I also make artistic content related to fighters. I really recommend watching my "Khabib road to UFC champion" and "Kamaru Usman road to UFC champion" videos. Khabib road to champion: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8jUQuXZaprE.html Kamaru road to champion: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-74lGI67_Yfo.html
Thing is, Khabib's analysis on fighters has been spot-on for years. So this is really meaningful coming from not just the P4P#1, but someone with a lot more superior objective opinion on the sport than possibly anyone else right now.
I honestly think he beats Adesanya if they ever fought. Which is never gonna happen because of their whole "Africans not fighting each other" bullshit.
He is a beast...his biggest challenge and most dangerous fight in my opinion is Chimaev...as long as he comes back as strong as before from Covid...I think Chimaev's skills are maybe the answer to Usman ... we'll see I hope?
it’s because of what he represents as kamarudeen usman of the umah look how they promoted adesanya and ngannou and they done half his work And against real competitors.
@@ledikraja6142 Dude please.. Adesanyas record is spot-on and no one can argue with that. He is one of the most active champions around, takes up every challenge and ran through the middleweight division. Even Whittaker didn't want a rematch too soon, because he knows he has to up his game to fight Izzy. Yes he's been promoted a lot, but it's not like he's been given easy fights, or picks easy wins.
but he was also implying that he doesn't need Khabib's approval (but he respects it) because he already thinks he is. It's understandable, fighters want their own spot light after putting up great performances and dedication to the sport.
@Mike Hansen why fight your friend if not necesary. They arent in the same division. And btw usman have said he doesnt want to fight khabib. The same as usman said he doesnt want to move up and fight izzy
@Mike Hansen 😂😂😂 emergency please we have a person that dont have a brain khabib father would kick A.silva and gsp ass and people please stop talking about that he is a muc nuggets fan its no funny any more but inthe end connor fans they did that to thierselves Rip abdulmanap
@@izayoikishazuka7122Khabib changes your mentality permanently. Look at Conor, he got humbled n never been the same. Look at Michael Johnson, he was coming out of a KO'ing Poirier and lost to khabib, never been the same. He makes you question your abilities. Then you either improve well or go down. That's what GSP is saying
@@AceofDlamonds I agree. Khabib was most dominant but his run at the elite level was short, Jones a cheater so GSP the true goat. 13 title fights 2 divisions and he use to only cut about 10 lbs so use to be fighting bigger people sometimes. Also his style was very versatile and true MMA he use to switch it up depending on the opponent. And he did it all clean which imo puts him above Jones especially since Jones been looking unimpressive since USADA cracked down on him
"The athletes of today, are better than the athletes of yesterday. The athletes of tomorrow, will be better than the athletes of today." GSP Crazy to think martial arts will only go forward. I hope I make it.
yeah would be interesting. I would think there will reach a point where it is going to be "maxed" out assuming ehancing drugs aren't legalized. Then it would be who can execute and strategize better. Would be hype.
@@emsa7esm203 kinda how boxing is rn, like boxers of a decade ago even 3 decades ago could still be world champions today, same thing cannot be said about mma
Usman is pound for pound right now the best fighter in the ufc hands down. Dudes super active makes no excuses and wins his fights and can also finish them too
I am Muslim too from bosnia, but enough for biased in the name of religion. We european didn't biased and fake eventough we have the same religion with someone or the others. Yeah usman clearly the best, but the other one i can't say that. Haven't prove enough balls yet.
You can see that warrior pride oozing from Usman that he doesn't necessarily need Khabib to validate him. How I'd like to see these two go at it at Welterweight
I think Khabib is better p4p but Usman is just too big for him. Khabib's game relies on pushing opponents against the fence. ok when you are similar size, but Usman is way bigger. He is never making 155.
@@JohnSmith-gp9ut surely. But a few guys have done it across multiple divisions - Conor and GSP. And really I thought Izzy's fight with Jan wasn't a total outclass. Who knows what Izzy can do with better prep and now experience from that fight? If Khabib would fight in welter as, apparently, his father wanted and win. He'd definitively close the GOAT question. I mean if Jones beats Ngannou the same thing happens
@@JohnSmith-gp9ut Man Khabib is strong as hell and very good on the ground even Gaethje who trains with Usman said that he could beat guys at 185 and less
@@frosty2.010 Most definitely. All Jon has over Khabib is the number of title defenses. Had Khabib fought Alvarez in 2016 like he was supposed to instead of the UFC using him as a pawn to lure McGregor into fighting Alvarez, Khabib could have easily had 10-12 title defenses up to now. One thing that Jon doesn't have over Khabib is the sheer dominance over his opponents like Khabib. To dominate his opponents in such a fashion that he has never bled, been damaged or in trouble inside the octagon. That to me is the #1 P4P to ever do it status.
Not only a great fighter but also a solid human being. You have all my respect Khabib. You are my hero. I pray to Almighty that all muslims have sons like you. Amin!
This dude is a real champion well spoken n 💣 for hands . Wrestle game as good as any in the welterweight division jus all around good at everything #Salute
This Dude fought colby like a gentle man, stand up toe to toe eventough he is great on wrestling, he is the real warrior has the balls can fight like a gentle man too, where i am Come from people who huging and fight in the ground called she male or ladyboy. But this guy prove that he one of great not because he great at wrestling, but because he just really a great fighter and he is a warrior. I love fighter who has the balls like nate, nick, tony, usman, Mcgregor, colby, dc, stipe. They are a warrior because of their mentality and their big balls.
You saw all the crap Masvidal was talking about taking the fight on short notice. Kamaru is going for legacy, he had to shut up Masvidal and Colby is next with no trilogy
Very humble and confident. He knows he is no no. 1 in history but knows he is rightfully know seen as #1. I didn’t like his fighting style either but gotta acknowledge his achievements
U do realise usman and khabib love each other like brothers so ovs there gonna say that also I believe khabib did really mean that cause he doesn’t lie especially off cam with his own manager
It says a lot about khabib's values. The Guy doesn't live for his ego, for titles. As soon as he left, he said it's Kamaru p4p, like now he strives for Islam to be champ. It's why people love Khabib so much.
Usman is such a nice guy he is the best welterweight today and being this humble for sure he learned a lot from Khabib and Colby after losing to Usman two times..still behaving like an asshole😁
@@dennisharvey5852 they meet somewhere in the middle (before Jon decided to move heavyweight). I still think usman wins tbh but it’s all hypotheticals.
The way Usman won his last fights vs the way Jones won his last fights, I thinks there is no doubt Usman is more dominant right now. Maybe the move to HW will bring back the old fun Jones, because I sure miss watching him fight the way he used to.
when its all said and done me might just be the greatest welterweight of all time. even surpassing gsp which is crazy. he isn’t quite yet but he for sure has the potential to be.
If he beats Masvidal in the rematch then he deserves it. He'll have 3 title defenses since the last time Jones won a fight, and even then the Reyes fight was controversial
He deserves it already, usman has one competitive fight and that was Colby, he smashed everyone else. Jones isn’t fighting as frequently and he’s not dominating like he used to. Plus he lost to Reyes let’s be real
I wish top level fighters in all fighting sports were more active, so we can get a better judgement on P4P but I think with the injuries they sustain from fights they can only be active so much. 4 fights per year would be amazing, in boxing sometimes you'd be lucky to get even 1 per year
For me, he's level with Adesanya right now. Both basically cleared out their division. Yeah, Adesanya just lost to Jan but he stepped up and fought a bigger fighter. Let's see Usman fight a contender at MW before taking that into consideration.
