*"If a person doesn’t break psychologically, it will be hard to break them physically because the mind breaks before bones”* - Khabib 🦅
Tell that to McGregor
this does not make sense. If you're mentally strong your bones should break before your mind
@@calvincalvin3132 Are you dense... The quote literally means If a person doesn’t break mentally, he won’t break physically (broken bones, injuries during fight, he will keep going)
He made this quote when asked about overcoming his injuries & sickness during Gaethje fight and how he kept fighting
@@calvincalvin3132 if you’re not mentally strong you are not going to push to the point of breaking bones. You’re reading too much into it. I can break a bone going down my stairs lol This is totally related to fighting
This was from a Russian interview and I think it was misquoted. He did not mean literally the bones will break like what happened to Conor. The best example to explain this is that, Khabib said, "I won against Justin mentally first." Once the mind/mental breaks, the physical/body follows.
His English is getting so much better. I have so much respect for the whole Dagestan group
Зачем этот весогон бейся в комфортном весе . Весишь 90 гогяешь на 75 , честный спорт . Боец ходит как мертвый не говорить не чего не может ) Ufc сделайте взвешивание непосредственно перед боем и всё , будут бои ходячих зомби )
Word .. RESPECT. these guys do everything right!
Agreed. After the same amount of time I'd still be stuck at "да" and "Нет"
Молодцы очень организованно подошли! Дай бог победы и бой за титул!!
@@bobthebuilder615 ok ok
It’s the team he has around himself that makes a huge difference
@Aphorism V easy to say but you would be forced to sadly
@Aphorism V well, if you wanna be at a big disadvantage then go ahead lol
This is not a team , this is a family with deep bonds. Just love these guys
These are enablers!!! Just awful people
Weight cutting is so crazy! The mental toughness to drain yourself the day before a fight and still perform is underrated!
Deadly too if not done right....
How about that mask 😷🤔
It's almost unbelievable. Pushing body and mind to a humans limit, for one fight.
@MC Red11 the problem is that everyone does it. So if you don't do it, you have a major disadvantage
@MC Red11 it is kind of a cheat.. but others can also do the same thing if they are willing to put effort in it.. so if anyone can cheat, then it becomes normal.
Once upon a time a legend said
"This is number one easy fight in lightweight division"
@@PhileasFogg yessir
Send me his name
Mcgregor
Impressive how he never complains about anything!
Way better to cut 30 pounds then to fight people your own weight . I would sit my poosy ass in the sauna as well
@@bredin9199 And you think the other fighters are not cutting weight? FFS
Danko Kovačević aye respect to Islam he’s warrior but he need to get belt then go to 170
BredIN919 cope harder
@@bredin9199 🤦♂️🤦♂️..You think other fighter didnt cut weight🤣
The way his brothers look after him while he is cutting weight is beautiful to see, helping him get dressed, undressed, helping him up, getting things ready for him. To be a champion you need people around you like this to help build you up. Islam will be UFC lightweight champion by the end of 2022 I believe.
Your comment is so true bro, Islam will be champ in a few weeks
You were right bro
you were spot on lol
you were right brother
Good prediction
“Brothers here give me good energy” these guys understand something we don’t in the US
You might disagree but their religion is part of what makes them so unique. Full of discipline I’m interested in learning more about Islam
@@afroman4035 I don’t disagree at all. I know for 100% fact it has at least some part in it. Maybe all. I think it’s a mix of the village they grew up in the brotherhood in religion and sport. And bringing that across to the western world where they are the minority in their beliefs and still dominating a sport
Edit. I’ve always wanted to learn about all religions and understand people more but it’s one of those things we stay ignorant about in the US. We’re typically stubborn to learn other things
Please search Ali Dawah and Mohammed Hijab, they answer a lot of questions.
Brotherhood is a big part of their success i feel,
Thanks to islam and being a Muslim. The western media deception has brain washed Americans about islam. Such disciplines only exist among Muslims. Don’t believe me? Try visiting a Muslim country and if they know your a guest you get everything free and you will become a brother to them!
Islam:Same thing, eat,sleep
Khabib: And repeat 😂
that was hilarious lol
🤣😅 Whether stand up striking or stand up comedy, Khabib has a natural talent and can spar (and banter) with the best.
