Khabib Nurmagomedov describes his nerves in corner for Islam Makhachev at UFC 280 | ESPN MMA 

When Khabib says “brahther” you know it’s gonna be straight knowledge.

Can we all just take a minute to respect how good khabib got in English 👏

That's not arrogance, that's confidence backed by hard work and insane training regime.

I can literally listen to this man all day. It’s not trash talking, he’s literally telling you how you will lose and it happens exactly the same way 😂👌🏾

"Cage cage everywhere same" "Give me location." - Khabib true champion. The GOAT

Khabib retired early to make way for Islam Makhachev, now he has achieved his second goal. Congrats brother.

This man oozes an aura that is unmatched, these men were champions way before they lifted the UFC belt!!☝️

When khabib say "we need location" 😂😂 this man is legend ❤️

This guys are so confident they tell their opponents their game plan and execute it exactly as predicted

he literally told volkanovski what to prepare for lmao what a legend

How can you dislike this guy? He is dangerous but kind.

Ever since Khabib graced this sport dirty trash talk has largely gone away. Respect for opponents is in style. Grace and strength is now beginning to be shown with appreciating your opponent. This man changed the entire game for good. That's the definition of a legend.

"The cage is the same everywhere, the cage closes it's you and your opponent"...legendary mindset

This man is great at everything he does... So happy he fulfilled his father dream and legacy 👏

"Even if he know this let him prepare" that's scary.. 🐐

Now people can respect what this man was. He was on another level to everyone. Hate him or love him but respect him

That's so crazy how smart Khabib is. So tactical and levels ahead of others.

His answer to "Was this the toughest fight of Islam" was pure class

“People have to understand” 😂😂 I love Khabib man

I'm not Muslim (I'm Christian) but I can't help but have a great deal of respect for Khabib and the way he handles himself. Respect.

'Volkanovski we respect you but we want to take your position' The most sweet threat call by khabib 🤣

Khabib is not only a great fighter. He's also an amazing trainor and now an upcoming promoter

Wow the fact he told volkanovski exactly what to prepare for is 🤯 That’s truly another level and confidence on: “can’t touch this”

Khabib... "HE WAS MY FATHER'S FAVOURITE STUDENT".... Deep word's spoken by the brother Khabib...

Now remember this, when khabib and Islam talk it’s not cockiness, it’s pure self confidence and belief.

Man, the way Khabib took his time and predicted Volkanovsi fight. I believe him.

“He was my fathers best student” these guys are unique

3:10. "I told Dana, brathar, I have to give him this belt, because I don't lose belt" F-classic!!! This guy is something else. 🦅

I like how confident yet pragmatic he is in the situation. Like, he's confident that Islam is skilled enough to handle Charles yet not ruling out the possibility of unpredictable turnarounds that happens in MMA (mentioning Leon vs Usman last second KO).

Khabib has won me over, didnt like him a few years back but he has showed me his qualitys? A good guy

Khabib literally pressured Belal Muhammad to go forward and bring the fight to Brady... He’s not just the LW Goat, he’s a great coach as well

Khabib was so polite he said Islam gonna take charles to deep ocean 😂

I know it sucks that he isn't fighting anymore, but I'm so glad we still get to see this guy and have him part of the sport and coaching such a high calibre of fighters.

This guy is the real GOAT !!!!!!!!

This guy is way smarter than most fighters. That is the reason he dominated.

Khabib is actually a good talker. He has a strange charisma about him and he is really accurate and respectful at the same time. The guy will go down as a legend of coaching aswell as a fighter. Usually a fighter is good but not a good coach or vice versa. It's rare for someone to have both qualities

Khabib dropping so much knowledge and confidence. What life looks like when you're 110% dedicated to something.

Wow, he straight up told Alexander what to prepare for. Khabib is a different type of gentleman...

I like how Khabib so bluntly reveals the prevalent double standards to the interviewer...how people hype up a fighter, and the moment they lose, they are not so great, not up to the level. We are very quick to raise and discard fighters. Great champion, greater man.

