I love it when he said his brother Usman is better.. just a very good man. Everybody should be like that.
Let’s be real Umar is better :)
@@ocerco93 but usman is javier most fav disciple. there's reason why you are more favored by your coach
They're both exceptional. It's hard to say right now since they're both young and on the come up
That was called humbleness, even Khabib said that Islam is better than him, eventhough the fact is Javier Mendes said Islam only won 1 round against Khabib in their training session for years
@@har_bow he didn't say that, he said that Islam is the only person that defeated Khabib in some rounds but Khabib won way more
The most humble and kindest of the Dagestani warriors ❤️
Think both him and his brother Usman are really thoughtful people
Bcoz thr religion "Islam" being nice to everyone
When he's asleep
Is on steroids from childhood.
@@GalactusOG Bobby Green fan ?
Alhamdulillah. Just look how humble and down to earth this guy is. In the cage, these Muslim guys are like lions. Outside of the cage, down to earth.
For this fighter inside the cage, “there are no pact between Lions and man “ Achilles (TROY).
Such a humble sweetheart he is. He seems very genuine and the smile on his when he is talking about Usman can’t describe🥹 Barakallah fee.
Lower your gaze sister,lbest to leave off the sweetheart terms
@@mb4701 calm down brother
Usman said Umar has the best kicks in Nurmagomedov family. Umar saying Usman is better. The kind of brotherhood they share is the key to their success, congratulations Umar 👍😊
For kicks i think its umar better but overall usman have the edge
Well put bro.
not just kicks usman say Umar is better but he is a bit bigger
Their greatest strength isnt wrestling, its love
Spot on bro. I think overtime more and more people will begin to realize it.
Top comment. I couldn't agree more💯
Well said!
Great comment 👍👍
Underrated comment😎
As an engineer thanks for that statement brotha now I'll improve my skills too...😌
me to as a Jr. Drilling engineer in geothermal
U know dis brotha
Well done boys.
"If you live 300 years you have to learn 300 years ( never stop learning) " ~ khabib Nurmagomedov
@@luthfan9395 me too as an unemployed I will improve my skills on that and become a better unemployed person
He has khabib s spirit , congratulations young eagle , we are proud of you
Hello 👋👋
This person is jobless i see him everywhere
@@Oddly_Fascinting I don't need a job , I'm a girl still .... you're not even a man rainbow boy
@@violetrose6014 so girls dont work in your place which planet is this
he's umar not khabib you dumb no life groupie
Amazing to see how much he already improved his English. He's such a humble and awesome person. Putting his brother Usman above himself, apologizing for the 1 hammerfist immediately after the fight, etc. I hope he becomes UFC champion this or next year, defends many times and retires undefeated. Imagine the Adbulmanap Nurmagomedov legacy if Khabib, Usman, Umar and Islam all become dominating champions.
I believe in this comment. Idk if this gonna happen or not so 2-3 years if that happens bois mention me to remind me if my comment. Let's go Umar
I would not be surprised if that prediction comes true. As of this writing Umar, Usman & Khabib combined are 62-0. Those Dagestanis are a different breed altogether
Movlid PFL, Saygid ONE, Gadzhi Bellator, and many other fighters or champions at different organizations or olympics
This guy should be in the top 6 now. Everyone is avoiding him. His record 16-0-0
Exactly
Deserves a top opponent next for sure
saying his little brother can be universal champ.... he really really proud let's go young eagle
Khabib was the progenitor of this whole Dagestan mma legacy. People said he could only wrestle. But Islam, Usman, and Umar are showing that Khabib’s camp is good everywhere and not just at wrestling. Complete fighters. And Umar’s kicking game is sooooo good
I want my brother to take all the belts, I want him to be universal champion. What a brother
Umar still feeling sad down inside for that extra follow up punch
Yes, it can be seen by the way umar touch his opponent's head after punch...🥲
It's always been weird to me how fighters will intentionally try to get extra punches in, kinda sad that not punching an unconscious person isn't just normal expected behaviour
The way he said he"ll be happy if usman have all belts in the world coz they are brother...is a most humble and sincere a brother's statement could be
His English is so much better! Congrats Umar ❤
One Nurmagomedov retires, another rules..
The way he cradled his apponent makes me love this guy. So humble and sportsman like.
This interview is more difficult for him than the fight itself.
Lol 🤣
😂😂😂
What a humble man
He has the Dagestan pedigree. He will be world champion soon enough.its in his DNA. He and his brother,khabib,Islam, all the Dagestan fighters show that you don't need to behave like a killer to be a killer.
Umar has the best questionmark kick in the game. 0% efford but 100% perfect
Scary that he is only 26, imagine this guy at 30. Umar has the potential to do really great things in this sport.
If his opponents keep ducking him like they did to islam then we couldnt see his full potential, hope ufc give him a chance more
Sterling don’t want no smoke with this guy 😂😂😂
Dont sleep on Aljo...hes the champ for a reason..he dusted sandhegan, defied all the odds n beat yan when everyone was sayin he was weak..then lit up a former juicehead champ in dillashaw...Umar is a true threat for the belt but Aljo is no chump
@@r.boss5373 He can’t wrestle or strike with Umar bro. He barely beat Yan the second time and Yan is little.