Eat,sleep and pray
Eaty, sleepy and repeaty

Their bond and their brotherly relationship is crazy this is some other type of energy they get I love that 🙏🏽
These are some of the teachings of Islam, the power of brotherhood
Thé best support his got right there I haven’t seen that much motivation support and coach.. in my lifetime..AlHamdhulilah
Nothing mean or anything (no ill intentions) but these guys looks so much like Neanderthals lmao.😦
Probably why they are such good fighters too tho ❤️ 😂
@vIPR it is better to look like a neanderthal than to think and talk like one.
Can you imagine if the entire world decided to treat each other like these men do?
Brotherhood!
Everyone waking up at 5 am to help their friend cut weight
At the very least we would solve the increasing obesity problem.
It'd be great, but then their religion gets involved and other personal shit lol, humans be humans bro
@@vietnamsemonky4082 religion is what made these people!
I love the Dagestan fighters. They are so damn tough and committed to be the best.
Only Khabib can claim he is the best. Islam got knocked the fook out
@Dan 15 You must know, you are american, right?
@@theth0mazz Just like Conor who got choked at his debuts, people evolve and learn and get stronger, Khabib is the undefeated, you don't have to be undefeated to become the best.
✈️🏢🏢
I love dagestan fighters who like cutting too much weight
Respect Dagestan warriors from Italy!!! True fighters🙏❤️
To have brothers like this is a dream.
This is real brotherhood, when they put your socks on out of love because they know his body is weak in energy. ❤️
Yeah man. I was thinking about exactly same thing.
Everyone does this, it's just not documented well. He can throw out his back that dehydrated, or pinch a spinal nerve, or slip a disc, or ... die from a complication of many things. You don't risk such things for semantics, you do the man the justice of taking every precaution you can when he's physically exausted, he's earned atleast that. They're all zombies in this cut state, you can see it in their eyes, this is the hardest part.
Popular Opinion: Every single one of ya'll agrees that Khabib himself made our day:
I don’t
I love the dedication of these guys, he didn’t complain not once, even Ali is there to give him good energy
These guys are changing UFC from the macho BS of McGregor to Spartan warriors of old. Makhachev shook his opponents hand at the weigh-in, it’s 2 warriors in the ring but outside its 2 men who understand each other’s commitment to the art of fighting and there is only respect for ones opponent.
Cringe
Exactly
Lol fckn lame...people been both respectful and chaotic from the beginning of time. Gtfoh 😂
those who are actually macho don't need to tell it to everybody.
Call it bs but Conor showboating and insulting his opponents made the ufc as popular as it is today. It's cringe af but the ufc needed him.
I'm not even religious but I be saying alhamdulillah everytime one of Khabib's boys fight
Meaning is 'all Praise is due to Allah' we typically say it after any type of good news/success or overcome something difficult. Like after a birth to a win in a fight. it helps supress the ego. To an athiest the equivalent will be to say 'always think you are/were lucky'. Both will keep you motivated and not rest on any laurels.
Alhamdulillah = Glory to God
In the Arabic Bible, they use those words regardless.
It slips into my verbal repertoire every now and then
I am Christian and say Alhamdulillah
Islam Time! 🦅
Lets goooo
These guys help each other like Servant Kings. Each guy gets his day to represent himself and the team. It's spiritual.
It definitely is spiritual 🙏🏽
Khabib s team forever ❤ your brotherhood and your loyalty is an inspiration for the generation in this era .... may Allah make it easy for you all guys
"All for ONE, one for ALL" kinda brotherhood is next level with Dagestani Boys
Wish I had a group of loyal friends like this. Guys in the west don't seem as loyal. Things like money & women get in the way of friendships
@@michael43567 in Dagestan there are a bunch of different gangs. You have to have friends or you will die.
Its true i travelled through dagestan few years back was jumped by a gang of men who tried so have sex with me im not gay so i was very afraid but a local farmer came by and spooked them probably saved my life
@@Francie3183 lmao wtf they r gay?
@@michael43567 he’s the bread winner of that group currently. Of course he’ll have the whole squads support. That’s how it works in life
That looks brutal. But damn, that’s what teamwork looks like.
@Acholo Freeman ok
fr all the bros cracking his feet and massaging his head lucky af... i used to crack my dads feet just like that when i was younger
@Acholo Freeman haahahahaha mad because your conor mcbreaker lost😂?
@Acholo Freeman lmao say that to his face
I love how they're all there for him during the cut, massaging him, helping him up, etc. Their so passionate for each others success.
From the bottom of my heart ‘i love this brothership’! Salam aleikoem from Turkey/Netherlands 🇹🇷🤍
Big fan of Khabib from India. Best of luck for future CHAMPION.
