Never-Before-Seen Crazy Khabib's Early Career Fights and Amateur Loss 

Just like a bear. They will use brute force to take away your chance and react to anything you throw at it, with insane body torque. No wonder he's insane... should've been nicknamed the bear and not eagle

# Khabib the Eagle Nurmagomedov The goat the p4p most dominant fighter *who never bled in the sport of blood* 29-0 HoF still winning as a coach

Everyone knew what he was going to do, and still no one could stop him

7:38 is insane

Khabib is a darksoul boss is confirmed

Это легкий вес. бойцы (мужчины) начинаются с 90кг и выше.

he literally has been defeated before

Every opponent*. Without s. Doesn't it sound wrong with the s to you? I'm not native English speaker, but it literaly sounds wrong [waiting to get embarrassed "s is correct"].

NO HE IS NOT THE GOAT.....HE IS SECOND .. THE GOAT IS....FEDOR EMILIANENKO... PERIOD

@@miraristic5322 there is no undisputed GOAT u bum

There is no only one goat, specialy in this sport. I would put a goat i b ever, weight class. How can HW move like LW, The Strenght of a punch of a guy that wheights 100kg compared to the one with 70kg is just by logic alot stronger. Just by watching them fight nothing is the same. Some people love to watch one hit knockauts with high dmg output, some to watch longer, faster, bloody fights. Pound for Pound doesnt change anything, HW would demolish Lw as soon as he would catch him cuz thats the only problem he can have. Fedor is the goat of HW no cap. Jones for LHW...But for the Lw u have alot of guys that will put Gsp. And Khabibs shorter Carreer for me cannot put him as the goat and im Khabibs Fan.

@sportvibes4121 Khabib is thevmost dominant fighter ever so he is a GOAT and i am a Khabib fan

The best vids of khabib are him talking about Connor all PTSD

He showed great respect to learn English so we all could understand him. 👍

He knows his native, Russian, Turkish, English andbI believe some Arabic.

@@hmza._. Turkish and Arabic are as close to each other as French and German.

​@@-Muhammad_Ali-you mean the language ?? Nahhh..

Khabib. Intelligent, Obviously. GSP, too, decided when it was time... Two Very Respectful, Men, who Can Fight, Best.

I think maybe after prime. I think his last few fights were pinnacle. Body can only take so much.

I think he respects his father mostly cause he trained him , he is a badass trainer.

​@@Bob-lw2ktDamn GSP too retired at 32 and ofcourse GSP has taken lot of damage but nothing compared to most fighters taking

@@conjj17who could easily has gone 5 more years, he never took a lot of damaged

dude the guys in ufc are nearly 400( in all categories together ) people they literally fight 1-3 people and became champions ........ while in boxing u need to fight more than 200 (super-trained people ) just to be at the 1000 top ranks on you own category

Like Ali!? In what way?

@@ThePhilosopher470 except 90% of pro boxers are cans which doesn't really exist in MMA

@@lucian5389 .....exaggerate 90% sense a bit ........but yea i would say more than 50% of the pro scene boxers are cans sure still even if we count with 50% or more there are more than 20.000 active pro-boxers ( even more if u take the non-pro scene olympic competitor etc ) and in MMA not ufc (MMA

@@BeforeThisNovember he’s a perfectionist I think like Ali he’s Muslim and very dedicated to his craft. There are many similarities

His religious discipline is honorary..such hard workers

No I think he was raised as a warrior and a good human

Amazing how well rounded he is with judo and chokes, sambo

The only people who say that, have never competed in any kind of combat sport

He's had tougher fights against these "nobodies" than a lot of UFC fights. A lot of Khabib's opponents before UFC would be top 10 ranked in the UFC.

​@@PjXu98 That's a ridiculous statement. If they could, they would be. You idiots are crazy.

He getting hard time to beat those nobodies than top fighter in UFC.. They'll in combat sambo and Russia MMA is crazy talent

he is closer to divinity then most of us.

@@p.a2073 calm down

@@J.ROD_CLASSIFIED live your life like khabib and you too will be close to god.

Islam isn't the same level as Khabib.. Khabib was different level

​@@muzammilmohsin7259 First of all, it is not about that, it's about 2 authentic personalities dominating Ego personalities all over the world with believes in life not as strong as these 2. second, maybe Khabib is stronger, but both are diff fighters, Islam is so much more all round, khabib is also very skilled but also just freaking strong, so I would not know who would win but then again IT IS not about that point, it's about celebrating both of these guys their personality.

Umar and Usman will become more like Khabib. Usman is 24 and champ. Umar is next to be new champ.

They can't make a movie about him in Hollywood, a movie without women?

