Love how Islam has so much respect for DJ. Inviting DJ and his family to Dagestan, calling him legend again and again, telling DJ that he is popular in Dagestan as many kids there are interested in MMA. Also Islam getting a bit pissed when DJ said he's not allowed to go to UFC PI alone. Islam is truly an awesome, respectful and kind hearted person. A true role model.
Brother was actively defending DJ from that disrespect by the UFC. Thats big love; from one legend to another. That just don't sit right with anyone; Islam just stating facts. DJ is a legend in MMA period.
@@leoxavier5785these guys don’t lie when they say something. Look at Khabib, he promised his mother he wouldn’t step in the ring again and not even dana white has been able to convince him to come back
I had plenty videos to finish here in RUclips but as soon I saw the caption of this one I clicked right away. Two legends, two of my favourite fighters of all time
Islam is really funny plus has a great mind for mma he smart and knows tons of stuff and has a lot of experience young guys can learn from, just a great guy all around,
Probably the best interview with Islam I've seen. You can feel the mutual respect and admiration for the other's skill set that these two had for each other. DJ got a lot out of Islam, too.
Crazy that Khabibs title shot & Umars fight were both on the SAME day their sons were born. Now Islam is defending his title 3 weeks after his son is born. Does UFC just wait for Ramadan, when thrir wives are due to give birth or they hear they have an injury, before finally offering them well deserved fights (hoping thry'll say no) 😂😂
Super athletes formed and trained in the Sovietic sport system and sports tournaments are the most intresting in combat sports, its like watching one of the last rare great relic from a facinating past,
He’s going up against a UFC hall of famer in Khabib, Bellator lightweight champ in Usman, PFL lightweight champ in Gadzhi Rabadanov, UFC welterweight champ in Belal and Olympic freestyle wrestling silver medalist in Kadi Magomedov.
DJ is a good interviewer man. He understands his guest takes a while to articulate his answers in a none native language and DJ gives him good time and space to answer!💪
How can anyone not love Islam? The way he can be so serious in conversations, then randomly say a little joke, i love it. It has been amazing and an honor watching his fighting career and watching him come out of his shell and become more comfortable in interviews and speaking english. I enjoy watching all of the Dagestan fighters in that camp. Khabib flipped UFC on its head and introduced all fight fans to his team/family. Team Islam.
You at first I did not love Islam cuz he knocked out one of my favorite fighters the first time I started getting into the UFC. Taking a step back from that. Every Islam fight is entertaining and he's super dominant so you got to respect and enjoy Islam market chef
@michaelricheson849 that's a cute assumption. I've been watching since UFC 20 because my dad was a fan of Pedro Rizzo. Then he became a fan of Tito, and Jeremy Horn. I would watch a lot of fights with him as a teenager.

Why do you root for Arman? He is not only a complete douchebag but also a privileged spoiled brat. I am half Armenian but that doesn't mean I will support anyone.
My perspective has changed on him! some reason there’s such a negative connotation with him but you can tell he’s down to earth and genuine good person, great insight of some of the modern gladiators
I love MMA for the fighting, but also it just melts my heart how it brings people together internationally --- a guy from Dagestan mountains and an American guy talking like they are good pals. Heartwarming genuine stuff.
Islam lost in 2015. It's not 2015 now. We live in 2025. Islam's takedown and striking defense is extremely high. Arman can't KO Islam. No one can receive the belt from Islam. Mark my words
@brodogoks2526 So you’re saying all Christians and Muslims are sinless? Also if you’re a Muslim saying this, just know that you are sinning by judging another Muslims sins, so you might want to take a look in the mirror and do some reflecting.
Brother, if you go to Dagestan you will be surprised by the hospitality of the people there. And you will have an exclusive opportunity to make great documentary on the topic👀👍
Islam respects DJ the same way He respects Khabib ... Islam is the apex human warrior in the world to me .. power .. finesse.. stand-up... grappling ..wrestling .. humility ... Absolutely amazed Will never stop loving this man and all the other fighters from those countries in East Europe
It's so rare for them Dagis to speak about their family life and I'm somewhat glad they chose to handle their life that way. At 19:46 Islam got that same look when he was asked on a recent interview in Russian (english sub) what more he wishes for on a personal level. He repeated question to himself, stopped & looked away to think of an answer and replied w/ that same pride in his eyes and smiling from ear to ear. He said he don't even know what to ask for anymore because he already has everything he wants. He just think he needs to preserve everything he got right now and stay the same.. continue helping everyone around him (family, friends, team etc.) Congrats to him and fam. Thank you DJ. Hope you continue to give spotlight to other combat fighters from different backgrounds, disciplines and cultures. From Death Sentence to Islam and everyone in between and beyond.
