This kid Mohammad seems destined for greatness.

[@edgarlugo-vasquez5116]

man adrian yanez is a legend

[@levigabre8552]

It’s like I can hear both the British and Dagestani accents when Mokaev speaks

[@americasfavoritebrazilian2399]

He moved from Dagestan to U.K and learned English. We're you expecting a perfect English or a Spanish accent lol

[@homework9102]

I’m hearing a younger khabib voice and I’m not even joking 😂

[@rjim1]

Definitely some Manc accent in there, although Wigan has its own distinct twang. Thought I best add that before any of you Lancashire folk comes at me.

[@Sam-ng3of]

@@rjim1 I believer Wiganers call it "wiganeese", lol. Yeah, he definitely has that.

[@Schnitzer325ci]

That's because you can 🤪👍🏽

[@angelomendez12]

Yanez melted my heart man. I want to go and stand guard next to him.. Just to show him he has support and someone by his side. My heart HURT after that because the struggle life puts on us.

[@O_C293]

He was at a birthday party we hosted a week ago lol he was as humble as can be. I felt bad we were pigging out on tacos while he was pounding water, but the guy for sure is down to earth.

[@jackninety6]

No one’s gonna acknowledge stipe’s joke about offering his wife rides on his mustache 🤔😂

That Dagestan life is tough huh, he seemed so sad when he said his mum passed away, feel like they endured a lot of hardship :(

Ariel is correct. Having the prospects on is pivotal for their success. We the fans want to hear from them early in their career so we can learn their story and appreciate their journey. Thx Ariel

[@ninjavibez4696]

[@gurveerrai6679]

What about Fedor?

[@jesusduarte1271]

If Fracis beats Gane he will reign for a long time

I agree but it should say … in the ufc afterwards. Fedor was undefeated for like 10+ years and fought some reeeeeal killers

[@armyofski]

You would think the greatest heavyweight of all time with the most title defenses in heavyweight history would be given that trilogy fight immediately. Damn.

[@MrElmofamily]

All about money

[@brianp9001]

He already played that card with DC, and he got his wish. He waited for the rematch and eventually got it. No way Dana would allow that twice, given their odd relationship as it is.

[@theag3880]

Muhammad mokaev 🔥🖤🖤

[@LilBerny7389]

Once someone brought up the fact Sean Brady sounds like Eddie Alvarez I haven’t stopped hearing it 😂😂

[@aaronanderson6362]

Glad to see Stipe doing media- did anyone else notice that with that mustache he looks identical to those old school “disguise” glasses and rubber nose and mustache masks you could get back in the day??? Lmao

[@gourmetwaters6916]

I haven't got that far yet, but I figure you mean the ones based on Groucho Marx.

There’s so many similarities between Muhammad and Khabib. He’s so level headed and focused like the GOAT

[@technodromen]

Ariel with Stipe is so good man! Love em both. Whatever happends I at least hope he fights for the belt again. Imagine if he wins it again, no matter against who.

[@milkyway6508]

He must fight Francis again no matter what, they are 1-1 and the first fight he absolutely destroyed Ngannou.

[@technodromen]

@@milkyway6508 i agree 100%. not sure the ufc sees it like that. they prob want him to fight jones to see who’s the nr 1 contender
