I totally agree. Many times fighters will try to minimize the resistance the experienced in tough fights or at best give a small tip of the hat of recognition. But here, Islam doesn’t hold back and says the exact truth, that those guys were actually tougher than he though and his toughest fights yet. Which is true, we all saw those fights. We saw how he bled. But we also so him win.
He is a very calm an chill guy, almost most as if he is tired of beat everyone's as at 155 lol, but honestly I prefer khabib's controled but at times very agressive nature and persona.

Wonderful interview. On a sidenote, I knew Belal was going to beat Leon Edwards, when I saw that his training partners were Khabib, Islam, Umar and Usman. That is a killers row of fighters.
DC and Islam Makachev interviews are always a treat, love the chill vibe between them! Islam vs Arman 2 is going to be epic, the perfect way to kick off 2025 for UFC. 👏
DC has to interview fighters from Dagestan. Women are not allowed to ask questions to men in Dagestan. If Megan did the interview, Islam would not participate - he would just say “why you outside and not locked in basement like Dagestani woman?”

@@benh9935fr, I know his base is greco roman, but the dagis wrestling is elite, people forget how much khabib dominated people with wrestling backgrounds
2025 going to be Dagestani's year. Umar beats Merab. Islam beats Arman and moves up. Usman goes to UFC and dominate the lightweight. Umar takes on upper weight class and beats Topuria. Ankalaev submits Pereira and Khamzat submits DDP. So, almost all divisions Dagestanis are dominating.
Tsarukyan vs Makhachev 2 is going to be a classic. Khabib plays safe, Makhachev takes risk and that's why we can say tsarukyan has a chance in this fight.
The Nurmagomedov Dynasty is the greatest ever in sports, started by Abdulmanap & cemented by Khabib, Islam, Umar, Usman & many to come. Sidenote kHamzat double champ soon

He has a legitimate loss.he cant be pound for pound….that goes to someone else.try again

