"i come from crazy mountain!"

[@carpediem668]

What he's trying to say is that, he was born in a country where you grow up fighting against human, animals like bears and wolves. In the western world, you can't imagine someone fighting against a wolf. But in the caucasian mountains, it was normal to go out at 6am to go collect some wood and face a wolf. We Caucasian people aren''t afraid of anything, not even Conor Mcgregor.

[@carpediem668]

Khabib will never say "No" to a fight. We Caucasian people have our own pride and we will do anything to defend that

[@carpediem668]

Tyler W. When the Russians invaded the Caucasian Mountains, they fought with swords against tanks. So fighting against a bear isn't special at all

Watching this again today after almost a year. Man how meaningfully and thoughtfully Khabib spoke. True mixed martial artist. At 4:30 when he responds and says he can't look his fans in the eyes if he rejects fights. What a deserving champ. All the best Khabib I hope you stay the champ for long. He has great values and morals and you can see those in his russian interviews as well as this one. Its just that he can't speak English very fluently, people laugh it him. But its all good. Khabib forever.
