Poirier's last camp before Makhachev was BSD another grappler, and Poirier was also training with Gamrot, and he never even tried guillotine vs Makhachev, he was more focused on defending the takedowns instead of trying a guillotine. Poirier was definitely better prepared and more experienced to fight vs Makhachev's wrestling compared to his previous Khabib fight.
That was a great quote by gsp, but khabib most likely told and prepared Islam for Poirier using that switch on him, considering Poirier tried that switch twice on khabib and it didn't work. But despite preparing for it it still worked on Islam, which says alot about khabib level of grappling and wrestling, he didn't know poirier was gonna use that technique but he still managed to shut it down twice... Khabib is the better wrestler grappler, Islam is the better striker and his offensive jijutsu is more very versatile and lethal. According to Poirier is stronger but Islam's squeeze was otherworldly strong, same thing with olivera the moment islam touched his neck oliviera was immediately tapping from the strength of the squeeze. Also about poirier even tho he was more expirience in this fight with Islam compared against khabib, khabib fought an absolute peak physically Poirier (he was 30 years old) after a win over max, where as Islam fought an older Poirier.
It’s great to see GSP still fit and healthy with his head screwed on. To make it in such a difficult sport is one thing but to retire with a healthy brain and body is another.
I’m very much in line with everything GSP said. Some points to consider: 1. Comparing Islam’s grappling skill to Khabib’s based on their performance against Dustin is unfair. Khabib fought Dustin 5 years ago and Dustin never experienced that Dagestani wrestling before. He has been obsessed with trying to improve against it ever since. He didn’t overcome it, but Dustin is much better in defending compared to 2019. 2. Khabib is the better pressure fighter in terms of his relentless pursuit of a takedown. He will nonstop shoot until he gets it. Khabib’s ground and pound from top while maintaining control is better while Islam’s submission skills are superior. 3. Where Islam has significant advantages over Khabib is his striking. He doesn’t need to relentlessly pursue takedowns, he can stand and trade with the best of them. Dustin is one of the best strikers in the UFC in terms of grit and power and can put you away in any round and despite all that, Islam outstruck him everywhere and this INCLUDES the exchanges where Dustin’s hands weren’t low and they were actively exchanging. Islam was countering him very well. Some haters tried to discredit Islam bc he didn’t put him away earlier and bled. Imagine how superior you must be to everyone else for someone trying to criticize you for having blood the first time in the octagon. What’s funny is Dustin is the one that had more facial trauma. He also took criticism for not finishing Dustin earlier which is bonkers. Not only did Islam win every round, that ankle swivel takedown in round 5 when everyone is slippery and tired was a career highlight masterclass when you consider it then led to a D’Arce choke. An Islam that goes through adversity and gets a finish anyway is much more dangerous moving forward than an Islam that may have gotten a kimura in round 1 and quickly won. Everyone take notice, Islam IS that dude and will be in Mt. Rushmore convos of all-time greats moving forward.
@@jackdaniels2905 Well yeah, sure, it's been americanized through the generations, but at its origins, the name is French, with him being from Louisiana and all, same with Cormier.
I love how islam was so smart on that gulf takedown. He waited that Dustin land his foot, as soon as has dusting set his foot, islam quickly did the gulf thing, truly high IQ move.
@@shboulato_crypt0504 No, watch it again, in slow mo, first he cant see the strike loading, second, he is clearly staring at his feet, and AS SOON AS it set on the ground, the foot, he immediatly start his technic, he is brillant.
Well newton was great in physics. Being great in physics and searching for God in universe are 2 different things. Often the great mind become sinister, which shows great mind and a nice spirit are differnet. Muslim too have great scientist and discoverers. Being Muslim, we want Gsp to embrace islam and be safe from hellfire. We are not forcing it upon him, we are praying from our God, same way christians try to spread their religion and ask from their god@ItsameAlex @@ItsameAlex
Why you muslims always trying to convert celebrities to islam when you like them. Dude is french canadian, there's no way he become muslim. (Doesn't mean he disrespect islam) but you are the only religion obsessed with converting everybody around you, it's scary
Hello Coach Zahavi I am a fan living in Korea and I am interested in MMA and I am working out hard to prepare for my fights. Recently, I am learning jiu-jitsu and studying with your videos, but there are so many videos, I am worried about where and how to start and how to watch them in order. I would like to ask you which video should I start with if I am a beginner in Jiu Jitsu and MMA and study with your video content? Thank you so much for all your videos😊
GSP is 100% spot on with that golf swing or sweep or whatever it's called that Islam pulled off. You watch that clip of Islam doing that move in slow mo and you can see Dustin was ready to throw his right hand and a second late from Makhachev, things could have gone differently but credit to Islam for taking a risk and doing that sweep in time
Correct, one analyst said Islam waited for Dustin to throw a punch so that he would be off balance which would help Islam to execute the move.. real tactical stuff there.
@@morpheus19 Yeah that's the point of this move it's a drill for when your opponent decides to take a swing you can swing the leg through since his balance is momentarily off
The sound of the video is a bit too blown out. I'd suggest shooting somewhere quieter and turning off the wireless microphone dps sound dampening. It tend to make voices sound electronic.
In DPs first fight against Khabib he had no clue what he was about to go up against (in terms of grappling). For Islam, he knew and prepared accordingly but despite that he had very little resistance to Islams grappling (when Islam wanted to). That speaks volume about Khabib's and Islams' grappling skills. With that said, DP did a lot better than many thought.
Hi Coach 🫡 when i did hyper extension a coach told me just do half reps to keep the spine straight. I told him it is light weight and it is good for the spine to bend and to go all the way up and down. But now im confused what is right? Even the neck curls should i go all the way down and up?
Thank you coach for this! GSP for me is the greatest of all time and it means a lot to hear those from him about my favourite fighter Islam Makhachev ❤❤
nice comment from GSP on how risky the golf swing would be, because opponent might strike, but with Mackhachev, actually he waited until Porier lift his arm to strike, and at that point, Mackhachev did the swing. It shows high fight IQ
Miss GSP in the octagon - MMA legend! I do believe right here, right now Islam is the P4P best MMA fighter in the world, and he is getting better - now that's scary!
"We never fight the same fighters twice, we might fight the same name twice"
GSP makes me feel good to be born in Canada. Man is a class act!
What a quote ❤ ❤ ❤
@UsmanKhan-iu1ci like why?

