BEFORE and AFTER Fighting Khabib Nurmagomedov

i told you guys we're gonna make him humble fight fans welcome back you're a phony a fake last year gsp said there were three types of people in combat sports the fighters the athletes and the artists but with a relentless work ethic insane natural ability and dominance in all areas the choice regarding russia's undisputed lightweight king isn't so straightforward now enjoying retirement we retrace the legacy of a humble champion that never lost never bled and was never visibly hurt inside the octagon that's how good habib nurmagomedov is something in a sport is unpredictable as mixed martial arts that speaks for itself you wanna fight come here inside the cage account here we look at opponents before and after fighting habib nurmagomedov welcome to a motivated presentation because this is number one easy fighting division 16-0 is the mixed martial arts record and he's just 23 years old ten years ago the russians signed the dotted line entering the ufc's lightweight roster on a six-fight dealer [Music] straying under the radar he picked up his first handful of victories dragging his opponents the distance but crunching mauling and slamming them in the process ufc record 21 takedowns with an ever evolving style habib would beat rafael dos anos his first top five opponent without losing a single round i just want to see who's got the style to handle this guy some were convinced others not so much but everybody had started to take notice i think he's a little amateur uh i think that he he needs a little work the beaver made off before you were here he's already in the press room somewhere telling everybody to listen hey he's undefeated he deserves to be next is he what you think should be next hey if they want a nice give them a shot i'm ready it would be two years later following a series of freak knee injuries that habib would finally be back in action you're fat you're slow you have no ripple i can't wait to shut your face with my hands i'm gonna knock you out unfortunately tony ferguson pulled out facing health issues of his own still kind of a hard pill to swallow leaving pennsylvanian daryl the saint horcher with the opportunity of a lifetime yeah ufc give me five versus 20 16 april i'm here where's tony tony is pull out please shut up i have fight i have fired darryl horcher i have to focus this guy i don't think you can stay with me there's nobody on the planet who can stay with me all i do is touch you whether we're on the ground or we're standing up that's all it takes obviously there was better matchups that we could have on nine days notice than to be himself you know but he's just a man they're all the same at the 160 pound catch weight porcher was a huge underdog and as the fight unraveled it became more and more apparent why big shots i'm gonna touch him and he's not gonna like my power and that's the just out of it you know this could easily be stopped seven and all in the ufc though with an embrace and show of respect it was a night that highlighted the more amicable side of mixed martial arts i came up short my debut top died when he did tonight no one won you know you played the number one guy in the division on eight day notice you know i lost 25 pounds in seven days i came off the couch i hadn't trained in months this was my real debut the guy's an animal i truly think he is the best lightweight in the world with eddie alvarez sidestepping happy in exchange for red panty night you're blessed that i chose to whoop yours next it was another tough quick and confident american that would take his place i'm about to go celebrate with my team in the back and we're getting ready for soon i went on that new york card anybody left first of all i have to beat michael johnson michael johnson already beat tony ferguson barbos a lot of guys he's not easy fight tony aside michael johnson was the only man calling out khabib and labeling him as one dimensional no i'm here to take care of business i'm here to fight i'm here to get a win and that's all it is i don't think we're going to see a new khabib we haven't seen him we haven't seen him progress this game at all i hope he tries to test it out on me saturday you know i'm looking forward to that one whilst johnson too deserves credit for stepping up to the plate his fate was no less brutal it almost seems like they're shocked at how strong he is talking to him in the process the eagles swept him up dropped him and then drowned both men showed respect in the aftermath but habib's focus quickly switched to the lightweight title and one man in particular i wanna fight with your chicken because this is number one easy fighting lightweight division i think i deserve this but this is up to main event because if conor wayne of course you know take this fight who presented the toughest challenge in your opinion yeah i mean that's got to be khabib i mean come on he's just uh kappy would get his shot at the lightweight strap in early 2018 but five months prior it was edson barboza that would look to halt the russians route to the top kabib i know he is a true fighter about khanna i prefer don't talk about him because he's not a true fighter on the back of three convincing wins barboza jumped at his chance to face the very best two best lightweights in the world fighting you know he definitely want the best and he won the best and that's making me very excited for this fight the fight itself felt like a slow brutal execution you know jordan in his prime you just can't cover the guy it's almost like he's the only one on the court yeah remember him enough it was like he was the only one in the cave dominance fight of the night and a reminder of just how good khabib really was what does make him so special everybody know his game everybody know his game plan and nobody can stop him i think definitely one of the best of all the time and the lightweight now if you have to give me one hour race i can fight one more time with conor orton that's no problem no i could be looked terrible in that fight he's just barreling down coming straight forward like a tank you know i got a little more style than i got a little more i think it's a bit vain but could be because he's probably i'm probably his biggest fan in the ufc so you really think he looked terrible in that