You guys are comparing Islam to his coach, I hope you know that. I've been a sub on AKA channel and coach Javier channel for years, I've have conversations with him many times. Please understand that khabib taught Islam everything he knows, so you can't compare them, it's not fair. It's like comparing basketball or football teams to teams ten years ago. Everything evolves, and these competitors know this, and anticipated it, Islam stand-up is far superior, but that's the nature of the team teaching him that he needs this because his ground game is top in game. But guess who pushed him into learning his striking better? Khabib and javy, so just stop the comparisons
I don't think he really had doubters...just many people (including myself) that thought his fight vs Volk was very close. He definitely made a statement with the 1st round KO. Wasn't 100% Volk, but still a worthy title defense.
I never understood the hate for Islam, his humility is through and roof after the knockout he didn’t run around like a mad man or jump off the cage he quieted everyone down and the first word out of his mouth in the interview was “alhamdulillah”.

11:40 “They all want to be MMA fighters. This new generation of Dagestan fighters are going to be high level.” It’s incredible to think that one man’s legacy Abdul Nurmagomedov, has not only put Dagestan on the map but has inspired a generation of fighters. Seeing the current Dagestani Team has been nothing short of iconic. Imagine what’s to come. It’s amazing at the impact of one man.
With Khabib as the godfather of Dagestani MMA, maybe the Godfather of Muslim MMA, there's an entire generation of hungry Greco-Roman wrestlers, Sambo practitioners and Judokas who'll dominate the sport for at least a couple of decades. Eagle FC rules the roost in Eastern European MMA rn and they'll be the standard in that region for a long time.
You clearly have no idea about Dagestan, and whole Caucasus region. The talent pool in Caucasus have been incredible foe decades, dominating most Olympic combat sports. Abdul Nurmagomedov is just a very small part of much larger combat culture. E.g. In Olympic wrestling it has been pretty much North Iran, Dagestan, Chechnya, Ossetia, or one of the small Caucasus nations picking up gold every year since at least 1980s (excluding rise if U.S wrestlers since post Soviet era).
@@papi-sauce Just an info. Dagestan is a Republic with several ethnicities, like Avar or Lak people and they all have their own language. There's not an unified "Dagestani language"
Also Arabic probably. It seems like Religion is like a first priority in Dagestan so probably knows better than most modernized non-arabic Muslim countries.
@@snitox No he doesn't know Arabic, nor do Dagestanis know Arabic. Non Arabic speaking countries don't know Arabic, if it would be like you claim, then they would be called "Arabic speaking country", so there's no logic in that statement of yours, sorry. Being Muslim doesn't mean you know Arabic. As a Muslim you have to know surah al-Fātiha from the Quran to be able to perform the obligatory 5 prayers a day and few praisings and supplications within the prayer, that's it. And people maybe know few words here and there, due to the fact that some Arabic words have been integrated into their language. Even in non Muslim countries it's the case, like in Serbian, we have many Arabized words, which the Ottomans brought to us, or even in English, like the words _Sheriff, Sirup_ or _Zero_
This version of Islam would have obliterated Oliveira... Lucky for him he decided to not wear head gear and got injured 😅 Nothing but respect to a true warrior like Volk 🙏👏
He just won the world championship and beat one of the p4p best guys, what is the first thing he says to the reporter? He apologizes for making them wait, talk about humility.
Islam deserves it. While Volk didn't have a full camp, that doesn't mean he got any worse as a fighter. He just got hit with an absolutely brutal head kick that would've still knocked him out in a full camp fight.
volk having a full camp don't mean shite, he would've shown that he did not have a full camp In the later rounds if it made it to that point where he gets tired, but Islam finish him first round with an intentional head kick, camp or not, volk loses any second of the year.