It's hilarious how much I smiled when Islam agrees that Demetrius is 100% a legit black belt. It's like, yeah no shit, but the validation for DJ is nice haha
Good caviar in Dagestan , my dad used to get Caspian sea caviar when his former coworkers would come to visit America... He always said the people he met in that region were wonderful people...
Joe rogan is a casual plant and company man. He will sit there and call jones p4p#1 to Islam face while telling Islam he lost the first fight v Volk. Probably drinking proper 12 and smoking.
This conversation was easily the best I’ve ever seen with Islam. The chemistry was real and DJ asked so many interesting questions. It seemed effortless.
I love how all these guys from Dagestan are driven to be champions, but always make sure to leave room for their brothers. Khabib and Islam refused to fight. Islam giving DJ his flowers as P4P best during his career. Its a level of respect that is amazing to see from world class fighters.
@@ferfer582 He didn’t pick DJ over Khabib, he just mentioned that he has 11 title defenses so the UFC should let him in the PI since they let Khabib who has 3 title defenses in.
@@jack-kl7kb umar is on like a 6 or 7 win streak...u got others getting title shot in their debut or after like 3 fights they really got it harder than most fighters
I’m a woman who doesn’t do any kind of MMA fighting lol, but I really look up to Islam and try to be more like him in terms of his discipline, manners, and devotion to Islam. It’s a little bittersweet though to see his English improving so rapidly lol. May Allah protect him and grant him success in this life and the next. Also, the more I watch the more I understand why the people in Dagestan respect DJ so much. He’s also a very humble, likable champ. There’s something so refreshing about authentic conversations.
@@Shakira44-er6tw Because you've been there and seen for yourself right? 😂😂 Of course you wouldn't just take Islam's word for it. They're all MMA fanatics over there.
Dmitrious I’m from Uzbekistan🇺🇿 I’ve been watching ufc since 2010 and you truly inspire everyone in my country plus the whole USSR because of the way you defended all you’re fights and yet Dana still made his dirty move, everybody knows what happened and you truly a real champion you should come visit our country also Dagestan because you don’t know how many people cheer for you here :)
Absolute gem of an interview/chat. Two absolute legends, about as humble as can be. Also nice to hear Frankie Edgar is one of Islam's favourite fighters, gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
These podcasts are so good. Mighty Mouse has a way to immediately connect with the fighters because they respect him and his career, so they can speak freely because they know DJ understands where they're coming from, unlike a journalist.

@brodogoks2526 ain't haram
@brodogoks2526 So you’re saying all Christians and Muslims are sinless? Also if you’re a Muslim saying this, just know that you are sinning by judging another Muslims sins, so you might want to take a look in the mirror and do some reflecting.
@brodogoks2526 even Islam needs warriors
@brodogoks2526Thats a sin and you are right, but one sin doesnt change the fact that when it comes to level of iman seen in sportsman he is very high
"This guy dont know other way , just one way HARD WORK" one of the reasons why Khabib was unbeatable.
¡Gracias!
This was f’ing EPIC. Most in-depth interview of Islam I have ever seen. And seeing the P4P BEST FIGHTER IN THE WORLD genuinely praising DJ is sick!!
Agreed, it’s always great to see more of Islams personality outside of the octagon. He is very humble and he truly respects DJ.
How can anyone not respect DJ. He's one of the best EVER!
Brother, if you go to Dagestan you will be surprised by the hospitality of the people there. And you will have an exclusive opportunity to make great documentary on the topic👀👍
hes prob a legend over there
....and plenty of steroids being shared 💩💩
Did you ?
In khabib's team village on the mountain 😍
Dude, it is all the same in whole Caucasus ( Georgia,Chechnya or other caucasian republics) ,hospitality is in their culture.