fight [Music] the man looked the same that he did a couple years ago after another tony ferguson injury coupled with some replacement drama they checked they looked at me and they said you don't look good you can't do it that's all that happened and it walked off it was al quinta a former championship wrestler with fantastic takedown defense who'd be up next with a chance to snatch the vacant lightweight title you'd have to pay me two million dollars to follow a million dollars the fight could be i don't want to fight that guy you see what happened to barbosa nuts they're getting beat up to the point where they want out and that's something that you're never going to see with me so this week they asked me fight with five different guys if you can bring king kong and he can make 155 let's go the new yorkers take down defense and awareness was indeed on point that was very intriguing was the fact that aya quinta was able to get back up unfortunately for him this was the night we found that habib striking had improved greatly khabib was hitting his opponent and not getting hit back iaquinta's performance drew a lot of praise supposedly laying the blueprint to beat the russians he was cool calm under pressure he got out of it and then he was like all right that's it now i'm gonna kill you but with the american referring to him as a monster post fight it was still going to take something otherworldly to stop him now i want to fight with george center in new york madison square garden hey he's good in certain positions he's amazing it and he's also amazing at getting to the positions that he's amazing good job send a message hey come here this place and that's it thus far in his career khabib's grace and humility had repelled the majority of bad blood or trash talk however as we know this was all about to change i am going to truly truly love putting a bad bad beating on this little glass jar right up through four times utah foreign with both men's personalities amplified under the spotlight this really was the ultimate good guy versus bad guy showdown insane it would be the biggest fight in history fight fans were still pinching themselves as the two made the walk to the octagon this is not eddie alvarez or jose aldo this is completely different fighter if wanna stop it you have to kill me but for the irishman the dream slowly turned into a nightmare he begged me please don't kill me you know khabib brought his best to the octagon which was shortly followed by his worst i couldn't believe my eyes while it was happening a bittersweet ending to the sport's highest grossing pay-per-view connor gets a hard time about his about his cardio all the time but who is khabib face that didn't look like that after two rounds um i just misinterpreted his efficiency he was very efficient and he took he took shots well a lot of people been asking me questions like what do i see weaknesses in in khabib's game or where do i think he makes mistakes and i don't really need him to be weak for me to be strong you know i don't need huge glaring holes i'm going to create them what are your plans as champions i just want to mow people this is what i want to do i'm going to listen with him all night make him tired and make him happy this is my plan a year later after putting the ugliest scenes of his career behind him khabib's attention turned to another man who was tearing through the lightweight division dana sean khabib let's go fourier didn't bring the drama like conor but as an all-rounder with game-changing power it was a clash that lit up the imagination in equal measure i'm going to make something special happen september 7th in abu dhabi i'm going to shock the world we saw a more cautious version of dustin in abu dhabi we have to push him back a little and we haven't really seen that out of anybody yet because they're so worried about that the speed of that shot and ultimately despite having success of his own he was overpowered and submitted in the third a great show of respect capped off another of the lightweight division's hottest showdowns if anything adversities taught me in the past is when times are good be grateful and with times like this be graceful and his hand his feet are like hands like his foot sweeps and and the way he breaks you down it's good man he's good so good you know people know who both of these guys are they know what they're both capable of and that's why this fight is so big going to cause him some serious serious issues in there he's not going to be able to do what he wants when he wants in a promise to his family fight island would be the last time we saw khabib defend his crown and unbeaten i was born and i was bred and i was raised to do this and i will do it till the will fall out when he's on his feet i will be causing massive damage to his legs to his body and his face an elite wrestler a devastating striker and a man with newfound composure justin gagey was considered the man with the best chance of dethroning the champion he should be afraid gaity should be afraid of the takeout which he will be and with one of the most exciting styles in the game no trash talk was necessary everyone knows the best fight at 155 pounds and we are finally here pointed out and said you have jet lag during the fight during the fight said you have jet lag he said gage he said no i don't and hit him with a left hook and an uppercut oh that's hooked up from caichi though what was supposed to be the roughest toughest night's work of habib's career made to look like another day at the office he does things to world-class guys that makes you just confused habib told his own corner to quiet down as the fight ended which speaks for itself and jg's humble response and defeat might even have gained him more fans than a victory i don't want to imagine you know what he was going through but as soon as the fight was over i went up and told him that he just made his father so proud and i was you know he did as we look below the video we see the teeming flocks of commenters feeding in their natural habitat they are gloriously diverse some are aggressive combative and vindictive others are more subdued calm content and appreciative between those extremes flow many colorful variants swirling together in a majestic ecosystem that's a part of every motivadia presentation
