![KHABIB'S VERY EMOTIONAL REACTION TO THE DEFEAT OF HIS BEST FRIEND ▶ Shamil Zavurov vs Nariman [HD]](/img/n.gif)
for those who don't fully grasp what throwing luke around really means, please watch luke's scrambles- he's not just 2 weight class above him but has an elite ground game
3 Weight classes now
Ya Luke is strong as fuck and much bigger than Khabib
Love Coach Javier’s gym stories 🔥🔥
Luke doesn’t
Agreed. We need him on more with Mike. Best coach listen.
Did he seriously say, "I'm about to go do a skype podcast, let me grab a shirt from the merchandise counter." and not even take the "XL" sticker off the front xD
Yes, probably 😂
Does it make you want to buy one?
@@Guy-wl8jk subliminal marketing
If someone sponsors you and paid you money you'd do the same.
Luke genuinely sounds like such a great guy in every one of the stories you hear about him.
He’s the man, much love for Luke
Yeah but he was a dick to Sean O'Malley dad lol
@@bicmitchum1368 I’m sure his dad wasn’t completely innocent. I’ve met Luke he’s a good dude. The media can take things and run with it plus the mma community is brutal and flips in an instant.
what about his dad? what’s the story
@@MiddleoftheWest And you’re the exception huh?
This is the info that hardcore MMA insiders listen to. Islam Machachev is the best lightweight in the world now!
@Juji-Gatame I wouldn't say washed, he forsure needs to show what he can do against rda before we all rush to judgement either way though
Islam's gold tierJudo throws and foot sweeps are some of my favourite things about Islam besides him being a dork lol
dork 😵💫
Coach Javier is a true G - Respect from Finland!!
PS. Islam is a next champ.
🙏🏽 you now it, greetz from The Netherlands
I wonder if Makhachev got interested in striking more because of his KO.
That and it's generally accepted as more exciting and badass, look at Usman one of the greatest going from footstomps to striking. There's reasons.
@@whiskizyo2067 it might have more to do with being comfortable striking and getting better coaches. Usamn started training with whitman and has got much more comfortable with striking . Look at him vs emmuel meek to jorge masvidal
@@djkillstreak33 the fact he changed coaches to get into striking..
@@whiskizyo2067 dude literally everyone has different coaches for different things
@@whiskizyo2067 Ghe guy beat Colby Convington before ever going to Trevor Whitman. So he clearly already had a good base and just wanted to sharpen it
Keep podcasting ..love it
Thanks for supporting our show!
You know he is a great coach when he admitted having more coaches sharing more techniques advances you quicker. A lot of coaches are too prideful to say that and their fighters stay stagnant after a certain point
John kavanagh 🤔
How reassuring.. so glad and Impressed by Islam.. can’t wait to see you the champion.. It’s Islam time guys now
Imagine Islam goin Luke you gotta belive consive achieve Brathar
😂
Would he get ktfo though?
@@rfuentes7752 islam or Luke ?
Best some inside story...plz keep it up guys..
Thanks for watching!
Islam practiced well against Leon Edwards and Luke both are very high quality fighter and in heavier division. I don't hear these kind of stories about other fighter other than Khabib and Islam.
islam walks around heavy lol hes not cutting weight so hes the same size as them
@@demetriusshaffer1784 but Luke and Leon walk around heavy for their divisions too. Islam is smaller than both
@@demetriusshaffer1784 _Lol. And do you think Luke and Leon were cutting weight when they sparred with Islam?!_
ur comment hurted my brain
@UCXrckE0kiPDo6ajhNHOO2Nw youre a dumb..islam is a big lightweight..hes like 183 pounds but even hes smaller than luke whos like 220 pounds
"Yeah i know, f that guy" yup, that sounds like Luke😂
Usman has the best striking in Dagestan
Only if Zabit is from elsewhere...
@@rconn4501 i think ousman have better ko power
@@issaaboubakar6969 Zabit definitely isn't a power puncher. But power doesn't make you a good striker. Alla Black Beast...
Umar is also close to Usman
@@DizastrousMindsShine Umar still gets handled by young guys in A.K.
Coach Jav is the biggest legend of the game who is still somehow flying under the radar, or hadar if you are Brazilian
Why do you say he’s flying under the radar?
Love the podcast clips. Keep growing brother.
We're glad you like them, and thanks for supporting our show!
If this isn’t exaggerated man RDA is in trouble. It sucks for me cause I really want RDA to win.
