My favorite chat with Usman so far! Had plenty more for him but he was on the move. Appreciate his time as always. 🙏
Too bad he signed for two more years at PFL !
But I still think he will be the one to took the churros of Topuria
@@Rakid92Yup and he’s younger than Ilia with more experience. Also, people say that Ilia had very competitive rounds against Paul in the gym so Ilia and Usman are most likely around the same level
You have great rapport with the Caucasians. Try to get an Ank interview please. 🙏
More islam Makhachev interviews, or for you personal yt channel visit Dagestand maybe durning ramadan and document film it, good content.
You're class!
These dagastan guys respect is out of this world they definitely show always a great example
Respect by saying he was "50%" and making excuses for not looking as dominant as he usually does against Paul Hughes because of Paul Hughes? These guys only have "respect" when they win an dominant fight. Stop glorifying them, they're just human like the rest of us. Was he respectful when he did a hit-and-run in dagestan?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the world os going crazzyyyyyyyy
This was actually a surprisingly good interview
Khabib set the bar so high for these guys that when they get a close decision it doesn’t seem right. That’s what you call aura
Well honestly should've been a draw in any other fight but since he is the champ you've gotta do a little more to win the belt
The real mma media person is Mike Bohn & Kevin Iole now.
Seems like a good person. He's the one who put Dana on the spot for an increased bonus and it happened for those fight nights.
Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 supports you Usman. I hope you gonna be UFC champion one day InshaAllah 🤲
99 percent of the uzbeks dont even know who he is)
99% of the world dont know what uzbeks or uzbekistan is my friend, so relax friend 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Only 26 years old and already so experienced. Such a great fighter and good-looking!
ask him out for dinner, maybe he will agree to it

❤❤❤Champ.. Still young still learning from his brothers... Will grow and hopefully we see him at UFC in a few years... 🔥 Usman and STILL 😊
Love Usman so much ❤ hes young and has a good spirit. Excited for his future wins
Great interview! Usman has great potential to be a big star.
The future goat
Fantastic interview! So, many important questions.
Good question from Mike about Hughes breaking Usman in the fourth round and great answer from Usman. After licking his blood and putting on a show during the stoppage, Hughes was taken down and got smashed with forearms towards end of the round. I'm not so sure he won the fourth round. Let Hughes fight Shably and let's see who wins
nah, man; groin-strikes ruined the fight; book the rematch
@@Toddpicogram-aka-Satan i dont know why they were hitting each other that much in the balls, it stopped after Usman got deducted a point. It was a hard kick but it was completely unintentional.
It's hilarious now that Usman has learned English and shows his personality a lot. Looking forward to a rematch if it happens next.
wholesome interview.
Great rapport between Mike & Usman🤙 I get a kick out of you two interviewing together. Great stuff & plz keep going👏🙏☝️🏆
Dagestan champ
How can you not like this guy
He's easy not to like. He's too arrogant and full of himself. Khabib n Islam have charisma, which he doesn't
Usman ❤ South Africa majority fully support Dagi Boyz...basics Respect& Discipline AND praise to the Almighty....don't care about those haters in USA
It makes sense now...Usman was alone and only had his coaches working with him after the Islam and Umar fights...they just had a few days with him.
And he mentioned he was sick too in dubai with fever
That's just an excuse. Hughes had no known or established trainers at all.
Usman is a great fighter
Usman will be a legend
Usman 🦁👑
Great interview!
he has really improved his English, very good interview
Paul vs Shabily for totle contender
Usman is the champion while Paul lost. Usman's suggestion to Paul getting 1 win before they rematch is such a generous offer.
Generous offer ? 😂Usman almost lost the fight!!
Rematch for sure!! It was a great fight! Respect to both.
Peoples champ❤
Usman Nurmagomedov 😂🔥🇷🇺
The brain attitude and approach and intelligence of nurmagomedov is some thing can put to scientific research. I wonder his mentality after winning fight. That makes the unique a level above orhers. We can use their approach is business too. Go 2 steps ahead of the best
yes making excuses is high iq moves...
@FriedrichMeier0 idiot ...excuses for what? He won the fight.
