- Dan Hardy, Nick Peet and Adam Catterall breakdown the incredible #UFC254 card in full, including Khabib's legacy-defining performance against Justin Gaethje.
The #OpenMat team also discuss what's next for the lightweight division and Robert Whittaker's dominant display against Jared Cannonier. - Sport
7 Reasons Khabib's the GOAT imo:
1. Most 10-8 rounds in UFC history. By far the most dominant fighter in the Octogon.
2. It's debatable if he even lost a round in a golden era in the most stacked division.
3. Has never been made to drop a single drop of blood in the Octogon or had a black eye.
4. Never cheated with steroids.
5. Was promised a title shot by the UFC way back in 2016, was sent a contract in to fight Alvarez for the title in Sept 2016 but was used as a pawn in negotiations and the lightweight title shot was given to featherweight Mcgregor. Mcgregor beat Alvarez and held the belt hostage for 2 years without defending it, further delaying Khabib's rightful title shot.
So had to win 10 straight fights (in the most stacked division) to finally get his title shot whereas GSP got it in 3 fights and Jones got it in 7. Yet he still managed to get in 3 title defences. (How many defences would he have if he got his title shot in 2016? 5-6).
6. Was out for 2 years and came back from career threatening injuries without any ring rust and was still as dominant as ever. Dominated Michael Johnson with a 9 mm hernia in his spine. Fought Justin Gaethje with two broken toes.
7. A true champion by being a good representation of the sport. Humble and hard working - the values of mixed martial arts. Didn't need to trash talk to sell fights.
Copy this and paste this everywhere cuz all of this is pure FACTS!
There is one more point to prove that is to conquer the welterweight division but he retired which i think he should his mental health looks really bad so a year or two off he may consider going back
Lost round 3 against Connor
Kahbib is definitely top 3 but Jones and GSP are different gravy
Can't argue with that, Khabib #1 pound for pound GOAT 🐐. Maybe even the Actual Greatest Fighter of All Time. Better than Floyd ever was to boxing 🥊. He's up there with Hagler, Marciano, Pacquiao and Ali.
@Christian Cullen but Conor was cheating to hell and back in that round. He should’ve been deducted a point, thus he never lost. CASUAL.
Khabib is the GOAT in my eyes, Jones has arguably lost fights, Silva has, GSP has. Khabib never even got a bruise or a cut. Dominance.
True
GSP will always be on the GOAT conversation but not silva and jones. GOATs don't use PEDs.
@Norton X Jones has more notable wins. Khabib has had most dominating wins, never lost and can clearly see if he wished to continue no one would be a challenge to him.
@Norton X 29
@@ysituation how many times Jones actually lost out of his wins ? Shall we say 3 - how many rounds Khabib lost in his career maybe 1 although that’s debatable (most dominant fighter ever to compete 🐐🐐)
Floyd changed the game once by trash talking and now Khabib has changed it with humility and respect.
no, there’s still trash talking. literally last ppv was built off of it
How did mayweather change it by trash talking. That was Muhammed Ali
@@yahqoobali121 lmao he just changed it by making ppl hate him and showing up to see him get koed
Who else felt it when Khabib cried?
Omg, wow thx for the like pls help me get to 1k!
I am still crying man
it just hit me hard bro
I was crying, had to bite my fingers to stop it. We were certainly lucky to live in this era to be able to watch it.

wonder why he thanked everyone except his wife?

Nah he's an islamist
@@Disinfo321 is islamis a bad thing lol u think that’s offensive or what
The man lost his all, fought with a broken foot, not in a good situation mentally and against one of the best in the world, had the hardest and loneliest camp ever, his team mates couldnt fight in this card bc of different problems/reasons, etc etc. And he still made it, he truly deserves peace and the best for his life and family, im sure his dad would be so proud of him not only bc of this amazing performance but him as a person. 🐐❤🙏
Khabib went out with his favourite submission.
His first W was with the same Sub and now the retirement as well
He even pulled it off 3 fights in a row at one point
Sadly, Khabibs retirement has made me a massive fan. As an Irish man I'm delighted that he smashed Conor. Decency won out over depravity!
Absolutely. The class is that he acknowledges him and Justin as the most dangerous fighters in the first round.. which is true.. he just wasn't interested in a rematch because he never said sorry for all of those horrible horrible insults and would not want to give him any attention
The morale is good beats evil I think
This is why I love the Irish love from a Pakistani brotha
👏👏
Never bleed
Lost one round (Arguable)
Toughest division in the UFC, by far
And never lost a fight
Legendary GOAT Status
Yeah he didn't lose that round lol. It's so pathetic🤦
@@boxingstar7749 I agree
Straight up bro.
No PED!!
Loss of the most important person.
Gentleman in and outside the octagon.
The most Title defences in LW division.
The GOAT without any doubt.
Retiring with a perfect record like khabibs 29-0 is like retiring in boxing 100-0.
Mai i add : never even lost a sparring session.. Let alone tap.. - javier mendez
We were truly spoiled, having the privilege to watch Khabibs career play out. Enjoy retirement GOAT
So much respect for Gaethje too, still an absolute brawler. Both men are pure class.
Straight up bro. Justin is a good dude. 👍
Just a shame it weren’t a packed out arena to applaud khabibs performance and to see him say goodbye to a career in the sport he cherished and dominated! All the best champ 👊 🦅
He never did it for public adulation anyway. His motives were more pure.
@@noonoofulable yes I understand that I’m just pointing out that it’s a shame about the current situation and not being able to see the true appreciation for a packed out crowd to see the way he went out on his final win
Thanks to the bullshit plandemic. Now we'll have to listen to that absolute idiot Runner McTapOut once again... Yay 🙄
It's a shame they let Khabib cheat. He didn't make weight. But we are talking about the UAE......LOL
Corrupt as hell.
What a role model to everyone MashaAllah.
Everyone can now safely put Location back on😅
Ha 😃
Loooolll
Lmao