Lmao he has no chance. He’s the gatekeeper of the 155 division
im sorry man, i dont think rda can win it except he gets a lucky ko
even before this story why would you even think rda would beat islam.
RDA is gonna lose to Islam, it's level to this game. RDA has lossed against Khabib, Usman,Colby, Edwards, Alvarez,Tony (prime), he always lose against fighters of that caliber, and Islam is on that kind of level. RDA is gonna give his all like he always does, but it's levels in this game.
it's pretty obvious RDA would lose even looking at Islam's other fights..
Mike Swick is Goat of Interviewers...! He is very honest ! I know he is a great guy
We appreciate the support!
Cool story rockhold v makhachev
If you look at Khabib and Islam, their weight distribution is different. Khabib had bigger legs/glutes so his upper body always looks less toned, but that makes it so when he has people on the ground, he feels heavier. He can control them better. Islam has more weight/muscle upper body, so he can punch harder and have a harder clinch. When it comes to the ELITE level, these small things make such a big difference.
Punching comes more from legs, so if anything, bigger legs would lead to better kinetic chain through your legs. Your analysis is kinda incorrect.
Khabib is larger than Islam throughout. Islam is simply more cut. Khabib is not small by any means, even when he cuts weight. He comes in at 178-179 and Islam sometimes fights at a lesser weight.
@@jesseramirez9205 i thought khabib is 183 pounds when hes in the cage
Swick s show rocks..Love the AKA group.I think Rockhold is gonna wreck Strickland if he he focused which Im sure he is.
Mike Swick's jaw breaks fighters hands.
islam maybe more diverse in his striking throws but khabib is a superior fighter almost everywhere, he has unmatched pressure and unmatched heart.
Omg he praised islam and not your boyfriend, praise your boyfriend more please !!!
@@ppvplug3940 😂😂bru
love the podcast
We're glad to hear it!
I think Islam is the best 155 er out there..Javier wont come out and say this but Khabib shouldve been champion yrs before.
I told Luke to stop ordering Red Bull from Wish and to purchase the real Red Bull but he didnt listen so he flew without wings !
Great story!
We're glad you liked it!
Islam everyone’s best practices fighter. Time to start showing it.
Islam is that good guys!!!
Thats interesting why Khabib is not that much into foot sweeps. His father was a master at that
He knew he was great, he just did what worked for him
We need to see Islam vs Arman 2
That's 4 minutes of my life I'm never getting back
👍
Need video.
coach javier: sent me questions
mike: sent me stories
03:05
Khabib striking is insane.
not really, he has a basic style that most fighters have but the reason he lands really well because fighters are always afraid of the takedown.
@@kardiacc waatch conor fight , iaquinta fight.
Its actually is. His Uppercuts and this speed he closes distance is elite. The flying knees are the best
It’s not insane, his opponents are afraid of the threat of the takedown the whole time so it leaves them open for strikes sometimes
Great jab, good sense of the knee,solid kickboxing
Not even close to insane, but very good
the guy is asking about islam and Coach Javier bringing khabib to the talk we know khabib is levels ahead islam and he is the greatest light weight of all times
You think he's just hyping Islam up or do you really think that Javier believes Islam is better than Khabib? If he's telling the truth the rest of the lightweight division should be pissing themselves.
Loool
Ain't no one better than khabib lol .. let them hype we all know the truth alrdy
He may be better in the gym, but it's different for real. He's not on Khabibs level. That doesn't meant he won't be champion or isn't great, but Khabib is on another level
@@juandirection8820 I always thought Islam's striking was cleaner. Khabib catches people because he's awkward. Wish we could see them actually fight!
@@jesseashmore8426 khabib will maul Islam tbh !
Khabib dont need it he's world is in the grown.and nobody CANT stopp hem.very smart fighter all them Strikers Dident Do shitt..haha
So DC never taught khabib his jab? Lol
I am the champion of this gym AND IM the one who taught you that jab!
@@dookies2332 😄
@@dookies2332 😂
Not officially.
i know i am dreaming, but i would love to see islam vs khabib :D
I reckon khabib would win. He's a better a ll rounder.
@@irfymx6703 i believe this also, but still i would be a very interesting fight... khabib would strugle to get islam down and hold him like other oponents
@@jasminhoxha9073 He wont have to get him down. He will clinch him hard forcing Islam to react. And if Islam does a foot sweep or anything like that Khabib wont let go and they will both go down. On the ground we all know how it will end up. That being said Khabib is much meaner and more aggressive. At the same time Islam is probably his favorite cousin who is like a little brother to him. In sparring no one has been able to hurt Khabib besides Islam. Final note: Khabib said one of the reasons he wont come back is because it is Islam's time to be champion. Reminds of Vitaliy Klitchko retiring so he younger brother can reign as champion. It is family and culture thing, not everyone understands it.
