- Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Justin Gaethje was an explosive bout where Khabib was able to not only strike with Gaethje but dominate the grappling. How did Gaethje approach the fight? Where did Khabib get the better of the striking? How did Khabib submit Gaethje?

Khabib retired undefeated and undisputed with the greatest record in the UFC.
29-0
Defeated 4 Lightweight Champions
Defended the belt 3 times
Only lost one round
He is one of the greatest fighters of all time.
Is Conor vs Dustin gonna be for the belt now?
This begs the question, how great is Gregor Gillespie? 🤔
@@jeremygroves802 not as good as Kevin lee
I'm calling him the goat after this performance. He's got nothing else to prove, only person I think who can pass him is Izzy.
This begs the question how good was Kevin Lee?
The way Khabib was walking down Gaethje without respecting his striking was legit shocking, dude looked like a madman
Mhmmm
Ducking rematch with Conor, the only one to take a round off him, and known to improve significantly in a rematch after a loss (as in rematch against Nate). Pretty lame to me.

@arshad mahmood and i am guessing you are pakistani!
@Аниме на всю жизнь !!!! yeah, for the 29th time in a row...
@Аниме на всю жизнь !!!! yeah just like he got lucky 28 other times! grow up!
@Аниме на всю жизнь !!!! yeah and you got crying
We are so lucky to have witnessed this man compete.
Yes sir, you’re exactly right!
He is extremely impressive and there’s no telling how much more he can do that we didn’t even get to see!! His typical fighting has always been effective and didn’t even have to get into his other skills. You have to respect him and can’t help but feel for him.... can’t imagine continuing without his father and what he’s going through currently.
OVERRATED!!
@@jessedebter4408 It’s unfortunate that he was so far ahead of his peers that we never got to see him pushed. But even Khabib displaying his comfortable game was a masterclass.
@totalbottle haha butthurt conor fanboy
@totalbottle 😂 yet your comment is so casual. Conor won’t do crap after that mauling he received from Khabib. You fan girls are delusional
Gaethje looked absolutely exhausted almost immediately.
YES!
@Neurolicious You're not wrong about that. It's almost as if the anxiety of being taken down makes his opponents empty their batteries before it happens. And when it does happen, he smesh dem.
Gassout easily too much pressure from khabib everybody's gassout easily when they fight khabib that is facts.
Big adrenalin dump from physical and mental pressure
Even a bit green in the face
Dam what a beast, bad cut, broke foot, broken heart and against the worst guy for him still gets it done and gets it done in super style. Best ever.
Justin isn’t the most dangerous guy for khabib. This was an easy fight to predict
fitforlife
You smartass of course it was very easy when you look back after everything is done
@@BR-cx7wy I’ve been saying this since Justin beat tony. Justin was eventually going to give his back off instinct and get choked out. Duh. It really wasn’t hard to predict at all. So many people thought Justin actually had a chance lol because of his “d1 wrestling”
You are right , how can anyone train and cut weight with a broken foot ? He is a Goat .
@@raybusiness8552 are you serious? Many fighters do all the time I’m sure.
I don’t want him to come back. The world needs an honest, humble, quiet professional killer who rides off into the sunsets on top of his game not chasing money and fame. #LEGENDARY
This video is about Khabib, why are you talking about Henry Cejudo?
Never seen someone as quiet and humble as cejudo . Triple C forever
I really don't think its about money or fame for Khabib, i mean he HAS all that in spades. He is rich and VERY very big especially in Russia and the middle east. No if he comes back it will be for the GSP as per his late fathers wishes. Im hoping.
@@DeKostaLet’s say he comes back in a few years and loses a decision to GSP. Would it have been worth it? In my opinion, no, not even if it was his father’s dream. He’s “a man of his word” and he promised his mom that he wouldn’t come back without his father. Forgoing the dreams, fame, status, to honor your mother, that’s old school biblical respect that’s unseen in today’s world.
@Аниме на всю жизнь !!!! Doesn’t change anything. He still won.
Habib is like a Saiyan, he becomes stronger and better after each fight.
I believe a prime time Khabib makes no sense against a almost 40 year old GSP with 2 fights in the last 7 years. GSP is always in shape but c'mon. Khabib will easily win this fight
@s bright true, GSP is a easy win for Habib
GSP's style doesn't rely heavily on explosion and reaction time, so I think he'll be fine.
