This show is becoming my #1 go to MMA show! Thank you for the great quality of your questions and guests
Bro please do fan q&a with Khabib after #ufc254 please and please ask some of my question that i send you on KZhead and on instagram by zuhaib_maswood id
Pls Invite Khabib,DC, Luke, Cain and his team to AKA Thailand after Pandemic ends.
@AMALRAJ PC 100% ? How do you know this? Have access to a crystal ball or is it your time machine?
@@fckvar5599 luke in a podcast would be hilarious😂
I love how Mike didn't mentioned his father , to not make him think about it in this period ❤
Respectful
Respect
Warrior respect right there.
Swick has been a fighter and aka teammate..he knows how hard that question would be. Unlike all those stupid reporters who have never even trained in mma
True
Mike swick is such a nice person he gives so much respect to his every guest, in sha Allah khabib will win 29-0
Gotta pray tahajjud bro
@Matt Kaiser people also said that when conor and dustin were gonna face khabib. 29-0, who’s next?
@Matt Kaiser that’s what they all say
@Matt Kaiseryou are so in self delusion, even when Khabib wins, U will still say Khabib can't win
Thinking kabab is unbeatable is just so dumb every fighter will face their match unless you hand pick opponents like mayweather did or fight the opponents when their past their time.
The best thing about Khabib is that not only does he inspire people with his fighting. He also inspires people to want to be a better person. His father raised an incredible man. And he should know that his father would be so proud of him 🙏🏽
The best thing is that his father lived and left as a proud father
Word !!
I can only think of two things I didn’t like that khabib did..other than that he sounds like a very nice kind person. But he was in his 20s when he did it so everyone does stupid stuff I guess when they’re young
Absolutely! That's his charisma, his character, his goodness
I just didn’t like the time khabib was making a homeless man dance for money. That was a very mean thing to do. I was surprised when he did that. But like I said he was much younger than people make mistakes
“Climb the mountain so you can see the world, not so the world can see you.” - Khabib The Eagle 🦅
That's a great quote!
Let haters hate- he is truly a role model. So sincere and humble
💯💯🙏🏼🙏🏼
Who can hate Khabib, when you love MMA?
@@joophelm4716 good, but haters
There are haters, really? I don't think so.
@@KONAMAN100 When Khabib fought Connor, you were either on one side or the other. The American media made it pretty messy. Both guys deserve respect from MMA fans. Khabib, however, deserves respect from everyone. He lives his life in a righteous way, and like Alif said, a true role model. Doesn't put junk in his body, doesn't gamble, doesn't live in a castle with a yacht. He is a salt of the earth type of man. May God continue to bless him and his family.
Khabib is not alone he has an army behind him in us!! 29-0 INSHALLAH 🦅🦅❤
امين
@Ulta Pulta 666 sab bhadiya bro
insha'Allah
Actually he is alone in the cage, you cant get in there with him, he doesnt need anyone anyway lol
@GET BUSY LIVING or GET BUSY DYING jai shree ram, jai bhole
90% of other MMA channels would’ve clickbaited the hell out of that one minute he spoke about McGregor in the title and thumbnail. Respect ✊🏽
Khabib your brother from madinah please pray the night prayer before your fight as much as you can.
Good advise however he has to sleep much as he said. Maybe we can help him by do night prayers & ask Allah to grant him victories.
Justin - when tired he loses Khabib - Tires everybody
Haha I still remember Cruz saying “McGregor is just making him tired“😂
Not trying to hate, but if u do some research u will see that justin has never lost from gassing out and u will also see that even when he is tired he has always won and pushed through (more than any of khabibs opponents)
@@qwertyasdf8879 that’s only cause most of his fights finish early with a ko/tko. Whilst that is still impressive and he did last full 5 with Tony, it’s completely different having khabib put his wrestling pressure on you. We’ve never seen Justin survive grappling pressure in a cage so I’m certain he’ll be tired somewhat
@@qwertyasdf8879 lol what about alvarez and poirier?