BT Sport legit put out the best UFC content. Glad to see us in the UK finally got a PPV at our time. I like to think BT Sport was a reason behind that. The fact it was also perhaps one of the most special moments in UFC history and i got to experience it live will be something i'll remember forever.
Spot on. Could get used to watching it normal times though lol
No it was cos Khabib’s Russian/Muslim lol but it was still a nice time for us
@@moatification Same, nice 7pm start lol. I rarely got to see UFC shows live, because i just can't stay up that long anymore. The fight island shows weren't too bad to be fair, since it just meant going to bed earlier and getting up at like 5am. Still never felt right or could truly enjoy them.
Subspicion it was because khabibs biggest fans are from that region (eu/asia/,middle east)
jon jones shouldnt be even in conversation. Those who tested positive for steroids can never be goat
Dude was hiding from USADA under the octagon for 8 hours LOL
💯💯
This was the main thing i tell everyone, u cant be the goat if u need to enhance ur natural abilities to help u win a fight, punch strength, stamina changes ALOT in a fight.
facts💯💯💯
Khabib is man goals. Him retiring because he promised his mother deeply moved me.
When the referee becomes a fan!
I never really liked khabib. Always wanted him to lose but last few fights I’ve really come around. He’s on another level By far the best fighter. Goat
Khabib knew that Gaethje would not put up too much of a struggle and let him put him in a triangle, he knew that Gaethje looks forward to that because he (Gaethje) just picks his opponents up slams them then destroys them. But khabib, the GOAT, anticipated that and simply wrapped his arm around his leg. I can only imagine the horror in Gaethje's mind when he realized that khabib checkmated him
Calm down Yagami Light
I am a khabib fan but I don’t think u know wat u r talking about...
@@fazalhanafichaudhry3947 Justin pickes up his opponent when they try to put him in positions, but Habib grabbed his knee so he fell down and couldn't stand up.

Dan has always rooted for whoever is against Khabib, every single time lol
Ariel Helwani too.

