khabib wasn't dreaming, he told you what he was going to do still choked you out. What an amazing fighter! Don't think we would see him again, he deserve the best P4P title and nothing else to prove.
Every fighter has to have this confidence - and the belief that Khabib has NEVER fought a dude like them. But deep down, they must know that there is just no chance. Khabib makes every pro fighter look they just started.
I remember as a kid in highschool one of my friends who had a different lunch period than me had developed this reputation of being amazing at chess. To me he was just my buddy that I would go back and fourth with in sports, video games or whatever. So when they told me this all I could do was laugh because I just didn't believe it and I quipped about how they must have played against someone else. This created some hype with a handful of people that were interested and wanted to see us play. So I skipped class and went to play him. I could tell by the way he was quiet and not his usual self and the way I was taking it so casually that he was gotten to. I beat him 2-0 clowning and taunting (in a friendly way that guys do) the entire time. My point with this is that because I truly didn't buy the hype, I was able to beat him and once I did and those same handful of people saw him lose, they started scoring victories here and there too whereas before they always lost. He was still the top player in the group but that aura of invincibility was broken. If I was Justin Gaethje and I did what he did, I wouldn't for a second buy the hype vs Khabib. I'd be extremely confident in my own abilities. The point is that these guys have some next level confidence and truly believe they can beat anybody once they get to the top. I will be rooting for Khabib because I've been a fan for years but he is by no means invincible nor do I think that deep down Justin doesn't believe in himself.
Will Justin provide the blueprint to beating Khabib and taking his "O" ? Many have tried, all have failed. Once Khabib takes you down get ready to be choked or feeling the ground and pound.
@@Deyy00 actually not true. Iaquinta, Tibiau, and Trujillo were all wrestlers. They werent D1 All Americans like Justin but in the UFC Justin has not often had to use his wrestling defense. Michael Johnson and Alvarez both took him down briefly and thats about it.
Because news in America has become more of a business, its gross. SO political! News here has become more of a platform for the whoever runs the news company not the peoples. I really just want to hear what's up, ya know.
Khabib did exactly what he said will do. you can see towards the end of round one Justin was getting tired breathing heavily, and in the second round he choked him out and put him to sleep. made it look so easy. and he did all that with broken toes from two weeks before. wow what a fighter . Khabib Nurmagomedov: Fly like an Eagle 🦅 , maul like a Bear 🐻.
Justin thought being a great wrestler, as he is, was enough due to his also great punching abilities and so on. In my eyes he missed one thing: not everything is about hours of hard work (quantity); the finest quality, the mastery is a "small" difference at the very top (as both Khabib and Justin are) reached by very, very few. One is certainly Khabib.
Hard work,dedication,honesty and loyalty are always the main things that come mind where JUSTIN GAETHJE is concerned !!!!ohhhhh and the fact he loves a good old "FIGHT" .All the very best to both fighters but its GAETHJE for me .
Dude it’s a national sports show. It’s a good question to educate the viewer. Their audience is not a hardcore mma audience. Relax. Die hard UFC fans can be soo annoying. Like relax, let casuals learn to love the sport as much as you. Sheesh.
I don't get people like you, you cry when MMA does not get mainstream coverage and when it does you need to whine about people educating themselves. It's not a bad question, as long as they don't give out their stupid uneducated opinions or steer every conversation back to Conor Mcgregor it's totally fine.
@@MrSals123 What Max said made sense as well. He's talking about how he uses his wrestling defense to stay on his feet. These people are just reaching.
lmao same bro, i was like "are u serious? how does wrestling help keep you off the ground? LMAO". max is as bad as stephen when it comes to combat sports.
And One thing got to mention molly asked the best Q. And the way she spoke it showed that she had given more time in knowing about the sport then max and Stephen combined
Gaethje definitely has a chance, dangerous stand up and probably one of the best wrestlers khabib will face but man khabib is just on a different level than everyone else, but should be a great fight!
there is no need to be toxic they are both violent fighter i hope best for each of them. Whoever wins doesnt matter just go there and fight hard and fight clean 🙂
Finally some good questions ESPN. And honestly, as annoying as Molly can be, she seems to know about mma beyond the surface level. She usually has pretty good questions dir the fighters
Excellent test for Kahbib, will be interesting to see if he can take him down and keep him there. A serious challenge even for him. Also how will he defend and deal with the leg kicks.
Justin Gaethje is the best fighter with his dangerous low kicks and the fight against Ferguson is still in my mind. Khabib said clearly how he will take the fight against Justin Gaethje like he always does and the fault of Justin Gaethje is that he fought to much with his low kicks and Khabib saw his opportunity to take him down on an amazing style
Yeah a lot of these interviews with mainstream shows are really forced but to be fair I thought Stephen a and max asked good and sincere questions. Max sounded genuinely curious when asking about how Justin would use wrestling to keep the fight standing
Conor McGregor is a fantastic fighter, he just needs to work on mental game, takedown defense, wrestling, scrambling, head movement, footwork, feints, striking, pacing, cage control, distancing, jiu-jitsu and not cheating
Something telling me gaethje is gonna he able to stuff takedowns and piece khabib up on feet, gathje came into the ufc with great wrestling but his striking has gotten a lot better each fight
Max Kellerman - "How do you use your wrestling to stay standing up? What do you mean by that?" Jesus christ. I thought this was the combat sports guy on the panel...
They came up with some really interesting questions for Justin. Next time you invite Khabib, create interesting questions that doesn't include Conor.
So true you have one of the best athletes and one of the most dangerous person on the face of the world ask him about anything but Conor
Just like Jon Jones , Conor brings views he brings money don’t like it don’t watch it
Not that Khabib would ever wanna come back after how silly they sounded
Even in this one closing question just had to be about mcgregor
@@Rerollful it's bcm annoying isn't that we don't like it even khabib nd Geatjhe didn't like it
Stephen A Smith be like "Justin, Khabib Nurmagomedov is 28-0. What does this say about Conor Mcgregor?"
Heart says Gaethje, Head says Khabib
Gaethe's head is big, that's enough to convince my head
Head is usually correct lol.
💘
Heart should say khabib cause his father dead and he looks so sad
Agreed just hope it's a good fight
Justin: I used to play ball with my dad
Khabib: I used to wrestle bears while my dad watched
Lollll
🤣🤣🤣
hahahahahahaha 😂😂
Love how everyone is shutting the McGregor questions down, they deserve the talk they are the ones fighting

