“This leg…undefeated undisputed” 😂😂😂
This is a great interview because you got Islam to open up a lot more than other interviewers. You guys have great chemistry.
That's what happens when you've been friends for years lol.
I agree DC knows how to talk to them and they feel comfortable with him
Not to be a dick but they been Bros for years so the chemistry has already been established
Trained together at dcs gym with khabib they are all great friends if he calls you brother you and a close friend
Somebody like chocolate fedors butt much.
Man it always cracks me up whenever Khabib comes on and shakes hand with DC he immediately starts to wrestle him lol So wholesome
i know right 😂 i feel like khabib does this to all his good buddy’s 😂.
he immediately goes for wrist control 😂😂
This was not even an interview and I TOTALLY loved it... It's LITERALLY like trying to do an interview with your boys and you just end up fuckin around lol
😂😂😂
Lmao 🤣 “maybe somebody’s lying” 😂
@@user-kq8dg9op7f pnp
Agree
So, Islam's left leg is chael sonnen. Undefeated, undisputed.
From this day on I will only refer to Uncle Chael as Islam's left leg
@@StreetBuddhist LOL

Solid comment
Hahahahahhahaha😂😂😂😂
Khabib entering just to start a fight with DC is legendary 😂
When Khabib arrived I couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear, the man is just delightful 😂
At 17:27 hes staring at dc like my dad looked at me when i was a kid i left a chocolate bar on his back seats in summer
When he said "calm down ehhh" xD
Islams facial expression as soon as someone makes a remark about Dagestan is priceless, what a patriot he truly values his community above everything else.
Yoooooo I was dying at that!!! He was ready to fight a long time friend over that slight time his country😂😂 these are real men and real men values!
Not patriotism is fanatic nationalism .
I never thought about Dagistan and I now I have a huge will to visit it. They really promote the country

