      You guys are comparing Islam to his coach, I hope you know that. I've been a sub on AKA channel and coach Javier channel for years, I've have conversations with him many times. Please understand that khabib taught Islam everything he knows, so you can't compare them, it's not fair. It's like comparing basketball or football teams to teams ten years ago. Everything evolves, and these competitors know this, and anticipated it, Islam stand-up is far superior, but that's the nature of the team teaching him that he needs this because his ground game is top in game. But guess who pushed him into learning his striking better? Khabib and javy, so just stop the comparisons

    “They all want to be MMA fighters. This new generation of Dagestan fighters are going to be high level.”
    It’s incredible to think that one man’s legacy Abdul Nurmagomedov, has not only put Dagestan on the map but has inspired a generation of fighters. Seeing the current Dagestani Team has been nothing short of iconic. Imagine what’s to come. It’s amazing at the impact of one man.

      With Khabib as the godfather of Dagestani MMA, maybe the Godfather of Muslim MMA, there's an entire generation of hungry Greco-Roman wrestlers, Sambo practitioners and Judokas who'll dominate the sport for at least a couple of decades. Eagle FC rules the roost in Eastern European MMA rn and they'll be the standard in that region for a long time.

      You clearly have no idea about Dagestan, and whole Caucasus region. The talent pool in Caucasus have been incredible foe decades, dominating most Olympic combat sports. Abdul Nurmagomedov is just a very small part of much larger combat culture.
      E.g. In Olympic wrestling it has been pretty much North Iran, Dagestan, Chechnya, Ossetia, or one of the small Caucasus nations picking up gold every year since at least 1980s (excluding rise if U.S wrestlers since post Soviet era).

      Being Muslim doesn't mean you know Arabic. As a Muslim you have to know surah al-Fātiha from the Quran to be able to perform the obligatory 5 prayers a day and few praisings and supplications within the prayer, that's it. And people maybe know few words here and there, due to the fact that some Arabic words have been integrated into their language. Even in non Muslim countries it's the case, like in Serbian, we have many Arabized words, which the Ottomans brought to us, or even in English, like the words _Sheriff, Sirup_ or _Zero_

    If this fight went beyond 3 rounds, Volkanovski, who had 12 days' notice, might be affected. Going beyond 3 rounds can be tough without a full camp.
    However, the fight got finshed with a head kick knockout in the first round, and that kick was intentional, not accidental. So, there IS NO EXCUSE of short notice. This is a solid victory for Islam Makhachev. - Joe Rogan.
    Actually, it was Volk who was supposed to Ko Islam in the first round. It was his only chance. Islam beat him in his own game.
    Islam submitted the best submission artist,
    Now he KO'd the best Ko artist.
    13 fights win streak, T most in the history of UFC LW.
