It is FASCINATING seeing what Khabib has become.. he was once that random russian guy with the hat who people found a bit boring.. now hes a HUGE star.. speaks english well.. taken over is dads role training the new gen.. he's a boss.. has the respect of EVERYONE (except conor) and has a perfect fighting record. What a guy
I think lowkey conor respects him too 100%.. But he won’t show any because of the ego
@@7gangstaboy never really thought of that, you’re probably right
Conor respects him 100 percent but he hates him at the same time
All you have to do now is blow the man. Unreal
@@Touchit344 it’s called respect. Not everything has to be negative my friend.
Even the way he doesn't even hesitate by calling Usman the pound for pound king. No ego at all behind Khabib, such a great ambassador for MMA.
Islam keeps winning for next 2 years he will likely eclipse khabib's achievements in LW.
Usman and Khabib are good friends
He only said that because they are different divisions. Khabib has the biggest ego in mma
@@indeedConfirmed Pound for Pound ranking is division agnostic.
@@indeedConfirmed You're an idiot. Khabib has no ego. You sound like a salty Conor fangirl.
Khabib has become comfortable with the media more than before.
He need to, hes a mma promoter now haha
He's thinking, "why this woman not locked in basement like Dagestani woman"
@@courthogan3140 I mean his sister is a teacher so at least the basement is getting educated amirite? 😅
@@S.K.K7 LOL well done making the troll look silly🤣👍
@@S.K.K7 Based
Khabib is slowly morphing into Dana White's physique like a true promoter 🤣
He’s always been a fat head
once the all his hair is gone he will have reached the final form
Bro, he just needs a 'that's f'ing illegal' clip to complete the promoter pack
lmao...
🤣🤣🤣
I don’t understand how people literally hate Khabib and Islam. They are 2 of the most chill guys who are absolute beasts in the octagon. Future champion is Islam by the end of the year.
Bc they’re either Conor fans or Islamophobic, prob both for most of these haters
because both beat all their fighter
Closet racists or casuals
Islamophobes who know nothing about Islam (the religion)
Because all they do is maul opponents 😆.
guy is a multi millionaire, pound for pound one of the greatest fighters of all time, not a single drop of jewelry or ego on the man.Respect.

This reporter is a legend. The way she gives him time to talk, understands him, doesnt react to his broken english and doesnt get dettered because he doesnt look straight at her is incredible. Big respect for her
Yeah i think her names megan or something.
Lol Megan Olivi has interviewed khabib so many times at this point it's probably just a regular thing now haha
Megan olivi, she is an og , one of the best reporters in the ufc
Megan olivi has been an amazing figure for the sport. 👏👏👏
gotta give her credit. She was perfect here
It's hard to imagine that this guy is one of the biggest icons this sport has ever seen!! Such a humble and simple human!!
A guy who bows down to Putin and Kadyrov, is funded by mass murderers in Russia, but yes he has a very humble CAMERA PERSONA, that means everything...
@@ruin3r 👏👏👏
@@ruin3r It's easy to act all tough and rebellious but if you were in his shoes, you would bow to Putin and Kadyrov as well. Plus, it's apparent that he is trying to separate himself from Kadyrov and that's why Kadyrov was talking trash about Khabib recently.
@@ruin3r Lol is this a bait or are you really that stupid? Why do you expect Khabib to solve all of the problems and miseries of the earth?
khabib still tryna make legacy, he aint got time for no petty wars.
Admit it we all miss him inside the octagon.
lucky guy.. escaped before Kevin Lee exposed the holes in his game

