@@skylerpalakiko8052 Neither of those guys are world champions from Oregon. And as far as I know, there have only been two, so Chael must have included himself in typical bad guy fashion. The two champions from Oregon were Rick Sanders and Les Gutches.
I'm 41 seconds in, and astonished, the best wrestler in the world offers his services to Conor to train for Khabib, and Conor doesn't take the help??? Insane
Some facts. Khabib is from Sildi, population ~208. At the Rio Olympics, Dagestani wrestlers won five freestyle medals. At the 2017 Russian Freestyle National Championships, 9 of 16 finalists were Dagestani. Dagestanis often transfer to and wrestle for other countries. Dagestan is famous for its "Legionaries". In Rio at 86 kilos, half the medalists from the USA's Jorden Cox's weight class were from Dagestan, the other was from the nearby Republic of Ingushetia. Wrestling is part of Dagestani culture. Every kid in Dagestan grows up surrounded by wrestling. It's part of the fabric of daily life.
@@Graciehunter32 No one cares about the dumb Russian. He’s not more accomplished and Jordan has 6 gold world championships and has been dominating since 2011. He just won again last year. I think your just mad a black American is more dominate than a corrupt Russian. 😭
@@jabmalassie its not just wrestling, its sambo too(mma with gi, more grappling focused and little less competitive) thats why these guys are so good in mma. Fighting just big part of their culture.
I heard Khabib didn't say that. When you translate Russian it's not entirely accurate. "Jordan Burroughs is engaged in his own wrestling training" instead of helping Conor, translated to Jordan NEEDING training. I remember people saying there was a mistranlation.
That actually makes more sense. Khabib seems like a very respectful man, unless you disrespect him, his family or people 1st. Like what Conor did and paid the price, “Let’s talk now let’s talk!” 😂
I’ve known who Jordan Burroughs is since college when he wrestled someone from my little village in the NCAA national championship. I also had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of years ago and got his autograph and got to watch him practice. He is a world class athlete. There’s no denying that!
That’s what surprises me a lot. The fact that these guys are high level fighters and sometimes don’t understand what they are talking about. I base this off from the content I’ve seen. You’d think they’d be pretty accurate in their analysis
This is a great perspective that I never thought about. Chael’s expertise on the sport of fighting is next to none in the podcasting world. Fantastic show!

In Rio at 86 kilos, half the medalists from the USA's J'den Cox's weight class were from Dagestan, the other was from the nearby Republic of Ingushetia"
if I remember right, people from Dagestan do not even call themselves Dagestani, as the Dagestan is merely a territory that has a lot of small nations within, Khabib in particular is an Avar, the largest nation of Dagestan. There are also Lezgins, Dargins, Laks, Tabasarans and many more, they all have their own languages and cultures. As to why they do not consider themselves Russians, there are multiple reasons. Majority of North Caucasus nations were conquered by Russia in 19th century or some, and are mostly Muslim, as opposed to mostly orthodox Christian Russians. They tend to stick more to their religion and their traditions and do not respect Russians for their habits such as drinking and other matters that Muslim own religious laws forbid. In general, Caucasians have stereotypes for Russians as a drunkard lowlifes with no regard to traditions such as respect for elders etc, while Russians have their own stereotypes about Caucasians as savages and criminals.
Not quite. Orthodoxy does not forbid drinking nearly as severe as Islam. I do not think that Fedor is admired significantly more in North Caucasus than other notable fighters, evident by the case with children MMA tournaments when Fedor's criticizm of children MMA fights (under 12 y.o, according to laws they cannot be even present at MMA events, let alone fight in one) earned him hostile reaction from Chechnya, Dagestan etc.
No, you a wrong. Dagestanians call themselves Dagestanians if they are outside their republic and when they are asked about nationality. Inside republic they know each other by their correct ethnicity
@@Sam-ng3of Russian, in terms of nationality. They are in no way your normal Slavic Russian, they are Caucasian, or specifically Avar. They say they are Russian due to their legal nationality.
Chael I love your commentaries man, you are very even handed and allow listeners to sift the raw data and come up with their own conclusions. Respect to you.
Rohaan Rane Vato Right bro. Adam won gold in all matches but bronze in his last match, whereas his other bro, Buvaisar won gold in all matches. Dagestan is a goldmine of wrestlers and martial artists. Sadulaev is also a Dagestani. In fact they have so many wrestlers and martial artists that many of them go to other countries to represent them. I mean, Dagestanis won Russia some gold, some Dagestanis won Gold for Azerbaijan, some for Turkey, etc. Not to Mention MMA fighters such as Khabib, Zabit, Islam and Abubakar
Jordan Burroughs would maul khabib in a wrestling match. US wrestlers don't wrestle freestyle/ greco-roman in high school or college. i always believed if we did we would absolutely dominate the rest of the world. who knows though
Edward you’ll never beat a mashti Iranian from south Tehran or mazandaran or the roostas(slums) of Tabriz and Mashhad , and you’ll never beat a daghestani, and you’ll never beat a Turkish from the ghettos of Istanbul, we’ve all grown up fighting not only wrestling. It’s in our blood and cultures, no offense. You still might be good though
Actually the top wrestlers in the US (both high school and College) actually do freestyle and Greco, there’s Fargo, the World Championships and U23 just to name a few. There’s multiple world champions wrestling in college right and high school. It’s an “off season” style which is like April/May through August/September.
