If the world had more Stephen Thompson’s, we’d all be better off.
Or if the world had more of what ST has it would be better off…what has he got?
@@huzizach True meekness from a genuinely humble person
U mean American
How about try and be more like him
Agreed. I love that he is so kind, humble, nerdy, etc. If you didn't know what he could do and only saw how he acted, most people would not think he is a savage warrior. Keep breaking the stigma Wonder Boy!
Shavkat Rakhmanov.... That man gives me chills
Wise words of Laura sanko
Laura fav. fighter... ;) Mine to HAHA
😂
😅
December 16 is Kazakhstan's Independence Day. I hope Shavkat will give a gift to the entire Kazakh people with his victory.
he will make borat proud
@@YourHeartIsTheKey🙊😭
@@YourHeartIsTheKey
And I'll make your mom proud of cancer 😂😂😂
oh man
@@YourHeartIsTheKey You probably think all the comedies in the world are true, if you think Borat is true.
Thompson is an athlete, Shavkat is a warrior. Huge difference here.
Thompson is a man, shavkat is a fighter.
Please bro , you don't fight as long as Wonderboy has in the ufc without being a fucking warrior
Bro every fighter is warrior n athletic ur statement DNT make any sense 😂
only guy with balls enough to face rakhmonov. Wonderboy is still bigger than half of this shitty division way past his prime.
Well said
Out of Ian Garry, Shavkat, Usman, and JDM, wonderboy ended up taking probably the hardest out of the 4. It’s gonna be fireworks
He should have fough Perreira, and with a dominant win they would have given him a favorable matchup, or maybe even given him a title shot.
@@billyin4c514he wouldn't have gotten a title shot by beating pereira
Shav can act wisely.
I am a Kazakh from Kazakhstan and I really like Stephen as a person and as a fighter, but let’s be honest, he has very little chance against Shafkat. I am very sorry that our monster was pitted against him. I just have to respect that Thompson took the fight while Usman and Belal refused to fight against Shafkat
You have a good English brother
I’ve watched Shavkat since his M1 days but unfortunately Wonderboy is a bad matchup for Shavkat. WB will most likely finish him by the 2nd round. Shavkat will have time to bounce back his young.
@@djtheory313Its u opinion buddy! But Shav will esy dfeat him ! Mrk my wordz!
@@FU--2that's your opinion too.
remember when everyone said Aspinal didn't have any chance against Sergei. lol
@@djtheory313bruh I love Stephen but you can’t be that confident lmao.
Shavkat about to be 18-0 💯
Әумин,Әумин..........Әумин
Yes 👍 🇰🇬🇰🇿
Laura Sanko must be getting chills watching Rakhmonov's countdown😂
Shavkat Rakhmonov 🔥🔥🔥
As a person and fighter I really love Wonderboy Stephen Thompson anyday but Shavkat is on different level.. Shavkat have to win if he wants to be a champion ..He just give chills to people ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m from Kazakhstan, I see that Stephen is a very good person.
I want to see a spectacular fight
Wonderboys a greatfighter and human but the nomad is just something special
“High five! back in line!” gave me chills. What a cold dude
I was scared for the kid's life.
Imagine BOTH SHAVKAT and Wonder boy doing Spinning kick at the same time😂
Shavkat Rakhmonov will win . The whole of Kazakhstan is with you
I really love this fight and i think it’s probably the fight im looking forward to the most. This is a tricky fight for Shavkat as Wonderboy has been difficult for everyone to face. Shavkats best solution is obviously to take this fight to the ground. Final PPV & card of the year and it’s stacked! 🔥🔥
You're probably right about the best option to fight for Shavkat is to take WB down to the ground, but the one aspect why I love in Shavkat is not his technical abilities but rather mental part. He really likes to beat people at their own game. I really think that Shavkat originally wanted to box with Geoff N. and outperform him in boxing style. But as he said in the interview, he will adapt as fight goes on.
@@aspandiyarkossanov7267his well roundedness will be too much for wonderboy. He always uses everything. It’s not just his ground game that’s good. Wonderboy is gonna eat elbows in the clinch and liver kicks from his favorite kick
Would like to see Wonderboy get a WW title shot once more before retiring but sadly Shavkat is on his way..