@@muhammad8834 brother plz watch the fights one more time and understand the difference of beeing tired and giving up and getting punched in the correct spot at the correct time
I'm going through a real rough time with my anxiety and depression at the moment, and when Khabib said "never give up", I just started crying because each day feels like a fight. I have a dream of taking my skills to the games industry, and I've built myself from being homeless to gaining a Masters Degree with Distinction in Games Development. I'm so close to achieving my dream, and my exhaustion levels are at a peak too so i'm really slowing down. But like Khabib said, patience and hard work! Thanks for this!
I wish you the best man 🙏 be patient and stay strong and never ever give up it will get better
Stay strong man, you will see good days again 💪
Hang in there mate.
You got this bro
Hang in there buddy! You got this.
His English has got so much better in the past 2 years, even using some more advanced vocabulary now
oh i missed him already.....
It’s crazy how Khabib literally says I’m gonna have to wrestle Justin. Open book. No secrets.
From Angola, we love Khabib.
his mentality is on a different level💪
So is your face
@@underwrld453 not really. Nice but nothing extraordinary.
Yes dear❤
You are so good brother Mike! Muslim brothers love you!
Thanks for watching!
No swearing, no insults, no bullshit, is this video really from 2020, bravo guys, two real stand up guys right there ❤️
One thing that I noticed about Khabib...he smiled and relaxed when he is among friends and loved ones. Like with Mike Swift and Coach Javier and the rest of the AKA crew. Love the family and brotherhood!
His Father passed away few month ago but he accepted the fight.Cant imagine how Khabib control his emotion.Justin is a good guy too.All the best for both fighter.We dont need McTapper childish behavior. #makeMMAgreatagain
@Naza Kia “Come on, let’s talk now. LET’S TALK NOW!!!” *Conor McGregor as he is ragdolling and smashing Khabib*
I hope you interview Islam ,that guy needs some good attention
He has excellent potential...
Someone who tweets “this is not a woman’s sport 🤦♂️ “ doesn’t deserve any attention.
I agree, Mike please get Islam on for your next interview!
@@alex1210000 I agree with Islam, this is NOT a woman's sport. Women bashing each other bloody is not a sign of respect to them, or in their favour. It's just fashionable in 2020 for women to copy men and their activities, doesn't make it right because it's fashionable. I think it's more disrespectful for women to copy everything men do and think it gives them some kind of elevated status. Men and women are different, you can see it in their physiology, just because it's fashionable these to say they are the same, doesn't make it so. Women are unique as are men. They are allowed to be different and have different interests and roles in life. That's what creates a balance. Just acting like sheep and getting on the bandwagon of what's in these days is very immature. Especially just giving lipservice to "freedom of speech" but then being intolerant when people freely express their views and opinions.Islam has a perfect right to his opinion, or does is freedom of speech story only valid when the other guy thinks exactly like you,🤔
YES 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 😇
lets go Khabib..!!!!! 29-0 Singapore fans here🇸🇬
Every word from khabib is pure gold
If there's one thing that i take from Khabib here, it's that he's an exceptionally smart fighter. His fight IQ is way up there.
So true.
Inshallah we pray for his father and his legacy which is he left behind him inshallah 30-0
🙏🏼🙏🏼💯💯💪💪
Khabib's favorite word "Matuation". He used it in almost every interview...😂. I love him as a champion, i love him more as a person, humble.
Smesh
Emotional****
Catch up ,, ketchup 😜😜😜
His favorite word is "like" lmaoo
@@nicole2720 😂
Excited for khabibs match from Islamabad, Pakistan. Go great Eagle
How's the UFC streaming scene there? Free on sports channels TV like other asian countries?
@@hiphophrc It's on Ten Sports
From lahore ☝️ Pakistan
Whats the time for the main card?
@@harisqureshi6413 Yaar main card probs at 3 am in morning no?
Love your podcast Mike! Its insane how much Khabib English have improved. Inshallah 29-0!
Thanks!
