![Khabib on the importance of community, selling vegetables and life in business [FULL INTERVIEW]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/cu9Ry2eSr-U/mqdefault.jpg)
My father gave me the greatest gift on earth! "He believed in me!"
Underrated comment
Gotta be a wise person to quote that. 👍
It didn’t take long to realize how good a person his dad was just by the way Khabib speaks and how he carries himself.
Jumping the cage to kick a coach? Making homeless man do push ups for money? Come on dudie.
@@jj691 conner punched an old man at a bar saadd
Ryan Joseph You’re a buster. Straight up.
Ryan Joseph stop being fanboy its not about what khabib or conor did. Ufc is show business most of the things we saw is fake. Khabib lost his father and you gotta be respectful. Stop being childish and face the real life loser!
Why are people even bringing up Conor? He said Khabib made homeless people pushup for money while filming and laughing. Conor is a jackass yes but just because he is doesnt mean Khabib isnt?
It's very poignant that the first UFC event to take place following the passing of Abdulmanap will be in Abu Dhabi where he cornered Khabib last September, the only UFC event he ever attended with his son.
He has actually been at other ufc events just by cornering other fighters
Cause usa didnt allow him come to his fights.
He cornered islam once at ufc 207/8 I think
I had the honour to be there live
@@dantdt4693
As noted literally 35 seconds in to this video....
I can’t imagine the pain khabib is enduring right now
Neither can I since I've never had a father🤣🤣🤣🤣
*cries on the inside

Panda Pancakes
You er special the way you are
@@pandapancakes37 yea I have one but we don't have a relationship and I tend to not have emotions
Panda Pancakes it hearts more losing something that you always had from something you never had
More people need to know about the work Abdulmanap did to get Dagestani youth away from extremism. Amazing man
And you know that is true to his core when he said he forgives conor, and invited him to go to dagestan. Killing with kindness and maturity in their acts... Well bred they were by this legend.
And he didn't make them stay out of extremism by keeping them away from their religion but by embracing it to become good guys and not bad guys. When you see khabib a devout Muslim being one of DC's closest friends, it shows you that AbdulManap taught these young men to respect and love others and smash them ofc, may he rest in peace 🙏
Lol. Go find out why Abdulmanap was banned from going to almost all countries in the world besides Russia and the Middle East.
@A Gun why dont you be a big boy and look it up yourself.
Wow never knew this ..
To God belongs all sovereignty and everything, and to him is our return.

Amin
Without the slightest doubt.

A man dies when he is forgotten but abdulmanap is a legend for many & for the Ufc community he trained so many fighters and his influence and legacy will last forever and will not be forgotten ❣️
Abdulmanap surpassed more than just the UFC community he impacted and will forever be a legend for the MMA community
When do you think people die? When they are shot through the heart by the bullet of a pistol? No. When they are ravaged by an incurable disease? No. When they drink a soup made from a poisonous mushroom!? No! It’s when… they are forgotten.

@@thiranosaurus Great quote... From One Piece...
how will he be remembered forever when the universe is finite?
@Average Mo meaning in time not size just to clarify, one day there will be no stars to create mass in this universe and all will collapse back to the singularity
So where’s the people that were badmouthing Khabib for not coming to America to fight Tony during the quarantine?
America still 40.000 cases per day now
Edit : what i see now cases per day jump to 64.000
AlmostWins I’m pretty sure that number is exaggerated by the media to govern the people through fear
@@reddragon52894 yeah that's a little too high
@@reddragon52894 The american way.. "But they are the worlds best country!! Gods own!!" Yeah right dude
@@reddragon52894 there's over 300 million people living in the states I don't think those numbers are exaggerated
I miss my father he passed away 11 months ago. I wasn't as closed to him as Khabib with his father but I was devastated. I can only imagine how Khabib feels right now. He's a beautiful human being.
Just lost my father these days..I would do anything just to have 5' with him to talk with him and hug him
@Violet rose Thank you sis. Hope you are doing well. We have to stay strong for the people that love us.