Khabib would smash even prime gsp.. mma have evolved.. anyone who dont wgree with me is either casual or oldhead who cant accept the evolution of mma! Mma fighters are evolving so much after 10 years mma fighter will be so good current fighters will look like amateurs compare to them
For real
@@ArjanTV I love GSP versatility but Khabib is an alien, he will drown him! U just fighting with a "rubber" man😅he fought with a broken goot😅😅😅
29 fight winstreak, most 10-8 rounds in ufc history, never got dropped, never got cut and finished 3 killers in a row. We witnessed greatness. Thank you Khabib and Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov.

Salaam my Sikh cousin from PK
when GSP is impressed with your performance, you know you did good....
The posting Khabib did was the most shocking thing to me. He's definitely a more advanced striker than he's given credit for
He had done it before this, but yes.
Yeah, I remember being shocked when he knocked Conner down with a punch. I knew he threw hands but that was a good shot I did not expect him to stand and land against Conner.
also cage cutting. He used flying knees and the eagle punch to eat up the distance, pushing him to the fence. Thats why i always responded to people, that said gathje wont back up, that its not like his opponents magically are magnetised to the fence, khabib uses tools to push u there.
@@dans6127 its because he hides his striking behind the threat of the takedown.
thank you, why ppl are saying Justin outstruck khabib and looked better is beyond me, not all his punches landed only about two, look whose face was beaten up.
That picture of Khabib collapsed in the middle of the octagon while Gaethje is just waking up and being attended to will go down as an iconic picture in sports history.
Hope so. Khabib is a once in a life time athlete who deserves much more respect from the professional sports world.
when a man cries, very few can relate or offer compassion.
No, it will not.
@@BrandonTheCommando why would it not? Khabib is a stone cold individual who we have very rarely seen emote anything. After one of the best performances of his life he collapses finally able to let it all out and for his father. He then retires undefeated and probably p4p #1 as of right now with Jones gone. He is one of the most famous Russian athletes and MMA is becoming quite main stream. I don’t see why this isn’t iconic.
@@shushanthswinderballs1122 trolls are full of hate of anyone achieving their goals. comes with the territory

He almost won. But he didn't. LOL
I will miss hearing khabib's words of wisdom. He changed a lot of things in the ufc and I hope the other fighters will continue to show respect for each other and not go back to the shit show that it was. Not sure if we will ever be blessed with another man like khabib but we can hope. He changed my mind about muslims and Islam and I'm sure I'm not alone on that one.

Now he might be the #1 role-model in all of sports. I hope I can teach my kids to have morals like him. No longtime fan of this sport can deny his greatness and it's so hard to accomplish that in MMA. Thank you very much, Eagle. You made us as fans, and of course your father, very proud.

Tony was rob every time suck for him. Khabib is the champ best the world has ever seen.
Sad I'll never get to see it, but I don't think Khabib would have too many issues with Tony. I think that Tony might give him his first cut tho
Winner of Conor and Dustin needs to fight Justin for the vacant belt
Tony is always getting the short end of the stick
Tony fans so dumb that guy has no chance tony looks more like a retired fighter than khabib if u look at performance
I have never seen a humble man like this khabib for the rest of my life even though he is so famous and champion and an undefeated 29-0 but he shows his greatness through his daily life and never put tattoo like others star and never talk bad and shit towards other. And one thing I remember he respect his parent like no one else could. You're my role model and one of your fan right from the first fight that I have seen. You really have won millions of hearts all around the world and taught a good lesson to all the champion. I like one thing from you that you don't value much about money but instead you value your life and religion and stay humble. We all around the world will miss you and respect your decision.

I never seen Gathje scared to let his hands go like he did tonight. What a performance by Khabib
Did you not watch the video? He let them go too desperately. No straight punches... What about the corner footage? Trevor whittman was urging him to slow down lol. Meaning stop swinging for the fences
He wasnt scared smh he was pumped and like nervous but not scared
Any mistake by Justin , he will be caught. Khabib can just catch your toe to finish you. Justin kicked khabib’s leg and it was his end because khabib grabbed him and you know what happened
@@OffSuboxonePainFree I mean his body was in defense even when he threw it wasn’t with power it was just to create separation
@@domsugar9160 I felt he was worried about the wrestling an for sure worried about not getting on the cage wall
My heart broke when he cried. Bless him
"Khabib submitted him Like it was an instructional video" literally Savage! And i subscribed because the man does an amazing job at analyzing this fight. Good job fam.
