*"If a person doesn’t break psychologically, it will be hard to break them physically because the mind breaks before bones”* - Khabib 🦅
Tell that to McGregor
this does not make sense. If you're mentally strong your bones should break before your mind
@@calvincalvin3132 Are you dense... The quote literally means If a person doesn’t break mentally, he won’t break physically (broken bones, injuries during fight, he will keep going)
He made this quote when asked about overcoming his injuries & sickness during Gaethje fight and how he kept fighting
@@calvincalvin3132 if you’re not mentally strong you are not going to push to the point of breaking bones. You’re reading too much into it. I can break a bone going down my stairs lol This is totally related to fighting
This was from a Russian interview and I think it was misquoted. He did not mean literally the bones will break like what happened to Conor. The best example to explain this is that, Khabib said, "I won against Justin mentally first." Once the mind/mental breaks, the physical/body follows.
His English is getting so much better. I have so much respect for the whole Dagestan group
Зачем этот весогон бейся в комфортном весе . Весишь 90 гогяешь на 75 , честный спорт . Боец ходит как мертвый не говорить не чего не может ) Ufc сделайте взвешивание непосредственно перед боем и всё , будут бои ходячих зомби )
Word .. RESPECT. these guys do everything right!
Agreed. After the same amount of time I'd still be stuck at "да" and "Нет"
Молодцы очень организованно подошли! Дай бог победы и бой за титул!!
@@bobthebuilder615 ok ok
It’s the team he has around himself that makes a huge difference
@Aphorism V easy to say but you would be forced to sadly
@Aphorism V well, if you wanna be at a big disadvantage then go ahead lol
This is not a team , this is a family with deep bonds. Just love these guys
These are enablers!!! Just awful people
Weight cutting is so crazy! The mental toughness to drain yourself the day before a fight and still perform is underrated!
Deadly too if not done right....
How about that mask 😷🤔
It's almost unbelievable. Pushing body and mind to a humans limit, for one fight.
@MC Red11 the problem is that everyone does it. So if you don't do it, you have a major disadvantage
@MC Red11 it is kind of a cheat.. but others can also do the same thing if they are willing to put effort in it.. so if anyone can cheat, then it becomes normal.
“Brothers here give me good energy” these guys understand something we don’t in the US
You might disagree but their religion is part of what makes them so unique. Full of discipline I’m interested in learning more about Islam
@@afroman4035 I don’t disagree at all. I know for 100% fact it has at least some part in it. Maybe all. I think it’s a mix of the village they grew up in the brotherhood in religion and sport. And bringing that across to the western world where they are the minority in their beliefs and still dominating a sport
Edit. I’ve always wanted to learn about all religions and understand people more but it’s one of those things we stay ignorant about in the US. We’re typically stubborn to learn other things
Please search Ali Dawah and Mohammed Hijab, they answer a lot of questions.
Brotherhood is a big part of their success i feel,
Thanks to islam and being a Muslim. The western media deception has brain washed Americans about islam. Such disciplines only exist among Muslims. Don’t believe me? Try visiting a Muslim country and if they know your a guest you get everything free and you will become a brother to them!
Impressive how he never complains about anything!
Way better to cut 30 pounds then to fight people your own weight . I would sit my poosy ass in the sauna as well
@@bredin9199 And you think the other fighters are not cutting weight? FFS
Danko Kovačević aye respect to Islam he’s warrior but he need to get belt then go to 170
BredIN919 cope harder
@@bredin9199 🤦♂️🤦♂️..You think other fighter didnt cut weight🤣
The way his brothers look after him while he is cutting weight is beautiful to see, helping him get dressed, undressed, helping him up, getting things ready for him. To be a champion you need people around you like this to help build you up. Islam will be UFC lightweight champion by the end of 2022 I believe.
Your comment is so true bro, Islam will be champ in a few weeks
You were right bro
you were spot on lol
you were right brother
Good prediction
Once upon a time a legend said
"This is number one easy fight in lightweight division"
@@PhileasFogg yessir
Send me his name
Mcgregor
Islam:Same thing, eat,sleep
Khabib: And repeat 😂
that was hilarious lol
🤣😅 Whether stand up striking or stand up comedy, Khabib has a natural talent and can spar (and banter) with the best.
Eat,sleep and pray
Eaty, sleepy and repeaty
czcams.com/video/m8YL6OLe9iM/video.html
Their bond and their brotherly relationship is crazy this is some other type of energy they get I love that 🙏🏽
These are some of the teachings of Islam, the power of brotherhood
Respect Dagestan warriors from Italy!!! True fighters🙏❤️
Can you imagine if the entire world decided to treat each other like these men do?
Brotherhood!
Everyone waking up at 5 am to help their friend cut weight
At the very least we would solve the increasing obesity problem.
It'd be great, but then their religion gets involved and other personal shit lol, humans be humans bro
@@vietnamsemonky4082 religion is what made these people!
I love the Dagestan fighters. They are so damn tough and committed to be the best.
Only Khabib can claim he is the best. Islam got knocked the fook out
@Dan 15 You must know, you are american, right?
@@theth0mazz Just like Conor who got choked at his debuts, people evolve and learn and get stronger, Khabib is the undefeated, you don't have to be undefeated to become the best.