Best part of interview is when Jav says he needs more experience coaching before his nerves will settle, and Khabib humbly agreed that he lacks experience. He will be the best coach one day.
yes... agreed 100%...he will.. future GOAT COACH
Before calling it , even Megan was star struck lol Khabib , always will be a legend !!
3:11, "Yeaaaaa....." Never heard Megan Olivi used that kind of intonation when interviewing other fighters. She really got chemistry with Khabib
Khabib & Megan the best duo ever looool.
Khabib : coca cola wit ice and some steaks wit boogerz, I'm very hungry Megan : so am I Khabib : T H A N K Y O U this interview will live in my head rent free for the rest of my life
@@magiklam2991 Megan: Are you HOT? Khabib: H U H?
So grateful to have been alive to witness Khabib’s run, from Micheal Johnson through Gaethje. As a big Gaethje fan, I love that Khabib shows him so much respect.
Must have a pretty dull life then tbh
@@calumafc2702 he is literally watching combat sports for entertainment how could it be boring?

Same... Very well said.
Justin is a killer. If Charles can't finish him on the ground. Gaethje will smash him. 100% agree with Khabib. Irinically Islam is so sure that Charles will win😁
One of the greatest minds in the sport. A winner in every respect.
And as cocky as they come 🤣🤣
@@indeedConfirmed I hope you say the same about conor.
@@indeedConfirmed ignore this troll.
True .Megan is awesome
He talks like he thinks he is the voice of wisdom , you can only be so wise and be a Muslim
What a humble legend. Speaks so well. Great to see him promoting the next generation
His third language too!

Khabib really wasn’t kidding about that “boorger double cheese” thing
🤣🤣🤣

I feel like Khabib is so comfortable with Megan😂 Their interviews are so good
the Dustin Poirier post fight interview was still the funniest of all time lol
Khabib dont dare mess with Megan, her hubby is a professional fighter

@THERE WAS NO CHECK!!! dagestani girls are more beautiful than american girls and you can check it.....
To be honest,I agree with Khabib too. I want Islam Vs Oliveira because it's always interesting to see high level grappler fight like Tsarukyan Vs Islam
Islam might eat him up in the grappling. He would have to be on the offensive immediately on the ground otherwise once you're defending against Islam its so tough to get out. You saw it with Bobby he would go from one defensive move to another and Islam was always a step ahead
Tsyrukyan is a g but islam is the new contender I’m sure they already fought
I thought before that Islam will have trouble with Charles on the ground, but when I saw he could not finish Chandler after taking his back and Chandler even reversed it. I am so confident that if it goes to the ground, Islam will finish him easily. Charles chance is in he stand up.
Yeah . But the only thing that always bugs me about Oliveira is his vision. If we are to believe what he himself said, it is that he sees three opponents in the octagon. So i do believe that is the reason he gets hit alot. I believe , fight vs Islam is 50 / 50. I don't believe Islam will submit Oliveira. If Islam wins , I see it happening with a KO or TKO
Arman vs islam was a grappling match at its finest loved it.
khabib is a super star, even better human being. love him.
U think so ?
@@indeedConfirmed man khabib has 33 million fan following more than UFC itself. So he is definitely a super star. And he do a lot of charity but I have never seen him tweeting about it. I heard them on news. So he is a good human being.
@Bill Stevens envy
This is random but somehow I remember when Megan ask Khabib, "Are you hot?" 😂
Huh? 🤣🤣🤣
This is not random Bro. Non-casuals think alike.
thank u?😁
Flashback!

I want Khabib and Megan interview for at least one hour lol
it's illegal in Dagestan to talk to a woman for one hour unless the woman is shackled to a tree or under supervision of herding dogs
@@courthogan3140 you good? Maybe you should consider going out of your mom's basement
@@courthogan3140 take your meds and go to sleep sir...you sound like someone with a iq of a tomato