Same as soon as I reacted my family started looking at me - maybe they were thinking what's wrong with him.🤭
He almost died there 😂😂😂 I spit my drink dc keep making interviews like this 💯
lmaooooo!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣
That was so fucking funny!
Me too!!! Shit he's funny and he doesn't even know it
6:18
I love how they got involved in a chaotic argument at the end. Really natural interview, no script
Man that chemistry between DC and Khabib, Islam is something! I couldn’t hold myself of smiling the whole time of the interview! DC brother keep doing what you doing!
respect recognices respect
Khabib has shown total respect throughout when the conversation was about him... Raiding the interview late even if it was all love with DC was not showing respect to Islam... He has so many roles now and should have showed respect by keeping some distance... Islam might be planning horse rides sooner than later... The Hang Man might have his number.... 🙄🏀🥈🥉
@@KnuxDeluxe Islam is going to hang the hangman
@@KnuxDeluxe there is a hierarchy there
Could not agree more!
Love that Khabib makes an appearance and gives his public support in the interview to help support his degestani brother.
@@uzi9625 this one time, I seen the tooth fairy. Crazy stuff!
@@uzi9625 This is numba1 bullshit!!
@@uzi9625 lol you keep saying christian prince is arab to misguide stupid people to think that it somehow gives him authority . Christian princes has a tactic by ínviting'' people to his chanel and obviously selecting and not letting them speak ad he also uses vulgar language.On the other hand when confrionted by knowledgeable muslims he tends to not debate them . All his foul language doesnt concern many christians because they believe somebody died for their sins(which is immoral in of itself) so they dont care about an individual who swears and even using sexual remarks against innocent muslim women
Khabib being a happy child saying - " Dagestani handcuff" at 15:49
that almost killed me xD
that moment >> 1:54 that leg, undefeated, undisputed brozher. just got me laughing all the time and keep smilling as this interview goes😂
I envy DC's relationship with Khabib, Islam, and the Dagestani wrestlers. It seems like such a loving and competitive community. Nothing but brotherhood!
this is so much better than watching him do normal media he's so much more out there and open with how he speaks to daniel rather than random media folks he HAS to talk to and doesn't enjoy
Yeah he’s really quiet and like shy with media but then he fights and it’s like oh he’s a killer
Islam is an introvert. I hope fans can understand that.
And those same questions again and again
Good show.
"Dagestani handcuff"....Khabib is always a joy to watch.🤣🤣🤣🤣DC, you are the man with this interview.
Dc : "You've gotten strong actually!" ....This is a good saying for those who doubt the strength of Habib.... Look at him, he really looks strong
khabib looking like real mountain bear. he can smesh all LHW now
Khabibs normal walking weight is around 190lbs maybe 200lbs. He really is a huge dude for lightweight. Early in his career he always had really bad weight cuts because he would cut so much water weight. That’s why he was always in the hospital. After I think the ufc 200 fight where he was suppose to fight tony but it got canceled because he went to the hospital and tony ran with the whole khabib didn’t make it because he was eating tiramisu is when he started keeping his weight in the 170 range so it wasn’t so brutal on him. But khabib is a big boy. He looks huge now compared to his fighting physique.
Colby is not weight bully
@@TaeLS430 he wasnt ever cutting that much. He was bigger at the end of his career. He cut incorrectly. That's different. Look at Tibau. He was actually 190-200. He would use an IV to rehydrate, which is how he was able to cut so much. When you see the two next to each other, you can tell there is a huge difference.
@@talhaejax8589 Colby cuts the same as everyone else. He just projects what he wants you to believe about everyone else. Everyone else is on PEDs. Everyone else cuts 50 lbs. Dude is a chronic liar.
I love how Khabib turns into a little kid around DC
"You're kinda strong actually." 😅 I freaking love Islam, Khabib, and DC. Thanks for the upload champ, all the respect in the world ~
that was so funny, DC realizing he slackin' as hell XD
Stretch out smile on my face when DC, Khabib and Islam playing around together. Great brotherhood. ✊🏽
I really like this interview cause DC has a great way to do the “big brother teasing” thing and it makes Islam open up way more… Khabib showing up just made it 👌 DC and Khabib giving Islam that “rub” he needs to start shining like the star he has been trained to become 🤷🏻♂️
Hope this video shows who Islam really is. He’s not like this with the media because he isn’t as comfortable with them. But when he’s with friends and family. It shows the true him. Love the videos DC! EDIT: Back after islam got that easy win. Let’s gooo!!!
Hes ovb shy no harm in that great fighter tho
It's so weird seeing him in the other interviews, anyone who's been following his antics knows he's a joker at heart! I feel like him being so reserved elsewhere is from pressure with knowing how important media is.
@@ronan8834 yeah that’s what I’m saying lol
@@Ohmz27 yeah exactly. He’s always joking around and messing around in coach Javier’s videos.

Cuz DC reminds him of that bear he wrestled as a child 😂😂

Look into Islam’s eyes as this video ends. This is the most pure sight of integrity, respect, and commitment that I’ve ever seen. Future joe rogan special about the way some of these guys are, who have been thru the worst but came to be the best. And understood religions, it’s not about religion, politics, or anything social. and how it all brings small sects close but understanding, truly understanding just makes us all realize we’re all lost in our way.
I couldn’t stop laughing after Khabib came on! He’s such a gem, man! DC and Khabib are really special together… and it’s genuine.
so damn funny with the "dagestani handcuff" shit lol then dc's like, "you kinda strong, actually!"

Great job DC you really show Islam’s personality in this interview because he trusts you & he is comfortable!
True. He is muslim. Allah hu akhbar. Its because of muslims we live in advanced technology. They stopped Hitler and won the world war for us. We (muslims) also created humans in the beginning of times. Without muslims, this world would be ruled by Satan. Islam has only created peace on this world. Muslims also created the internet, phones, tv, cars, space rockets. In fact it was muslims who went to the moon first, in the middle ages, thats why the symbol of Islam is a moon often. But USA have covered this up, but if you are a muslim you know this. Muslims cannot lose, muslims win all the fights! We are chosen by God, thats why we never lose. Muslim power, allah hu akhbar!