Yeah it's insane..I sometimes wish I could fight with him, just to see how good he is haha I'm a bit heavier and I always knew how to strike hard though so it might be disadvantage but still for this weight class he is no doubt amazing !!! Mad respect

this comment is what i am trying to find. hahaha this is what i think too when he said that

I would bet he could easily do it to 😂😂

if I'd be a UFC fighter I think I could, I would be at 170 though because I'm a bit heavier than Khabib so this wouldn't be fair. But yeah, if I had to go down to 155 then and you are right haha that guy would beat me definitely on 155. But I know how to punch hard, so if I would stay at 170 I could probably knock him out, mad respect tho for 155 lbs

lets be honest here a lot of his early oponents has negative w/l record

@@nelocast190 So what? It's not like they were rookies. Most of them were/could be champions.

@@SHAAAaaaOLiiiiN no

Khabib is nowhere close to GOAT contention. GOAT for lightweight yes, not overall. He had 3 UFC title defenses. Anderson Silva had 10, GSP 9, Demetrious 11, Jon Jones 11. Could Khabib have defended the title 10 or more times? Maybe, but we won't ever know. It's like declaring Adesanya the GOAT if he had retired in 2021 with his 3rd title defense against Vettori. At that point Adesanya was undefeated in MMA, other than one loss at a higher weight class against Jan at 205. Khabib never moved up a weight class, so if we focus on just on Adesanya's MW fights, he would have been in a similar spot record-wise to Khabib.

​​@@shoakimoto2517 and who made title defenses the only criteria for being the best?! I've recently seen a photo for the face of Habib after every ufc fight, as if he was at a jurny, not a scratch, he was the most dominant fighter ever.

that flying armbar should be in textbook of wrestling

No way he would beat all of them in a row

​@@jrobbin24 He definitely would have. He would destroy Alvarez in 30 seconds and Nate in 2 or 3 minutes.

No one's the best pfp only there weight class and even then you have weight bullies. So to me its all B.S.

that is true, that guy Shahbulat Shamhalaev was a tough one. But honestly, after Khabib beat Gaethje, who else was there to fight? Charles? Volkanowski? Khabib would have won against them both. Maybe Islam next? which would be a good fight, but Khabib would have won in my opinion too.

I don't think Khabib could have Beat Volk ​@@danielbroomhall8882

@@Ви́кторсмирнов-я4ь who’s better.. Dumbass. Khabib is EASILY the GOAT.

Lol nope

@@arsene351 who then? John Jones? Don’t make me laugh. Who is better P4P than him?

@@mordsythe jon Jones is better than khabib lmao more title fight wins (15) than khabib has wins in the UFC. Gsp, Silva, dj, Aldo and so many more fighters have better resume and defences than khabib

Not only spirit , verygood skill also . Khabib dont really rush like an idiot . He always got something in mind when he tries his things ....cant say the same about most of ufc fighters i've seen . They got their gameplan but they also got big EGO and sometimes they do stupid things that make them loose . Khabib also really got very good eyes . Sometimes he s throwing his punches like wtf nonsense but 3/4 of times it touch the target. And poeple really made fun of his striki ng skills but it still hit everybody😂😂😂. This dude a beast

Right but not only that he is skilled too he knows what to do his fight iq is immense

This is not trash talking this is true haha

back in the day UFC you would fight multiple fights in a night. same person would fight two or more times.

It's normal thing in amateur events.

Not abnormal at all, in Brazil we call it a GP (grand prize I guess) and even Charles Oliveira has done it

ppl here acting like khabib actually could fight 4 guys in a row at UFC xD keep dreaming. maybe if opponents are unranked.

I never understood how people said he was afraid to defend his title. In every fight khabib made his opponents struggle a lot.

Its actually crazy how many sambo fights he had. Tbh he is a judo black belt a master of sport in sambo with like 250 fights and he was a sambo world champion 2x and sambo national champ. Pankration champion (olympic version of MMA) north american grappling champ. M1 champion. This fucking guy has crazy longevity. To have that many fights and not been KO’d once is crazy. He only lost in sambo i think but never by KO or TKO. This dudes grappling is insane that flying armbar he pulled of was slick. He has one of the best triangles and armbars i’ve seen from a non jiu jitsu backround. To fight that many times is actually crazy. Dude even fought bears too. The lightweight GOAT IMO

@@JackSon-wh1pcexactly he made conor dustin and gaethje tap😂 the guy fought everyone except tony. Michael Johnson (prime) rafael dos anjos (prime) edson barboza (arguably prime) and this dude was getting ducked by the top fighters in that division. He toyed with iaquinta. I still dont know this dude never got caught in MMA. True freak of Nature

I guess he would have competed even more if he didn't lost his father. If I am not wrong in may be one interview both he and his father said they want to make it 33-0 or something like that. But life.