@@RicardoLuna-re9qyohh your talking about the ‘heavyweight champ’ 😂 sorry ducks can’t be #1 pfp. Only dominant, undisputed champions.
Thank you Dana for not letting Nina take these kind of interviews 🙏🏻
Islam would never ever.
"Brother, genetics. You know what genetics?"
Bro, Islam has improved his English so much, he's even asking DC if he knows this, lol. Last time he used the word "analytics" on DC. Lol. 😂❤
Bahahahahaaa
DC can't even remember that Islam finished Volk once, not twice. And this is on ESPN
He’s doing that on purpose to poke at Islam. It’s part of his humor.
Cruz was right
@@FutureMillionairesClubbnah I think he’s just a little slow
Poirier did go out from the Darce too. Not for long but he did. And DC knows it as well, he’s always messing with the boys from AKA.
@@bigpapironiI'm gonna go with the double champ instead of bigpapironi 😭🤣😭
9:53 "It's gonna be good for you brother. lose weight" 😂
It's not funny. DC is in danger of death.
soo humble. no mention of his staph infection vs dustin
Why so many staph infections with these guys? Do they not wash hands or keep the gyms hygenic?
@@dewalddewet759 they wash their feet a day more often than 95% of westeners their face in a week.🤣
@@dewalddewet759 you are to weak to understand it. You dont now what really hard work is.
@@bartekgorniak5758 Mmmm. Now that was a very intelligent answer. You sound like an extremely stable human being.
@@dewalddewet759so many?? Didn't it only happen once with Islam??
“I knew 6 months ago we would fight as he is the number 1 contender”
Jon Jones should have this fact pointed out to him.
Nah, Jones deserves the max payday for that fight as he should.
12:42 wholesome stuff, they’re really boys like that
Yeah thats real man. Islam is a good man.
Best example of high level MMA
5:57 ✨no no it's not true ✨
Gotta love Islam he’s a beast
😂 I wonder if he knows how funny that sht is when he says stuff like that.
@@kdavis623 he's funny guy naturally
Wonderful interview. On a sidenote, I knew Belal was going to beat Leon Edwards, when I saw that his training partners were Khabib, Islam, Umar and Usman. That is a killers row of fighters.
Khabib didn't retire just to fulfill his mom's wishes, but he wanted to pave the way for Islam instead of having to fight his brother. Beautiful
Respect brotherhood at its finest
DC and Islam Makachev interviews are always a treat, love the chill vibe between them!
Islam vs Arman 2 is going to be epic, the perfect way to kick off 2025 for UFC. 👏
Islam's English improved soo much, "same things, one times, sumpbition skills .. I love it. 😂😂😂 i can't wait for Jan fight.
jan blachowicz?
He even said GENETICS😂
@@fjdjdjdndksks January
Finally someone that asks questions we want answered instead of someone that just talks about themselves 24/7... (bisping)
Islam respecting another legend like Volk is great to see
9:33 Islam legit trying to convince DC to come and control Khabib was the most funny part
I will always tune in to any interview with D.C. and any fighter from Dagestan. It's always special, funny, and so real.
DC has to interview fighters from Dagestan. Women are not allowed to ask questions to men in Dagestan.
If Megan did the interview, Islam would not participate - he would just say “why you outside and not locked in basement like Dagestani woman?”
Dagestani women are the most secure women in the world.. queen of the house.. even the great khabib scare to his mother than his father
@
Nope, their cave-dwelling goat-marrying Neanderthals……………. But thanks for trying to put a positive spin on it, Buddy.
1:24 he did not finish Volk twice?
This guy is number one Dagestani glazer he don't even think while speaking when it comes to them
he probably just misspoke
He is smoking chicken bones
He said the same thing somewhere else as well... Volk was putting it on Islam...
He could've finished volk anytime but choose not to
Islam: " Finish all question in 2nd fight , n make the everybody shut up. "😂😂😂😂
islam talks abt opponents: 👍🏻🗿🫡
islam talks abt khabib’s training session: 😥😨😰☠️⚠️
This right here is true humbleness and humility. Great example
Arman has improved since then yes but who was his challengers? Islam is gonna show the level of improvement hes had and itll show why hes the king of 155.
A VERY close win against Oliveira thats kinda it
Arman actually fought a very difficult schedule. Not a lot of big names but all very tough fighters.
@@lukeinvictusya but Islam is still on a different level
@@lukeinvictusevery ranked lightweight is a tough fighter so terrible excuse I don’t see Arman doing anything he is just a worst version of Islam
@@ThatOnlineAsian I'm confused what you mean by excuse, excuse for what? I'm just saying that compared to many other top fighters, his list of opponents faced is relatively tough.
DC always says islam finished volk twice 🤦♂️Somebody tell dc to fix his wording or remind him how that first fight went
It’s sad cause everyone forgot what volk did that first fight. Proved all the doubters. Hes my goat
Also remember Islam wasnt allowed to rehydrate. Thats why volk looked so good lol
@@kraw3026that’s why? 😂
Yeah Islam won 49-46
@@MONSTAMILKCEOOf course just look at the result of the second fight once he wasn't dehydrated and don't bring up the short notice because Volk agreed to fight and also Islam was going to fight Charles Oliveria polar opposites
Used to think this guy was boring but hes actually became more exciting as champion when usually your more exciting as u are making your run towards the title
❤️ 🔥 Islam... Can watch him from start to finish and not get bored... Interesting guy
Keep interviewing Islam 😂♥️♥️♥️♥️
We can’t get enough of him talking 🤣♥️
his english getting way better lol
Itll probably take him going to 170 to have a tougher fight than that first Volk fight.
topuria. shorter guy with good base than can defend takedowens like volk did in first fight. with the power to actually hurt islam unlike volk. id favor islam in the fight but its honestly a 53/47 fight for me. could see topuria defending takedowns and catching islam against the cage Koing him
Bryce Mitchell took Ilia down in the middle of the cage and controlled him for over a minute, people are overestimating Ilia’s defensive wrestling.
@@benh9935fr, I know his base is greco roman, but the dagis wrestling is elite, people forget how much khabib dominated people with wrestling backgrounds
@@ThanatossssxI really wanted to see what Khabib Usman would've looked like, shame it couldn't materialise as they were good friends
@@KevOfPeendue to size advantage I think 65-35. At lightweight ko power will be diminished idk how much but will be diminished.
He’s the best in the world!! He needs to be double champ
He will submit Arman. Then he will be double champion
Its beautiful to watch the sincere friendship these two men have. A great example
For everyone.
2025 going to be Dagestani's year. Umar beats Merab. Islam beats Arman and moves up. Usman goes to UFC and dominate the lightweight. Umar takes on upper weight class and beats Topuria. Ankalaev submits Pereira and Khamzat submits DDP. So, almost all divisions Dagestanis are dominating.
Tsarukyan vs Makhachev 2 is going to be a classic. Khabib plays safe, Makhachev takes risk and that's why we can say tsarukyan has a chance in this fight.
Shut up you kooomar.
this is what in every indians mind
@@brandonlawrence55so what do fent baby white boys think
@@kimbopizzaslice go watch your bollywood bs fight business is not for you lot

@@GevorgDavtyan-q5s
Islam will win again
The Nurmagomedov Dynasty is the greatest ever in sports, started by Abdulmanap & cemented by Khabib, Islam, Umar, Usman & many to come.