"Set it up like an instructional video.." Weasle goin hard 🤣
Bro. Khabib made it look so easy. Like wtf
Have to give it to the Weasle. He predicted Gaethje’s exact wrestling reactions and instincts near perfectly. 👏
Edit: I’m not calling any fighter a weasle. I’m talking about how TheWeasle (as in the youtuber who made this video) made a great analysis 🤦♂️
weasle never disappoints. However, this wasn't a hard call to make if you ask me.Gaethje said it himself, 'if i get backed up to the fence im screwed'. Josh thomson even heard i rumour that justin doesnt even train bjj
You spelt 'eagle' wrong matty-boy
I have been saying many times, never kick a wreslter, they will grab your leg, and you're going down
We all kinda predicted that tho..
29-0 , no weasel all skill.keyboard fighters lol
Khabib was incredible, but Gaithje's BJJ was non-existent. Once he was on the ground, he looked like a fish out of water.
Yeah that strategy of giving up his back didn't work so well
@kevin smith not as easily tho
Gathje Lacks bjj completely
Dayun Khabib's level is so higher above than the rest of the lightweight
"White belt" - Nate Diaz
Was basically a black belt vs a white belt
He's not coming back, he made a promise to his mother and he's a man of honor so he'll keep that promise!
Unless his mother changes her mind then he would not of broken his promise.
@@abdullahahmad9300 Agreed
Khabib will pressure you to make a mistake, then constrict you like a snake. What a beast!

It’s actually heartbreaking we never saw both of them fight. It’s hypothetically the best fight on paper for me.
Yep Tony and khabib are the toughest fighters in the ufc. They’re built different from everyone else- would’ve loved to see them fight,
I hate to say it but tony would lose my man
Gsp vs Anderson
@@please6515 yeah and I think he’s the worst matchup for khabib
Can’t believe so many picked against Khabib and he makes it look easy, he made Gaethje look ordinary
Sports books had Justin as such a massive underdog it s was crazy not to pick him
@@lambynighttrain sports books had Justin as such an underdog due to an overwhelming number of people picking khabib. Lines move with the money.
@North American CZcamsr At least you were being honest
Majority of the fighters in social media where picking JG to win..
@Darren the girlilla Till So what?
To beat Khabib you need a guy with:
1. High anaerobic threshold.
I think this is where most people mistake "good cardio" to be the answer. Cardio can mean many things. It can mean VO2 Max, Max Heart Rate, Resting Heart Rate, Heart Rate Recovery, or Anaerobic Threshold.
Those last two are what matter the most for fighters, and Anaerobic Threshold in particular is what matters the most against guys like Khabib.
What’s important to a fighter is not percentage of maximum heart rate or VO2 max, it’s whether they are at their Anaerobic Threshold, above it, or below it. That’s what determines the exhaustion effect and how quickly or slowly someone gasses out.
Your Anaerobic Threshold is a heart beat range that represents the hardest you can work, without ever having to slow down.
Going above this threshold will mean you’re on borrowed time before you’ll need to reduce the amount of power and effort you’re putting in. Spending a significant time above this threshold makes for a hard session.
Working below this threshold means you are taking it relatively easy and you’ll not be stressing the body significantly.
A good way to not only discover your Anaerobic Threshold heart rate, but also the amount of power you can currently produce, is to run as far as you possibly can in 12-minutes (a Cooper run), and measure your average heart rate over the whole test.
That average heart rate will be your Anaerobic Threshold, and the distance you covered represents the amount of power you can currently produce at that threshold.
Having trained for years in the mountains of Dagestan, Khabib appears to have a considerably higher Anaerobic Threshold than all his opponents and he knows how to use it to his advantage. His high pressure fighting style pushes his opponents way beyond their own Anaerobic Thresholds, quickly draining their gas tanks once they hit that mark even as Khabib himself continues to cruise within his higher Threshold. Once there, Khabib makes sure not to step off the gas so as to completely drain his opponents as quickly as possible, before he starts going in for submission attempts or heavy ground and pound.
2. Quick hands with a powerful lead jab and upper cuts.
Straight down the pipe punches when Khabib tries to step into range, and low to high punches or knees when he ducks low will ensure much higher landing accuracy and damage than hooks or overhands which are much easier to spot and have a longer distance to travel in order to get to their target.
3. Teep kicks.
Conor used this with a mild degree of success. But none of Khabib's other opponents have utilized teep kicks to keep him at distance. A teep, unlike lateral kicks or leg kicks exposes very little of the calf length of the leg which in turn gives a wrestler much less chance to grab it and turn it into a trip or a takedown.
4. Solid trunk strength and lower body strength + a High level of skill in takedown defence and sprawls.
Yes, Khabib will still probably get the TD eventually but you want to make him work for it. You don't want to go down with the first attempt. Or even the fourth.