✈️🏢🏢
I love dagestan fighters who like cutting too much weight
Thé best support his got right there I haven’t seen that much motivation support and coach.. in my lifetime..AlHamdhulilah
Nothing mean or anything (no ill intentions) but these guys looks so much like Neanderthals lmao.😦
Probably why they are such good fighters too tho ❤️ 😂
@vIPR it is better to look like a neanderthal than to think and talk like one.
To have brothers like this is a dream.
Popular Opinion: Every single one of ya'll agrees that Khabib himself made our day:
I don’t
This is real brotherhood, when they put your socks on out of love because they know his body is weak in energy. ❤️
Yeah man. I was thinking about exactly same thing.
Everyone does this, it's just not documented well. He can throw out his back that dehydrated, or pinch a spinal nerve, or slip a disc, or ... die from a complication of many things. You don't risk such things for semantics, you do the man the justice of taking every precaution you can when he's physically exausted, he's earned atleast that. They're all zombies in this cut state, you can see it in their eyes, this is the hardest part.
These guys help each other like Servant Kings. Each guy gets his day to represent himself and the team. It's spiritual.
It definitely is spiritual 🙏🏽
I love the dedication of these guys, he didn’t complain not once, even Ali is there to give him good energy
Khabib starting to look a lot more like his dad
R.I.P to his dad ♡♡♡♡♡
He’s going for the Daniel Cormier body
@@David-nw6wj 😂😂😂
Dead??
Everyone started saying that until it started looking real lol
I'm not even religious but I be saying alhamdulillah everytime one of Khabib's boys fight
Meaning is 'all Praise is due to Allah' we typically say it after any type of good news/success or overcome something difficult. Like after a birth to a win in a fight. it helps supress the ego. To an athiest the equivalent will be to say 'always think you are/were lucky'. Both will keep you motivated and not rest on any laurels.
Alhamdulillah = Glory to God
In the Arabic Bible, they use those words regardless.
It slips into my verbal repertoire every now and then
I am Christian and say Alhamdulillah
Khabib s team forever ❤ your brotherhood and your loyalty is an inspiration for the generation in this era .... may Allah make it easy for you all guys
These guys are changing UFC from the macho BS of McGregor to Spartan warriors of old. Makhachev shook his opponents hand at the weigh-in, it’s 2 warriors in the ring but outside its 2 men who understand each other’s commitment to the art of fighting and there is only respect for ones opponent.
Cringe
Exactly
Lol fckn lame...people been both respectful and chaotic from the beginning of time. Gtfoh 😂
those who are actually macho don't need to tell it to everybody.
Call it bs but Conor showboating and insulting his opponents made the ufc as popular as it is today. It's cringe af but the ufc needed him.
That looks brutal. But damn, that’s what teamwork looks like.
@Acholo Freeman ok
fr all the bros cracking his feet and massaging his head lucky af... i used to crack my dads feet just like that when i was younger
@Acholo Freeman haahahahaha mad because your conor mcbreaker lost😂?
@Acholo Freeman lmao say that to his face
Big fan of Khabib from India. Best of luck for future CHAMPION.
@zizou His religion doesn’t matter. He’s a fan.
@zizou I am a Muslim, he is a Sikh. We both are Indian's. Important thing to note here is
We are MMA fans and Islam's fan.
Cheers.
@zizou 100/100
@zizou brother not every one.... Lots of good guys also...
@zizou I’m Hindu and I’m a big fan of khabib, it’s not a miracle, I know the sport and respect it, doesn’t matter which religion the fighter belongs!
From the bottom of my heart ‘i love this brothership’! Salam aleikoem from Turkey/Netherlands 🇹🇷🤍
You are not just a team you are brotherhood,well done Khabib!!!
Islam Time! 🦅
Lets goooo
"All for ONE, one for ALL" kinda brotherhood is next level with Dagestani Boys
Wish I had a group of loyal friends like this. Guys in the west don't seem as loyal. Things like money & women get in the way of friendships
@@michael43567 in Dagestan there are a bunch of different gangs. You have to have friends or you will die.
Its true i travelled through dagestan few years back was jumped by a gang of men who tried so have sex with me im not gay so i was very afraid but a local farmer came by and spooked them probably saved my life
@@Francie3183 lmao wtf they r gay?
@@michael43567 he’s the bread winner of that group currently. Of course he’ll have the whole squads support. That’s how it works in life
I love how they're all there for him during the cut, massaging him, helping him up, etc. Their so passionate for each others success.
Watching these tough warrior men show so much care and love for one another is just beautiful 💖May Allah protect them from all harm and may they continue to succeed in this life & the next. Ameen
Khabib is preparing a Dagestani cyborg in his lab
Cutting this much weight, is simply just cheating. Gaining an advantage and not fighting at his natural weight class. Pathetic, but not surprised as Khabib did the same. It's the only way they can win. Don't even get me started on the IV's they use, which is also cheated.
@@SatoshiShintoMeamerican?
i love seeing the islam and khabib brotherhood
They've known each other since Islam was 7 years old. Khabib and Islam were neighbour. No wonder Khabib's dad treat him more like a son than a student. Their family are close with each other too.
They support and help each other so much… it’s beautiful. With people like you literally think that there’s no obstacles.
This is why these guys are champions, the training. their team and dedication. Amazing.