I hope he doesn't try to play wonderboy's game and stand and kickbox with him. Shavkat is a fantastic striker, but wonderboy is arguably the best pure striker in UFC history.@@aspandiyarkossanov7267
either one who wins im going to be sad cuz I love wonder boy but I truly believe shavkat is an upcoming goat
Shavkat is relatively young so he can make a comeback, if wonderboy loses I don't see a path forward to being a champion
It ain’t 2010s lil bro nomad is here to make a statement
There both badasses
Wonder boy is gonna smack him around then KO him
@@Americanism1776 shavkat late stoppage tko win
Lets go Shavkat 💪🏻
Шафқат сәттілік 🇰🇿💪👊✊👍🔥🔥🔥💯
Әмин
Shavkat 🇰🇿🚀🔥
How can you not like the guy? Yes Thompson. A legend
No one is stopping Shavkat Rakhmonov.
future champ for shure
Prime Usman manhandles
@@masterdebater1678 You'd need a time machine for that though. Out of the current 170'ers, there's no one.
yeah, he's pretty cute I guess
Wonderboi will
Wonderboy represents a sport, Shavkhat Rahmonov represents a real fight. That is the reason why no one can not stop real warrior Shavkhat. 👊🇰🇿👊
He's sister got married and he missed the wedding yesterday
You're about to find out.
If they stay on their feet this could easily be fight of the night. Looking forward to this one!!
Tough fight for Wonderboy, If he wins this he deserves one last title shot 🙏
Wonderboy vs Edward's would be a great PPV
@@ProtossExecutor100yeah but they're almost matched on feet but Edwards is way better on the ground so I think Edwards subs him
@@djpavaozin4861edwards got rocked by diaz bro 😭😭
@@djpavaozin4861uh? Burns and Belal couldn't but Leon yes?
ҚАЗАҚСТАН🇰🇿❤️
Бұйыртса жеңісті аламыз
Монстр из Казахстана идёт к титулу... уважаю его соперника,но в данное время Рахмонов Неоспоримый в своём весе...
We got two careers ending on Saturday, Wonderboy and Ferguson it was nice watching ya.
yep.
Lol, Wonderboy is coming for the belt, one last run
@@nitinTDM he's about to get the beating of a lifetime.
never underestimate the final run
@@Par_and_syv_lovers56 pftbwahaha!!!🤣😂🙃😉 yes, because sooo many of those have worked out! Have you ever watched sports at all? I think cartoons and rocky movies are better suited for you.
Shavkat is the future champ! 🏆🏆🏆🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿
First Kazakh fighter signed to the UFC and you see the level, imagine if they sign more from our country!
Первый вродеб был Дамир Исмагулов
@@81_pro он на тот момент выходил с российским флагом
Let's go Shavkat!!!
The thing I hate about this match-up is I like both shavkat and Wonderbra and don't want either of them to lose
@@ShredworthyDave totally agree
SHAVKAT "NONAD" RAKHMONOV!!!!! 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I really breaks my heart to see Stephen loosing more and more. He is such a great guy and a positive role model for the younger generations. I hope he can secure a title fight, he deserves it.
Did you see what he did to Kevin Holland?
Tf? He just whooped Holland.
Agreed
I just saw that fight with Holland and my jaw was on the floor. WB absolutely smoked him he looked soooo good.. makes me think he could upset this weekend
Reminds of when they tried feeding Nate to Khamzat 😟
Dana sure likes punishing these veterans on their way out 😮
Except for Jon jones
We'll be rooting for Shafkat, Stephen is also good for accepting this fight. Let the fight be without injuries.🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿
Shafkat біз саған сенеміз. Алла Тағала ақ жолыңды беріп жекпе жекті сәтті өткізуіңді нәсіп етсін. Салем 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿
I'm beyond shocked that WB accepted this fight...
Shavkat is true bogeeman
I'm looking forward to this match more than I have in awhile
oh hell yeah this is the fight im looking forward too.... shavkat big fan ....lets go brother , its your time
My heart goes out to Wonderboy relatives.
thing with shavkat is that he can be rocked fairly easily, but he will still try to walk forward while dazed. Pretty sure WB can take advantage of this.
There both badasses
Shavkat 🔥🇰🇿
can't believe that wonderboy is now 40
High five, back in line
Both good guys and fighters.
Shavkat's wrestling coach, Eduard Bazrov also coached first Kazakh Freestyle Wrestling World Champion - Rizabek Aitmukhan
Ой котің қысш!Не болса соны кыстыра бермей
Shavkat's a monster, I know, but my heart will always be on Wonderboy's side till the end, one last run at the title let's goo❤🥋🔥
Probably the most anticipated fight in the world, I’m from Kazakhstan and I respect Stephen very much as a very worthy opponent in the UFC
Shavkat the new champ🥶🥶🔥
lest goou Shavkar Rahmanov 🇰🇿🇰🇿✊✊ Kazakhstan
Shavkat 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿
Вот это серьёзное испытание для Рахмонова.