"Khabib, are you hot?" Khabib : "oh, not again"
I do believe in years we will look back at khabib with fond memories, I am from Ireland 🇮🇪 and i love how he presents himself, he is a true champion 🏆
Just seeing khabib around the corner makes everyone happy! Love this man! No wonder Dana almost cried when khabib retired.
True , he's such a fresh air , always waiting for his speech and talks I don't care if he's still fighting or no
Khabib went from 155 king to 255 pound promoter
This is father's plan
He needs to work on his guns to match Dana as a promoter
@Cold World he has been fighting longer than anyone out there.. wdym? Lmao keep hating 😴
I guess being fat is by product of promotion biz lol
@Cold World delusional hater
Megan Olivi is so good at her job, i've never seen Khabib more comfortable with any female interviewer.
@@hajratahir3119 where can i find it? Any link?
If someone who doesn’t have any idea about MMA watch this he can never guess that this man is the best in the world in it.. whata cool character Khabib is
love that khabib gave bobby his props
Money cant buy u class Khabib was a champ and class before he became champion his dad made him that way real class a real hero
Hes so charismatic.
Megan loves interviewing Khabib.
This guy man this guy , always exciting to see him
Always enjoy to watch when Islam takes his opponents over to his corner where Khabib keeps instructing him :-) Islam deserves the next title shot 1000%.

Megan is in love with Khabib presence
So polite and respectful he does not even look at her.. What an inspiration for all people.
Man Khabib has improved his English a lot....! The hardwork and dedication in every aspect!
He’s beginning his transformation into Abdulmanap
Khabib is the man. His English is flawless now
“Im so hungry” “So am I” “Thank you”
Big respect to this reporter, she asks and waits for him to finish his answers. And big respect to brother khabib the best example for the youth…
Seeing Khabib and Megan together I can’t help but think of “I’m very hungry” “so am I” “thank you”
The best reporter in MMA period.
Khabib is still the most likable person in mma.
This dude really coming back as a heavyweight lmao.
I think it’s fair to say Megan misses these Khabib moments. Love it.
Yep, im sure being leered at by sexually-repressed cave-dwellers is top of her professional ambitions.

@@courthogan3140 Bro you have problems. I am sure if you ask Megan about Khabib as a person and ask her honest answer he would tell you he is a very bright and wise and a good human being. And she would tell you he is a good roll model for men. An example for how to behave as a man.
The respect and body language of this guy towards females, is absolutely amazing. Respect!
Islam teaches man to lower their gaze & dress modestly (from navel to knee) and also women to lower their gaze and dress modestly (hair covered and the body’s shape covered)
This is what your western medias dont show about islam
I always believe that megan has crush on khabib.. she looks like high school teenager interviewing her idol, and she looks more exited doing this with khabib rather than with islam where it should be islam’s night 😂😂🤣
They've always had good rapport, that's all.
They've known each other for almost ten years now....Khabib is not shy about speaking and is an excellent interview these days...also Khabib gets a lot of clicks...Islam needs to as someone on here said turn up the volume lol
When khabib said 'fighters, champions, elite', he missed out internet warriors
Khabib is such a great champion and is raising up great fighters. So respectful.❤️
Very respectful man. Probably has his wife shackled to a donkey in a ploughing field as we speak. The respect is beautiful to behold.