Islam is a HUMBLE BEAST , mashallah , what a guy
This is the greatest podcast i've ever seen you do man. Thanks for this
Life is super stressful but things like these make it a little better
imagine yourself without stress, you're going to get bored, stress makes it tasty and worth it. enjoy it fully
One day at a time brother.
Training helps with the stress too
I love how innocent and nice Islam is... "If you're not on the roster you can still go to the PI.. you're a legend"
1:21:40 Lol Ilia Topuria submitted Bryce Mitchell
@ItsameAlex he destroyed Bryce Mitchell
Just Kick the door 😂😂😂
Such a long interview... what a treat! And wow, Islam's English has improved so much over the years
All thanks to DC and Coach Javier!
@@beastvader usman is very happy after islam english improve because islam is his transletor Dagestani to English 😂😂😂
@@amir.khushroo😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your content with Khabib and Islam has the most viewers
Islam respects DJ the same way He respects Khabib ... Islam is the apex human warrior in the world to me .. power .. finesse.. stand-up... grappling ..wrestling .. humility ...
Absolutely amazed
Will never stop loving this man and all the other fighters from those countries in East Europe
Caucasus is a cultural region of its own, nothing to do with Eastern Europe
The only thing left for Islam to do to double his star power is bring back the long hair 😂 boysband style
Eastern Europe is a stretch but he indeed is a formidable role model
@MrHuggah yeah to be honest Dagestan and chechnya are geographically and culturally closer to Asia and the middle east than eastern Europe.
Wow, i screamed when i saw this on my RUclips feed. Islam is the best. Let's break the internet views again!! The most wholesome guys.
The way Islam smiles, gets me smiling as well 😂😂
Same 😊
@@alfiashaikh9228islam hensom or not for your guys opinion ????
Why do you care if women find him handsome or not ? Brother focus on yourself @@mudinhashim6556
@mudin he definitely has his own flavour of swag fo sho
He's vibe is genuine and loving. What a LEGEND BROTHA!
I truly love Islam. He has amazing stand up, and incredible wrestling, and the personality is the best.
Alhamdulillah for everything 🤲🏽
AlHamdulilah 🤲🏽.
Alhamdulillah indeed 🥹🤲🏼
Alhamdulilah
Allhamdulilah
Alhamdulilah
Islam is a superstar, so many people in here watching the live. W DJ.
When these 2 are talking MMA, over 99.9% of the world stays quiet to listen to these legends.
fo sho!
Why listen to the other fakes....
Islam needs to do more interviews. Dude seems like an awesome guy
His English is on point. Very much the gentleman. Great example for the children in Dagestan. Great all-around champion.
Not only in Dagestan bro...His Great example in whole world
Team Dagestan giving DJ the respect he deserves is so satisfying 🤝
It's so rare for them Dagis to speak about their family life and I'm somewhat glad they chose to handle their life that way. At 19:46 Islam got that same look when he was asked on a recent interview in Russian (english sub) what more he wishes for on a personal level. He repeated question to himself, stopped & looked away to think of an answer and replied w/ that same pride in his eyes and smiling from ear to ear. He said he don't even know what to ask for anymore because he already has everything he wants. He just think he needs to preserve everything he got right now and stay the same.. continue helping everyone around him (family, friends, team etc.) Congrats to him and fam.
Thank you DJ. Hope you continue to give spotlight to other combat fighters from different backgrounds, disciplines and cultures. From Death Sentence to Islam and everyone in between and beyond.
Wow..
That’s incredible insight!
It's hilarious how much I smiled when Islam agrees that Demetrius is 100% a legit black belt. It's like, yeah no shit, but the validation for DJ is nice haha
Islam is chill. Love his personality. Love how he gets on DC and DC plays along too
Islam is a gem through and through
Why was i smiling the entire interview
You're not alone bro😅
Bro I was cheesing hard and audibly laughed at every joke Islam and DJ made. These guys are champions in their sport and champion human beings as well
I am 5 min in can’t get enough lol mighty does the best interviews
hahahah sameeeee dude
It's the positive vibes they through out
Good caviar in Dagestan , my dad used to get Caspian sea caviar when his former coworkers would come to visit America... He always said the people he met in that region were wonderful people...