So islam makhachev is a better takedown artist than khabib.
Better takedowns....maybe. ground game, not even close haha
@@rc333 yeah khabib ground game is on another level. Islam usually chases more submissions.
Actually I remember seeing loads of Khabibs trips- always stood out to me although he preferred doubles and just by willpower
I can see that islam take down more refined and arts with his foot sweep and throws. But khabib definately more heart and ferocious with GNP and his position and control is another level..
Nah I think it's more so that Islam has more judo trips. But Khabib has very good, single legs, chain wrestling, head pressure etc.
Luke "Feminine Chin" Rockhold.
It’s so weird that swick is jacked now
When you understand the backstory it makes a lot more sense. Mike went into some detail about this on his episode with Michael Chiesa earlier this year. This link should take you to the right section of the conversation ua-cam.com/video/uL7akZOhhVg/v-deo.html
Rockhold is not gonna like jav saying this story
Real Mexican gangster ..😘
one thing i'm scared about is....islam doesn't have the titanium chin of khabib...islam was knocked out before...now if he starts doing striking game with superior strikers, they can easily knock him out...
Probably another Rockhold KO in there no one wants to talk about.
khabib 29-0 👍
Khabib beats Islam in stand up fight
I pronounce it,I slam, not Islam,.
Coach Jav is trying way to hard to build Islam! After seeing Islam get taken down by a much smaller guy and the trouble he had with not even a top ten guy he is not even close to Khabib! Mark my words Islam will get marked by the top 5 guys!
I concur
"Crazy"?
Luke is always the victim at the gym 😄
khabib the GOAT
The difference is Islam is not confident enough to keep the fight standing even with lower ranked opponents
Islam followed his coach's instructions I supposed..
That's what I was gonna say. Islam doesn't perform in the moment as well as Khabib. Maybe in the gym he's the same or better. To me what made Khabib the most special was when the fight happens he just had that mentality nobody was gonna beat him. Doesn't matter if he's injured, hurt. He just always performed best at the biggest stage. His fight against Gaetchje and McGregor stand out to me the most. Islam seems to fight more methodical and lower pressure. Which leaves him susceptible to getting knocked out.
I'm not saying Islam isn't good. He is and can def be champ. All I'm arguing is he doesn't have the invincibility Khabib had.
If i was luke id be pissed them stories stay in the gym or gets someone hurt the next time they spare and thats all it doea!!!!
They all got interested in cutting weight
Guys, I am big fan of Islam, but I am sick of listening how good Islam. Just stop it !!!
You can choose not view this video dude. Easy.
There is a reason you're mad because you're not a fan and we understand just skip it and stop whining like a Karen
Oh man,,, i guess u r a hater. Because we love to hear more about islam makhachev.
I know what you mean. Me too, as a fan I would like for him to be more active. The problem we have right now is that we get much content of talks about him being good, but we have not the right fights to actually see how good he is vs top guys. I wish he would have fought Gaethje, poirier or Oliveira. Tony had too many consecutive losses and Beneil is not a big name yet
@@algerierz all these guys are avoiding him you don't how it works do you ? You Clueless clown
Oh for god's sake, get someone from outside of AKA on the podcast for once. What's this, the unofficial PR channel for AKA? 🤭😂
Mike Swick is the owner of AKA Thailand alongside Javier Mendez. Essentially this is more like conversation between two business partners
Stfu, They just wanna promote their fighter. Because UFC is commercial sport nothing wrong with that, make your own podcast then
It's his podcast, he can do whatever he want. Maybe you need to have own podcast.
Wtf dude he had many other fighters from different gym
Then dont watch this
Islam isn’t 1/100th of khabib. Not better at anything and has already been KOd by a jobber.
This fantasy hype is embarrassing he hasn’t beat anybody.
Come back now bum
These stories need to stay in the gym....show some respect
For future generation my guy. Bruce Lee had to teach Martial arts even when the whole of china was against that.
Javier is the same guy that said khabib could stand with anybody 👎🏾
Swick s show rocks..Love the AKA group.I think Rockhold is gonna wreck Strickland if he he focused which Im sure he is.
Luke is gonna Father's Plan the shit out of Strickland
Thanks for the kind words and support!
Rockhold is gonna get chinned just like he has for years. Bisping took everything in Luke's life and wrecked him forever.
