Only if all coaches were this mature and respectful and full of knowledge.
It doesn't come instant, he's been coaching more than 25 years.
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.
Khabibs father made them the guys they are javier is a striking coach and only is with them 20% of the year.
@@erik5969 true, but he did make Cain and DC. Not only those Dagestani
@sgx Did you even watch the video dude?
He said “Father’s plan” is for the ground game, the original plan was to stay up on feet, but “Father’s plan” or the ground game worked in their favor.
Javier is the greatest coach of all time. Khabib, Cain, Luke, and DC all won championships and in DC's case two.
Edit: And now Islam. Javier Mendez is the undisputed GOAT Coach now.
Trevor wittman
@@gamebred6995 not nearly as successful as Javier Mendez.
@@PhileasFogg yea but usman doesn't defend that many times without Trevor. And rose won it again with him. Gaethje won the interim from Ferguson.
Even bj peen won his title at aka
Aka training must be hell
Javi is jus always so laid back and chill. Considering his stable of killers, past and present
Exactly why you'd be calm and laid back.
Yes unlike the narcissist Trevor Whitman or yes man John Kavanagh
@@lqtaher2 narcissistic Trevor c'mon !! Yes man John it's fair 😅
@@lqtaher2 bro you are hating big time.
InshaAllah Father Plan ☝️
Respect both Islam and Charles
Coach Javier you are blessed and a super special human being. Khabib sees you as a father figure and respects you for all your help with his needs. I am sending you my gratitude for allowing me to visit your gym and seeing first hand Khabib's team train there. God bless you all it's refreshing to know that you're so humble 🙏🙏🙏
SIMP
I have trained @ Aka and this a lame, somewhat creepy comment
@@Anidoesstuff 📚
@@nellygonzalezMMA you are cringe
Great n humble coach.
What a genuine and real discussion between two well known personalities in the MMA world. Ariel doing a good job asking the right questions to Javier. Thank both of you gentlemen.
It's no wonder why all those guys love Javier as a coach. He is a great guy, great coach.
One of the funniest khabib stories. "Relax means go hard" LOL
What a person Javier is. Such an inspiration. 🙏🏻
We have one person who came from nothing in Brazil and worked his way up, and one person who came from a hard place like Dagestan, “real mountain”, a fight where no trash talk is needed for build up because of the skill sets they both have. I can’t wait for Saturday afternoon
Didn't expect to see Javier on this show, but it was nice hearing some stories. Hope the team gets the job done, too much politics by the UFC... Everyone has to basically trash talk or speak up quite loud to get a title shot or else they're ignored.
Not true. Did charles?
@@loopvil369 No, but Charles wasn't relevant until he beat Tony who has had amongst the worst management team in MMA history and picked wrong fights during his losing streak... Nobody was willing to fight Islam unlike Tony who fought Charles when he didn't need to that but good for Charles...
Well said bro
I love coach. He ALWAYS gives others credit. Seems to be very humble.
Humble coach.. bring back the podcast!!
Great interview!
I'm never sure if ariel is sincere or not.
😂😂 so true
Ariel is a snake😳
he always is and he never is , a complicated character
🐍🐍🐍
Yeah it's such a shame you can't really be a top level journalist in MMA without kissing ass
Why Ariel ask what’s “ Fathers plan” and why does Javier act as if it’s some genius like secret. Father’s plan =take down, control, smash. 🤷🏼♂️
No, it's not smh. Every fighter has a different skillset and therefore different "father's plan"
its the details. Details how to take down, control and smesh.
@@JaegerMaster agreed. I just like to poke fun at Ariel and Javier anytime I hear him say Father’s plan. Yes I agree with you I’m sure it’s more than what I said.
@@Gabriel-vg5qv settle down stop shaking your head. Just poking at Ariel and Javier.
stopped smh
The most humble coach ever
Always such a class act , Javier is a great human and a fantastic coach !
Islam time ☝️☝️☝️
27:18 - LOL Ariel turning it into a therapy session
Great line of questioning. Awesome Interview.
Nice interview with details about Islam Team.
coach Javier is so respectful
What a thorough gentleman
Javier is always spot on 👍
Javier Mendez is the goat
And Also,Islam And Khabib is The REAL Legends of American Kickboxing Academy ever
@@muhammadwahyuhidayat21498 DC too man. And Cain. They were champs before Khabib and Islam had a name
@@muhammadwahyuhidayat21498 what a weird comment to make. Especially when there are known four kings of AKA.
Khabib is the Goat. 29-0, he never took damage, only lost one round his entire career, dominated his opponent every fight, and now a master of coaching others to continue his legacy. Islam will continue the Goat, Khabib's, legacy 🦅🦅🦅
Coach is on a straight media tour for this fight lol he's been on every show
Been invited*
@@bz829
Absolutely, it seems like he is accepting every invitation though it's nice to see him so much
@@taylorskidmore2760 exactly. He can say “no” lol Javier knows what he’s doing.
@@rrogers2370 it's a part of promoting the fight
*Generous*
What an awesome man, Coach Menzies!
this man gives the most interviews in mma
Insha'Allah
And The New
Islam Makachev is New Championship of Lightweight Division.
Javier is the man!!!!!!!