Whatever the bad guy talks about I listen don't k ow why don't like wrestling but here I am paused the tv during a film and won't stop till he is finished man this guy get you hooked and man he was great in ufc miss ya bad guy
Dagestanis are part of the larger Caucasus, same part of the world as Russia however don't blame them, cause they are rather distinct. Its like French Canadians not considering themselves Americans.
I think if it's pure wrestling, without the cage, Khabib will be totally out of his element. He needs that cage for his style, where he pins you up against it for the smesh.
I really think that Kyle Snyder might over time replace him as the best current American wrestler. He is an absolute beast. So fast for his size and has also talked about doing MMA.
J Kyle dake recently defeated jordan at some world team tryouts or something. They had the same score but kyle dake got his score from a higher scoring move
Khabib is from a village in Dagestan, but Dagestan is itself a Republic of some 3 million within the Russian Federation. Ethnic Russians comprise a minority of the population there, so it's complicated. Shout out from a fellow Oregonian. I'm more of a judo bum myself but have always been very proud of our state's wrestling program and the champions it has produced.
Khabib is right. In the Olympics they may represent Russia, but those champions are from Dagestan. I believe Sadulaev is one of those champions, Murtazaliev and Gadisov too.
I used to have so much respect for Tony, and I used to hate Khabib but the more I hear about Khabib and how willing he is to train others and boost careers my opinions have 180’d.
Deeptrout good point.. but being that wrestling, whether folk, freestyle or greco is such a huge aspect of MMA, I figured most MMA fans would be aware of guys like him.
@@bigirishballs869 you are the one who should be elaborating your response honestly when the entire world agrees sadulaev is the best wrestler in the world atm.
Every body give Ben Askren and Jordan Burroughs a big Thanks for officially bridging the MMA and American Wrestling Communities. While it's been well known for years it's now becoming a complete topic via broadcast like Sonnen's and Rogan's channels. All we need in MMA is an official signing day with colleges or a "draft" perhaps. Something that shows more incentive to be a wrestler. These guys are making it a possibility. Its awesome.
What do you mean? There’s been at least a dozen UFC champions that wrestled in college or the olympics. Many of which are the best to ever do it. DC, Jon Jones, Tito Ortiz, chuck Liddell, Brock lesnar.
Khabib was right Jordan Burroughs actually lost in October 2018 World Cup to the guy fighting out of Russia Zaurbek Sidakov who is also from the Caucasus.
True... but in reality that match was a tie, 4r, watch it. Imo, they're dead even. For the best version of JB to be on the mat, it is absolutley crucial that his feet are moving, something that Sidokav has figured out how to slow down.
@jay jay So? Burroughs has lost more recently and in a lesser stage. Sadulaev's loss came right after he moved up in weight in the world championship finals. And he lost by one point and pinned the same guy later. In contrast, Burroughs couldn't even make it to the last world championship finals.
@jay jay That's an irrelevant issue. Both Zabeast and me were talking about current wrestlers. More specifically, the issue people are debating here is Burroughs v. Sadulaev. I think Sadulaev is superior: He is technically more diverse; and his resume is at least arguably as good - and far superior considering age. Frankly, I think the claim that Burroughs is better than Sadulaev as borderline silly, because Burroughs is currently neither the Olympic Champion nor the world champion. You usually need to be at least one of the two - and really both - to be considered the best wrestler in the world now. As for all-time, Karelin has a strong claim, but he's a Greco-Roman wrestler - and competition is less deep in Greco-Roman, simply because fewer athletes. So it's difficult to compare a Greco-Roman wrestler v. a free-style wrestler.
Burroughs is ONE of the best US wrestlers that can train fighters or even potentially contend one day in MMA. But Kyle Snyder is the other US wrestler that I would love to see transition after his wrestling career into MMA.
My interpretation of that comment is that everyone could be better, and I say this as someone that has no emotional attachment as a fan to Khabib or Conor. Even the best have coaches, so I agree with Khabib in that sense.
Dagestani are not russians by nationality, though they are citizens of Russia. Russia is an heir of Soviet Union, which was an empire (and an heir of Russian Empire). So, Russia includes many nationalities. Some of them would like to leave Russia and have their own states, but Russian Government won't let them (welcome to an autocracy).
