Javier Mendez relationship with khabib is priceless

[@joneeddison9390]

Best coach is Xavier Mendez, look at how humble he is, he did everything, he has perfect humanity and humility , that is why he is best coach in the UFC.

[@MannElite]

Javier Mendez has got to be up there for MMA coach GOAT. There have been some that have captured the spotlight for a period, like Firas Zahabi, Jackson-Wink, Trevor Whitman, Faber & Team Alpha Male, Mike Brown & ATT, Longo-Serra, there is a huge list, but honesty, What Javier Mendez has done at AKA going back to Cain and King Mo, Josh Koschek, Josh Thompson, DC, Luke Rockhold, Khabib, and now Islam, He must have produced more champs/notable fighters than any of them. Jackson Wink may have more in terms of numbers but they havent had any serious talent for a while. AKA seems like its only growing with even more fighters coming down the pipe.

[@Bdestiny933]

Javier is the GOAT. Amazing coach and beatiful personality.

[@jakethesnake4971]

Having the Dagestany connection helps tremendously, but you can't deny how good of a coach Javier is. Like the way he fit in perfectly during and after Khabibs father was there, navigating that would be tricky so you're not stepping on anyone's toes and all that stuff.

[@s2769]

javier is a smart man for investing into the dagestani guys, there dedication and comittment, is different, 1/10 of them likely ot be champ

Now, he is the goat. He’s my favorite out of them all, and there are some amazing coaches.

Can’t wait for Islam to shine and take over at 155, people will still doubt him over his one tko loss 7 years ago. Says he has no striking, yet he’s the least hit fighter in the UFC.

[@PCE-20]

can you explain where charles had his some moments, he was outsriked, out-grappled , he was worried about the takedowns after the first exchange, he could not utilize his striking due to Islam' s defense and crisp striking and immense pressure and then he was dropped and submitted.

[@alcottdevalte7440]

Even though it was one sided fight, Charles showed that his takedown defence has improved, he managed to attempt lower body attack on the ground in round 1 to get up and he did alright in the clinches before getting taken down and outworked.

[@fauzanazima5755]

@@alcottdevalte7440 man… Charles is very good of grappler. It just Islam strategy is very perfect. Remember how Charles kick Islam’s face just at the moment he had space in 0.5 second. Man that one of the hell reaction from Charles. But still Islam strategy is better

[@alcottdevalte7440]

@@fauzanazima5755 I agree, and him throwing that upkick was extremely dangerous, and if Charles had a better defence, this fight could have lasted much longer. I have said this for a long time and even Charles' trainers ignored it; you can't get hit too often at the highest level because one day you're going to run into a brick wall...

[@danf8047]

What a legend!

[@alcottdevalte7440]

If Islam sticks to father's plan and has a great reign as a champ, I hope Javier makes him move up to 170 by 2024 to try to get that belt. And how Javier never became coach of the year just shows how much politics is involved, he has trained 6 UFC champs by now and a dozen of champions in general...

[@myownlilbubble]

I doubt that. Seeing as Jake might clowned around in AKA....bad vibe in the gym....Coach Javier might reject Jake out of conflict of interest. If two gym mate are competing, Coach Javier mentioned before that he will let them to sort things out between themselves......and one of them usually pull out and train elsewhere. If a new guy wants to come in and are competing against a current AKA fighter, Coach Javier will decline the new guy. Khabib was introduced to AKA and Coach Javier back in 2012...by King Mo himself. King Mo asked Coach Javier if Khabib could train in San Jose and since at that point of time, there was no direct competitor in the LW division in AKA..he gave the green light.