Full camp would have 0 influence unless the fight went long, as it was already stated above. Basically both fighters took the fight on short notice because Islam was preparing for oliveira not volk. He basically had to come up with something to deal with volk in 11 days

Volkanovski or Makhachev would've been a better choice to put at #1 PFP. Especially now since Islam submitted the best submission artist in UFC history to become champion, and beat the #1 PFP in his backyard while dehydrated, and absolutely flatlined him in the rematch to clear all doubts. If anything Makhachev should be #1 PFP now, because he is more active and beat actual RANKED PFP fighters and is MORE active and beat them in their OWN game instead of beating them with their weaknesses like Jones did. Makhachev submitted the best submission artist in UFC and knocked out the best PFP striker, he's beating these all-time greats in their own game lmao Jones just beat Gane with wrestling when Jones knew Gane couldn't wrestle
There's people hating on Volk when he literally saved the card and took the loss with great sportsmanship. Without him stepping up there would have been no fight. Big well done to Makhachev, what a kick!
There is literally no hate in volk. Even in the arena. Where as in Australia everyone cried "F Islam" when he won full and square. Their hatred is religion Islam.
@@JamesGreen57447 I wouldn't say he ruined his legacy. He had a really really close first fight with Islam where if one or two things went different, he could have won. And even that being said, it's a different weight class. He really has only lost to Islam. He has 3 total losses, 1 early career, and then 2 now to Islam. You going to say DC tarnished his legacy by losing twice to Jons and Miocic?
The parents comment spoke to me.... great inspirational message... Islam is a great man, who, like many fighters, fight to better those around them. Bravo 👏 👏 👏

If this fight went beyond 3 rounds, Volkanovski, who had 12 days' notice, might be affected. Going beyond 3 rounds can be tough without a full camp. However, the fight got finshed with a head kick knockout in the first round, and that kick was intentional, not accidental. So, there IS NO EXCUSE of short notice. This is a solid victory for Islam Makhachev. - Joe Rogan. Actually, it was Volk who was supposed to Ko Islam in the first round. It was his only chance. Islam beat him in his own game. Islam submitted the best submission artist, Now he KO'd the best Ko artist. 13 fights win streak, T most in the history of UFC LW. P4P king no question.
@@Eyeso-gokrazyeasy brother. He is humble indeed. If it was Conor he would be ripping Alex and you guys would claim “he’s humble”. Islam literally have nothing but respect during they’re fights. Even after knocking him out he ain’t kick him while he’s down in this presser. I whole heartedly believe you guys hate Islam simply because he’s Muslim. If that’s what it is than you need to work on being a better humane person
islam clearly won their first match. now we had another beautiful performance by him and hes really the undisputed champ. Volk still has all my respect, it was actually hard to see him go down the way he did. i swear my heart fell to my stomach 🥲
I don’t think these guys care about such things. These guys are so confident in themselves it doesn’t matter whether khabib is in his corner. God is in his corner…what else does he need?
Khabib wants to be fair to his team, he can't corner islam but not others So he don't corner anyone Besides, he's confident with islam and want him the full credit of winning to boost his confident
After this fight, I saw a different side to Islam I had never seen.. Guys, tough, changed my outlook on him, routing for this guy now, he's not disrespectful just straight up, I see his human side, he seems like a good dude, the real Wolf !
OUT-STANDING performance from Islam. He clearly won the first fight 3-2, and now he sealed the deal with an amazing KO. wonder what is haters have to say now..
@@evolvingsoul2370Volks my favorite fighter, but that kind of attitude does him a disservice, he accepted the fight on short notice knowing who exactly he was up against. No excuses, he's great but he took that L today. He'll be back.
Excellent mindset, the adjustments made on short notice was Elite and your focus on timing, precision, execution on point and fitness is Next Level. Masterful.. The Mindset of a True Champion.. King Islam Makhachev ..😎😎👍
I respect any fighter who relies solely on actual fighting, skill and action inside the cage. Huge respect to both Islam and Volk. As for the new direction of fighters who rely on mental warfare, trashtalk and drama I think it should end and all fighters should learn to be humble and respectable like Islam and Volk (and of course many others)
Too humble and very respectful. Never a trash talk. Knows perfectly what his doing and working accordingly to game plan. I used to believe his boring, but since he won Olivera and Volks twice. Give this guy the respect he deserves, his a champion 🏆🎉 🥇 🏅 👏
i'm very impressed with these translator. they did their job very well. is it normal or that's just what talented people do? anyway good job islam for winning the fight🔥🔥🔥
Thank you islam & chimaev For tell to the world what's happen in Palestine Celebrate in the silence it's true respect for victim's of war in Gaza Alhamdulillah may Allah always keep you safe
Hats off to the champ. Regardless of nationality or religion, this man is an amazing fighter and although I wasn’t a huge fan, I’m liking this guy more every fight.