And you want to do a LOT of deadlifts and kettlebell swings to build that core strength. It might not be enough to overpower him, but it sure as hell will make you better at dealing with his weight shifts and prolong the takedown process and reduce his efficacy.
5. Solid transitional defence on the ground.
I am stunned by how quickly guys like Gaethje, Poirier, Conor let him progress on position once the TD is completed. Worse, they even end up giving their backs easily.
If you're going to stand a chance against Khabib post-TD, you will have to be lightning quick with the adjustments. Go to full guard or rubber guard even if it means giving up escape routes or taking some strike damage. Don't let him cinch up the legs. Lock him into guard and pull his torso in instead of avoiding it, close the distance, lose the round but make him work for every inch of transition. If you're in a hurry to get out of his grip, he's gonna drown you further in his web. Rather, lean into it.
Hold his upper body close, lock the guard, fight the micro adjustments, return strikes with strikes. Lose the round but don't let him progress to a better position.
6. Outstanding situational awareness and framing.
You CANNOT let Khabib back you up against the cage. You have to earn his respect early on by landing strikes. The battle of the spirit is won or lost within the first two minutes. DON'T play the waiting game. Don't try to spend too long trying to read him and then react. Control the frame right out the gate even if you take some hits in the process.
If needed, just throw teeps, jabs and upper cuts repeatedly while hopping in and out of range.
Conor probably did the best job at controlling the frame. He kept his back away from the fence for prolonged periods, even controlled the centre of the octagon and forced Khabib to shoot low probability attempts.
Part of the reason for that was because his striking reputation preceded him, and Khabib gave it its due respect. With most other fighters, Khabib just throws caution to the wind and walks them down.
But after the first round, Conor did a sloppy job of defending those TD attempts and an even worse job of closing guard once the TD got through.
--
Is there any fighter on the planet that posesses, or can possibly train himself into possessing all these skills?
As of today, GSP is the only one in the world that I can think of.
Let's see if Khabib comes out of retirement to fulfil his father's wish to see him fight GSP and retire at 30-0.
It'll be one for the ages.
No u need a gun
That’s almost Charles Olivera
The only way Khabib is coming back is if his mother lets him fight.
His pressure was immense he is GOATED now.
What does that mean lol
pavel datsyuk recently a lot of people have been using it to say someone is very elite at what they do, or GOATED in it
@@definitelynotjiraiya5063 thanks . was wondering cause I thought it was a negative thing . Damn kids
I'm sorry, I just don't understand how a dude with four title fights can be goat status. I understand Khabib is a great fighter, but how many great people has he really fought? Only his last three fights. Dude fought once a year, that's not goat status in my eyes.
Gaethje wrecked Tony, and Khabib beat him like it was nothing.
Gaethje, won when he went over to Khabib after his loss to say "you made your father proud". Gaethje is the future of UFC and is a humble man. Khabib retires and takes the title of the ultimate goat into oblivion.
He won’t be considered as the future as he lost to his contemporary. GSP, Matt Huge, Silva, Cain were all the best in their era but Gaethje’s era will always be overshadowed by his loss to Khabib. I do believe that he will become a champion one day but won’t be the GOAT unless he takes revenge against his loss to Khabib which , unfortunately, won’t happen. These are facts and is coming out from someone who is a huge Gaethje fan.
@@arjitkumarprince5537 i love both of them, but i think Justin doesn't even care if Khabib won, because he knows that Khabib is hard to be defeated and he is not the first person to lose to him.
7:54 to lift someone sprawling from that position takes tremendous amount of power. Man Khabis is just beyond everyone else.
And so another master of his craft exits the arena. I've had the privilege of witnessing greatness in so many sports during my lifetime. The amazing thing is someone always steps in to fill the void. Khabib leaves with his dignity and flawless record intact. I appreciate the excitement his bouts generated and will miss his presence in the octagon.
GOAT. No quesions. Never hurt, never in danger in most stacked division, dominant, not even a little scratch on his face.
he was a great pound for pound fighter. pound for pound = would get knocked out by bigger men. real men. manlets are not close to being the GOAT.

We got to witness someone who myths are written about. Wrestled a bear as a kid, retired with a perfect record.
khabib never came for fame or money, understand this that it was something far above and meaningful, he was never alone, his whole family always supported him, it was like very close tight bonds and values, since his father is no more and his mom doesnt want to see him alone in the ring and he has already achieved what he came for......there is no reason for him to be back, he was never after money or fame.... a true legend, unbeatable warrior....thats why you dont mess with russians! long live the eagle!
