Javier is so humble man👌
Islam sending the toys to the kids was awesome I am a fan for life he has a ❤ of gold
Wow I have to respect that How awesome to be friend with the innocent kids That's how every fighter should be actually... because those children who see those fights r gonna think the opponent as a villain 😢
I grew up living next to Javier back in the 80's. I would always watch him and his buddies (from a distance) train in the garage. I would sometimes fall asleep to the sounds of them training well into the late night hours. Man, I wish I woulda had the guts to ask him if i could hang out and train with them, but I was only like 10 or 11 years old and they were beasts! Anyway, its a fun memory I have to tell those I run into that are MMA connected. Congrats on making it from a garage trainer to a world class trainer Javier!
I'm sure they would have let you if you did ask.
@@Foob2TheR I have no doubt they would have. They seem like stand up guys, but as a 10 year old they were pretty intimidating to me
Umar and Merab would be a badass fight!
Umar too busy pulling out and injecting roids 😂😂😂
Bound to happen. On way to higher greatness, Soar
@@aiyachristiani hope you find people who love you in life. The day you find it , you'll stop hating so much on other people.
I love that
#1 contender fight. Umar doesn’t deserve but no 1 will sign to fight him anyway. He’s the Khabib of 135
Always good to hear from coach Javier.
Great to hear he will be there for umars fart.
He always brings these “gay” positive vibes. What a dude.
Really!?
What's with the negativity lol I don't remember he did any shitty stuff?
Conor McTapper’s fanboys spotted still wailing in pain and negativity🤡🤣🤣
Javier Mendez is the best coach and person
Always glad to see Team Khabib and Javier. Khabib is going to Vancouver Canada soon
Yes can't wait wallahi
The GOAT coach 🙌
Eric Nicksick is up there too. Love Javier, but he's the striking coach of (mostly) Dagestani wrestlers. Remember when Trevor Wittman was talked as GOAT
Helen is such a good journalist you can easily open up to her because you know she won't misquote anything you say
This guy is about to make another champ in the UFC his third one and he always makes it look easy
Hes had quite a few I think: Cormier, Rockhold, Valazquez, Khabib, Islam. Soon Umar. Quite the track record.
Right, I was just counting the russians. Cormier is his biggest success I would say, Cane and Luke are legends. This guy´s resume is crazy@@thundercheeks1989
@@thundercheeks1989 And Usman in Bellator... I know its about UFC, but Usman Nurmagomedov will be in UFC very soon, and when Islam retire he will be next LW for the belt :)
@@krivalinija And with Usada gonne he can take even more heart medicine
Dont worry at least he isnt the reason usada is leaving huh? I mean it was coz of conor@RicardoReview
Cant wait to see umar fight for title, but i think it will take a year or two
Yea i hope Umar got both Bantam and Feather belt
@@Ahtnagarp he has to get through merab and a lot of killers first tho
Umar will get fraud checked
@@thebatman-lr1sqNot gonna be a problem
THE GREATEST MMA COACH EVER JAVIER MENDEZ
Is that only me or everyone is seeing Umar’s opponent as a stepping stone on March 2 ??? Dude the guy is on his debut against Umar but we shouldn’t definitely underestimate the up coming fight! Bekzat is pretty tough
Helen I'll say it again Your intro is soo COOL! I'm into animation and just watching your intro is like free lessons THANK YOU HUN❤
Brilliant coach and appears to be an even better human being.
Keep up the great work Helen. You both are doing wonderful job..
This man is one of the favorite coaches on the planet, or better say universe.humble great loveable adoreable.i wish him the best life ever❤❤❤
I love listening to Javier and I don’t read much but if he writes a book I will read it.
Thanks coach Jav, for this update of me favorite professional MMA team. Have an Awesome 2024 and the next, next,next………..
If it would’ve not Ramadan. Leon vs Islam would’ve been terrific for ufc 300 !
I don't understand dagestanis with ramadan. I know a lot of muslims and nobody stops working for ramadan, muslim soccer players in Europe don't stop for ramadan.
@@carmenvalmalaartaraz8260to each their own, .. different people with different level of respect,
@@carmenvalmalaartaraz8260 yeah the muslim code is that its mandatory to fast in ramadan, the ones you see going about their lives are the ones that are not practicing, im not blaming them but thats just the way it is, theyre not following the actual rules, these dagestanis are more strict tho
@@CovertPhilosopher I respect their decision but I know you can get exemptions, a profesional athlete's life is short, they can make up for all lost ramadans once their careers are over.