@zizou His religion doesn’t matter. He’s a fan.
@zizou I am a Muslim, he is a Sikh. We both are Indian's. Important thing to note here is
We are MMA fans and Islam's fan.
Cheers.
@zizou 100/100
@zizou brother not every one.... Lots of good guys also...
@zizou I’m Hindu and I’m a big fan of khabib, it’s not a miracle, I know the sport and respect it, doesn’t matter which religion the fighter belongs!
Khabib starting to look a lot more like his dad
R.I.P to his dad ♡♡♡♡♡
He’s going for the Daniel Cormier body
@@David-nw6wj 😂😂😂
Dead??
Everyone started saying that until it started looking real lol
Watching these tough warrior men show so much care and love for one another is just beautiful 💖May Allah protect them from all harm and may they continue to succeed in this life & the next. Ameen
You are not just a team you are brotherhood,well done Khabib!!!
Holy shit, I never realized what hell these athletes put themselves through. respect to all MMA fighters!
Watch Cyborg cutting weight video, she legit is crying in a tub, in my opinion weight cutting doesn't make sense, too dangerous

@Amadeus Luciiann well you're technically right but everyone does that, so not doing it will put you in disadvantage.
@@ShawnFX They could also just pick a weight that is closer to their natural weight. It's harder to feel sympathy when you know some of these guys cut 50 lbs+ just to fight smaller opponents
@@robertgalaway8760 What do you mean exactly by smaller opponents. Islam didn't look drained at 155.5lbs compared to a Dustin, RDA, Tony, Chandler or Beneil, look at his face, and mouth, and compare it to those guys. He looks much healthier than those.
When you have guys around you who help you each and every time and support you, automatically you start believing in yourself doesn't matter how hard the fight is gonna be.....💥💥💥
A group of loyal friends is probably one of the great things you can have in life
Imagine in top of all that your name is Islam makhachev
Yaaa.. agree..
Hope he Always remember them who supported him, in a very hard days.. good luck brother
Surrounded by terrorist and steroid takers who believe in a pedo prophet
Cutting this much weight, is simply just cheating. Gaining an advantage and not fighting at his natural weight class. Pathetic, but not surprised as Khabib did the same. It's the only way they can win. Don't even get me started on the IV's they use, which is also cheated.
They support and help each other so much… it’s beautiful. With people like you literally think that there’s no obstacles.
This is why these guys are champions, the training. their team and dedication. Amazing.

So much dedication on being a fighter, not just strength, mind needed...but also mentality. We need give them recognition for all of their hardwork..salute
I wish all the best for my Dagestani brothers...
Greetings from Türkler
i love seeing the islam and khabib brotherhood
They've known each other since Islam was 7 years old. Khabib and Islam were neighbour. No wonder Khabib's dad treat him more like a son than a student. Their family are close with each other too.
Islam's discipline and hard work is admirable and an inspiration. God bless him, his team, his family, and his people.
Superior humans in every aspect...
Love and respect ❤🙌🙏
Glad mma showed us this part of the world 🌎🙌
The hard work, support and cooperation between them is just amazing. #teamkhabib #dagestanfighters
Everytime I listen to Khabib , I got goosebumps . Had been following him since Mc Gregor fight only but he have been an inspiration since then for me . I really miss you whenever I see UFC now .
Ok you geek
@@loop4737 buthurt much
@Joe Bosco why gatekeep? The more fans (real or fake) the more money khabib and likely islam will make ...
@@loop4737 Which one of ur favourite fighters did he lamp
@@pelwanm.m5614 khabib and the entire Dagestan group are a bunch of shit stains on jock straps. Khabib the biggest itch of all fighters cutting from 200lbs to fight at 155. Pussy should have been in welterweight but was scared cause in that div he would be the one getting mauled.
Man.... What a bond of brothers.... Loving every second of it.....
Dudes becoming a star, absolutely love it, need him on a big card again!
Good team around him, Good to see hands on with him each other , respect from Ireland.
Respect to Irish people
@@ahmedshahbaz8559 respect brother
The future champ ladies and gents
Don't see him beating Dustin or Charles Oliviera, but he sure will give them a fight for their lives
insha'Allah
@@mamindhive Charles is a competitive fighter but Islam is something else I believe he can beat him
@@saudabdullah7839 Charles imo is better at stand up, got better kicking and more powerful punches, more experienced as well, and extremely good grappler, which will cancels Islam usual advantage on the ground

Awesome job guys! Huge respect to all on this guys, they've come a long way!