Khabib - Tires everybody
Hahahaha... correct
After He put sleep his opponent, he crying & announce of his retirement What a Man. ❤️
He never lose a single round in his whole career. ❤️
undefeated fighters know they can be beaten, that's why they train so hard in practice and are prepared for all outcomes to become that good
And.... He lost as expected but great sportsmanship shown by him at the end of the fight. :)
Funny I am watching this after see him chocked in the 2nd round. Respect for him because he was respectful.
Idk I feel like it's gonna be the same movie

@@jyggaswoop2774 thanks for putting it simply for the simps
Why they bring Conor McTapper in every interview 😂😂
Because he’s box office
Cause they don't watch the sport lol.
💵💵💵💵
They talk for living. They have no knowledge of MMA.
Because they want to keep Conor McNugget relevant
bruh he really called mcgregor irrelevant, y’all already know mcgregor gonna go off tmr on social media
Question is, who cares? Lol pretty sure only the Conor fanboys who still worship him is my guess 🤣🤣
And the bs cycle of trying to stay relevant continues thus why SAS still has a high paying job...
He meant fighting him is irrelevant considering he’s not even in the same weight class anymore
Sas : “I’m a huge fan”
Everybody else: *then say his name correctly*
Thought they were interviewing Draft Kings... relax ESPN we gone bet
Fr lolll
Love both these fighters. Im excited, should be a good fight
Coming Back After Khabib Choked Him Out Like He Said He Would 😂🤣 Way to win and go out in style The Eagle Is Flying Free Now!!
Khabib inshallah 29-0.
Everyone thinks they have the last piece of the puzzle 🧩 until they step inside the cage with the Eagle....ALHAMDULILLAH...THANK YOU KHABIB! THE GOAT
Max knows his stuff
Sarcasm Noted.......
khabib really said his plan laud and clear. he broke the art of war
man max is becoming one of my favorites he is asking some best questions
Agreed!
definitely the better interviewer of the two.

Khabib delivered his promise today.
He is so good coz he did whatever he said in a fight...
Hahahaha khabib choked him out like he predicted destroyed him
I love how in both Gaethje and Khabib's interview they bring up Conor and they both shut them down
It was not a nice little dream.... it was the determination of the legend. Time told us.
Khabib inshallah and still!🦅
Great show 👍🏻
tbh, so many with wrestling backgrounds in the ufc end up as strikers anyway
You called champ! 🔥🔥🔥
I'm rooting for Justin but this is a great match
Remember Justin has been also training with Usman for this fight plus he's an all american. I just don't think it's enough for khabib .
Even Usman doesnt want to face Khabib
Idk, when Khabib gets someone on the ground. It just seem inevitable the outcome of the match.
He’s also never fought anybody with any wrestling credentials. Not saying Khabib will lose, but Gaethje was all American 1st div.

Lets be honest Justin probably earned a lot of new fans after that fight.
Justin should have said Khabib is 28-0 because he hasn’t fought him yet
This should be a great fight
My prediction is ; this is gonna be Khabibs fastest win in UFC.This guy is overconfident
Let’s go Justin😃
For everbody who is listen 🗣🗣 dont giv up we in this together🤜🏾🤛🏾 i pray if yall wanna be TH-camrs like or Great dont give up 💛
Out of nowhere : female reporter
😂😂😂😂
Someone tell her to go back to the kitchen
I heard Dana White was in their earpieces muttering the words Connor.. Connor.. ask Connor questions.
Lowkey feel like Justin got scared when he saw that interview 😂
It's missing some great parts at the end there...
He looked a little shook after watching that clip 😂
Idk he seemed pretty normal to me, justin is an intense competitor
Conor McGregor is a fantastic fighter, he just needs to work on mental game, takedown defense, wrestling, scrambling, head movement, footwork, feints, striking, pacing, cage control, distancing, jiu-jitsu and not cheating

He will forever have the blue lips
I can't speak for All of America but I can say that this American is pulling for you Justin GO GET THAT BELT AND NEW
Im rooting for Justin, his take down defense is a huge advantage for him. Should be a great fight!
These people need to work their brains and ask better questions.
If it's one guy I wouldn't mind take the W over Khabib, it's Gaethje.
In your dreams kid
I don't want to underestimate this guy I know he's tough challenge but this guy is not in my level.