Am not ashamed to say I cried when khabib did, lost of one parent is a huge burden to carry, and despite that the guy delivered!! You will forever be remembered as the #1
Khabib is up their with the greats, his legacy is cemented. Truly one of the greatest to ever grace an octagon. We have to be grateful to that we witnessed fighters like GSP, Silva, khabib etc because maybe 20 years for now people will like "damn, that era of mma was sick, i born in the wrong generation" but we get to witness stuff like this so be grateful guys.

jeeeeezzzz
Did you just go to all the UFC videos and post the same quote?
Thanks for that, bad ass quote. Khabib is a true Warrior
Cringe
What a badass quote
*That was one of the most beautiful takedown + submission i've ever seen.*
1. Justin tried to stop single/double-leg takedown by flattening on his chest.
Khabib did a great job by transitioning into back mount.
2. Justin tried to escape the leg hook to stop the choke, which Khabib again did a great job of transitioning into full mount.
3. Before the end of first round, Khabib already attempted Arm-bar, and Justin tried to hold on to his arm.
This time, again, Khabib grabbed Justin's right arm, Justin tried to hold onto it.
4. Khabib's already got multiple submissions, he could go for arm-triangle or even gogo plata, but at this position, Justin gave away his left arm by trying to protect his right arm which was under pressure of arm-bar. So, Khabib went for the triangle by skipping his right leg over Justin's left arm.
Khabib goes down as the best pound for pound MMA fighter of not just his era, but of all time. Hands down! Better than Jon Jones, GSP, Silva, Demetrius Johnson, McGregor, etc.
13 fights in the UFC and 3 title defenses.. On paper he isnt the best. The best P4P is a matter of opinion so I wont disagree if you think that he is, but for me he isnt. Definitely top 5 tho. However, he is the P4P best grappler the UFC has ever seen, no doubt.
See the issue with Khabib is that he retired too early, based on what we have seen in his career, he was only getting better with every single fight and was just entering his prime. I have no doubt he can beat every single fighter in the LW division, which is why I give him my PFP GOAT spot, every other fighter has lost to someone or has been given undeserving wins or have cheated( PEDS), but I just think a fighter who has maybe lost 2 round in his whole career( both of which should have been given to him because of horrible horrible judging, 1. Mcgregor cheating for 1 minute and 5 seconds using illegal knees, glove grabbing cage grabbing, shorts grabbing etc, all because Khabib was getting the kimura on him., 2. Gaethje r1 which was just retarded judging because we can all see Khabib outboxed Gaethje and got takedown him....

Khabib fought Gaethje at Gaethje's stand up game most of the fight which was the most incredible part of this for me. One of the greats for sure.
People need to put respect on his striking
@noo pe cry nerd
@noo pe Are you high? He landed more strikes in the first round and kept pressuring Gaethje till he had no where to run from his takedowns. How are you gona say his striking had no success when Gaethje was legitimately running from him at one point
@noo pe Khabib did more damage in the stand up game than Gaethje.
A. P. Yeah he even made gaethje bleed
He talks like Justin Gaethje did something special and guy barely survived 1st round lol.
Connor only lasted and made it to the 4th round because khabib allowed it to even before the fight khabib kept telling the fans, " it going to be a long night for him". "I am going to change his face". I think I will take my time to teach him a lesson". Etc... That was khabibs plan to pretty much expose Connor and to humiliate him
Tbh, he did sound salty and grudgingly gave Khabib his due.
If you don't respect and appreciate Khabib after watching that post-fight interview and the legacy he left behind you should be ashamed of yourself. Khabib is hands down the pound for pound GOAT.
I doubt we will ever see another champion like him this man has never even been cut once or taken any serious damage with zero questionable wins now he will return to the mountains forever p4p greatest of all time
P4P is still Igor Vovchanchyn who had a 38 win streak at heavyweight. You clearly don't know just how crazy mma use to be. He had multiple wins on guys 100lb heavier than himself as well as multiple fights a night. Craziest thing was his 39-0 in kick boxing that he had at the same time.
Khabib is definetly the best UFC light weight champ and arguably the best UFC fighter. But best mma fighter for weight? Not really he never fought guys heavier than himself in open weight competitions.
@Jason Webb It's far harder to fight a bigger man. Even 20lbs of weight is nearly impossible to over come let along the 40lbs Vovchanchyn fought on average or the 100lb he fought.
No doubt that Khabib is as clean as it gets but Igor KOed guys with easy even when roided to the gills. Not taking away from the modern era but its far safer and easier now.