I’ve been waiting for Joe Rogan to invite Khabib and Islam on his pod
But thank you MightyMouse #mygoat
Joe rogan is a casual plant and company man. He will sit there and call jones p4p#1 to Islam face while telling Islam he lost the first fight v Volk. Probably drinking proper 12 and smoking.
Brotha who this guy?
He no have question he just listen us?
Bro it’s crazy how we all know his one liners 😭 I can even see the fat guy’s face
Ufc belt who give him we have to check that
send him 2-3 years dagestan and forget
@MuhammedAli-vo6rz Islam already asked the question in the other video 🥱
Two P4P champs - humble and genuine, really enjoyed the interview
Best gem dropped..Thanks brother
Islam is just the most chilled out dangerous G you ever see
Islam is the man, good role model
This conversation was easily the best I’ve ever seen with Islam. The chemistry was real and DJ asked so many interesting questions. It seemed effortless.
i like islam after this interview. so humble and chill
I love how all these guys from Dagestan are driven to be champions, but always make sure to leave room for their brothers. Khabib and Islam refused to fight. Islam giving DJ his flowers as P4P best during his career. Its a level of respect that is amazing to see from world class fighters.
Islam picking DJ over Khabib is a huge way of showing etiquette
@@ferfer582 He didn’t pick DJ over Khabib, he just mentioned that he has 11 title defenses so the UFC should let him in the PI since they let Khabib who has 3 title defenses in.
10 win streak before a title shot... They have it harder than anyone else and still become champions and make their haters cry 👑👑
Not umar
@@jack-kl7kb18 fight win streak 6 in ufc while other get a title shot after their debut
@@jack-kl7kb umar is on like a 6 or 7 win streak...u got others getting title shot in their debut or after like 3 fights they really got it harder than most fighters
@@jack-kl7kb every ranked fighter declined to fight this guy besides cory
I never in my wildest dreams imagined that the guest would be Islam😮.
lol you obviously have some wild dreams 🤡
@@Miznor2800 It's a common expression. What an odd reply 😑
I didn't expect this as well, so glad to see Islam and the guy always brings a positive energy with him.
@@ZiraTBC and steroids
@@Miznor2800what a bum you must be. Family life not going well eh?
The way Islam talks about DJ, how great DJ is so touching.

Who say this?

Islam is my favorite fighter and such a beautiful humble human being .. i live in California but born in Ireland ☘️
God Bless the Irish
Nothing but respect associated with the Irish.
Respect Ireland! Not England. 😂
❤Ireland❤
Respect the Irish ✊🏻
I freaking love Islam, something about his genuine smile… you can tell he’s a great dude
My favorite fighter interviewing my favorite fighter! Awesome
I’m a woman who doesn’t do any kind of MMA fighting lol, but I really look up to Islam and try to be more like him in terms of his discipline, manners, and devotion to Islam. It’s a little bittersweet though
to see his English improving so rapidly lol.
May Allah protect him and grant him success in this life and the next.
Also, the more I watch the more I understand why the people in Dagestan respect DJ so much. He’s also a very humble, likable champ. There’s something so refreshing about authentic conversations.
Woman? We need to check this

I dont think DJ is that big of a deal in Dagestan
How would you know Shakira? Or do you live there?
@@Shakira44-er6tw Because you've been there and seen for yourself right? 😂😂 Of course you wouldn't just take Islam's word for it. They're all MMA fanatics over there.
Dmitrious I’m from Uzbekistan🇺🇿 I’ve been watching ufc since 2010 and you truly inspire everyone in my country plus the whole USSR because of the way you defended all you’re fights and yet Dana still made his dirty move, everybody knows what happened and you truly a real champion you should come visit our country also Dagestan because you don’t know how many people cheer for you here :)

High production values
DJ is coming for the content creation belt
Absolute gem of an interview/chat. Two absolute legends, about as humble as can be. Also nice to hear Frankie Edgar is one of Islam's favourite fighters, gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
Islam is very calm and confident guy. I love his energy and dedication for the training ❤
I have never seen any other UFC fighter who respects DJ this much, beautiful to see DJ getting the love n respect he deserves
These podcasts are so good. Mighty Mouse has a way to immediately connect with the fighters because they respect him and his career, so they can speak freely because they know DJ understands where they're coming from, unlike a journalist.
DJ and DC both have that same way of getting along with all the fighters