Mcgreggor, Dustin, Justin and Chandler get all the opportunities. They win and loose yet they always get title shots. The UFC needs to give Islam a title fight and I believe he is the next champion. Profits aside Dana needs to respect the sport.
U r wish come true 😅
DC to Khabib: "You're kinda strong actually." Low-key shade.
It’s because their different weight classes and for khabib weight he is stronger than others. DC jokes about that all the time
@@hamzamalik9705 u right 😂😂
this exclusive khabib and islam content got me smiling like that
My face actually hurts from watching the final 3 minutes of this interview. Go on to greatness, Islam.
and now he’s the lightweight champion and beat the pfp no 1 bro
and now he's the #1 P4P
I love how DC and Khabib tease each other...theres a love inside the jokes
The DC-Dagestan alliance is the funniest part of all of MMA
😂😂
Islam personality really came out in this video. And shows how competitive he is when talking about Jordan burroughs. Good interview Dc
He trains with Kadimagomedov who took silver at the Tokyo olympics only losing to Sidakov who beat JB twice in a row. So he knows exactly where he is compared to Olympic level wrestlers
@@DoubleDwarf I was gonna say that. Kadimagomedov, Islam and Khabib all trained together under Abdulmanap. Kadimagomedov world class wrestler. Indeed Islam know what he is talking about. Im not gonna say he will win JB. But it wont be as shameful like Ben Askren.
@@user-wp7kg6qw1g as he said himself, he can only win with a cage or a wall, not in a circle in the olympics
Shows that he crazy talkin bout Burroughs like that😂
@@user-wp7kg6qw1g ain’t no way in hell he beating Burroughs in a freestyle match lol. Burroughs is a 6x world champ and the greatest wrestler of all time. He’s not done yet and yes, his double is his main move but literally no one can stop it except like 3 people who’ve beaten him(not off criteria)
wow, this interview was amazing. Loved every single second of it.
These interviews with you guys are so wholesome and genuine friendships between them, it's nice to see. All the best islam!
Last words khabib said really showed what he is all about “ DC please promote him “. Sooo loyal
reminds me of his last words in the octagon "DC , I Love you brother"
I love Islam and Khabib. Both humble, honorable, respectful gentlemen. Love from Peru 🇵🇪

16:13 😂 Look at how disgusted Makhachev's face looks at DCs suggestion that people beat Dagestani's in wrestling. It's like it's an insult to say that to them haha I love how passionate they are about sport. DC knows that and uses it to wind them up lol
He clinches the arm rests on the chair. “SMASH?!?!?!?”
Bruh that shit is funnyy
Well, they have the right to do that. Dagestan only, let alone whole Russia, has better wresling pedigree than the entire USA. DC also knows that, that's why tried to blabber about that.
He was offended by that🤣🤣