My dad also just passed away on November 21st of 2022 I understand khabibs pain 💔 😢 I hope both of ya have a blessed life and know there will be good days n bad days but khabib dad whold definitely be proud of him and Islam
YOUR dad will be too . Make him proud live a life that impacts everyone in a positive way .
stay strong My prayers are with you.
you comment is 2y old but .
i hope you are doing well lots of prayers for you
Rest in peace
He was the Royce gracie of Dagestan/ Russia
Khabib? Cuz when it comes to his father, he'd be more like the Helio Gracie.
Probably more like Helio Gracie
I think u guys lost ur mind. The gracies ARE mixed martial arts. Inventing a combat art still used 2day is historic compared 2 being a great coach or fighter.
@@eshai27 are you brain dead??? you comparing a man who invented a sport with a man who was a great coach... but not HELIO GRACIE....
more like the cus d'amato
Abdulmanap was an amazing man, always nice, humble and polite. Watch his and Khabib's awesome story and life in the episodes of Dagestan Chronicles on Anatomy of a Fighter channel...
If my daughter comes back with a guy who’s half the man of dc, I’ll be happy. This guy is a legend.
Better hope the guy doesn’t like to eye poke
@@Ice-tz8jd he won't eye poke, but he'll poke.
Agreed man
Khabib and DC friends ship will grow more stronger after Khabib father passed away Khabib truly needs his true royel friend like DC more then ever.
I’d love to see that ship
The Eagle needs AKA, Javier Mendez, his American dad and DC to help through the mourning period.
khabib was gonna retire soon but his dad told him not to, ik he ain’t losing not one of his next fights
Alll i know is conor better not pop up again, khabib aint in no fkn moood for bullshiet from here on out
@@helpoj yeah, think he fights Tony next. Also crazy he never apologized for accusing khabib of lying (all because of his cousin? Lame asl) meanwhile he prolly was fr trying to take care of his pops
TONY
Roy Nelson I feel like you are the first person that has it all right. I agree with everything you said here. I also truly believe Gaethje is a completely different beast now. Is in enough to sure fire beat Khabib? I don’t think so but he can catch him. I feel like this Gaethje vs Porier now would play out differently.
@tha Dude there still is a good chance Gaethje smacks Khabib like he did to Tony.
So much respect Cormier speaking from his heart
I had special bond with my dad maybe half of what Khabib had. My dad passed away 9 years ago, i have a beautiful family, wife and kids successful job but i still feel incomplete. I cant even imagine what Khabib is feeling...
A piece of you went with him, but he put a piece of of himself in your heart when he passed away.
@erikcarrillo33 thanks broda
@erikcarrillo33 It sounds like you handled things the right way man. My dad left when i was 12, im 20 now and years have passed. But things never were the same. I messed up my a important part of my life (got involved with drugs and messed up school). I have a feeling one of the reasons that happened is because i forgot he was watching me as the years went by. The regret i feel can't be put to words, but i'm slowly picking my life back up.
Friendship goals DC and Khabib!!
Thanks Ariel and Daniel for this short interview.
I’ve never been upset about the deaths of strangers, but here straight tears come to my eyes and a lump in my throat. Rest in peace, Abdulmanap. You was a great person.
I still have a heavy heart having heard of this great man's passing, very sad.
DC is such a good guy, bless you champ
DC is such a good dude. Much love, good sir.
Ufc should tribute him. I am sorry but i feel like they dont give him the credit he deserves (Khabib is the only one who talked about him), this man helped and changed the life of a lot of people who were nothing (Khabib, Islam, Zabit, Usman, Umar, etc etc etc) and changed the game
Ufc care about money. They even don't care about fighters leave their coaches or family.
Not zabit, he was not his trainer if I'm right
Wht.z he grew up with them so I guess he trained with the rest for some time until he found a new trainer.
@@abdoul8115 he used to train with Mr Abdulmanap before. There was a vid showing him training at the mountain together with the rest of Mr Abdulmanap's students.