Everybody was talking about Gaethje wrestling background and his KO power before the fight... Khabib gave him a real and fast lesson.
🐐
And he made it look easy. Crazy
Full fotage of Khabib submitting Gaethje thx me later.

No one seriously though Justin's wrestling would be a match, khabib is a monster at grappling. I feel like only Stephen a Smith though otherwise.
Now we know Dustin beating Justin was really no fluke. They both faced Khabib and both found out what it feels like when khabib grabs them.
@@magnafire1 that thousand yard stare they had...looking for help...
dang! khabib is a beast...or in justin words "a fucking monster"
Love you weasle! Such a great time to be alive and witness this fight!
thank you for this no nonsense clear concise breakdown, i wish all announcers learned how to report in similar manner instead of digressing about other fights their feelings etc during every fight.
The pressure from Khabib was insane, emptied Justin’s gas tank in the 1st, then triangle, pure Dominance 🙌🏼
I feel like Khabib would beat Tony but Tony would give Khabib the hardest fight of his career, Tony’s just weird man
I agree.
I dont see tony can beat khabib...but i see gsp is hardest fight for khabib..n tq for sharing your thought
@Casus Capto agree bro...no1 p4p now.....the only person i see khabib tough oppnent is GSP
@Casus Capto yes, tony is strong but no fight IQ, khabib is another level, not only hella strong but also high fight IQ, another example: we've seen stipe with his fight IQ neutralize the stronger nganou
@@khrawkuparkharbani511 Tony doesn't care if Khabib takes him down, so he'll be able to let his hands go on the feet far more than Khabib's previous opponents, Tony also has the cardio keep up with Khabib's pace for the entire fight... and Tony also has nasty Jiu Jitsu and scrabbling ability, which means Khabib will have a harder time holding him down.
After the first round, I saw the look on Justin's face and knew it was over. Crazy how game Justin is and Khabin broke him within 1 round. He's on another level, sheesh.
This is the first of your vids I have seen. Super informative and well paced. I learned lots. Cheers man! Tuning in for future ones from now on.
The first video I search for about a break down of a fight is yours.
Dude you talk about things that most analysts don`t. I love your videos. Thank your for doing this I really learn fro them a lot.
Justin has the strongest mind of anyone Khabib has fought without a doubt but even he was overcome with the insane pressure and takedown threat. Unbelievable the way Khabib dominates people
How so? Justin was one of the easiest fights khabib has had in years. Al did much better, and so did McGregor.
@Saif Kabeer
Even being dominated Al was in there all 5 rds
No mental strength?
@@jeilman93 The coach of Khabib stated that he likes to try to stand up fight with other fights when he thinks he can. So Khabib was basically playing with AI, and he tried to do the same with Conor in 2nd round. This fight on the other hand, Khabib stated he would not exchange punches but only wrestle till he breaks Justin. So he was 100% serious in this match.
@@SuperAvocadoo but dude, there was more stand up fighting than there was on the ground. Khabib was actually somewhat successful even. I actually gained some respect for his stand up in this fight, but as soon as they went down Gaethje had nothing. As a dude with a high profile wrestling history i would be beyond ashamed if i was him. Khabib also admitted(i know khabib fans pretend he didn't) that he COULDN'T finish Al, and that he was extremely tough. Same with McGregor, love him or hate him, he did alright in that fight against a dude that is a stylistic nightmare matchup for him. Why is it so hard to give a little credit to Conor? I'm not asking for people to say he's a good person, because he's an asshole, all I'm saying is give credit where credit is due.
He was afraid not the strongest mind 😂 because he says it doesn't mean it. Watch justin eyes throwing no look punches hoping to land.
Broken foot and still won wow
Thanks for this great analysis of the fight. For me you’ve made things a lot clearer.
No problem man, I'm glad you looked it
Thanks for the breakdown, so far your channel is one of the best...The Eagle, The GOAT...unquestionably, after all the hype over Gaethje and how Khabib has never faced anyone like him, no other fighter has the power punch, hability and kicking, he has tools better than any other fighter, and still; pure domination from The GOAT...amazing, just amazing.
Khabib took the right decision he proved all his doubters wrong once again and all his haters became fans and he will always be remembered as the GOAT!
@Poo Head the boys of the underground will say crazy things😂
Who exactly doubted khabib would win 🤔
@Omar Kabba Well the goat of the 155 division that's for sure, you're right he could've went up for a second belt or something
@@wasntme3034 yes, I think he retired too early to be a true goat.