Many Mubarak my brother ❤ We all sad as human what happens in Palestine 🇵🇸 land against Palestinians You brought us smile 😊 on our faces. Allah make you succeed in all your plans Thank you Jazakumuallah khairan
big respect to volk and islam , islam definitely surprised me with the first finish on volk in the ufc. volk definitely shouldn’t have taken this fight on such short notice but much respect to him
This guy is a great champion, im very proud of him. Much love to Volk, he is a great champ as well. Its a gift from God to have fighters like this on this planet.
Listen to him... Look at him... He's so calm. The way he calmly explains the cut on Volk's eyebrow and how the head kick matters more than a kick on another part of the body. Islam is not displaying one dimensional shit talking that will cloud his mind
No party , no sex ( outside marriage) no drugs, no alcohol no bad habit. Train , sleep, eat , pray , family time. Outdoor physical games like wrestling , dagestani handball ( involve wrestling ) , dirt bike riding, horse riding. No jealousy among brothers & friends why will they fall ??
when dagestans uses their sambo skill, people says they are so boring fighter, but when they uses their striking, people find another reasons to bash them 😂😂
Volk was really really confident before the fight and ended up like that was one of the biggest upset in UFC with the fact that most people thought he will win this time. Comeback stronger Volk, from Islam's fan
@@wotajoker4802But didn't Volk say he's more dangerous when he's hyped and feeling relaxed and he even said he's in his prime right now? By Volks own definition, Islam knocked out prime Volkanovski. That speaks volumes on Makhachev's future...
because the fans gave him false faith . I watched the previous fight 3 times. including ppv . he lost 4 rounds until the last minute on 5th round. but because fans hated Islam,so made volk thinking he won . he didn't brin
I was supporting Islam and will always do, but Volk is a great fighter and a great man. He is everything what this sport needs. I hope he still dominates the FW division, that's his home. Respect for moving up and at least trying.
p4p number 1 islam is a different breed. didnt have the best showing in oz but he made up for it today. him and askerov looked awesome. usman showed true heart. wish he let his hands go. referee was shocking in the nathaniel wood fight. weird card up until the last two fights
@@yagloma2937 Delusional and emotional fans picked Volk to win lul and they were the majority. The same people that said Volk won the 1st fight even though he got destroyed 4-1 by Islam and only won the last 30 seconds of round 5.
Top top group of men these dagastani boys, trained killers with lots of control and respect for people and life. Class act! And a shout out to those poor people in Gaza too. Big respect 💯
@@abdulrahmanothman5675 Islam is pretty legit at striking though. Not like Volk is a stupid striker with 0 power.... Islam just knows how to mix everything up. Oh yeah, and Islam can abuse Justin in the clinch as well. Then there is a threat of wrestling so Justin will overthink, and try to be on point. He will need a hail marry punch or kick for the KO.
@@yagloma2937😂😂😂 do you really think its a coincidence that all the best fighters in the world are muslim? 😅 (khabib, islam, khamzat, muhammad ali, mike tyson) No. We have divine power at our side. Wether you like it or not muslims will always prevail at the end of the day.

However, the fight got finshed with a head kick knockout in the first round, and that kick was intentional, not accidental. So, there IS NO EXCUSE of short notice. This is a solid victory for Islam Makhachev. - Joe Rogan.
Actually, it was Volk who was supposed to Ko Islam in the first round. It was his only chance. Islam beat him in his own game.
Islam submitted the best submission artist,
Now he KO'd the best Ko artist.