Watch Cyborg cutting weight video, she legit is crying in a tub, in my opinion weight cutting doesn't make sense, too dangerous

@Amadeus Luciiann well you're technically right but everyone does that, so not doing it will put you in disadvantage.
@@ShawnFX They could also just pick a weight that is closer to their natural weight. It's harder to feel sympathy when you know some of these guys cut 50 lbs+ just to fight smaller opponents
@@robertgalaway8760 What do you mean exactly by smaller opponents. Islam didn't look drained at 155.5lbs compared to a Dustin, RDA, Tony, Chandler or Beneil, look at his face, and mouth, and compare it to those guys. He looks much healthier than those.
So much dedication on being a fighter, not just strength, mind needed...but also mentality. We need give them recognition for all of their hardwork..salute
Good team around him, Good to see hands on with him each other , respect from Ireland.
Respect to Irish people
@@ahmedshahbaz8559 respect brother
When you have guys around you who help you each and every time and support you, automatically you start believing in yourself doesn't matter how hard the fight is gonna be.....💥💥💥
A group of loyal friends is probably one of the great things you can have in life
Imagine in top of all that your name is Islam makhachev
Yaaa.. agree..
Hope he Always remember them who supported him, in a very hard days.. good luck brother
Surrounded by terrorist and steroid takers who believe in a pedo prophet

The hard work, support and cooperation between them is just amazing. #teamkhabib #dagestanfighters
I wish all the best for my Dagestani brothers...
Greetings from Türkler
Man.... What a bond of brothers.... Loving every second of it.....
Everytime I listen to Khabib , I got goosebumps . Had been following him since Mc Gregor fight only but he have been an inspiration since then for me . I really miss you whenever I see UFC now .
Ok you geek

@@loop4737 Which one of ur favourite fighters did he lamp
@@pelwanm.m5614 khabib and the entire Dagestan group are a bunch of shit stains on jock straps. Khabib the biggest itch of all fighters cutting from 200lbs to fight at 155. Pussy should have been in welterweight but was scared cause in that div he would be the one getting mauled.
Superior humans in every aspect...
Love and respect ❤🙌🙏

insha'Allah
@@mamindhive Charles is a competitive fighter but Islam is something else I believe he can beat him

Respect for all you bro SelamAlejkum from kosovo republic❤❤
Waralaikum Salam brother
These guys have a great team, they’re dedicated to the sport 100%, respect to the max 👊🏽
I remember seeing Islam as a young kid in those old Dagestan mountain training videos along with all those other Dagestan guys with Khabib... crazy to see him at this position now. All the blessings for him in his career and in his future. To Zubaira as well, I remember seeing him in those videos too. Let’s get it bros
Im glad everybody knows hes going to be a future lightweight champ 💯