I feel like Khabib seems more excited after Islam's win than he was after his own wins. Really speaks to the close bond that they share, as well as what a generous humble person and teammate Khabib is imo

GOAT fighter, GOAT coach.

" Cage close , you n your opponent " That was epic Team Khabib is horrifying

The thumbnail looks like Khabib is staring into my soul.

Not only the GOAT, but also the greatest coach 👑

The disrespect Khabib has gotten since he retired is unmatched. He left the UFC because his father and coach past away, and every soul on social media would keep saying he's running from the division, he's scared of charles, you name it. For Islam to dominate charles the way that he did, there should be zero consideration who's the lightweight goat.

The brotherhood is so inspiring. I wish I had a brother like Khabib

My respect for Khabib is deep with many layers.

I noticed that with Islams fight, he was able to match Charles's thai clinch at one point and negated some of his kicks that Poirier struggled so much with. The gameplan from Khabibs corner was so good. Javier Mendez also deserves a lot of credit.

"There is nothing better in this sport than bring your opponent to the deep ocean, let them know what they're about, and let them tap." - Khabib

He even called out MMA fans who will forget charles like they did when he fought gaethje. The guy is more tuned into the sport than you can imagine

He started to become the best promoter in UFC. The way he explains the details and his honesty

It's crazy how Khabib's predictions for his fighters like 90% of the time come true exactly how he tells you and yet everyone still doubts him or his fighters

I remember Conor asking Brett "what Khabib gave to the sport", and that he went sprinting to retire after couple of title defenses... Now it's safe to say that Khabib contribution to MMA as a champion and then as coach is far more than anyone can deny. The guy is just so technical with his predictions, so humble when giving credits to fighters even when they lose, and a great businessman owning his own promotion. Khabib is sheer class, a one in a generation human being!

The fact that they made it look easy against Charles is just mind blowing!

2:58 this dude is so down to earth it’s amazing 6:14 it’s crazy how he can be so terrifying and so humble and nice at the same time!

Khabib always manages to be funny and serious at the same time.

His eloquence in English is unbelievable.

Khabib is such a beast that he literally tells you the fight plan before the fight and it works exactly the way he described. He did this for all of his fights, told all his opponents the fight strategy and beat them with it. No one is ready to coil with the Anaconda.

One of the most likeable people in the world right now! Speaks pure facts!

This skill of wrestling from daghastan is truly special. Khabib’s father spent his whole life preparing his students deep in a far off country quite quietly. Khabibs father is like that mystical secret teacher. Humble and knowledgeable. It will be hard for his son too compete with passing down this knowledge with all the extra fame they have acquired. Jet setting interviews businesses etc. When a man dedicates his entire life to teaching it’s truly special. We will probably never see something like this again from daghastan. Fighters are a dime dozen but a knowledgeable dedicated teacher is one in a million. Eventually we will see another far off country emerge from the dark with some spectacular style of fighting and it will be great but right now we need to bask in the glory of the things we have been privileged to witness in the mma world.

Volkanovski was just told exactly what to prepare for! That is incredible for a variety of reasons!!! More than anything, he was being honest, second, he was selling the fight before it’s even announced! This is going to be a HUGE HUGE fight that captures the the world!!!

I really like how khabib acknowledges how he's nervous. Not because he doubts islam, but because he loves him, and knows anything can happen at any time. I feel like so many fighters think they have to fake not being nervous because it "makes them look tough", but honestly everyone is nervous.

He is honestly giving Volkanovski the game plan and daring him to do something about it😅🤣🤣🤣🤣

It feels great that we get to watch great fights and great fighters without school kids trash talk and disrespectful drama.

This guy is a true ambassador for the sport.

One word: DEDICATION.Complete and utter dedication. Bravo Islam and Team.