Bro great interview and i appreciate the time stamp in every video you provide us.
Khabib's fight with Gaethje is like when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force. Nobody Knows what's going to happen. May the best man win.
Damnnnn
porrier kod justin with ease. he isnt unstoppable at all
@@santilanaknows5308 he changed his fighting style after Dustin fight but still Khabib gonna smesh him. Inshaa Allah
@@abdullahamin286 he still fights the same what are you on about.porrier is just a much better striker as gaethje was.gaethje beat a depleted fergusson but he will just get mauled like everyone else who faced khabib.
@@santilanaknows5308 you are casual bro if you think Dustin koed gaethje "with ease" Dustins lead leg was literally cooked, he could barely stand on it and got almost koed himself previous round.
When khabib says "hey" you litsen.
Khabib: I no like snakes. *Dillashaw has entered the chat*
No place for a *snake* in thr convo of bears and eagles and lions
What about the glass jaw ratt??
@@ujsimrananees that’s was a good one 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was dying with laughter!!!
You know Khabib ready, dude said he’ll even fight Michael Jordan!! 🤩
When Khabib says "this is my opinion" i heard FACTS
Was Waiting for this podcast so eagerly that every hour feels like freakin day and as usual fantastic work from Mike 👍
Awesome!
True!!!
Khabib, monster in cage, peaceful guy outside
Khabib so great
What I love about mike’s podcast is the quality of questions that he asks. Great show.
Thanks! We had tons of great questions from our subscribers as well!
i cant understand the heart and mind of this people.. he is so calm!! 5 days till the fight and i feel like my heart will explode of excitment already..(and im just a huge fan)
Good podcast
Thanks!
Khabib is the king of the jungle
The glow in your eyes, never seen you like this before Mike haha star struck even though he's your friend. Khabib, living legend, the animation film yesterday 😥 what a human being!!! And still...........
you caught it too? he also asked khabib a question and khabib answered.and he turned around and asked him the same thing he answered!! funny!!!
I love how khabib is coming onto these smaller platforms! Really broadens our views! Loved it.
Thanks for watching!
His answers are so satisfying as usual,man of wisdom indeed
Indeed!!! So satisfying and calm! MashaAllah! 😭 Alhamdulillah! ☝️
Please read the holy Quran in English
@Violet rose I'm glad to hear that our champ sleeps well sis❤️after all the things happened, he's the master of his mind💪🏽 when it's time to sleep, sleep! 😁 He's mentally ready InshaAllah
@Violet rose Allah bless you too dear
Maul Justin this 24th and make your dad proud, inshallah... and still the Champion of the world inshallah. India stands with you, soar high my brother. Legacy!!!!
Khabib is on another level. To lose his father and still keep going like nothing's happened says how strong he is mentally.
Mike is such a good interviewer! Also, Khabib has improved his English so much. But still sounds so bad ass!
Thanks for the compliment, and thanks for watching!
Awesome interview. Khabib's attitude is so genuine and humble. He's a normal, ordinary person who just have made tons of efforts exceptionally. Impressive. I wish him the best of luck!
I love how hard he just roasted Chandler and laughs it off
For all who watch this interview, they need to subscribe to the channel. What Mike is doing recently and the way he conduct theses interviews and making the gust feel comfortable. All the best to khabib and inshallah the victory will follow
Ahmed Mohammed Elnour Ahmed just subscribed 👍🏽 can't believe I'm just finding his podcast
Thanks for the support!
Thanks for the sub! We're glad you found us!
Khabib is a real G, my guy said if he fight 170 “Bye Bye”.
"Very exciting about fight, very exciting, i can't wait". Love to here these words from Khabib
You can't not love Khabib... humble champ
King 👑
I always happy to see or hear khabib such a high class nothing but respect to him wiah him best of luck! Insahllla next Saturday and still...29-0 insahllla
When khabib started talking about “boorger” i cracked up because it made me remember when Megan olivi asked him “ are you hot” and Khabibs response was hilarious 😂
What he responded?