@@annabravo4337 I just watched the video posted by RT sport, "special épisode of 'dagestan,...' where abdulmanap praise other russian fighters which he didn't train i guess and he talk about zabit. (it's at the end 15:30~)
I absolutely love DC. He is a class act!!! 🙏🏼
Rest easy :(
@Dakota Cruthis 😄
Heartbroken DC makes me sad 💔
May god have mercy upon him and forgive his sinsالله يرحمه ويسكنه فسيح جناته
I know you, and you hate on DC but in reality you hate yourself. I hope you dismiss your abusive self from this life.
Its hard not to laugh at your username 😂 and it fits the comment
May god have mercy upon him and forgive his sinsالله يرحمه ويسكنه فسيح جناته
Got me in tears a lil bit especially when he was wrestling with the young kid mma has lost a true legend
Such nice words to say about his friend and his dad. Classy dude!
very sad to here of the passing of Abulmanap Nurmagomedov,
Agreed. But it's also sad that you never passed spelling class
Jeez somebody wrote something heartfelt..... Then someone points out about a full stop.... This is how sad our world is today, think someone needs to work on there emotions and what's really important.
@Washington Is Next! that's why I didn't respond 😂
@Moustache? Mustang the correct punctuation is: "Oh shut up, stop crying."
No joke but the day that he died.
At around 3 am while I was working, out of the blue i started to think about him and his health and how sad he must be .
*BUT AS I LOOKED AT KHABIBS FATHER IN CZcams*
There it was , a CZcams post I think it was, it wasn't a vid . And there he was, Abdulmanap, and it said he passed away.
Like what a coincidence? 😳
DC is a genuine human being. That is also the reason why Khabib became such good friends with him.
Man. That’s tough. God bless them man. It’s tough to lose a family member.
REST IN PEACE MR NURMAGOMEDOV
may he rest in peace and go to heaven Inshallah
🙏
Ameen
Gotta love Dc REAL DEAL EVER THING THAT IS 100 that he says what he means
Yeah DC should be father figure to Kabib.Get his career through unbeaten 🕊️
I’m not a fan of Khabib but I do send my condolences to him an his family. It’s very hard to lose someone that close to you.
Why are you not his fan? Please explain. From his fights to the way he treats people.
I thought you make fans by winning fights and winning peoples hearts and he did that.
He was a noble man. 🙏🏾
ABSOLUTELY.
a pure soul
DC is genuinely just so nice. I know how fond he is of khabib and him offering his shoulder just then like that moved me so much. With amazing friends like you DC, I knows this will mean the world to khabib.
DC... Great dude supporting his friend.
Those who put dislikes under this video - what's wrong with you?
Innah lillahi wa innah ilayhi ra,ajihoon peace be with you and your family khabib
Khabib will not lose his next fight. He will get that W for his dad. #29-0
@Washington Is Next! Stfu khabib is retiring undefeated champion like it or hate it.
@Washington Is Next! Totally perfect excuse 👌😂
Washington Is Next! Mctapper fan triggered ❌
Washington Is Next! Sometimes truth hurts accept it
@Washington Is Next! pathetic, you're talking about a man who didn't even know you exist, you're insignificant.
Respect to you guys for doing this! This shows real love and dedication for the Nurmagomedovs and MMA
DC is such a good human and for sure an amazing friend!
Heart warming, thx for sharing D.C.
Khabib is a warrior, & has the mindset of great warriors, they don't lay down just because a loved one dies, they get up stronger than ever....Gathje is about to face a different level of Khabib, a bigger & angrier pissed off Eagle
💯
may god have mercy on justin
Watch the video of Khabib being frustrated by reporters asking him the same questions over and again and then his face lighting up after he decided to just spend the rest of his time talking about his dad with them. He was like a little boy proudly talking about his superhero with the greatest joy.
Peace upon his soul
Daggestan will miss him dearly
Thanks to brother DC, for the tribute to khabib's dad
My heart goes for habib , his family and all his friends.