Javier really gives more of a life mentor vibe than actual coach, and I think that's probably what makes him different
Coach Javier I never see him tension. Soo calm Coach 👍👍👍
This fight is going to be at a high magnitude. All amazing fighters with their own unique background fighting for a greater purpose. 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.
When Ariel referred to Khabib as the Super star, I still remember the days when he khabib would stalk Pettis and DosAnjos when he was being ignored for the title shot.. time freakin flies
Such a lovely man. This is why he hits it off with the Dagestanisand they love him.
thats what a true coach sounds like (sorry for bad english)
Coach you are the best 👑
Respect Coach Javier 🤙🏽
No wonder why khabib, DC and Islam see Javier Mendes as a father and not as a coach. See the khabib Tshirt Javier is wearing. This Man is the greatest coach I have ever seen and this is why he coached Many champions from different ethnicities around the world.
Legend
This man has had so many champions in MMA... BJ Penn, Frank Shamrock, Cain Velasquez, Luke Rockhold, Daniel Cormier & Khabib... Crazy if Islam becomes another one.
He should be a more known & respected figure within California/Bay Area culture.
Love Khabib
A VERY INTERESTING INTERVIEW. PLEASURE 2 LISTEN.
Legend coach🙌🏻
Mr Javier. Khabib thinks great about you, the only reason for that
is that you are GREAT......
Free cain
And Javier Mendez happy for Islam Makachev wins his belt.
Coach Javier is the greatest american coach of all time!! Well, only second to the Goat, Coach Fabian.
LOL
For real though Coach Jav deserves a lot of credit and much respect for being a ride or die for his fighters.
Andrew Rios.__ GOOD ONE BROTHER.
Who's Fabian?
@@mannyblackstar joshua fabia
that's like saying everytime i saw my brother i looked the other way haha
Javier is way too humble for a man who coaches maybe the most succesful gym in modern mma history.
thats funny cause on the UFC 280 countdown Islam says "in my mind I want to be like Khabib"
He means as a person.
Wanting to be person is being a fan of him as a person and fighter. You don't need to copy to be like someone as long as you bring in the same values within yourself and being name to his village.
He wants to be like Khabib but not copy him. Wth is hard to understand there
Khabis is a champion..and he want to be like khabib as a champion..
I was thinking the same but I figured it out that he wants he like Khabib as a person. Islam has said before in interviews that I want to be me and make a legacy
What was the video of Javier resolving a problem?
Javier is the man
Frank Shamrock, Cain, Rockhold, DC and Khabib. That’s pretty wild.
The day master puts down his hammer and feels he has reached the top is the day he turns into nothing. Javier is best cause he never stops.
One step closer to getting Khabib back on
I though coach Jav avoided getting interviewed by Ariel
Islam Striking has improved tremendously coz of this AKA Patron. great coach
go Islam!!
I love that javier has respect for Khabib's (sunni) Islam beliefs and actions. Javier mendez is a great coach. Respect!
Great coach with yoda knowledge
He is the Glen Sather of Mma. Best Coach and Scout there is.
It’s Islams turn to Reign 💯
This whole fight is about Islam vs Charles but the title still somehow includes Khabib. Islam will never escape being khabibs shadow. Like every other sentence Khabib is brought up for some reason
26:21 mafia boss energy
Wheres the time stamps ariel wtf
Seems like everyone’s forgot about kane I thought you would’ve mentioned his name at least once when they mention the Hall of Fame
I love coach Javier! But the story about Khabib and the word relax, you gotta relax with it now coach😂 It's in every interview😂
because they always asks same Q
no one knew islam better other than coaches javier & khabib 😂😂😂 and they’re 110 % on the point 👍👍👍
Coach looks like the one bro from rocket power
19:32 I like this
Coach Javier the only guy from the Ali camp talking to Ariel by now.
Not anymore. Lol which is dumb typical rat on Ali's part.
Agree with Coach Javier, Charles will win on the stand up, but ground nah nah.
Abdulmanap HYPEEEEE
lets go islam
Doesn't Matter Who go Get to Face ISLAM 22/10/22
BRING IT ON..
LET GO!!!!
INSYAALLAH ☝️🏆
I think Moises would beat Charles when Dobronx goes on his decline later in his career.
I would Islam Makachev is the New Champion of Lightweight Division over the Curse From Bronx,New York City is Charles Oliveira lost His Title at UFC 280.
😂😂😂🤣
Will Ariel convert to Islam saturday night?
Islam is Khabib 2.0.
Javier has professional attitude and is too much focused person therefore he gets satisfied with success but never delighted. His nature is "Good job done" instead of "yeah I did it".
What was the nickname we need to make it real
THE GREATEST MMA COACH EVER
i watch every hav interview, such a good guy
Anyone else see how ariel talks to people like they're kids?
Release my boy CAIN!!!!!!!!!
Will Khabib be coming back? There is video (embedded/anatomy of fighter) that show fighter weight cut. Khabib made a face and he said "I am not going to do that again". If there no weight cut, I think only then Khabib will be back.
AkaJav Respect
Islam makhachev time ⏲️🙌
Khamzat copied Khabib more than Islam
he's a good muslim...
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 ..
Helwani wants to ask why Khabib hates me . Not much controversy slacking Ariel .
Why did u not ask about cain
LATE ABDULMANAP LEGACY IF GODS WILL !!!
Islams fight name is GOAT 🐐
coach jav so chill
Javier is a uncle Iroh for the people