exactly
Really good interview ! 👍🏽 She's good at listening and not just moving on to the next question but actually providing feedback to khabib , most of them are in such a rush to ask the next question the never comment on the answers
She's awesome and invested not just collecting a check
She's Megan Olivi
Who rushes?
She is in love with Khabib 😂
@@ngajakdolan3151 Are You hot?
Khabib is the kinda guy who transcends all walks of life. Retiring at the top of his game, not wavering about returning, yet still firmly in the forefront of his Sport by Coaching his fellow countrymen to be just as dominant as himself, and in such a short amount of time to be considered the #1 contender almost unanimously is nothing short of amazing. Even more amazing, Khabib is a proud follower of Islam, which is more less fundamentally opposed to Christianity which would normally rub me the wrong way...yet again, His humble way of carrying himself and the softness of his voice when being interviewed also verifies his absolute confidence in himself and his team members should be held in the highest regards to anyone who enjoys the sport of mixed martial arts. Just goes to show, Judge a man by his actions, not his race, creed or religion. And there are very few indeed who's deeds match his words, and I feel blessed to have watched this Class act of a man throughout his entire career and beyond. What a guy. Wish more people cared about the legacy they leave behind for the young folks to admire and aspire to emulate themselves. Our world is a better place once Khabib stepped out of the shadows and into the bright lights of the Octagon, where he conquered all who opposed him then humbly stepped aside to assist the next generation of fighters who will always strike fear in the hearts of lesser men. 🐐Khabib is the Goat of GOATS!👍😉
Well said
why should islam/muslim by default rub you the wrong way? Technically speaking, every single religion is fundamentally (i.e in terms of doctrine) opposed to every other religion, so it shouldnt just be islam according to that reasoning that rubs you negatively... that being said, the only religion that christianity has the most in common with is actually islam (not judiasm) where Jesus is accepted as one of the prophets/messengers of God born of virgin mary (albeit not god or son of god, nor a sacrifice) whereas judaism/jevvs have terrible things to say about Jesus&Mary... among other things... dont worry, not going to start a lecture/explain coz people arent generally interested in learning. You can easily research and learn in 10-15 mins about the basic fundamentals & differences between the 3 abrahamic faiths
He almost said doesnt matter who is apponent goal is too smash, but caught himself
😂😂😂
Ha ha ha! Love how Khabib has grown even more respectful in his choice of words after his retirement. Keeps it super professional.
The goat 🐐
He answered the last question with aplomb while being respectful to both Oliveira & Gaethje.
I think Khabib after his career may be one of the best things for the sport.
Khabib is a humble human being, but very realistic when giving his point of view in regard of possible results.
@Silversurfer keep crying for mctapper he Will wont come back kid grow up 😂
A true Legend Khabib The Eagle 🐐
I swear to you the person reading this that till this day I don’t know how anyone in person or internet can hate khabib
I agree. But stubborn conor fans are a different breed 😅
Conor fans hate him and those that don’t agree with his religious beliefs. I don’t think anyone hates him as a person…he’s respectful and humble!
Love this guy.
Khabib the Real G.O.A.T. ...Not arguable!
She love khabib 😂
Love their chemistry as an interviewer and interviewee
I love this duo man , whenever Megan interview khabib it's always entertaining.
This is y he was so good he understands the game so well. Man enough to admit he's nervous and anything can happen in a fight. Simple stuff but also very important to understand and being humble makes u strong. 💪
I honestly love seeing khabib getting puffy and thicc boi mode. He deserves to be happy and live a great life after all the hard work he's put in. And it's awesome to see him training the new gens. I can't wait to see Islam get that title wrapped around him. I wanna see him fight some top level guys. Bobby Green is great but like the legend just said, there's levels to this.
My champion khabib, the best period 💯
KHABIB 🦅 🦅 🦅 THE BIGGEST MMA STAR IN ALL HISTORY OF MMA SPORT
I get sad every time I here him saying he's never fighting again.
You shouldn't. You should be happy for him.
For real
@@theeternalnow6506 for sure happy for him. Selfishly I want to see him fight.

Khabib, Wow what a gold human being. He is the kind of man you want the next generation to watch him. He is a great human being a good role model. More so a time from the old school days you just don't see people behave like this in the limelight anymore which is why the generations coming up are more and more confused. What a guy!
Megan's interviews are always great to watch.
Khabib looks about 205 here. Could be coming for Glover's crown

Listening to Khabib does something to me like no other fighter, there's something special about you man! And now that you're retired it's even more special!
So humble. One of the greats in MMA and a true role model. This is how you conduct yourself.
I remember back in the days someone posted a video of him fighting a bear in a cry of animal cruelty, well thank you whoever it did it just put the guy on the radar I could not get enough of him ever since.
Khabib English has gotten so good. Wish the UFC would have him calling fights cage side
Habib retired so Islam can become champion.much respect.Islam the uncrowned UFC champ and soon he is gonna be the champion.
There were many factors that he had to retire a bit early. If his great father was still alive, Khabib would've fought one more fight before passing on the torch to Islam. It's playing out how they want though.