Dude come on, he wrestled/trained with Sadulaev, the HEAVYWEIGHT world champion of wrestling. JB has nothing to show him that Khabib hasn't already seen before
MrJesulius they along with their chechen brothers have been fighting a world power for more than two hundred years and have shitted on them during the last two chechen wars. Their numbers grow again, there will be more wars to come until they are granted independence. Westerners don't understand what Russia is or the republic's it has forced into itself
l dunno if u read this.. but u got ur facts wrong... check them before u say chael..khabib said: jordon must prepare himself for world cup..thats what he said and ppl misquoted it
dicpher0805 lithical as we shouldn’t? Give him a year of striking with Mark Henry and I think he would be a problem. His wrestling is at a different level, if you have ever watched him you would know.
Zeafer Jones which style of wrestling? Your comment makes very little sense. I’ll try to fix it for you: You choose... 1) Khabib vs Jordan in wrestling is like Conor vs Mayweather in striking? Or 2) Khabib vs Jordan in collegiate wrestling (or Olympic freestyle wrestling) is like Conor vs Mayweather in boxing?

Oh baby I like it RAW!
HE'S BACK
Who's this fake 😂
😂😂😂🤣😅😅😅😂😂
Freestyle wrestling is a national sport in that region.
Dagestani are not russians by nationality, though they are citizens of Russia. Russia is an heir of Soviet Union, which was an empire (and an heir of Russian Empire). So, Russia includes many nationalities. Some of them would like to leave Russia and have their own states, but Russian Government won't let them (welcome to an autocracy).
Searched for Jordan. Khabib is right abt him..
Nah, I think Khabib said that to send a message to Conor. "I train with 7 world champions"
Kyle Dake is about to go ham
I like Khabib he’s a great mixed martial artist but in freestyle wrestling JB would tech Khabib a 100 times in a row
Dude come on, he wrestled/trained with Sadulaev, the HEAVYWEIGHT world champion of wrestling. JB has nothing to show him that Khabib hasn't already seen before
It is an excellent play by Khabib for some time on the mat with Jordan Boroughs.
Ill just send my boy Kyle Dake in and he will get the job done
Henry Taff JB is better than Dake he beat him..
Jordan is a beast
Dagestan fought Russia for independence lmao c'mon bro
Muro lol, no. They cat fight for shit
MrJesulius they along with their chechen brothers have been fighting a world power for more than two hundred years and have shitted on them during the last two chechen wars. Their numbers grow again, there will be more wars to come until they are granted independence. Westerners don't understand what Russia is or the republic's it has forced into itself
Muro they still are since the late 80s
Vladimir Kalugin fight the Russians? Or Chechens?
Robert Cobklin brother they have been fighting for centuries now
Very good understanding and ability to explain.
Thats wrong!!!
There is a miscalculated translate
Khabib said only good things about Jordan
Kyle dake has entered the chat
If Jordan fought there would be so many people in trouble
The translation of khabib's speech was not translated accurately....it was done to add more fuel to promotion fire
There is no way Khatib lasts 2 minutes in a Wreslting match with Burroughs. Not a chance in hell.
you can not even write the word wrestling properly
Totally agree , Burroughs is the best American wrestler I have ever seen
Jordan Burroughs isn’t undefeated against humans and Khabib is undefeated against bears .
Sonnen is the best mma analyst in the world
l dunno if u read this.. but u got ur facts wrong... check them before u say chael..khabib said: jordon must prepare himself for world cup..thats what he said and ppl misquoted it
Dagestan has almost three MILLION people.
Now we finna start the Jordan hype train right 🙄
dicpher0805 lithical as we shouldn’t? Give him a year of striking with Mark Henry and I think he would be a problem. His wrestling is at a different level, if you have ever watched him you would know.
The dude fucking deserves it 😂😂😂 absolute machine.
It's not hype.. he Is the real deal
I can’t let you get close
Zeafer Jones which style of wrestling? Your comment makes very little sense. I’ll try to fix it for you:
You choose...
1) Khabib vs Jordan in wrestling is like Conor vs Mayweather in striking?
Or
2) Khabib vs Jordan in collegiate wrestling (or Olympic freestyle wrestling) is like Conor vs Mayweather in boxing?
Jordan Burroughs is the man
So you dye your hair and not your eyebrows ???
I say Dan Gable was the best of the best and then Cael Sanderson came along ... wow ... Jordan Burroughs is dam good... but Cael is just on another level.... great story again Chael....
Jordan has passed his accomplishments
Burroughs would straight up destroy Khabib in wrestling.
u do know they rolled already and everyone said khabib got the better of the exchange right
@@FlaccidErection yeah.... Sounds made up
@@bradyh2908 check khabib instagtam there is a pic of them together at AKA after they rolled
@@FlaccidErection I still couldn't find shit
@@FlaccidErection lol.. "getting the better of it" on the training mat...? fuckin rookie
Khabib also trains alongside Daniel Cormier and Cain Velasquez - that can't hurt!
Jordan is good at wrestling
Sadulaev : that's cute
what a retarded statement. Khabib is good at mma
GSP : that’s cute
Dont forget Sadikov
I’d like to see Jordan wrestle khabib and any of his world champions who are close in weight. I have no idea who would win because i don’t know the wrestlers khabib is talking about but I’d bet my grandmas rocking chair on Jordan.