How can you not love this guy ❤

Khabib letting Volkanovski know he’ll lose and the game plan with months left till the fight is terrifying 😳

He literally told Volk their gameplan. This is just badass 😂

This fight meant a lot for Khabib’s legacy. If Charles had won many people would have used this against Khabib’s goat status. But now this result only adds to his status. No one’s gunna say Charles would have beaten Khabib now. Edit: so many people said Khabib never fought a great wrestler or great submission artist but now we know Dagestani wrestling is the top tier of wrestling for mma.

The 🐐

As a McGregor fan, I've grown to really like Khabib as a person. I say this because I didn't know much about Khabib before the fight, but as an MMA fan I've paid attention to everything since and, as a person at least, I really like him. I really admire how he's switched to coaching after he lost his father.. and seems to be amazing at it.

If there were more people like Khabib, in this world, the world would be so much more just, fair, righteous and peaceful!!

He looks like a movie star in real life.

the OGOAT! (Original Greatest Of All Time) I love how real he is; totally detached from his own ego so his bro can rise and shine. "We're here for legacy - send me location." Such a pleasure bare witness! I feel utter gratitude for every decision their camp has made in the last few decades to make it to this point. Peace and Respect!

This guy is so humble, kind, generous and give respect to the opponents and a true ambassador of sports.

“I LOVE THIS GUY - HE WAS FATHER’S FAVOURITE STUDENT” love it ❤

Man if they can do this in Australia it will be bananas! Great time to be a UFC fan. I love Khabibs line hes been saying his whole career "Send Location" 😂

"we need location" what an absolute legend 🇷🇺👑

Khabib giving a lesson on respect! GOAT

How can anybody hate them? The sportsmanship, the commitment to the craft, the respect for opponents(if they deserve their respect, not like McGregor), the loyalty to their team. I mean they're simply just really awesome. This is one of the most deserved titles ever, only Oliveiras title is arguably more deserved than this one.

Khabib seems so authentic and earnest. He never interrupts and gives consideration before he answers.

Khabib is unbelievably mature and great story teller 🙏🙏✌️

The perfect example of certainty...not arrogance.....and mixed with honor well done

What an incredible personality he is man, huge respect to khabib, amazing human being always support his team ❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥

almost just said "maul him" that's their favorite word 😭 0:23

GOAT, best coach, best brother, what more can you say about this guy

How could not you not be a fan of Khabib ? He is one of the best ambassadors of the sport. Happy to see that he will be around to influence the sport, long after his retirement.

„Cage everywhere same. Cage close - you and your opponent“ - Khabib 🔥

Kabib your the one real hero lot of love ❤ from kerala

*Khabib is still on a league of his own ! never disrespect him by comparing him with other fighters like charles*

This man is simply an amazing human. So much respect for his views and thoughts.

“Please, give him some respect“ He has all mine Khabib.🤟🏾

" Khabib has been ducking me all week , he's not even paying attention " LMAO

*If Sambo was easy it would be called Jiu-Jitsu* The G.O.A.T 🦅👏👏

When i hear wisdom I can listen to it all day long. Especially coming from a person who didn’t know the language a few years ago. Absolute genius

I SWEAR TO TELL YOUR OPPONENT WHAT YOURE GONNA DO AND WHAT HE CAN DO TO PREPARE FOR IT IS CRAZY !! THE CONFIDENCE IS UNTOUCHABLE THIS MAN IS A ABSOLUTE LEGEND🙏🏼💯

Khabib's discipline when Islam tried to interrupt is something else. A true role model

Khabib has a very sharp sense of humour, just states the obvious! What a legend:)

Khabib has went on to be the greatest Ambassador or the Sport , Im a huge Conor fan but man Khabibs humble spirit and then hearing his team talk about how he pays for everything how he helps other young fighters elevate their careers , I am Christian but Khabib is my brother May Peace joy health safety and laughter follow all his days , such a great man , and u can see his happiness watching his team fight and win , it's almost like seeing them win is more meaningful that his own win