13 fights win streak, T most in the history of UFC LW.
P4P king no question.
If if if
he is right, Islam beat him by skills not by shape or size
😂😂😂😂 excuses excuses 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Exactly exactly
@@uslt5028how? He’s literally saying there’s no excuse
CONGRATS CHAMP!
Damn, can we give some props to the translator?
That guy was FAST!!
Absolutely
Super impressive how he was able to remember and translate such long winded questions and answers.
It seriously blew my mind, real talk. Extremely intelligent man, never seen this level of translation in my life. @@Thothali
"When you have a short opponent, it's easy to land." Man, this guy is as humble in victory as anyone I've ever seen. Respect to both guys today.
calls his self the best in the ufc not to humble
@@Eyeso-gokrazywell his spot on Wo can beat him 😂
@@Eyeso-gokrazyeasy brother. He is humble indeed. If it was Conor he would be ripping Alex and you guys would claim “he’s humble”. Islam literally have nothing but respect during they’re fights. Even after knocking him out he ain’t kick him while he’s down in this presser.
I whole heartedly believe you guys hate Islam simply because he’s Muslim. If that’s what it is than you need to work on being a better humane person
in what world is calling your opponent short being humble?
@@Hoodietay1facts
much respect to Islam and Khamzat for speaking about Palestine... And to Usman and Volk for saving the event. Greatness all around
This week was very hard n emotional for him cuz of wats happening in gaza respect to him ❤
islam clearly won their first match. now we had another beautiful performance by him and hes really the undisputed champ. Volk still has all my respect, it was actually hard to see him go down the way he did. i swear my heart fell to my stomach 🥲
Khabib may have trained with Islam at his camp ,but wasn't cage side during the fight......imagine the confidence that gave him after this win.
I don’t think these guys care about such things. These guys are so confident in themselves it doesn’t matter whether khabib is in his corner. God is in his corner…what else does he need?
Khabib wont be going to Islams corner anymore he said it himself
@@kratoslll2871did he say why?
Khabib wants to be fair to his team, he can't corner islam but not others
So he don't corner anyone
Besides, he's confident with islam and want him the full credit of winning to boost his confident
@@bigdawgificationBut why was God not in Alex's corner?
After this fight, I saw a different side to Islam I had never seen..
Guys, tough, changed my outlook on him, routing for this guy now, he's not disrespectful just straight up, I see his human side, he seems like a good dude, the real Wolf !
OUT-STANDING performance from Islam. He clearly won the first fight 3-2, and now he sealed the deal with an amazing KO. wonder what is haters have to say now..
That he had only 11 days. That's what I'm seeing.
@@evolvingsoul2370doesn’t matter it was first round TKO even 6 months camp can’t defend that head kick 🦵
@@evolvingsoul2370Volks my favorite fighter, but that kind of attitude does him a disservice, he accepted the fight on short notice knowing who exactly he was up against. No excuses, he's great but he took that L today. He'll be back.
@@evolvingsoul2370your idol got his short arss delivered to him & become the next tony with cte🤣
@@ahmadrashdan69 Lmao he's not my idol I was rooting for Islam. Learn some reading comprehension 😂🤣
I am proud of you sir. Great win for a great champion.
What a champ in the ring and out of the ring so so Humble and stand with Palestine
Excellent mindset, the adjustments made on short notice was Elite and your focus on timing, precision, execution on point and fitness is Next Level. Masterful..
The Mindset of a True Champion..
King Islam Makhachev ..😎😎👍
Was hoping he would win. Great fight and improvement to his arsenal. 💪
Can we give a shoutout to the dude translating like a 2 min response in russian? lol
I respect any fighter who relies solely on actual fighting, skill and action inside the cage. Huge respect to both Islam and Volk. As for the new direction of fighters who rely on mental warfare, trashtalk and drama I think it should end and all fighters should learn to be humble and respectable like Islam and Volk (and of course many others)
Too humble and very respectful. Never a trash talk. Knows perfectly what his doing and working accordingly to game plan. I used to believe his boring, but since he won Olivera and Volks twice. Give this guy the respect he deserves, his a champion 🏆🎉 🥇 🏅 👏
Okay wait, sometimes he trash talks. He’s actually pretty good at it. But he does always give credit when the fight is over
@@dylancooper4993funny version of trash talk
His English has improved exponentially! Amazing!