@@rihadalif yeah honestly sad what happened. I mean there would be 2 or 3 people he could still defend the belt against. Maybe tony or maybe charles oliveira. But i think it was a good time for him to leave because now we have islam makhachev carrying the torch

That's how that UFC tournament used to be. It clearly wasn't as good as the current way of doing things or they wouldn't have changed it

GSP 100% GOAT

@@danypell2517 stf* bum, GSP isn’t the topic here

He ain’t the GOAT of shit lmfao

NOT EVEN CLOSE! , statistically and objectively he isn’t the best ,take a look at his opponents , most of them are negative and unknown and he fights trash cans , and fought a few good fighters and got scared and ran off and retired , he’s a fraud he missed weight, lost to tiabu, he has a padded record and dodged nate diaz , tony ferguson , and jon jones has more title fights than this bum khabib has fights in the ufc 🤣🤣🤣 13 fights in 9 years isnt a good thing bud , khabib is a incomplete fighter also , only wrestling that’s it.his record is extremely padded. Before he got into the ufc with a record of 16-0, he has absolutely NO SIGNIFICANT WINS. He only fought cans outside the UFC, with records like 41-38, 8-4, or even 3-6. He padded his record with fast food workers,tony is Khabib's nightmare bro, he wants to engage in the ground game with Tony, since they get elbowed from the bottom, or submitted. Instead of trying to get up like all of Khabib's opponents, Tony would actually engage in Khabib's grappling. What would happen is very debatable, but it is Khabib who left it up for debate. He retired after pulling out of the Tony fight 3 TIMES. This should make it clear that Khabib doesn't want to risk his record for Tony. The only person you can compare Khabib's record to, is Israel Adesanya. Both have 2-3 title defenses, both undefeated, both demolished their opponents as they climbed up the rankings. I don't see why Khabib should be rated above Israel Adesanya. Only difference is Adesanya didn't pad his record with cans before joining the UFC.

@dannyhothand exactly

He is the only one to never bleed or bruise. Plus he’s undefeated and nobody wanted a rematch with him for good reason. His dominance is so repetitive. His striking was actually great and very effective. His defense was best ever. His fight IQ was on another level.

@@ryanb8736mcgreggor called him out on a rematch immediately after their fight. Kahbibs momma said no 😆

Yeah. Mctapper begged for his life in the cage. His career ended right there​@@Dove88

@@Dove88MacGregor didn’t do anything to deserve a rematch lmao he was thoroughly dominated from start to finish

@@omegamanGXE yeah he got his ass kicked but that’s irrelevant and it’s not the point, guys who say this guy and that guy don’t deserve it are pusssies. If mcgreggor won I bet their would’ve been a rematch.

uh tibau did. khabib was unable to take him down and a lot of people argue that tibau won. khabib even cried before the results were announced

Towards the end in UFC he got less vicious but had more finishes. Personally I think the way he fought Michael Johnson and Barbosa is more scary than any of his title fights, where he submitted the opponents.

Before he get the belt he was ferocious. After the belt he was more relax compare to what he does to tavares, mj, barboza, tibau. Except connor between dustin and justin. It justified 😅

When he came to ufc, I studied his past fights. After days of research, I picked him as my future underdog. What an amazing journey it has been.

@@NawazaahrI miss when he just wanted to pound his opponents for all rounds. He was a complete savage. Khabib walked through everything thrown at him. Calling his a savage still doesn’t explain how dominant he was. He always had full control of every opponent he’s ever had. Never been in trouble. He was always minutes ahead of his opponents. It’s like he traveled back in time and knew exactly how to play the game. His fight IQ is best over ever seen. His confidence is highest in the sport. Islam is also amazing, but he’s no Khabib.

@@chrispee5786 that is not true....khabib fought other sambo champions from other countries, fighters who were championed in another organisation and so on.

Charles? who would have beat both of them.

He starts to have more mercy on his opponents. Trying not to do much damage to them. Thats why he got all the talking during the fights telling them to tap or to surrender because he don't want to hurt them further.

It's not about boxing, his punching technique comes from street fights, punches on the bounce and immediately take down. In a Dagestan street fight nobody will jump with you in a standup, one takedown and you're dead in the parterre and that's it.

he didn't train for one Punch, he trained to be a juggernaut on a gas tank. His body also builds for grappling. He may not have that one punch power, his stamina and skill is enough to take anyone's soul in the Octagon or any street fight