He smiled when he said then that’s it, respect for what you do brother I’m grinding to do the same thing
If this was easy weight cut then I try to imagine what diff one would look like...All the respect to these sports persons.
Its diff if there is injury or your organ start to not cooperate with your plan.. Most of fighter will start to loss their mind and unstable mental.. Khabib team able to keep the mental and emotion stable is quite impressed actually.. No cursing and no tantrum
MashaAllah. Поздравляю Ислама и всю команду! Братья мы всегда с Вами🇦🇿
Man, Khabib looks very much like his father, even the beard. RIP Abdulmanap
full circle. fathers plan
RIP Abdulmanap. My wish was to have an opportunity to talk to Abdulmanap. But we have Khabib who keeps and shares father's legacy.
@Joe Bosco You won't get it until you know this man really well. Try to watch his interviews with subtitles, he was literally abyss of wisdom.
Whatever discipline, I love watching people pursue excellence with great passion, pain and commitment. It inspires me.
Khabib has all my respect!
Whole team with him always no matter time or place this is real brotherhood
His fights amaze me more than any other fighter♥️
Khabib sir ...we r proud of you Alhamdulliah ☝️🤲🇮🇳
What a nice m, sweet, amazing brotherhood, helpers honesty 😯 ❤️
love the team work love the energy khabibs camp gives off
mystical power, we love you Islam!
Seeing behind the scene scenes is so cool, you can see how much they put effort and sacrifice their life for it.
Such a hard work but what an amazing team and amazing support ❤️🔥
Inspirational stuff god bless from you uk 🇬🇧
Let's go Islam let's go 🔥🔥
future LW champion
InshaAllah
I love how the whole team rockin the chin strap beards 🙏
Traditionally men from Dagestan have beard but during the Soviet era Dagestani men not allowed to keep their beard that's why Khabib's father and his generation don't keep their beard. But new generation like Khabib and Islam can keep their beard now. Keep the tradition alive.
That's how it supposed to be in Islam :) trimmed mustache or cut all together like these guys!
Just praying for your goodness good people.. Khabib team care you so much.. Love to watch you all.. Muslim in dagestan...
For those who have never experienced a weight cut, I believe there is nothing more grueling in sports then cutting a large amount of weight. Literally feels like you are dying.
you are dying
Most I’ve ever cut was 20lbs but I do judo though
Do you know why they have to cut weight so last minute though? Can't they gradually do it over maybe a couple of weeks to not shock the body so bad? I always wondered this
@@atumanov55 The weight cut process usually begins a couple weeks out and involves radical dietary changes to excrete as much water as possible through the kidneys. What you’re seeing is the final phases of the weight cut where fighters cut the last bit of weight through insensible losses like sweating. Surviving like this for more than a day or two is not feasible because of the strain it places on the body, so they finish the cut right before the weigh ins
@@atumanov55 they do but you are looking at the fighter that, factually, cuts the most weight to stay at his division. The average cut from rest is 25-35 pounds. Islam’s is 40-50 pounds. The only other person to do this was Khabib, and if you’re wondering why just look at the wrestlers that’ve been at WW
When khabib is in your team... You've already won..
No slacking lmao or khabib will kick there ass
Khabib: my opinion easiest weight cut. The one he didn’t have to cut. 😂
🤣🤣
..and then he went and smashed a nice burger with double cheese 🤣
Right 😆
I think he was glad how easy for Islam to cut weight. weight cutting is pretty hard on every fighters. Islam even said that he was happy Khabib is retired because watching Khabib going through his weight cutting really stressed him out emotionally.
I think that this comment is a result of an "american" way of thinking. Khabib did not mean it that way. He would never ever put him self above his team mate. Never.
Wow This is motivation for me for my weight loss journey
Incredible how they help each others. Hope Islam will make it to the top.
I love how Khabib is saying that Islam’s weight cut was easy like he did it lol.
I think cuz they know what a rough cut looks like
He almost died from the weight cut. Several times.
@@user-kz7wj5fl9r yeah they didn’t have a nutritionist or proper oversight for their cuts for a long time
@@zebrom7994 nah, with khabib the problem was never nutrition, he was just cutting too much weight, simple as that. The healthy weight cut for him is 170 pounds, yet he risked death several times to avoid that division. Look at him now, he is literally walking around 220 pounfs
@@seriustraco lmao you’re a nut. Where tf do you get 220?😂😂
