Khabib's student against Tarzan! Crazy fight for future champions! Makhachev vs Barnaoui
Fight of Islam Makhachev led another tournament in the UFC on ESPN series. There is not so much left before the coveted title fight. And in this regard, today we will remember the very first duel of Islam in the M-1 Global organization.
It took place at the M-1 Challenge 38 tournament, which took place on April 9, 2013 in St. Petersburg. Islam at that time had 7 victories in 7 fights under the rules of mixed martial arts, as well as the title of world champion and winner of the World Cup in combat sambo.
An equally interesting fighter became his rival. If Makhachev was 21 years old at the time of his debut in the rage, then the champion of the French organization 100% Fight Mansur Barnau, nicknamed "Tarzan", was even less, only 20 years old. But he also had an impressive record of 8 wins with just one defeat.
Years later, one of them will follow in Khabib's footsteps to the UFC champion title, and the second will become the M-1 Challenge champion and win the Road FC Grand Prix. But even then, in 2013, the technical arsenal and the incredible potential of both athletes were visible to the naked eye. Their battle promised to be incredibly stubborn and spectacular.

Честно франсуз победил Привет из Таджикистан Душанбе,
😢😢😢 Так скучаю по дяди Абдулманапу , нам его так не хватает. Да будет доволен им Аллах!
Seeing Abdulmanap in the corner brought a tear to my eye. RIP my king.
I want to see these 2 fight again in UFC 🔥
The Late Respected Abdulmanap told Dana that his students will dominate the UFC and Dana laughed .... Fast forward 2021 Dana is begging Khabib to return offering him Millions .... What Dana failed to understand that it wasn't money or fame that motivated Abdulmanap may Allah SWT have mercy on his and my fathers soul BUT it was the fact that Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov was confident in both his son and his students to represent Dagestan and Sambo and be ELITE DOMINANT FIGHTERS .... IT WAS ABOUT HONOUR AND RESPECT FOR THE SPORT.
Надо отдать должное французу,выносливость и физика на порядок выше!
This fight is underrated, good performance by both athletes
And the student became the UFC Lightweight Champ in 2022 🔥📌
He's not Khabib's student but Abdulmanap's student.
Абдул Манап помним,уважение!Светлая память !
Как хорошо Хабиб общается с Исламом, без напрягов, наездов, душевно так, мягко
Had no idea Islam had been fighting so long at that level. Since before 2013? I'm really looking forward to him and Olivera fighting
This fight just exposed three things that maybe we all could agree on.
Вечная память Абдулманапу он стольких бойцов подготовил вся Россия может гордиться ими.
Both fight their hearts out..great performance.
I have a feeling that Islam is a natural striker but was trained as grappler… his striking is more instinctive than grappling. Great improvement that he managed to strengthen his grappling.
Француз красавчик разносторонний боец удивил !!! Он был лучший в этом бою !!!
Оооо это было эмоционально! Спасибо ! 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wonderful fight done by a student. I am proud of him and want to see him going far beyond in UFC career..