@@carmenvalmalaartaraz8260 yea to each his own, for some beliefs are more important, for others these worldly affairs. Like even just yesterday I found out while listening to an interview by Javier Mendez that Umar nurmagomedov, khabibs cousin, will be fighting very close to ramadan. It just that he didn't want to stay inactive.
Nice work. You are great at it.
Looking good coach!! Keep up the good work brother
every time this man speaks, it's full of brilliance.. he could easily be an amazing corporate man lol
Great interview 👍
Noblety, humble, good viber, and beast of a coach, Love Sensei Mendez
Yo Helen, love the videos but could u please add timestamps chapters?
Can't wait to c Umar...the new champion
Umar is very brutal. he’d win and retain for long time
no he will loose this time
@@manoharyadav9121Okay Pajeet 😊
Another conor lover where khabib still lives rent free. Another Russian hater @@manoharyadav9121
AKA is probably the best MMA gym in the world, and unlike its predecessor in Jackson-Wink, the culture there is that of a wholesome brotherhood of killers who are all committed to each other’s success and improvement.
Coach looks slim❤ good job coach
Umar just need to have consistent fights. Atleast 3x a year. I think fans have become frustrated with him when he got injured for the sandhagen fight
For real.. the sandhagen fight was a good opportunity for him to make an impact. Still bummed it didnt came to fruition
Glad Sandhagen was willing to offer him a fight. Was hoping someone with recognition would offer him the next fight, I didn't think Sandhagen would do it again but was hoping Figgy would.
Helen...can you interview Zhang ? Zhang won via TKO .
Thank you coach. Gracias!
Coach jav looking in tremendous shape and like 10 years younger ❤
helen is such an og, i enjoy listening to her so much more then the industry cringe plant nina.. it just sucks she doesnt get as much shine and respect as others.
Same, that nina is annoying af
Where did that Nina B come from and why was she on playboy.
Any man who has to push one down to raise another up is weak and unintelligent.
Haters gunna hate. True fight fans or people with common sense usually avoid things they dislike. I enjoy these interviews as I do Nina's. Y'all just need fight fans or something
nina is hoe... she tease too much with fighters
Thank you Helen Cheche
Best coach ❤
Coach jav looks in shape. 💪🏼
Volk looked good in the fight with Ilia. He won the first round and was even looking good in the second. He got hit, it happens. He could have been recovering for 12 months and anyone would have got slept from that punch. Ilia's boxing is the real deal. I deff wanna see a rematch but if Ilia takes it, Volk needs to either reconsider fighting or at least start working his way up again
I think ilia was holding back in the first round, volk need to rest and improve his defence, he have taken too many shots in that second round before he got koed
I dont know why ppl think volk had it. Ilia was very comfortable, he had everything under control and I would say first round was his, but even if it was for volk ilia had everything under control hes very smart and he was gonna win 100%
Volk was doing ok. Ilia was a bit tentative. Maybe working volk out. Volk does need a rest though. Being active is good but in combat sports compared to other sports, the body takes so much punishment (not just in the fight but 8 week gruelling camps).
@@Olegchertilia was not holding back he was trying to find good timing on Volk & when he did he went for the finished
@@Dieaboutitt__did you see his face after the fight lol. Round 1 Volk was in control obviously, kept Ilia to the center and tries to drain him beyond 3 rounds…but second round Ilia adapted and managed to push Volk to the cage where he couldnt slip so kudos to him for that one
Umar is super talented but he NEEDS to get more active and stay consistent. He can't keep pulling out of so many fights or being inactive
he got injured bro . what u can do bro
The harder you train - more risk to get injured you have, the softer you train - less prepared you become.
Nobody wants to fights him
@@yn1407you can NOT ask for a top 3 and work your way up while everyone Fighting you can't just skip people
coach javier looking good, looks like he has been working out and eating clean, nice!
Coach Jav looking leaner and in shape 💪
You look fit, coach!!! Looks great!!! Khabib’s teasing you worked.
we all know it was thanks to islam makhachev that the spaniard won after makhachev destroyed volks in both fights he was never the same anyone could have defeated volks
My man. Best coach ever 💪
Love Coach Javi ❤✊🏽
Respectfully he said it on his podcast on his KZhead channel that week. Go back and look
Islam is a good dude these colby fans need to stop hating so much
thanks
Great man ❤
"champ champ status is what we all strive for, legacy fight" crazy to think that nobody aspired to do that before Conor broke that ceiling. pioneer
O boi 😂
Still want the return of the 🦅
Still want head from Megan thee Stallion........ but we don't always get everything we want, yeah?