Brother habib, God is great, and we are all destined to leave Earth and start the real journey.
Love you brother,
Ufc need to introduce Abdul manap on hall of famer
Come on. Im all for honoring people, but he’s not a UFC hall of famer.
Sal Vulcano based on?
Dena Wojt coaching khabib ALONE to be where he is now is enough to deserve hall of fame, let alone all of the other fighters in the dagestani region
srmh Still not changing my mind. As Ariel said, if there was a MMA hall of fame, he would be there. But not UFC hall of fame.
The words that you share about Jim are so heart feeling and trust Worthing. Thank you guys so much.
What a blessed men and fathers to be remembered like this. I feel only respect and admiration for him.
A good hearted person breaks through the boundaries of race & religion and seeing all the positive comments makes me wanna tear up
Dc is such a real person that I love
Every time this dude (DC) talks, he lets you feel his class. Really a great guy.
May his soul rest in the perfect peace. Greatest father and son relationship
Great words from a true friend DC
may all fathers rest in peace ✌🏻
Great man DC , you are very polite and humble.
Thank you DC
Thank you very much DC for the support
And the love u hv for Khabib
DC is so kind, nice and great person.
Sounds like he was a great human being.
I feel so bad for Khabib because he was never shy about talking about the love and respect he has for his father.
DC is such humble and honest guy.
Seemed like a genuine good man.
khabib's father did not only left lasting impressions on people he met, but also on people who watched his videos, who watched him on internet.....i cried when i heard that he died.....i felt like someone near and dear to me, a relative, died.........he is in jannah now....and i will meet him there
He is a legend of mma sport
I hope this makes him even more stronger cuz we all know how much his father means to him. It can affect him really bad but, hope that won’t be the case!
It's like you DC..its genuine 🇨🇦
Thankyou guys..you have know idea how I love this 🥊🇨🇦
DC is great man i love him
Big an sad sad loss to the mma community 😢 true example of a humble , loyal , respectful man
This DC is a class act. A good heart on this guy. Very evident.
When I heard the news for the first time man it hit me hard.
"one day we will all meet again"
My heart is heavy for Khabib.
dc is a gem too. love dc xavier habib and all his family. habib and dagestani are honourable people.
I'm so crushed for Khabib
Dc is such a wonderful brother and role model ❤️ i hope him great luck and happiness 🤞
DC is the man. Watch over your Brother DC. I feel for Khabib. God Bless him and his family.
Your a good man, DC.
That was pretty awesome to hear coming from one of the baddest men on the planet.
Beautifully said DC
The friendship between DC and Khabib is so special.. I love DC he is a real man and real friend
A father and a good family are the pillars of life itself
Love DC. He's such a good dude.
My father is the most important person in my life. Knowing how I'd feel if I lost my dad, I can't even fathom what Khabib is enduring.
You can tell DC has learned so much from Khabib and vice versa. So much respect in the sport brought by them it’s amazing and refreshing to see today.
The Legend of Abdulmanap lives on
Rest in peace 🙏
DC is pure class what a great friend he would be and is. By far the classiest fighter in mma
And biggest crybaby
This is why kids need their fathers.
Abdul Manaf is a friend, father, and also the best trainer ever to the village and the Khabib team hopefully gets the best for all
massive respect to DC...hes like khabib elder brother
Thanks you dc a true champion
Respect to DC , such a great guy
Rest in Peace Great Sir
DC you are real hero and champ.and also you are the best friend of habib numagomedov ever .it is rare ti have such agood and brave friend
I know exactly what Khabib is feeling right now, i had a very similar bond with my father and i come from a family with the same exact culture. It is fatal and i went through the hospital a couple of times because of heartaches and similar problems because i couldnt take the sorrow anymore. However, Khabib is tougher than me for sure.
It hurts to be estranged from my total let down of a father...i can't imagine the pain of losing a father like Abdul. But to his sons you have no idea how lucky you were to have had him
Abdul manap we all miss You 💔 you are in jannah Alhamdulillah
DC always good big brother to Khabib