he was, indeed, impressed by his performance
😂😂
Came here for this
"I was amazed by your performance"
Firas’s eyes glowing when GSPs around ❤
Lol I caught that as well
I actually think that Firas became extremely happy every time he mentioned Khabib. Maybe he sees a lot of similarities between GSP and Islam as well.
Always a pleasure seeing GSP, he is so humble and authentic
It’s great to see GSP still fit and healthy with his head screwed on. To make it in such a difficult sport is one thing but to retire with a healthy brain and body is another.
Agree, take the money and run they say.
That’s why they hate when khabib retired with his brain intact
GSP and Khabib have no CTE.
I can’t think of many more names.
Mike Tyson seems to be doing alright

💯 spot on. And MMA fans should enjoy watching him fight while he still does. I am 💯 a Islam fan❤❤❤
@@denmenacehell yeah!
thanks for writing this book
You couldn't have said it any better.
@@Ar1AnX1xThanks for reading and taking time to respond.
Damn the GOAT and GSP!
😂
😆
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Damn, the Goat and GSP!*
calm down
How beautiful seeing both Legends ,The 🐐 GSP and Coach together.
0:33 first time I heard Dustin's last name pronounced correctly.
I doubt Dustin pronounces it like that lol
@@jackdaniels2905 Well yeah, sure, it's been americanized through the generations, but at its origins, the name is French, with him being from Louisiana and all, same with Cormier.
@@dariusradu2369 I agree brother. Americans can't spell cheque, or say foyer correctly.
Haha nice
Yeah
I like it how Firas becomes happy whenever speaking about Khabib. Gotta get him on this show or train with him one day.
2 GOATS Casually speaking after hard training
That ankle sweep was just class eh
Love to see these two together. Always a pleasure.
Real men are always humble 🫡GSP
I love how humple gsp is and how he gives fighters their praises
I respect both of you so much for your intelligence, humility and contributions to MMA
Islam using the russian tie snap on dp's leg at a fight at such a high level to go in for the finish was absolutely insane.
Was it a Russian tie snap? Like he didn't sweep like he did with Chase Saldate, he just ankle picked DP. Or maybe a half Russian tie snap ...?
I love how islam was so smart on that gulf takedown.
He waited that Dustin land his foot, as soon as has dusting set his foot, islam quickly did the gulf thing, truly high IQ move.
actually he waited as well for Dustin to strike, as soon Dustin lift his arm, he did the swing

Great video, would like to see this type of breakdown with you and GSP more often 💯
always a pleasure to listen to you both
Excellent video
salam coach from Germany
The Goats and coach and fighter!
GSP looks 25 and talks like he's experienced 100 battles which he has. What a great and heartwarming video
Great video Coach!!!
Even after he retired he still looks better than some of the active fighters
Glad to hear the legend GSP. The move of golf swing from makhachef was a beauty.
I love these guys friendship
Impressive and great discussion Of both Legends!!!"
May God Enlighten George's path with Islam 🤲 He is a humble One☝️
Why did God not do this with Isaac Newton? Or Leibniz? Or Alexander Bell?
@@ItsameAlex If he didnt, how are they known centuries later? ;)
@@ItsameAlexor why didnt you pick a scientist or a philosopher that believed in god?