@@dubstepXpower yeah mate you are the one deciding when he needs to retire
keep talking
Got this off another video & thought I'd share it here!
Khabib's speech after the fight, translation from Russian:
"And now for my fans, and it would not be quite right to say "to my fans from Russia", so let's say "to all Russian-speakers", thank you so much, when I started all of this in 2008, and when I signed for UFC and had the first fight in 2012, many didn't believe in me, many thought it would be impossible. I'm a simple guy from a regular village in the mountains of Dagestan, who came over here. Just yesterday my brother told me: "According to Google you are the most discussed person on the planet". I simply couldn't believe it, because if you can imagine, I never had any of this on my mind, it was just my father and I dreaming of becoming the champion one day. I could have never imagined so much could happen to me. If you have parents, be close to them, and that's it. I have only one parent left, my mother. I would like to dedicate more time to her".
wow, i am even more moved after reading that translation
That last bit really moved me. I too only have my mother left, and I try not let money keep me too far from her.
@@ArmadusMalaysia 💯...I lost both parents a week apart from each other unexpectedly a couple years ago😭it's definitely life changing!
What was expected to be one of his toughest fights turned out to be an easy submission victory.
Blew my mind how khabib made it look SO easy! I knew he was good but. Dam!

Аниме на всю жизнь !!!! Who is real russian?
thankyou for the transalation
Respect!!! He knows whats up.
@Аниме на всю жизнь !!!! youre putin man
Great video buddy the way you break it down step by step.
I love your breakdown .THANK U
Ref : I stop at 10 taps
Gaethje : taptaptaptaptaptaptaptataptap
Ref : Lost count. Can you repeat that?
@Raven Lynx Hard agree. The way Justin tapped it kinda looked like he was trying to punch Khabib. The ref probably noticed, but wanted to make sure cuz he thought Justin wouldn't lose consciousness so fast. As soon as he saw Justin was out he instantly stopped the match. Imo there is no problem with how that was handled.
Haha spit out my drink!
I'm glad I got to see you throughout your career. Thank you all you have done for this sport enjoy retirement enjoy your family, Khabib.
The best fight breakdown. Thank you for great technical detailing
Excellent analysis. One thing I think u missed is Khabib's ability to eat good shots. I've watched several replays of the fight and Justin landed a LOT of clean head shots and very hard leg kicks. Khabib just kept walking through them and put max pressure on Justin. That had to shake Justin's confidence. Also, I found it almost incredible how gassed Justin was after Round 1. His cardio against Ferguson was so impressive. It just goes to show that Khabib's pressure is on another level. When I saw Justin breathing real heavy in his corner after 1 round I knew it was over. Finally, this fight was another textbook example of how badly good wrestlers can look when they are taken down. Justin's defense on the ground was really atrocious. He got mounted immediately and quite easily both times he went to the mat.
I've got to admit, The Weasle nailed exactly how this fight would go down in his previous video on how Gaethje would try to react to Khabib's chain wrestling.
I don’t think Tony would’ve performed any better than Gaethje. Tony is easier to take down than Gaethje and his striking is not nearly as good Gaethje’s. While he does have much better grappling than Gaethje, if Kevin Lee was able to get into full mount on Tony, Khabib would have no trouble passing Tony’s guard.
If Khabib was interested in cementing his MMA legacy, he'd fight Ferguson and it would be undeniable. MMA math doesn't work and Tony wasn't himself in his last fight. Cutting weight 2 times in one month is dumb.
Dont want to disrespect you but Lee didnt do anything from the mount he literally just landed a single punch and Tony got out before the round ended ( and Kevin threw a shot after the bell on pourpose) and then he stopped almost all the takedowns except the last pne when he got the triangle, and Tony did land more significants strikes and had more submission atempts from bottom than Kevin on top. And about the other thing, Tony and Eddie were always clear that the gameplan was search for five rounds all kind of creative and sneaky submissions plus upside down gnp to slow down Khabib, as we saw in the 3rd round agains Conor he slowed down a little because of the explosiveness and the isometric force he used to keep him down (the thing is that Tony never stays static like Conor did a lot of times, he has arguably the best guard in MMA and he proved that he can be durable until the last second of fight under almost any circumstances) so in the 3rd, 4th and 5th Tony could capitalize a lot to win a decision or even submit him.
Gaethje cardio was bad and i've been saying that for months and no one took me serious, he lasted in the Tony fight cause Tony didnt have a gameplan like he did with Barboza to neutralize the strikes at the beginning, and Conor couldnt finish Khabib because he didnt have more energy. I think i explained myself pretty clear here i hope you guys get what i tried to say
U think? I'm happy for that.