As much as I like Usman and his team no brother you have to give Paul an immediate rematch he deserves it it was a really close fight
This rivalry is PFLs only shot to make it
Usman Nurmagomedov wants no part of a Paul Hughes rematch-he knows what would happen. These Dagestani guys need to sort out their cardio issues ASAP because once the grind gets real, they start fading. If they don’t fix it, their era won’t last much longer.
you said like khabib, islam etc etc hv cardio issues. there are very few people like merab have big cardio. but they are freaks. you can not train to hv big cardio. it is not like all fighters from georgia hv big cardio.
😂😂 sure sure
@@dalusgembalushe's actually right, and I'm one of their fans
You realise how great Khabib was. Usman is no where near his level or even Islam's level
@sarak4217 You gotta be kidding. Makhachev's cardio was a big issue in his fight against Poirier. He started strong but seemed to get tired in the third round, which hurt his performance.
People from the Caucasus are very sensitive. They treat each other with respect, but if one side acts aggressively, it can lead to war. It's bad when a friend betrays you, but it's even worse when your own brother does. It's hard to explain to westerners. This is why fighting Shavkat is a bad idea.
For Islam?
the cope is insane by these Dagi’s
Very competitive fighters, kinda normal bro. I see no issue bro
@sstech5410 it’s one thing to be competitive, there is no issue with that, bro. it’s about making excuses when their performance is critiqued in the slightest. there’s always a reason they didn’t finish the fight or make it a more clear decision.
Why would he need to cope if he won?
Cope for winning? You’re such a maggot lol
@@TylerRayMMAyou're the ones coping 😉
Man i really hope they use translator instead because they didnt understand the question very well and barely give the answer
Why this video you tube doesn’t recommend
16:25 teamkhabib recognizes the threat Ilia presents. A rare moment.
Let's be honest, these "excuses" do not make this guy any more humble nor respectful. It's like everything he said post fight means nothing now.
By the end of the video he says he tries to be a better example but maybe he should try to be more like Khabib and Islam instead of relying on them
So many interesting matchups in the PFL LW division.
Archie Colgan
Zhoran Anvazyan
Paul Hughes
Make sense next
try to get islam, to know what's going on at 45 and 55.👍
Islam needs to fight Shavkat.
He seemed way lighter than Paul in the fight...
Usman has a different aura which even Khabib didn't have. He just needs to work on his boxing(body punching, uppercut) a little more. His grappling is excellent while he possesses just okay wrestling skills.
What?!?
i think his striking is already good enough, he has to work on grappling and takedown entries.
If he sharpens those he will be the most dangerous lightweight in the world. Out of a rear naked choke he does not has many submission threats he is comfortable attacking. Like Islam, can do Darce, armbar, triangle arm choke, even kimura, never seen usman accomplish other submission.
What? All I see in him is arrogance. Khabib was the full package. None of them are on his level .
I think there should be immediate rematch. They both are already fight of the year.
Usman won 5 rounds and umar won the fight against merab
And these guys preach how to be humble 😂😂😂😂
They are nothing with out khabib, he pushes them and show the way thats why khabib come back fr, once he retired as a coach Than came back
If khabib and nate diaz have son
Whenever these guys don't dominate or don't win, they always have tales to tell. It's as if they're the only ones who face challenges before or during the fight, but all fighters do. However, when they dominate, they want all the credit & they get it, neither them nor the fans stop to think or say that their opponents were dealing with something & that may be why they won. So either everybody's issues & challenges matter or none of them do postfight & we don't want to hear about them if they weren't serious enough for the fighter not to step in the cage.
groin strikes ruined the fight
He dominated enough to win unanimously. Dude won every round literally. 💯
What do you mean 'these guys'?
That's because everyone thinks they're Khabib and is expected to always dominate no matter who it is. If Umar wasn't related to Khabib, I am sure everybody would of claimed "robbery" against Merab.
Facts !!!
Why you dont want to fight in Belfast
Stop it Usman..i understand you had issue...but these things are coming out as excuse.... Keep those things to yourself.... Share those only when you win convincingly.....
UD 😁
“Stop it Usman” 💅….you sound like a twerp 😂
How do you figure he is making up an excuse when the man WON the fight loool the hate is so real
I've never heard one of these rats just take the L for such humble brotha brothas
brother, please; tibau beat khabib and was robbed
Lucky that only Umar lost then from their team. I wonder who are those rats in plural you talking about rat 🤦🏻♂
Shataap conor yu cl0wn
You must be big jealous 🐀
I like Usman, but in Europe nobody has a clue who he is.
