Umar Nurmagomedov (UFC Bantanmweight) talks about Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev's GAME. He says Khabib will grab you and Islam will play with you. Khabib will SMASH you, while Islam will CHOKE you.
Wrong. Its not Kabib and its NOT Habib either. Its KHabib. Kh has a different sound than K alone or H alone. Think of it as trying to hock a loogie to spit it out. Thats the sound he makes.
Guys, I am Russian and I can explain you the difference. Consider the name as Habib. Just that russian "H" is stronger than english "h". English "h" sounds like a light exhale to me. Russian "H" is stronger. That's the only difference. But it's not Khabib))) by the way Russian letter "H" is written as "X" (sounds almost like "h" but stronger). So his name in Russian is Хабиб.
He’s my easy money in the bank as islam was 3 years ago. Unfortunately everyone is clueing in to the fact that he is a absolute monster now & he is only good as a leg of a 5 leg parlay. - 100% champion in the making.
Yeah khabib would just straight up take down his opponents and beat the shit out of them. Biggest examples are Michael Johnson and Edson Barboza. Damn near looked like Johnson was getting jumped
Islam likes to challenge himself and his opponent by not going in for the kill immediately. Khabib is someone who takes the openings seriously and a tiny bit of opening is just an opportunity for him to go all the way and just lock you out until its over.
@Konv : I don't think it's all about Islam challenging himself. Khabib also goes full throttle because he has an insane amount of cardio and will to bank on. While Islam is a great grappler but he has nowhere same cardio as Khabib, thatswhy he doesn't rely on gnp but goes for submissions.
I don't think it's a huge difference between the two. I think their squeezes are similar but Islam has a bit more power. It's just the method that breaks you. If someone plays with you you'll have more room to take a break to breathe a little bit but if someone is on you for the entire fight and he has more endurance and he imposes his style of fighting on you he's gonna break you both physically and psychologically.

It's crazy how gentle and nice these Dagestani dudes are but inside the cage they are crazy fighters that will gonna make their opponent ponder "what in the world did I just get myself into" 😅
Khabib gameplan was like ufc Brock Lesnar who tend to bring opponent to ground and pound them there.. khabib of course has more perfected this gameplan because of his experience in MMA over the year.
every time i hear how good khabib is, ill have cruz's voice in the back of my head saying connor was protecting his face in a smart way (while his face was getting bashed in)
Everybody in the Dagestani camp says that Khabib is the best. But UFC tries to promote all the other Dagestani fighters as if they're better than khabib. Coach Javier himself said that nobody beats Khabib. Truly the 🦅 is the 🐐
You're trying too hard to convince yourself..i've heard Belal say the same thing umar said about the two guys,,Islam has better bjj and judo and likes flexing on opponents and he's smooth making it appealing to the eye..while khabib has better wrestling and ground& pound making it rough showing no mercy while being less technical than Islam...DC said the same thing so i don't know what you're on about fanboy
@@Chille10 belal never said it tho. Islam and khabib are so technical in the ground. But, khabib give no space and teach belal in hard way (practice). However, islam give belal some tips to escape. Both of them have totally different style in grappling department. Khabib chose to GnP than get better position and maintain current position. I would say that was more wrestling style than bjj. In other hand, islam tend to change position to get better position even tho sacrifice his current position (bjj way). Thats why a lot of fighter called khabib style is smash
@@rizals_archive i agree, maybe less technical was a wrong choice of words from my side..belal said islam will go for submissions to get you out early rather than making you suffer like khabib...khabib takes the wrestling route by pinning you down and pounding you while maintaining good positioning and islam takes the grappling routes looking for submissions and if that doesn't work out he pounds you (his gound & pound isn't as good but grappling is better than khabib)
@@Chille10facts. islam is more well rounded fighter. better judo, bjj, striking but khabib is a GOD in the grappling. islam cant ground£ or the opponent will have an oportunity of go out. people Who say Islam has better grip are crazy cause khabib isnt holding you and then go to the sub, he is smashing you. and judo of Islam is pretty good but khabib is so fast and good at one thing that he only needs go to the leg and take you down
@@Chille10without mention khabib's gas tank. tho I would love a figth between this two at welter cause in that weigth maybe Islam would win. and forma example I think Islam would beat some dudes in welter that khabib wouldn't. in ligthweigth khabib is the most dominant ever
We talk about a professional fighter who probably has never lost a round (not only a match) in his career... Anyone who thinks he could have beaten him probably doesn't realize how much strong, technic and intelligent is this guy. Just to mention what other fighters said about khabib: "everybody know Khabib's game but nobody can stop him"
Very true. I have noticed Islam more often goes for the submissions and positioning while khabib would just beat the shit out of you and if the submission was there he took it
Precisely, Islam is probably more well well rounded and is more likely to choke you out, but Khabib always possessed a level of aggression especially in GNP which I personally haven’t seen since he retired
Also i dont think the ufc wants to have champions who arent entertaining so itll be harder for him to get the shot. Knockouts always trump hugging someone on the ground in terms of entertainment but i cant blame them from doing it to win.
@@andrewcruz8273 i mean ya , he's a muay thai .... I am talking about as a human being personality he's very close to Khabib. Sometimes he also just behaves like khabib , his seriousness, being funny ,logic , etc ..
Khabib dont want to finished you , he likes to smash you and punish you cuz he can fight 5 round without fatigued and scratch , khabib is a cardeo machine with the mental of steel .
I've noticed that some people call Islam "Khabib 2.0", but I think if you put them on their peak in front of each other, Khabib would absolutely dominate Islam, no offense to Makhachev.
Islam is more technical, but K habib is the ruthless, merciless, brutal one. So yeah Khabib is the better fighter. And don't forget K habib doesn't get tired
He make u tired.... and.... kill! 💀💀😂😂😂this make a huge of sense after the video in the aka where all the dagestani die becouse the training with khabib 😂😂😂
Respect to the hoods in America for breeding some of the baddest men on the planet but even more respect to these Dagestani’s for showing the world that you don’t need to be hood to know how to get down with a mf 💯💯🦍
@@historian3290 Obviously it’s a big difference but the conditions under which the ape lives is relatively similar so much so that it produces tougher apes. Ape in environment A with access to resources vs Ape in environment B with shortage of resources and no access…. both come from the same type of environment. It’s more similar than you think, buddy boi…
in other words Islam could be as dominant like khabib,but preffers to have fun,gives opponents a chance to challenge himself(getting in more dangerous situations) and khabib just goes straight to win and get out.
Ok so Khamzat already ktfo out of the undefeated middle eastern mma and sambo Dagestani world champ Ikram...So if we are talking Khabib fighting again...Khamzat would be perfect and Khabib doesn't need lose 55lbs...so lets go😁