I respect ur position bro ,don’t take offensive way but i think Conor can never have this type of friendship wiz anybody either their friends would be scared or fake respecting him for money and I think it’s quite obvious if u look at his personality👍
@@johncooper8406 The difference between conor and these guys is their religious background and how it affects their decisions. They’re muslim so they tend to hold honor and respect very highly, so they don’t do all the trash talk unless they’re provoked. I don’t think conor is religious because he isn’t christian based on interviews and i know he’s not anything else. This fact impacts his decision because he doesn’t see a problem with trash talking or disrespect because to him it’s all a promoting game. It’s pretty obvious when you watch his interviews, he plays it up so much and that why so many people like him. He’s entertaining. One is fighting for legacy, and the other already cemented their legacy so now they’ve completely leaned into the entertainment aspect of the ufc. Sorry this is long but i think it’s cool to think about why they make their decisions. Btw im a huge conor fan and i really like khabib and islam.
@@BlakeLovesPoland as muslim, thanks brother❤️
@@ali-mk4of Shalom brother
Are u also a fan of his complete and utter disrespect and insults he spews to this day? İ don't get why some people like him . He said horrible things about khabib and his family and his religion and countinues to attack all the mountain men!
Man i cant explain how happy i am when i see khabib and u together, we can see how much u love each others, cant wait to see ur next stuff incoming !
This is hilarious. Love it. Khabib : he have to call out dana white. Islam : alright am going to call him. So simple.
Class chemistry between DC and the dagestan fighters at AKA. Great to see they have a great fighter to look upto in him and Khabib
Just brilliant. What a combination these guys are
Lol "I can beat Jordan Burroughs" love the confidence man! And hey DC, David Taylor on his way too.
The hugs that Khabib gaves, is just his special way tot say "I love you brother "💪
We need more Khabib and DC!
I’m high as shit and this was uncomprehencebly enjoyable to watch for some reason. There’s an aura of greatness around the Dagestani warriors
they started arguing about their last wrestling match before DC even introduced Islam
No matter what you’re feeling, when you see these guys you have to smile.
Same, I was just smiling. This team is the best
It's so genuine.
Yes true
U smeshed it wid ur comment
Oh thank you!! 😂😂😂
I love how they just got into a random chaotic argument in the end. Fucking wholesome as sshit
My favourite quote by Islam. Islam: This leg undisputed, undefeated in wrestling match.. Islam : Round No.4 and 5, He almost die. Islam : He have 5-6 lose streak.. 😆😆😆
I laughed so hard also
So cool to see that 3 of the most serious badasses on the planet take themselves as serious as the 3 stooges. These guys could do PPV videos on drywall repair, going to the laundromat or how to cook a turkey, and you know they'd be hilarious!
Beautiful friendship between cultures and nations. Positive vibes to the roof. This is how it should be, Conor...

The way DC says Islam at 2:37 is the greatest! Sounds like a classic TV couple. DC is such a great interviewer
Man I love watching the time that you spend with these guys..its so wholesome, and real.
I love these guys and the camaraderie they have. You can tell since DC has been with them since they came to AKA there is a bond between them that can't be broken. It's been there for Khabib and Islam but to see DC in this light is amazing. He knows how to get them to open up to a western crowd that they wouldn't be with usually and you can tell how comfortable they are around him. I love when cultures can mix and understand each other and even if there's differences in certain beliefs, they respect each other and it's all love. The world could learn a lot about respect from the fighting sports..
Best interview ever the fact that khabib walked in was hilarious 😂 keep up the hard work DC
Spoiler alert 🤣
Love this! DC interviews are absolutely unmatched. He's an ex-fighter, ex-wrestler, previous world champ, all-around good dude and funny as hell. All this means he brings a little bit of something from each part of his life to these interviews. Plus he's trained and talked to so many different fighters around the globe that he often already has rapport with the people he's interviewing. Can't wait to see more.
You forgot he’s a coach as well
This interview was amazing DC!!!
Amazing interview. Loved every minute
"I think media is bigger than your podcast" haha, I love when these guys are together.
It is very impressive how well Islam speaks English now. I've always been a fan of this athlete. I think he'll finish the game Dan Hooker withing three rounds.

I'm excited to think about Islam fighting Justin. At one point I liked Justin but he has gotten to where he run's his mouth a lot and act's cocky. Ever since he beat Tony he hadn't shut up. The winner of Chandler v Gathjie should fight the winner of this fight. Islam to me is already the next guy especially if he beat's Hooker.
U Zi if you wasn’t so ignorant you would search for the truth. The true miracle holy Quran.
I'm a Christian but what I have an issue with is, trying to tell othet's how to worship. Think about Muslims, Hinduism, Buddhism etc. They have been worshiping their religion's for before the dawn of time. So an American is going to tell them different, why would they trust us? We haven't given them any reason to trust anything we say. That being said I have no quarry with those people. I don't want to invade their Country. Leave them a lone! That argument is what get's war's started. It's always been this way you cannot change that.
