I was surprised, alot of coaches just boast about their guys and try to instill fake confidence... His coach was an honest guy, you need people who give you cold hard truth! -
He still fought sharp regardless... Hot dang bto And wont lie, the first Volk fight is one of the most I see fighters that looks sooo miserable (in cage, not after weight scale)
Arman has a very good and honest coach,he is right if Arman fights Islam now is going lose,he not good enough at the moment,he needs to focus on training,as his coach says.
Are u stupid. U just said volk team sucks but not volk. Volk did very good performance aganist a bigger man islam in the first fight. Volk for sure above than islam in the goat list. Iam also a fan of islam
Great upload thank you and thank you to whoever did the subtitles. It's going to be a great matchup. Quite refreshing to see a coach being so realistic about their fighter and opponent
Thxs for the English translation, i really appreciate and astonished as how Russian always ask better questions and the answer is so justifying, the language is straight to the fact
For once, a guy giving full credit to Makhachev's skillset without looking for excuses. What a change ! For Arman's trainer, to say something like that about a guy that Arman's already fought in the past, that means Makhachev is a freaking beast and that he's improved tremendously since 2019. Arman is the #1contender at 155 lbs by a mile, and his coach is saying stuff like that...That should be demoralizing for the other contenders. No wonder Makhachev is -500 favorite against Poirier...
Arman needs to be thankful for his team and coaches.. If he got the same team and coaches like volk, he will enter early retirement 😅 but I really wanna watch this fight..very interesting fight 👊
Anybody's chance beating Islam will only begin at -+3 years from now, before that just forget it, a fighter as elite as Islam will only can be beaten when he is out of motivation and begin to decline physically
Thank you very much for this video especially the translate, and im very impressed with their honest answers and also with the journalist quality questions, we used to heard mainstream mma media from usa who are in very low level in mma knoledge aspect 😊
And this is why Arman will be a champion after Islam retires, he has coaches who tell him exactly how it is, without sugar coating the facts. Well done sirs 👍
First guy speaks facts and is truthful, Islam dominated a charles olivera that was on a win streak and nobody thought could do. Islam dominated and subbed him out. Where as arman struggle and had too many openings. And ended the fight getting choked by charles. Only won via split decision, could call it a robbery
Arman’s coaches are really knowledgeable. That ladder once trip,it’s hard to climb.If he win ok,if he loses which the coaches don’t have much confidence in his skills,he might it might be another 2 or 3 years to get a shot at the title again or might never get it again. You should go for the belt, not the person sitting on the throne
Arman is blessed to have a good coach. Right now he is probably the one with the highest chance to beat Islam, but if he fights Islam now than he would be truly relying on chance to win. Volk wasn't blessed with the same realistic coaches. Such talent, wasted by fools.
I think Arman is a future lightweight champion, but just after Islam's reign. Arman is super talented but I just don't see him beating Islam. But who knows for sure? MMA is an unpredictable sport sometimes.
The 1st highest strike aссuracy, 4th highest takedown accuracy and 2nd highest takedown defense belongs Islam in the UFC lightweight history. Arman саn't finish him. Весаuse Islam's striking defense is extremely high. We saw his performance in his last fights (Oliveira, Poirier and Volkanovski). 3 perfect fighters couldn't finish him. Arman couldn't finish Charles Oliveira, Matt Frevola, Damir Ismagulov, Mateusz Gamrot and Olivier Aubin Mercier. He hasn't submission in UFC. But Islam has the longest active win streak and 10 finishes in UFC lightweight division. He will be UFC welterweight or middleweight champion
Қайырлы таң, Арман өте жақсы деймін, Арман əлі бəрін істей алмайды, игеріп алсаң бірінші өзіңді жетілдіру керек, салауатты бəсекелестік, екеуі де жекпе-жекке, түсіндіремін, түсінуге оңай деймін, мұны істеу, өзіңізді жаттықтыру оңай нәрсе емес, сізде бәрі болуы керек, бір сөзбен айтқанда мінсіз ....