@@r.boss5373 He is running on a lot of luck. Couldn't even submit a guy with a dislocated shoulder. Umar will smoke him
@@r.boss5373 we saw his last 3 fights 😉
@@reemraw9956 you arabs are embarrassing habibs team. That's why alot of people don't like them because of stupid fans like you. I am muslim too
I can't believe how decent and honorable these Dagestani men are 🥺🤍, MashaAllah ❤️
I said it before and I say it now, the fastest fighter in the entire UFC with such a technique soon 👑
Any normal human being would love this man , all this humbleness ,manners , professional commitment etc are form one big reason which is Islam religion He is truly good Muslim
More important - He's a good human being.
@@michaelcoceski5442 Because Of his religion teaching 💓
It’s definitely their practising and discipline following the character Islam teaches big difference between their conduct and other Russians
Man his reflex so fast🥶🥶🥶
Did you notice how the Dagestanis carry themselves? They are humble, soft spoken, well mannered, respectful, hard working and family people. The fighters consider themselves as a big family and support each other. No wonder such a small country of about 3 milion people has taken MMA by storm🙏 Compare them with the self-centered loners of the likes of McGregor, Jones, Covington to name but a few.
Umar's humbleness is 2nd to none. To hear him say, I would want my brother to have every belt. Thats selflessness, something their whole teams shows. The world would be better with more people like that.
Even on a first round KO he says he has to see where he made mistakes. That’s the mentality of a champion.
His English has improved a ton! Can’t wait to see more of umar
I love how he can hold down an entire conversation in English now! Amazing dedication.
How can someone hate this young warrior? I love is character!
He is such a great guy. Knockout was great too
Love Umar, respectful, educated and also his english improving ! Young eagle 🦅
I bet the Aussie camp was waiting to see if there's any weakness left by Khabibs departure from the team . After Umars best performance yet they have their answer now. Feb 11 🔥 Makhachev is going for that p4p
Islam became the favorite student of the late Abdulmanap because of his discipline and determination, a champion coach his instincts are sharper than those of us who only see them during the bouts. Besides Khabib announced his retirement as a coach even before Makhachev's first title defense, showing his immense faith in Makhachev's capabilities.
😄👍👍

00:43 "When he come... I wanna meet him... with knee" That's how I want to meet some people.
😂😂😂😂
Yes sometimes when I am walking around the street, I just can't help but imagine hitting a knee to random people walking in my direction or towards me. It's just feels and seems too cool to knock somebody out with running knee or flying knee
@@angrymaniac53 and scream "parkour"
😁😁😁
Hahah😂
Wow, it is just weird. Most average Joe is plague by sibling rivalry or even jealousy, but this guy the way he speaks about his brother.... Umar, he is a good & great guy. Normal people have a tendency to big up their own ego. But Khabib's camp is just different.
Islamic families find jealousy of siblings weird.
This kid is pure and humble. Great ppl people in Dagestan 👍🏻
The Dagestan can be proud with the representation of Nurmagomedov family, great personality, he apologizes after giving an extra punch to the ground, he brings back the noble art in the cage.
How do u not like this kid
I love how polite he is and how much he loves his little brother! 💙
Everybody wishes to have brother like Umar,its a blessing!!
His English has improved dramatically. Incredible
Awesome knockout Mashallah!
Contradiction
the real new khabib 2.0 is here, finally
3.0 Islam Makhachev is 2.0
Young eagle out there snatching souls.
That's how brotherhood should be. Congrats future champ
He's so respectful, humble and full of kindness, can't wait to see more fights of him!!! The young eagle is going to be a champion soon inshallah!!!
Brett and his love talking with nurmagamedovos and co makes me feel happy
This guy even has the same mannerisms as khabib
He is the cousin brother of Khabib.
It's the Islamic etiquette and mannerism ♥️
I don't think there has ever been two brothers in combat sports that showed this much skill and ability. People aren't talking enough about them maybe bcos Usman is in Bellator and champ, but these two came from the same mother? Incredible.
Mashallah, I want my boys to love one another like that when they grow up! Wonderful parenting 💙
Khabib's team is unstoppable.
What a k.o by umar, his English also improve. Can't wait to see he fight again.
Umar & Usman will be the Klitschko brothers in MMA (although from different divisions). You’d have to wait for a fury to emerge to beat them 😂
They aren't afraid to keep up with the game and improve and become better after each training camp . Despite how much confidence there is in the wrestling and Grappling style they specialise in they're not slacking off on the striking department. I can see both staying at the top until age catches up to them. Usman might have trouble in his upcoming grand Prix though and that might be the toughest test of his career because by the time he moves to the UFC he would've probably had enough time to improve and make any potential UFC matchups in lightweight easier for himself at that point in time.
They're not the Klitschko brothers of MMA. They'll be an even better version. One already a Bellator champ. This one surely looking like a Champion material
maybe if cory sandhagen shaved all his hair and packed on 150 lbs of belly fat? then we have the tyson fury of 135
Khabib come back!
Love this guy very simple casual and also love his fighting style
his english is getting so much better, less of a pause before he answers. these mountain men are getting better at everything.
I saw Umar studying English using 2nd grade English books in his IG story. They're just hardworking people.
Humble , honest and kind.
*Alhamdulillah! ☝️*
A true Russian man right there very respectful and humble to all we love you Nurmagomedov up here in Canada
He's not Russian, he's Dagestani, HUGE difference in everything.
Love to see humble and good mannered fighters in the UFC.He was genuinely sorry after the hammer fist.Great fighter.
He felt bad when he hammer fist his opponent after K O very humble champ
He proved in this fight to be the Young Eagle!
What a lovely human being
Man this is a Super star. What a knock out. Omg. Plz keep his contents coming.

Future undefeated and undisputed champion InshaAllah....!!!