Good to see GSP and the legend!
Legend, Goat, Gentleman and a scholar!
Every time I see GSP, man those years start rolling back in front of my eyes. Absolute legend.
Yes guys, that's how "Poirier" is supposed to pronounce.
Exactement ha ha

think and do it in the 5th round, islam is truly a genius fighter
@@morpheus19 Yeah that's the point of this move it's a drill for when your opponent decides to take a swing you can swing the leg through since his balance is momentarily off
Islam has so many tricks man . He gets u somehow
So casual so technical so experts
Ooos! 🥋
The sound of the video is a bit too blown out. I'd suggest shooting somewhere quieter and turning off the wireless microphone dps sound dampening. It tend to make voices sound electronic.
Coach please do a video on what you think will happen if Jones fights Aspinall you always amaze me with your takes and depth of knowledge
this guy so humble man..
Goats recognize Goats. Real realizes real.
Just beautiful ❤❤

GSP, the first guy to ever pronounce Poirier's name correctly. Even Dustin didn't know you say it that way. haha
Love how he pronounced porier in proper french. First time I ever heard it being pronounce in French
Almost sounded like a fancy cooking ingredient
@@mgsBicycleO9you were onto something, poire in french is a fruit (pear) and poirier is the tree.
Legends
Thank you Coach and Champ
Bring GSP quite often. Please. His analysis is just so right.
the real GOAT
How are your groin muscles so flexible that your knees are touching the floor coach? What stretches do you do?
Nuances and intelligent answers.
always cool to see gsp give props to the current elite fighters
plus d'analise de la mma avec gsp en français svp
"we never fight the same fighters twice, we might fight the same name twice,....or "matt" name FIVE TIMES"
Aleikum salam to both of these two legends.
Hi Coach 🫡 when i did hyper extension a coach told me just do half reps to keep the spine straight. I told him it is light weight and it is good for the spine to bend and to go all the way up and down. But now im confused what is right? Even the neck curls should i go all the way down and up?
GSP just casually mentioning Artur beterbiev as if Artur is not the best light heavyweight boxer in world. He is KOing Dmitry bivol end of this year.
We need to see GSP grappling on Fight Pass 🙏
Hopefully he gets back on it soon
George always has good fight analysis he should fight at least one time in MMA to check it out
Two GOATs one beard
fix the sound plz
"Oouss" at the end from GSP. Still got that Japanese dojo pedigree.
Thank you coach for this!
GSP for me is the greatest of all time and it means a lot to hear those from him about my favourite fighter Islam Makhachev ❤❤
💯
How good is Firas' grappling and MMA? Can he hold his own against someone like GSP on the mat?
was waiting on GSP's views...
nice comment from GSP on how risky the golf swing would be, because opponent might strike, but with Mackhachev, actually he waited until Porier lift his arm to strike, and at that point, Mackhachev did the swing. It shows high fight IQ
'Im impressed by your performance' - GSP
My fov of all time gsp sir great person great men love u sir gsp sir is the best
GOAT X GOAT!!!!!
When GSP speaks, i listen
Always
My goal in life is to find someone that looks at me the way Coach Zahabi looks at GSP!
Legend
Lol I love how GSP says "Poarier"
Everytime he says “per for mance” I immediately hear him also say “I’m not impress with your per for mance!” Hahaha
Khabib vs Islam! The Super Fight that never was!
I love GSP!!!!! His accent is so hot! ❤🙌🏽
GSP is getting better at speaking than before
The legend GSP❤
Best in the game!
Yes coach! Love and respect ❤ 🍉✊🏽
That’s a lot of sweat I get so embarrassed as I’m a sweat box when training just gym work now loved martial arts until 63 .
The best of two world mashAllah 🦾💯
Proper Poirier pronunciation
George st pierre fight mma like his sleeping dogs video game fight choreography
we would love you to invite Islam or khabib or both in your gym or maybe grapple with them💪
Thank you GSP the GOAT 🐐🫡
Islam vs gaethje would be great to see next
Georges 'X-Factor' St. Pierre.
3:22 Artur Beterbiev ❤
I can see why nobody hate on GSP
Miss GSP in the octagon - MMA legend!
I do believe right here, right now Islam is the P4P best MMA fighter in the world, and he is getting better - now that's scary!
Goat
How much it cost to train with you guys
Tristar specifically
Google
Audio sucks but amazing content
I HATE the fact we never got to see GSP vs Khabib few years ago - even if it was at a catchweight, sucks.
Need me a woman that smiles at like how Firas smiles at GSP
damn yall tooo quick gentlemen and scholars in the chaaat