See the comments on the photos he posted in Milan and believe me he is known to young people in France. If you speak French you will find a lot of content about him
@@babahadjimohamed9339France is not Europe apparently
@@Toddpicogram-aka-SatanLast time I checked the map it was located in Europe
Who are you to say that?! I doubt you're right!
@@Toddpicogram-aka-Satan yes France has changed into a Muslim country!
The dagis chose to clown other fighters for losing but they never once stopped to think what would happen if they lost. That's why there's so much damage control if they even come close to it now, but they did this to themselves.
What damage control? Dude near 50-45’d his opponent
You mean the respect umar showed to Cory after there fight or Islam shown respect for Dustin and calling him a legend, you can't stop do you
@@keyboardwarrior6591groin-strikes ruined their fight
you have to give example when they disrespected Opponents they beat? Before fight they talk that's normal that's how a fight is build up , Nobody is saying shit to Topuria because afterwards he is showing respect evenso Topuria is by far more cocky before his fights but that's how the hype is build up.
What is your mom talking about? They win and move on
win and send paul 2 ufc :) good 4 sport w usman not in ufc.
i like usman, but he needs the same mentallity of islam and khabib. can't cherry pick when or who he fights. if pfl offers paul the fight, he should accept. period. it shouldn't matter who or when. real ones fight whoever is placed in front of them. I think he will, but he can't say it out loud because it makes him seem like he's scared which i know he's not, but he's not helping his case by trying to put terms on who "deserves" to fight for the title. same argument umar was telling merab.
Exactly. I'm put off by Usman.
Bro literally every time one of these guys have a tough fight they claim health issues. Shara magomedov, Umar, Usman, I could keep going
Manaca and PSG😂
Still had Hughes 2,3,5
Also 1,4,6 and 7
Barely won 2 rounds….there was no rounds where Hughes was dominating. He was a dangerous opponent. In the rematch I think Usman will dominate him or finish him.
@@SA-kg6lpit's just close fight in 3 rounds but Usman won all those rounds, you need to watch again 😄
Leave the scorecards to the professionals lol
Usman 5-0
Excuse. Can’t wait to see him at 60% next time
Please be a man and stop excuses. you better work on your cardio, otherwise you will be finished in the rematch!
All these guys have excuses
And still…. excuse or no excuse who won?
Theses guys have excuses every time
he is literally won
Excuses for what?? He dominated enough to win unanimously. Dude won every round literally. 💯
look at these dagi fanboys man. they dont even come up for air 😂😂😂
@ FriedrichMeier0 I understand you friend, the truth hurts you and it hurts you badly. I can only show mercy and compassion to people like you with that buried hatred they have inside their chests. 😘
Another fake humble daguestani!
“I hug him bery good
I win evary round”
Average dagistani post fight talk
He was whooping your ass mate 😅
better than whole india population
Why all these dagis always coming up with excuses, just appreciate thr fight and move on knowing you have to improve 😢
I love Khabib and Islam but Usman doesn't have the same aura or charisma and his arrogance almost cost him the last fight. After watching him and umar , you realise even more how great khabib is and was
There’s always excuses from these guys lol
Excuse for winning? 😂😂
@@keyboardwarrior6591let them cope 🤣
Excuses for what?? He dominated enough to win unanimously. Dude won every round literally. 💯
@ every round ? Yeah you’re trolling .
@ Nope and as a matter of fact all judges as well as verdict mma saw it the same.
This guy lost plain and simple.
BUTT HURTING EH ? BUY PROPER 12 BUTT RELEIF CREAM. HA HA HAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR
Very hateble guy ngl and very arrogant
😏 if you hate him so much ? Why watch his interview ?
Punishing yourself and still watching this interview
@@cave129 because hating is his full-time job.
@@cave129 because it appeared in my timeline. You dont need to gas up everyone who is team khabib i like khabib but his cousin is clearly arrogant and got humbled in his last fight
Maybe you hate yourself
normagamedav was give hugest chance to fight him that night but he not take that chance to win that fight.. why to give chance agian to fight.. he must fight number 1,2 or 3 after that can can talk about fight again...