Shavkat 🇰🇿
LETS GO WONDERBOY!!
Rakhmonov☝️
Wondergirl
@@mirai4652 wonderboy late stoppage tko win
@@ezworkbro9057Rakhmonov finish by 2 round
I don’t think this is as easy a fight as I see a lot of people making it out to be. I’m taking WB as the underdog. My mind still tells me Shavkat wins, but I see WB’s striking and speed being a problem for him. Shavkat doesn’t move his head and WB is precise. Gonna be interesting.
LETS GO ŞAVKAT, WE ARE WITH OUR QAZAQ BROTHER 🇰🇿🐺🇹🇷🐺
ALHAMDULILLAh!!!
Ассалаумағалейкум! Шавхат бауырым ' тек плға🙏✊️
Shavkat🇰🇿❤
Шавкат алга игилик сага туганым пойус сеники
I love Wonderboy but this is by far his toughest fight Shavkhat is an all around monster, wonderboy is so loyal to his style of karate but if he did freestyle wrestling that would be a banger
Wonderboy will probably retire if he loses to The Nomad. 😢
Idk about that, he still has 4 fights left on his contract including this one
My brother from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿. I root for him. 💪🏻
Shavkat 🇰🇿☝️
Шавкат алға !!!!
Алғашқы Қазақ 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿 ЮФС чемпионы🥇🥇🥇 болады ин шаа Аллаһ 🤲🏼🤲🏼🤲🏼
Shavkat Rakhmonov ✊
I would absolutely be thrilled if Shavkat kept it standing with Wonderboy and it becomes a striking war, BUT most likely Shav will do the dry hump ground game as soon as he gets outclassed in the striking. Very impressed with Thompson for taking this fight nonetheless.
3:20 Абай Құнанбаев. Біздің бабамыз!
Alga Kazakhstan Shavkhat 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿
Its only 3 rounds, i think this could be a huge factor. Shavkat is the favourite of course & rightfully so. But if wonderboy out points Shavkat in rounds 1 & 2 by fighting a safe points stratergy, avoiding take downs & not getting into exchanges all by keeping at distance. Round 3 is gonna be very, very interesting.
This fight will end early
shavkat destroys wonderboy easily
Wonderboy needs a ko to win 😅
😂 Easily? He does have defensive/grappling holes that can be improved.
I really like Shavkat style and demeanour but I been following Wonderboy for a long time and he’s really the NMF, wish him all the best, he more than deserves it
Shavkat 🤲🏻🇰🇿🔥🤙🏻
Shavkat winner 🇰🇿🔥☝🏽
How sweet 😊 Shavkat is going to help him become full time Karate teacher. Lovely.
i’m gonna be so happy if wonderboy can pull this off
At his age its a win if he can walk to the cage
@@chiquita683somebody has never heard of Dan Henderson
More hyped for this one than for the main event
Absolutely love Wonderboy. It's gonna be hard seeing him lose vs Rakhmonov. Gonna be an amazing fight.
ШАВКАТ 100% выиграет 🦅🇰🇿
Wonderboy gonna shock the world, lets gooooooo
Шавқат Рахмонов болашақ чемпион!!! Алға Қазақстан!
💪🇰🇿
Шауқатқа жеңіс тілейміз .
I love Stephen for who he is as a person and as a fighter, but at the same time it would be sick seeing Shavkat fight for the belt he possess such a warrior like spirit a true representation of a true modern Turk fighter
The wonderboy might have a chance if he can keep his distance, but if Rakhmonov plays tight and close then Thompson's chances will be slim.
This is the real main event
SHAVKAT ABOUT TO BE 18-0🔥🔥🔥
Шавкат Рахмонов💪💪💪💪
Wonder Boy is betting it all on this one Shavkat is a Monster!!!
Shavkat is champ!!! 🇰🇿 🇰🇿 🇰🇿
It's so great finally to hear kazakh language at this level in UFC promos. 🥳🥳🥳
This is bringing back so many memories... I'm from Simpsonville. Those apartments next to the water tower were always ridiculously expensive but we had a friend who lived there. Good times.
Rakhmonov will be the champion soon 🤌
I wouldn’t mind either one winning I love them both
love them both, dont want either to lose.
Shavkhat Champion! Alga Qazaqstan! 🙏🇰🇿
All this video did is reinforce how bad I don’t want to see Wonderboy lose 😢
Let's go Shavkat
Rakhmanov'a Türkiye'den sevgiler! Tengri biz menen!
Can't believe I'm rooting against Wonderboy. Such a good dude.