Brendan Schaub is proper joke
"Justin has no quits in him"
Taps multiple times.
Not even Justin's fault. Such is Khabib's class.
Was that the same referee that cruz was furious about? 🤣
@@rexyz5875 nah that's different guy who smells like cigars and whisky 🤣🤣
@@almappy3643 oh shoot my bad hahahah i swear if that was him dom must be yelling "he tapped, he tapped!" 😂
Tapping doesn’t equal quitting
If a strangle is locked in, things are beyond your control. There is no quit when in that situation, it's like knocking over your king when 2 moves from checkmate. It is acknowledgment of the situation.
I'm a McGregor unconditional fan(when he was poor),but khabib is the 🐐 without any doubt
unconditional fan who can't spell his name right
Some of Jon Jones' win are controversial. In other hand, Khabib's wins are not. He absolutely dominated all his fight. GSP, Anderson all of them too. They have holes on their game but Khabib's not.
To me Jones is out of the question for GOAT status because of his failed USADA tests
@@adc4836 yes and that too.
Khabib is the 🐐 period
Khabib's wins are not? We'll just forget about Gleison Tibau then where Khabib attempted 13 takedowns and got 0 of them and this was during the time that a takedown meant someone literally touched the mat. 4 of the 6 media outlets scored the fight 30-27 tibau and the other scored it 30-28 tibau. Only 1 media outlet scored it for Khabib, 29-28. Let's not just make up narratives, shall we?
@@AddictedGamerFIFA That fight is irrelevant due to the fact that Tibau later on tested positive for PEDs. Yet Khabib still put on a pressure on him.
A man of his words. He took justin to the deepest ocean and drown him. *A truly a living legend.* ❤❤🦅🦅🦅❤❤
We will miss him. The greatest mma champion of all time
If I was Justin I'll train with Khabib for about a year, since he has retired.
he wishes man, anyone would jump at that but I think khabib is gonna train islam and help him become the next champ.
@@skylerqt5550 absolutely. Islam is the next big thing
Dan Hardy was all about Justin giving Khabib his first L!!!
Lol
Gsp fan here... but boy Khabib is something special
What to do?
a. Get sleep for 3 hours
b. Go rewatch the main card again
c. Go to the bar
All good options
And that will be followed by standing with two guys for 35 minutes.
Khabib is a role model in my life. I’m not a fighter, never have been and would never want to be. That being said, that man is a special human, the mental fortitude he has is truly inspirational.
I honestly don’t think anyone can break khabib’s record nor do I think adesanya
i think robert or chimaev will beat adesanya one day. especially chimaev
@@9mhdf194 true
@@9mhdf194 maybe Darren Till once he become less reluctant to throw shots
middle weight is not that competitive like lightweight, lightweight top 10 all of them are killers.
I agree but if someone has the potential to do it, it will be izzy at this point. Hate him or love him.
It’s He ( the creator) who gives respect , MashaAllah ( by the will of GOD) Khabib is so much bigger than we know even now , true respect and love for Justin it’s a pleasure to see ppl like Justin in mma
Mcgregor vs poirier becoming a LW tittle fight would be one of the most unfair things the ufc has ever done
Exactly. Here is what the UFC needs to do........... if we go by RANKING !! Just vs Poirier and Ferguson vs Conor Winner of each fight for title. Then Champ vs Michael Chandler nest
Why would 3v4 get a chance for the title? 1v2 winner first defence is the winner of 3v4
Where’s the “28-1” ppl at?. Shush 🤐
Crying in a corner. 😂
@@soldier9453 true 😂😂
LOL they deleted their accounts after the fight
28-1, tibua is that 1🤣🤣🤣
@@throwsandtony3131 I found him!
Khabib is the greatest..29-0 n the only things ppl can say is he’s lost 2 rounds..haters make me laugh the goat has never been cut...never been knocked down and he’s foot was a balloon..greatest ever
1 round was the ref losing the other was 2 judges.. Money involved? Cabt imagine why they thought that. Also been went completely blind AND deaf after the first sight and warning of cheating, then just proceeded to pretend to not see any hands, feet in cage.. Glove hooking short grabbung.
Blind watchers, oh khahib had a hard time taking conor down!
Hey conor did a decent job at first attempt in the first that's it
What made this win more dominant is that he fought with a broken foot and was walk chasing Gaethe around.
well, he Did weigh quite a bit more
BT Sport really stepped up with their content. Adam was the MVP
People must not forget how Khabib kinda changed Ufc aswell, seems after the Conor fight other fighters are more respectable to eachother. Khabib leaves a big big footprint in the Ufc.
I’m just as impressed with Dan Hardy behaving like a saint. Enough said...
Islam Makachev will be the next champ, provided people dont run away from fighting him
@Steve Barnes Dagestan and Chechnya are tough places, gone through numerous wars. Tough times create tough men.
@@amirzar689 every european country has tough history, but luckily caucasus has not become weak minded compared to others
@Steve Barnes 170 and 185 double champ
Much respect to Khabib. That was the most exciting fight he's been in. I picked him but expected long boring stall from him. But he came foward engaging stand up like he didnt respect Justins striking power
Make a BT Sport MMA channel!
Full reptile
Great job this week guys loved all the bt, full reptile and fight disciples content!!
Fair play lads we have came a long way from the early open mat days. Love to see it lads keep it up.
All respect to khabib true goat this really leaves a power vacuum at 155 some fun fights
The right way:
Poirier vs Gaethje (Title)
McGregor vs Ferguson
UFC way:
Poirier vs McGregor (title)
Gaethje gets winner
Ferguson gets some random fighter.
Well, to be fair. Poirier and Mcgregor did better against Khabib then Gaethje and Ferguson (no shows being worst of all).
Not saying it's fair to throw the belt up between to those two. Better to have a 4 man tournament but the UFC won't do that.
Imagine 3 fights in one night, winner takes all!
@@bobborghartgooglable Tony Ferguson most disrespected Fighter and most toughest fight of Khabib... But that would never happen... Conor is getting chance but not Tony.. He won't get a chance on belt ever.
Adam vs Khabib rematch. Billiards. We need it BT SPORTS.
Absolutely 😂
Thankyou lads Well Done To All The Fighters 💎 STAYBLESSED
Been waiting for this
Dan Hardy wanted Khabib to lose so badly but now he understands what a true Champion is, dont have to lose to be the best
Poor Dan vented on Tony calling Gaethje as the one with more potential and probably the best opponent in LW now we all saw that👌😂
Well said 👏👍
My big thing with Khabib is that he prove it that grappling is king in combat sports. Like Gracie did back in the day.
I could listen to these 3 all day long!👍
Well once again, Dan Hardy was spot on with his preflight pick khabi fight.Only problem he had the wrong fighter.
Best performance and he had a broken foot
Dan hardy is still jalous wtf is that,for all the fans Khabib is The number 1 Goat of all time.
GSP is, recency bias says Khabib but GSP is the best, belts in two weight classes, look at who he faced, how long he held the title, was truly dominant in striking or grappling. Jon Jones after that, Khabib then Anderson Silva.
love the show fellas. def one of my top favorites to listen to. Keep up the hard work fellas.
I enjoyed this boys keep them coming