i mean i agree with everyones statement except for mokaevs arman faced stylistically harder and even better opponents than Islam , islams only advantages are that he has more 5 round fights and that he is in his prime whilst arman isn't there yet imagine arman in 5 years facing Islam,clearly Islam wouldn't have a chance, for a reason they wanted to face arman without a full training camp islams time is passing and armans times yet to come
Arman faced "harder and even better opponents than Islam" ? Tell me who ? Last time i checked, Arman's best opponent was Islam...By far. They both fought Oliveira and Davi Ramos; Islam finished Oliveira in 7 minutes and whooped Ramos with a 30-26 decision. Arman won by the skin of his teeth vs Oliveira and won a boring a** decision vs Ramos. Arman couldn't get the nod vs Gamrot, had a tough time with Aubin-Mercier, and Joaquim Silva almost knocked him out. And don't tell me Dariush, Frevola and Giagos are bad matchups for Islam. Dariush is a smaller, slower, less technical version of Charles Oliveira. Giagos is a prelim fighter, and Frevola is just a "bum version" of Benoit St-Denis: A short, stocky wrestler with heavy hands who can only fight in a phonebooth. Arman's biggest accomplshment in the UFC so far was winning the 2nd round vs Islam in St-Petersburg, back in 2019. FACTS.
@@shadowzeenko3653 you don't see the bigger picture Islam who hasn't faced a single tough matchup for him vs arman who's faced way tougher opposition at a younger age without any bullshit stipulation that Islam had, cherry-picking opponents, fighting opponents on short notice... Armans climb through the ranks is way more impressive no bullshit conditions just a consistent fighter
@@Bravo6goindark Makhachev fought a bunch of wrestlers and grapplers, and beat the two most talented and most well-rounded fighters there is from 145 to 155. There wasn't any "bulls*** conditions"; just people craping their pants and refusing to show up. Ask Beneil Dariush & Charles Oliveira about that... Tsarukyan lost to Gamrot and fought a bunch of mid-tier opposition, just like Islam did when he was climbing up the rankings. Nothing crazy. People just love to s*** on Makhachev for no reason and make up false narratives just to put the "Dana White privilege" stamp on his forehead. Tsarukyan beating Frevola by decision isn't impressive. St-Denis took him out in 2 minutes. Tsarukyan beating Ismagulov the way he did isn't impressive. Dawson did it better. Tsarukyan fighting for his life vs Silva isn't impressive. Tsarukyan getting outworked by Gamrot isn't impressive. Tsarukyan wrestle-f***** Aubin-Mercier for 3 rounds isn't impressive. Tsarukyan barely surviving vs Oliveira isn't impressive. Makhachev sent Oliveira back to the Bronx in under 2 rounds. Once again, facts.
@@Bravo6goindark u sound like a cry baby who did not get his lollypop😂🤣 So u r saying dt unbeaten oliveira, unbeaten volk, poirier, hooker, green, tibau, ramos were not good fighters😂😂😂 Atleast back up ur comment with facts not whims kiddo
All these idiots who say Arman will lose said the same thing about him in the Olivera fight. If you think you can compare two fighters based on a performance over another fighter they both beat and how they beat that fighter, you don’t understand the sport.
That’s called being objective, based on the performances these two fighters put out on display. In Arman’s case, his coach has additional insight regarding his skills, apart from what we saw in official fights. Nobody is saying Arman has zero chance of winning, they’re talking about probability. If Arman immediately takes the fight against Makhachev, his chances of losing is higher. Doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have potential to improve his game in the future. If you can’t understand simple case of ‘probability’, perhaps you are the idiot..
Arman was not impressive at all in that fight to be honest. He does showed his heart and that's impressive but charles was literally catching him big. I was not impressed with his performance. If gaethjea would have beat max I'm 1000% sure dana would have given gaethjea shot at islam. Arman need more than a year. Except for his dariush win none of his wins has domination. His boxing skills are embarrassing to watch he just throws with no vision and his ground and pound isn't impressive at all.