@danger ace after the porier fight. Megan asked khabib are you hot and he was so confused. You have to see it to understand lol
It was an awkward moment🤣
Boorger😂😂
🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥
Insha'Allah Khabib will win and Insha'Allah will Khabib stay undefeated Best wishes to Khabib and his family 'Thanks Mike for the interview
Thanks for watching!
@@RealQuickwMikeSwickPodcast of Course it´s quality content and without any silly meaningless questions which have been a 100 times
Hell I'm a fan and am having a hard time sleeping these days because of how excited I am for the fight ....geeez I can't even imagine what it's like for the actual person who will fight
I dream he lost the fight and when I wake up I think: wow, just a nightmare
Haha I feel you dude
For someone to learn the language and improve in a very short time must be very smart and Intelligent person . Respect champ
Let’s goooo
Khabib love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
No bullshit games. Everything he speaks is straight and clear.Just a personable. Character he is🏆
How do you not respect this man? He's so real and down to earth. You forget He's got buy your family money
It's ashame, Khabib was finally able to have his dad in the corner for his UFC career, now he's gone. The reaction and the look on his dad's face when he tapped Poirier was priceless. At least he got to share that moment together.
Makes a grown man cry
The fact that English isn’t Khabib’s first language is a legit super power. This guy can use the same words we would, but they have 100 times the impact. Brilliant.
Cant wait for the fight !!! And still 29-0 Let's goooo Khabib.
Please read the holy Quran in English,its a humble request.thanks
Excellent
وانا اقول ليش احب الدكتور طلال 😍
Worked all day then hit the gym. Now I get to enjoy this gift from Mike. Thank you my man.
You earned it!
the greatest undefeated, undisputed p4p legend,29-0 never one cut, never been dropped, never lost a round in my book, retires on top! mike our boy did it tonight!! i cried like a baby last night. I'm happy he decided to go out on top, and sad we won't see him fight anymore, but I'd rather have it this way, now it's Islam's turn. i wish someone would make a movie about khabib's life from the beginning to the end it's like a rocky movie but real, and i think a reality show with him and dc would be awesome too. congratulations champ.
You are a polite nice humble guy Mike. I wish you all the best. From Mustafa Algeria
Thanks and much love to Mustafa Algeria!
The Greatest Light Weight Of All Time
His English have improved soooooo much!!!!! Kudos
Deep inside him said : "hitting some one face is ⛔" in Islam. Now he is Free & full of Joy. Alhamdulillah. Khabib Nur Muhammagomedov.
"Okay, welcome." You have chosen death.
Khabib cracks me up whenever he says BURGAA lmao
He's so humble that everytime i listen to his interview i got numb and emotional 😹
No secret. And they still can't beat him. I love it. Best UFC Champion in the history of the sport!!!!
Khabib and Mike have a good friendship, Mike is a gentleman
What a nice respectful interview, without silly questions trying to start drama. Very much appreciated.
I think it’s good that only khabib fight this Saturday, it helps him concentrate with his fight only.. he had said that it makes him worried watching his cousins fight..
So sorry for Islam & Umar, but its better for Khabib. I do remember Coach Javier did say Khabib got very nervous for his guys.
@Exec Utize Staph infection is no joke, but better than getting Covid I guess.
Even if khabib loose this fight. He is a great Human being. Khabib is a real Champion.
🦅 Khabib Time .... god willing he will win again 🦅
I believe a big part of Khabibs reign is the discipline to stay in his division. Most guys his size move up mid way through their careers because of how difficult that cut is.
Khabib time....😉
God bless you in the name of jesus christ champ ......you will.be unstoppable 👊👊👊
I have been patiently waiting for this thank you Mike.. my new favorite podcast..#andstill #inshallah
Thanks!
29-0 - The 🐐
What makes you best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.. Khabib: Mental, I think I am not the best at grappling, striking but mental....😃
Khabib such a great human being... U can see Mike almost cry when khabib wishing the best for him n AKA Thailand