😢
Wow Javier looks Great good job Brother !
I love coach Javi ❤
Javier is an awesome coach and bloke.
Khabib needs to be there when umar becomes champ , plss it would be awesome ❤🎉
This is the first time I don’t believe the Dagastani will get the belt.
I thought Umar was going to fight march 2nd not fart!!! I’m definitely tuning in now
Coach lookin healthy. Lost weight. Good stuff. Helen lookin 🔥as per 😎
wow I didn't know that Islam sends toy to Alex's daughter. What a sweetheart.
Helen is such a dangerous mix of gorgeous and fantastic at her job - she's AMAZING
Coach Javier is getting younger
Definitely, the goat coach
Coach Bolo is looking fit
I know this is way too early to talk about and you may lean hard one way or the other but ilia vs Islam is a very interesting intriguing match up imo…..🤔 thoughts??
The life or death situation is in the clinch game in this one
Umar and Usman Nurmagomedov 2 next UFC champs (Usman is alredy Belator lw champ)
🔥
Javier Mendez looks in great shape
I have to say, extremely disappointing to see the UFC unable to get Umar a top 10 match. I mean what is the point of keep having him fight unranked fighters?
It's funny how Khabib and previously his dad used to just casually announce yeah we'll have 1 champion by September 6th and the second one 8 months and 14 days after that, by June 18th 2024 we'll have a total 4 champions and a half
Javier looks good!
Would love to see Poatan train with Khabib
I’m never excited to watch Islam fight but when khabib fight I was so hype up and ready to watch him fight
How is cain velasquez doing missed his fights bro
11:30 😂
Let Ilia fight one or two contenders before fighting Volk again. I’m done with all these rematches ! 🙄🤦🏽♂️
Mendez lookin more in shape now...get healthy.
Sugar vs umar will be fireworks ⚔️👊👀😊
Islam could move from lightweight to welterweight and Usman could come to the UFC and do really good.
Wrestle khabib 😭 please wrestle 😭. Please khabib i want to eat 😭 i haven't had enough already i want more 😭 😭😭😭😭😭. Please wrestle khabib im very very hungry 😭😭😭. Goddamn tick
The Goat
Now we know khabib wil corner omar when he fights for the title. For coach khabib wil make it happen
Javier looks worried and stressed about something. Hope everything's ok for the coach.
Javier is looking like he's lost some weight. He's been putting in that work.
Wow Joey Diaz looks great
Now volk daughter gotta worry bout islam and ilia breaking in😭😭
Did bro say for umar’s fart on accident at the beginning??😭😭😭😭
Coach looks skinnier
Coach Javier has been dieting hard. Looks a lot more leaner.
Umars fart lol 0:38
Lots of prep going into that for sure
😂😂😂😂
Lots of vegetables and dagestanis meats will be included
I heard that too lol I wondered if he was going to correct himself and laugh but he just rolled with it
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Uncle Hav is cashing in.😂
in a couple years make islam vs ilia topuria
Coach over there with khabib getting that Dubai money
Coach Jav is the biggest khabib fan 😅
Kissed khabibssss bum in the training facility
Kisses khaibbibss bum in the toilets
Kissses khabibs bum doesn’t he in the toilets
Basically most of the coaches is a big fan of Khabib... period
Jav lost a lot of weight - looking good, Coach.
Wait a moment how tall is Helen Yee? Javier Mendez was a few inches taller than me when I saw him in person lol. She's tall!!
She is sitting straight, while Javier isn’t sitting straight bro.
I’m 5’ 10”😅
@@HelenYeeSportsyour my height lol 😂
ONE OF THE BEST AND MOST HUMBLE COACH EVER FROM PAKISTANI IN OLDHAM 💖💖💖💖💖💖❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💖💖💖💕💕💕😘😘😘😘😘😘❤️❤️😍😍😍😚😚😚💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💯💯💯💯💯💯
Ilia vs Islam or Ilia vs Khamzat both will be best for business
Ilia vs khamzat ? Are you dumb ?
Islam has a better humor sense than Khabib, overall :))
Agreed
Yep
Alex should have left Islam alone fighting other lightweights and focused on his own division. Alex' team underestimated Islam's performance in their first fight; I had Islam winning 4 rounds but Alex had moments in all rounds.
Basically the biggest mistake volk makes is fighting Islam... especially the rematch... period