Really loving this presenting done by BT. Top notch UFC content
Amazing content the past week

Great show guys
A boy from small village on mountains, Shocks the world with his Humble and powerful presence inside and outside cage.............and calls a wrap on the division ......and goes back to his village like a Mythical Character.
Khabib is this generations Muhammad Ali 🐐
Maybe he will come back for GSP . Nevertheless khabib is a GOAT
@Qarnayn Maliki tbh I think the only way he's coming back is GSP... because it was the wish of his father, other than there's no way we ever see him fight again
He will fight GSP. His mother will see GSP and will let him fight GSP. GSP is not a scary guy.
Khabib is so genuine and respectful human being. The simple man who comes from crazy mountains. One of the kind in this era! 🦅🏔👏
Gotta say, Adam Catterall is a decent presenter, BT done well with him 👏🏼
Khabib is the BEST fighter of all time! Any of the fighters now contending for the lightweight title know they only hold that belt because Khabib retired.
Khabib the real GOAT...and Justin has a great heart...respect
One of the best MMA shows going around!!! Wish i was from the UK.!!!
I was really hoping to see at least 1 more Khabib fight but I certainly respect his promise to his mother. Much love from Louisiana!
Khabib is the GOAT, no argument against that !
the greatest of all time
Khabib: retires
LW-Divison: Alhamdulillah
Dan, do it always like this, real mat demostration breackdown of what happens the fights
Eagle is arguably a Goat
What a paradox
On je najbolji taćka

Lmao Ariel Helwani and Dan Hardy Khabib haters, always wanted Khabib to lose . 29-0 GOAT
Thats why, khabib doesnt want his interview..
That is, by all means, bullshit.
brendon schaub as well.
This is the best channel for ufc reports :D
Dan Hardy humbled again
@arshad mahmood Has nothing to do with religion. Stop using religion as an argument where it doesn't belong.
@arshad mahmood The most ignorant comment I've heard here by far.
Please always add Daniel Cormier. He is an amazing story teller
u can see him and aeriel on monday analysing things.
This is just the BT Sport team, so we're likely not to see DC unless they're together and if he's a special guest.
Dan hardy low-key fuming inside.... khabib hater through and through
Truly grateful we got to witness greatness in the form of Khabib
Great commentary team
I have a feeling conor will be a champion again, but we know who was the real king of the division 29-0 🦅
If they don't do a tournament and make that a title fight.. it would be criminal
Not sure where all this Dan Hardy hate is coming from. He thought Justin Gaethje would be a bigger threat, after what we all saw Justin did to Tony. I thought so too. But Khabib proved to be just that step above. That's it.
Chemistry between these 3 fellas is brilliant.
Can we get a video/audio of the first rd corner work for Khabib/Javier?
i dont think khabib really wanted the armbar at the end of the first round. he wanted to break justin gaethje physically, as he said before the fight, so he put incredible pressure on the right hand of gaethje
Best coverage bt sports rise my hat for u👏🏽
Adam Catterall input is really good as a 'presenter'. Enjoy his input as apposed to just asking the questions.
SENSATIONAL!!
BT really out did themselves with the coverage & build up of this card. Quality content all round!
Justin is a legit great great fighter! And even greater man. Respect
Totally agree with Dan Hardy comments, well said 👏
Never thought Dan Hardy would sound like a British Patrick Mahomes
Khabib is the GOAT for fighting in a savage combat sport like MMA and never been cut alone never mind all the other ridiculous records he set on his way to 29-0..
Connors relavant all of a sudden 🤦🏾♂️🤣😉🤔
Irrelevant
Conor McGregor is undoubtably the best striker in featherweight/lightweight history. And he still couldn’t touch Khabib, Khabib is a god among men
Bones, Gsp, Khabib, Demetrius. All supreme fighters.
and Cejudo
The GOAT without any doubt.
Retiring with a perfect record like khabibs 29-0 is like retiring in boxing 100-0.
