Khabib Nurmagomedov on what he said to Michael Johnson in the octagon. Their fight took place at Madison Square Garden on November 12, 2016. This is before Khabib fought for the UFC lightweight championship title.
Conor made me a Khabib fan. Use to be the biggest Conor fan but he lost all my respect by talking about Mr Nurmagamodov, saying “Covid good, father evil” that’s just way to far. I innerstand selling a fight by trash talking but cmon Conor already had his name, he didn’t have to disrespect Khabib’s character or his country or his father.
Agreed. If you put up with that kind of BS you are condoning it. I felt bad for Khabib when he lost his shit after smashing Connor. He was taken there by a weasel. Connor claimed in his trash talk to be a lion to Khabib's rat? Reverse that. Connor's a douche and an embarrassment to Ireland. He'll realise that one day and will finally eat that huge slice of humble pie he's been too full to eat 😉
Yeah but why keep taking that beating in the name of pride.. u lost and only going to get more fuxked up.. if it was in the streets khabib would have killed him immediately..
This guy's attitude is so great. Just like any fighter, you learn about them as they progress in the ufc. And as khabib progressed his English got better, his overall personality got better. He has a dry, witty comedic personality. But at the end of the day, he always says in his own way, it's all business! He trains hard everyday of his life, and he deserves all of the accolades he receives. my favorite fighter is khabib. After Chael sonnen of course. Lol.
He's not saying it to be funny he's actually trying to be serious so the guy doesn't take more damage! And he wouldn't quit he punched him back so he respected him even more! Nothing funny here
How sad and insulting that’d be if you are fighting against Khabib. “Hey, I don’t want to smash your face. I already beat you.” Lol. That’s like fighting a Buddha-lion: so holy and savage simultaneously.
To those who don't Know Michael Johnson was ranked 6 in LW when he fought Khabib. Khabib was Ranked 1. People might say he beat Washed up Johnson. Loool. He's Ranked 6, 5-2 on his last 7 and he just KO'd Poirier before this fight.
If im not mistaken he was supposed to fight Alvares for the title he's ranked 1 like you said. UFC send the contract but then they gave it to Conor. Thats why he was so mad to Dana in between rounds and the reason to what he said during the post fight interview
I hate him so RDA Conor ghaetje poirier his only elite opponents 4 freaking guys who are the other 25 3-6 fighters literally and Micheal Johnson give me a break
Cope. Barboza was Ranked 4 when he fought Khabib. Pat Healy is the first ranked opponent Khabib has fought and was Ranked 9. RDA was Ranked 4 and Johnson is Ranked 6. So stfu. If he beat bums and nobodies but did the same to elites what's the problem???? You think UFC would give you a top 5 opponent on your debut? You think UFC is gonna give you top 15 opponent when ur 0-0?? No. You have to work your way up by fighting nobodies since ur a nobody too. He might fought bums and tomato cans but the fights aren't rigged. Silva got choked out by a nobody back then and Masvidal got choked out by a gasoline store employee. Even Volk got flatlined by a no name guy.
Conor , Justin , Dustin , Johnston he fights all strikers with poor wrestling… when was the last time you ever see him fight someone with great wrestling ? never … that’s why he didn’t move up in weight because the good wrestlers are there and his striking we be exposed FACTS
