his focus elsewhere

[@simplysimple7628]

@@fsalhin99 yeah I guess so. He’d probably do well in any type of wrestling in my opinion.

[@alekseydrotenko3289]

The regional wrestling try outs for the Dagestan region have more talent than the Olympics. And then those guys have to go to nationals to wrestle against Chechens, Udmurts, Siberians, Alans and Kobordinians. There is a reason countries now offer citizenship to top wrestlers from those regions who end up representing them in the olympics and world championships. To put it this way, a guy who takes third place at Dagestani regionals would probably maul national champions from most countries.

[@yeonu8228]

Its bc of his Father goals in to make Khabib is The Best Champion in UFC..

[@bozhidarmanev3813]

Man the way Islam talks about how Khabib wants to PLAY with Conor, calmly, almost like it's a joke but you can tell he's serious as fuck is some scary shit!

[@tatabhai3453]

Goat 🐐

[@amjadsulieman1148]

#1 of all time

[@fareedkhan4528]

The fact that as a lightweight he never loss to Cain, Rukhold and daniel cormier makes him GOAT because these guys are heavyweight and not casual heavyweight they are Champs in their division.

[@therainman7777]

I think you misunderstood part of the video. When Mendez said Khabib never lost a sparring session (btw he said Khabib _has_ lost rounds, just not entire sessions)-he’s talking about a proper sparring session, in which Khabib would be doing real sparring against someone his own size and weight class. Khabib did some grappling training with Rockhold, but that wasn’t real sparring where there are rounds and everything, and most likely Rockhold was not going at 100%. And almost certainly Khabib has _never_ sparred rounds with DC. That would be insane, that’s a lightweight and heavyweight sparring. No way that’s happening in any halfway decent gym. Again, DC and Khabib have probably wrestled each other a bit in the gym. But that’s not a proper sparring session, and even in those cases DC was not going anywhere near 100%. Khabib is an incredible fighter, probably the greatest ever at lightweight and one of the greatest ever p4p, too. But there’s simply no way he’s winning against a UFC heavyweight champion who’s also an Olympic-level wrestler in Daniel Cormier. The difference in size, weight, and strength is simply too vast.

[@youssefkhaled9666]

"I think it's going to look a lot like this dog I saw grab a rabbit once.... more like a wolf" ...LMAO

[@alekseydrotenko3289]

Wolf is halal and dog is haram.

[@onebadmoto]

And the French guy saying he’s not the strongest or the best wrestler but then completely contradicts everything by saying he keeps you on the ground. That’s bc he’s the best wrestler ever in the ufc. No close second. He literally lost two rds ever and they were questionable. It won’t be truly understood how good he was for awhile. When no one comes close to that in ten years then they will

[@TheShottingTrick]

Well said

[@dubenstein6347]

Dustin recently gave a great depiction: "he isn't the strongest guy at 155, but his balance and having the skill set / knowledge to be one step ahead without exerting much effort is so good".

[@alekseydrotenko3289]

Some people consider explosiveness as a measurement of strength. Khabib does not explode like some guys because he trains to hold you, now to hit you the hardest. If he wanted to be the hardest hitter he could have worked on that if that was his priority. So when they say strongest they probably mean he doesn't bench or squat the most. His grip strength though is what sets him apart. Once he gets a hold of someone, there is no escaping before the belt.

[@Goggalor1990]

It's like my coach (Brock Larson, also fought in the UFC and One). He's still really strong but he's not going to win a bench press competition. But his static strength and grip is otherworldly. He feels like he's made out of rocks and he'll give you an arm and dare you to try to Kimura him. Doesn't move an inch no matter how hard you try and it works all the way to heavyweight lol. No one is worthy haha 😆

[@tonyrome068]

The difference of COMBAT SAMBO VERSUS WRESTLING! Combat is designed to kill, wrestling is a sport!