This is simply not true. Arman couldn't deal with Gamrot's striking...His face looked like a pizza after that fight... "Heavy hands"...Only if you can reach your target... He couldn't land a glove on Islam. Just because he knocked out Dariush doesn't mean he's a bigger threat than he was back then. Dariush has no head movement and he can only fight moving forward. Arman's chin got tested by Joaquim Silva; remember ? He had to "panic-wrestle" to stay in this fight...
arman is blessed to have a coach like that
I was surprised, alot of coaches just boast about their guys and try to instill fake confidence... His coach was an honest guy, you need people who give you cold hard truth! -
Arman is also ridiculously rich from a powerful rich connected family that also helps!!! The UFC did not make him rich he was born rich
Hella rare for a fighter or their coach to acknowledge the other fighter is better and would more likely to win
4:26 “Islam suffered from food poisoning before [Arman 1st fight]” actually an overlooked detail
This was shocking to hear! I had no idea
That was crazy to hear
He still fought sharp regardless...
Hot dang bto
And wont lie, the first Volk fight is one of the most I see fighters that looks sooo miserable (in cage, not after weight scale)
Excuses..
First time hearing about it 5 years after the fight, no excuses 🤣🤣🤣
Arman has a very good and honest coach,he is right if Arman fights Islam now is going lose,he not good enough at the moment,he needs to focus on training,as his coach says.
he is not training him anymore
@@ИгнатКуликов-х9ю since when ?
@@cave129 He was not training him for the fight with Charles allready.
Very rare for a coach to be this honest about their fighter.
I was thinking the same as soon after he made that statement. The best coach! He really knows when his students are ready👍🏼
@@Marleys-pi9xk he is not training him anymore
Arman's team is at least realistic unlike Volks team who have sent him on a losing streak . Both are not on Islam's level
Are u stupid. U just said volk team sucks but not volk. Volk did very good performance aganist a bigger man islam in the first fight. Volk for sure above than islam in the goat list. Iam also a fan of islam
Like Islam said; Its not Volk's fault, his team is to blame!
Well tbf no amount of preparation saves you from a headkick KO. The big mistake they made was taking the Topuria fight so soon after getting slept.
Give up before trying mindset. Good luck in life.
@@PL___ Yeah but you have to use your brain sometimes as well. Volk shouldn't have come back so quickly against Ilia

Arman needs to be thankful for his team and coaches.. If he got the same team and coaches like volk, he will enter early retirement 😅 but I really wanna watch this fight..very interesting fight 👊
the only interesting fight for Islam nowadays is Shavkat or Leon, none at LW is at Islam's level right now
He got great team supporting him. They're not yes man and only speak fact and thats really important for a fighter in order to see clearly.
Contrast to Volk n his team thinking they can beat Makachev on 11 days notice in Abu Dhabi
When they couldn't do with 12 week camp also when Makachev was dehydrated
I am so pleased to hear this. This is the happiest i have been in a while with an interview.
Anybody's chance beating Islam will only begin at -+3 years from now, before that just forget it, a fighter as elite as Islam will only can be beaten when he is out of motivation and begin to decline physically
Honest and loyal coach well spoken, in my own opinion I do think nobody will stop Islam.. he is next level
First time I have ever seen this .. realistic of his pupils skills and acknowledging the skills of the opponent.
Thank you very much for this video especially the translate, and im very impressed with their honest answers and also with the journalist quality questions, we used to heard mainstream mma media from usa who are in very low level in mma knoledge aspect 😊
Makhachev will beat Arman.. again and again...
And this is why Arman will be a champion after Islam retires, he has coaches who tell him exactly how it is, without sugar coating the facts.
Well done sirs 👍
Makes sense, arman is good, give credit where due... Islam is just a beast in the cage though 🔥 💯 i
thank you Yuka btw for this gem video✌️
When Arman coaches said Islam is better than that Islam of their firs fight but haters said Arman almost beat him in short notice 😅

What will all of you say if Arman beats Islam? In mma anything is possible, remember that.
Islam has to be more alert, because Arman's is more realistic and prepares for boss level fights
Anything can happen in MMA. He should focus entirely on Poirier right now.
