[@worldpeace8824]

@@matheushenrique1395 You must be a casual. If he actually was overly concerned of the L, he'd have retired as soon as he won the belt. He defended his belt against the best 3 in the division, after which there was non. His father's actual target was 30-0 and if not for his fathers passing we could've seen him fight more. Don't forget oliviera wasn't a worthy contender back then, the guy who has so many Ls and literally gets dropped every fight. Btw khabib defended his belt with absolute ease. I think khabib said it best, if he came back n beat oliviera then they will say he's ducking dariush as well..

[@matheushenrique1395]

@@worldpeace8824 "You must be a casual", you mma heads are so repetitive, idfc, I'm talking in a business perspective. If he keep fighting at sometime he'll lose, can be Charles or other guy in the future, at some point someone's gonna catch up your style, the point is all he has now depends on his "invencibility", that's what makes him famous, and now a fight isn't just a fight for him, it's not risking only his win streak, is risking his business and all the people that depends on his business, also all the pride he raised to his region. "he'd have retired as soon as he won the belt", it's also a "no" otherwise he'd not be as famous. He is retired but is only one year older than Charles, dude is 33 he's not old to not fight, just don't make sense, I do believe he retired because of his father, but in a fighter perspective he really didn't go all the way to prove himself. But he'll not get back because the cost-benefit is more cost than benefit for him now and an L means to lose a lot in the other areas of his life, not only fighting.

@@PMC_Wanker_Group Don’t be so sensitive lol. I just watched it and all he said was that Islam would beat him and that Olivera tapped in the past and gets dropped in every fight, which is true. Other than that he was very respectful to what Charles has accomplished. He acknowledged him as champion. He literally quoted him saying, “the champ has a name and it’s Charles Olivera, I believe that.”

@Maxwell why do you think most Christians hate khabib, islam, usman, belal and other muslim fighters who reach the top?

[@boris_js]

@Maxwell I've been in this community for a very long time. Mma community is the most racist and toxic in all sports. Sorry for judging, coz he may not be racist, but there are many who are. You must be new to the community or born yesterday to dismiss it. When fans have nothing to counter khabib in terms of his perfect fighting career they resort to personal rcist hatred like attacking and slandering his wife, his goat farming passion, his religious practices, etc. There are so many mma pages where it's so blatant how much people hate on these muslim fighters. Watch belal's post fight interview where he said Americans from crowds called him dirty arab although he being an American himself. Usman still receives tonne of hate despite being p4p 1.

[@blueslover22]

Love listening to Khabib. Not only does he spit facts; he’s genuine AND keeps us entertained when doing so. He’s sorely missed and we need more Khabib content. Love his friendship w DC as well

[@blueslover22]

@Soul ByThePound I love olivera and I think he’s great, and it’s crazy how deadly his striking has looked in his last 3. I was shocked at how he put down Justin, I think it will be a good fight. I’m saying I love Khabib and I’m allowed to also really like Olivera. I honestly don’t see anyone taking the belt from him so let’s see the Islam fight. If there’s someone who has a chance it’s him even though I would be surprised since Olivera is harder than he looks. Seriously though. Who else can beat Olivera? I just don’t see it.