Let's go future champion 💪❤️
mad respect for these gladiators! they are literally risking their lives to entertain us!
UFC should just make fighters fight at their natural weight instead ...
@@tomnguyen1015 it’s not possible
@@tomnguyen1015 not a bad idea..but what you mean by "natural weight" and how will ufc implement this..it's easier said than done
Risking their lives to get shit ton of money
@@Tomakia8 how could islam fight at LHW lol? that makes no sense
Those guys have soo much love for each other it's wonderful and inspiring to look at..... That's exactly why they're the best #support #solidarity #respect
I remember seeing Islam as a young kid in those old Dagestan mountain training videos along with all those other Dagestan guys with Khabib... crazy to see him at this position now. All the blessings for him in his career and in his future. To Zubaira as well, I remember seeing him in those videos too. Let’s get it bros
Man! These Dagestani fighters are so mentally and physically strong. Respect!
@Dan 15 they told you when they were recruiting you didn't they ?
@Dan 15 I've also read you got no friends mate
@Dan 15 source: believe me, I read somewhere
Lol
He smiled when he said then that’s it, respect for what you do brother I’m grinding to do the same thing
Khabib has all my respect!
Whatever discipline, I love watching people pursue excellence with great passion, pain and commitment. It inspires me.
His fights amaze me more than any other fighter♥️
Whole team with him always no matter time or place this is real brotherhood
love this style. keep em coming.
mystical power, we love you Islam!
Khabib sir ...we r proud of you Alhamdulliah ☝️🤲🇮🇳
MashaAllah. Поздравляю Ислама и всю команду! Братья мы всегда с Вами🇦🇿
Keep going khabib!!!!
biggest respect
Seeing behind the scene scenes is so cool, you can see how much they put effort and sacrifice their life for it.
Let's go Islam let's go 🔥🔥

love the team work love the energy khabibs camp gives off
Respect to all the fighters🙏
Its not easy🙏
RESPECT🙏
Next level dedication..many champions in the making... Nothing but respect ❤
I literally cannot describe how good having Khabib as your coach is. He learned so much from his father and the fact he is the greatest of all time helps massively because he's been there, done that, he knows exactly what it takes and he will pass it onto anyone he coaches
Joe Bosco but you really took time out of your day to type all that to a comment that speaks nothing but facts. you’re pathetic dude.
@Joe Bosco salty McTapper fan spotted
As if you were one of the team and as if you knew more than others on here lol. Please tell us more obvious things, like the colour of grass
If this was easy weight cut then I try to imagine what diff one would look like...All the respect to these sports persons.
Its diff if there is injury or your organ start to not cooperate with your plan.. Most of fighter will start to loss their mind and unstable mental.. Khabib team able to keep the mental and emotion stable is quite impressed actually.. No cursing and no tantrum
Love for these real wariors and good people!
Its so beautiful how they help each other
It's so humbling
They r Like one MMA family
So much to learn from them
all the best sir ❤️
miss you khabip 😔
The mental fortitude these professional fighters possess cannot be overstated. They are truly warriors in and out of the octagon.
Big fan of Khabib and Islam...
Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
I love how the whole team rockin the chin strap beards 🙏
Traditionally men from Dagestan have beard but during the Soviet era Dagestani men not allowed to keep their beard that's why Khabib's father and his generation don't keep their beard. But new generation like Khabib and Islam can keep their beard now. Keep the tradition alive.
That's how it supposed to be in Islam :) trimmed mustache or cut all together like these guys!
I don’t really know what to say I just love Khabib team the way they are.
this squad are great representatives of the sport and their country.
peace from canada
Incredible how they help each others. Hope Islam will make it to the top.
They way they take care of each other is awesome!
They take the shirts off their backs for each other without a hint of ego or self.
I also liked the weigh in respect of the two opponents.
All good stuff
Actually, if they really cared about him, they would have convinced him to go to welterweight, instead of helping him destroy his body like that.
So great friendship! This is special, it something we all shoud do for our friends and family
May Allah give more strength to you brothers love from India ❤️
The brotherhood these fighters have is something special. That's why they'll be here for a long time.
In Greek the term for love for brother or friend is “Philia” These guys would die for one another this brotherhood is missed a lot in the western world
Great practical habit/action the western world can incorporate! Very good for humanity.
....Philia my man
This is the brotherhood of Islam religion by the way. They are following it the best way 🤜💪