How undisputable, how convenient. I allow you to think further, go ahead.
@@MakeYouFeelBetterNow Nobody forced Tony to take that fight with Gaethje let alone cut weight twice, he made that decision. He got beaten to a pulp for 5 rounds whilst still having a longer camp than Gaethje too.
I think you're right. However Tony's weapon isn't his skills, it's his toughness and stamina. He will lose the first rounds, but that question was always, can he avoid getting finished by Khabib early and tire him out late? We'll never know.
Great insight. Thanks for sharing.
Khabib has an answer for everything. He has reached the peak of his craft and is still humble enough to say he is not perfect and is always looking to improve. Amazing.
Can't believe Khabib performed like this with a broken foot
Yeah. Khabib's wrestling is so incredible
His foot was a balloon
And didn't gave excuses unlike someone.
Meanwhile you got conor making the excuse that his foot was a balloon 😂💀😭
“khabib set it up , like it was an instructional video” 🤣😂
The sequence that finished the fight was incredible. I am still blown away from it. That pressure Khabib put on Gaethje took him out of his element. The way Khabib went out was the best way to do it. This event was memorable.
Excellent analysis! Excellent job of narrating! Definitely thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thanks man!
U called that gatheji's instincts are gonna make him give up his back. great call out.
Mom loves her son, & can change her mind in the future.
Ameen
@@GTanya07 ameen only if Khabib is ready to destroy
Dana need to call mama khabib ASAP.
@@Ninja-mh3cg haha right?! I wanna see him at least hit 30-0.. But HOW did they give That first round to Gaethje??? 2/3 Judges did, so they have to screw him out of another round so he lost two rounds in his career instead of one. But from what I'm aware of, they score based on pressing the Action, significant strikes, and octagon control. He landed two more strikes, pressed non stop, and he was on top of him for the last minute.
Every body and even his opponents also want kabib s return..
Coz kabib is a very honour and ground to earth
Great video breakdown bro
Great analysis, bravo!!
When u make look it easy on that level, with the best of the best it's just crazy...
I’m Conor fan but when I see khabib beard I get scared. Wishing him n his family the best.
Try going to Wales
your boy got smashed by khabib doe
Man your pre fight analysis was perfect before the submission when khabib got justin's back it immediately reminded me of you
I never seen an mma youtuber that is better than theweasle and as true as theweasle at breaking down or explaining really
Excellent Analysis! Khabib had me in tears post fight interview and even this analysis had me emotional. Thanks Weasle!
Gaethje was prepared but when he came face to face and saw the real beast he got shook. Gameplan went out the door.
This video is so on point, great job man! Keep it up
Honestly it feels like Khabib is still evolving from fight to fight and getting better and I'm not sure we've seen his peek yet, it's a shame but I completely understand his reasons. And he gets to retire at the top of the mountain, which very few athletes get to do. Congrats champ and farewell, you gave us some truly amazing moments!
I was talking about Khabibs head movement before you posted this video! You are the best mind in MMA Weasle!!! It’s insane how good he reacts to oncoming punches! His timing and spacing is absolutely second to none!!! Khabib is so good on ground if he chooses to not wear on you or ground and pound you, he could end the fight way faster!!! He would of submitted Conor quicker in rematch! His ability to take a punch blows my mind too! If Conor and Justin couldn’t land clean on Khabib it shows how good Khabibs pressure, wrestling, and striking is!! I don’t think anyone can beat Khabib at 155 to 170 except maybe Usman! He is a lbs for lbs top 3 GOAT ever, no one has dominated top competition like he has!!! Any chance to beat Khabib would have to be someone trying to wrestle him back offensively because he is a strikers absolute worst nightmare!!!! The problem with that is I don’t think anyone is MMA wrestler level of Khabib except maybe GSP or Usman!
I think in terms of MMA wrestling, Khamzat Chimaev is right up there with Khabib. But not sure about his overall fight IQ though. Only time will tell. Khabib and his father were great at coming up with game plans to catch each opponent.
@@kallepikku4991 I will say Khamzat seems more violent than Khabib so if he continues to display his superior wrestling at welterweight with his vicious level of ground and pound I could see him running the welterweight division in a few years!!!!
similar to Habib wrestling ... Islam Makhachev next fight against Rafael Dos Anjos
here goes the fighter who brought me to MMA :(
@@SumR4ndom Yes islam makhatchev is very skilled guy
Ur breakdowns are incredible. U predicted everything that was going to happen this fight.
Excellent vid, man
