  • What makes Coach Jav more respectable and Lovable is his admiration for Abdulmanap Nurmagomadov. Coach Jav always glorifies Abdulmanap. He gives Abdulmanap credit. That makes coach jav a great person. He is humble. He is the main coach, he is teaching everything but he says 'Father's plan' and gives credit to Abdulmanap. The respect increase for coach Jav automatically. That's why he became like a father to these Dagestan boys.

By understanding the backgrounds of fighters, especially Makachev and Olivera, It is truly inspiring. These two are the types of people that would put others before themselves, in a sense of being selfless. Isn’t it ironic that they fight? This isn’t a normal fight, it’s soul vs soul, and these two, have hearts of gold. There is a lot of hurt going in the world. This main event will be a fight for the greater good.

  • Javier is a good coach and he's turned good fighters into great fighters and also ufc champions have come out of AKA. Javier is a stand up guy aswell and as you expect very loyal to his fighters like he should be the only gripe I have is he is so bias he dismisses his fighters oponants like he was with rockhold , Cain , d.c , khabib , an Islam. Javier thinks Islam can have his way with Olivera just dismissing Oliveras accolades being the best 155 pound fighter ever he has the most finishes and submission out of any fighter in any division in the ufc. But to Javier Islam still wins easy. Imo Do Bronx Olivera wins the fight because he's the more well rounded fighter and can finish the fight on the feet ..