Wow what a moment for him, he literally is calling out to whole world for anybody to come and beat him!
i'm very impressed with these translator. they did their job very well. is it normal or that's just what talented people do?
anyway good job islam for winning the fight🔥🔥🔥
Thank you islam & chimaev
For tell to the world what's happen in Palestine
Celebrate in the silence it's true respect for victim's of war in Gaza
Alhamdulillah may Allah always keep you safe
Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah
Islam has affirmed his dominance! Congratulations ❤❤❤
What a way to silent haters. I dont see anyone beating this guy for now, congrat Islam
What a champion and what a man to stand up for those kids and people in palestine. He has no fear of the repercussions...❤
Hats off to the champ. Regardless of nationality or religion, this man is an amazing fighter and although I wasn’t a huge fan, I’m liking this guy more every fight.
Islam 'the Silencer' Makhachev
Islam 'the Mystic' Makhachev

Cringe

Wow props to the translator 👌🏼 can we get good translators like this guy on future shows events
🔝 Islam PfP #1 Button
"Islam is the best in the world" DC
big respect to volk and islam , islam definitely surprised me with the first finish on volk in the ufc. volk definitely shouldn’t have taken this fight on such short notice but much respect to him
Conor d-riders be like,
Volk's head - 1
Islam's shin - 0
What has Conor have to do with this 😭 the man hasn't fought in 3 years
This guy is a great champion, im very proud of him. Much love to Volk, he is a great champ as well. Its a gift from God to have fighters like this on this planet.
Listen to him... Look at him... He's so calm. The way he calmly explains the cut on Volk's eyebrow and how the head kick matters more than a kick on another part of the body. Islam is not displaying one dimensional shit talking that will cloud his mind
Eu fico irado vendo brasileiro perdendo pelos lutadores russos,mas também fico abismado com a força física e a vontade de vencer desses caras...
I have to say Brazilians are very proud of their people and we respect that, we both share the same passion for people who represent us
@@Mac1Elevenin every sport too
Cada um com o seu tempo irmão, mundo gira, um dia o brasileiro volta s dominar com certeza
@jedagelijkseportieinternet4864 I agree bro. The brother I’ve respond to have to see the big picture.
No party , no sex ( outside marriage) no drugs, no alcohol no bad habit. Train , sleep, eat , pray , family time. Outdoor physical games like wrestling , dagestani handball ( involve wrestling ) , dirt bike riding, horse riding. No jealousy among brothers & friends why will they fall ??
Islam won muslims are superior in this world, awakenbeerus predicted this outcome and he never misses
Don’t bring religion into this
Who tf is awakenbeerus i keep hearing about him but i cant find him on youtube
@@yagloma2937he is mostly a Bot advertiser for berrus guy, that guy is gambler who bets on sports, waste of time if u ask me.
@@yagloma2937that is a bot ... Don't mind him
Only fight where I've loved both fighters and equally wanted both to win.
Both monsters, both stand up individuals.
when dagestans uses their sambo skill, people says they are so boring fighter, but when they uses their striking, people find another reasons to bash them 😂😂
They just want to hate. Islam could one shot KO Jon Jones himself and they would still find something to complain about
Volk was really really confident before the fight and ended up like that was one of the biggest upset in UFC with the fact that most people thought he will win this time. Comeback stronger Volk, from Islam's fan
Short notice cheap win
@@wotajoker48021st round finish what a embarrassment especially after talking to much 😂
@@wotajoker4802 ISLAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMM
@@wotajoker4802But didn't Volk say he's more dangerous when he's hyped and feeling relaxed and he even said he's in his prime right now? By Volks own definition, Islam knocked out prime Volkanovski. That speaks volumes on Makhachev's future...
because the fans gave him false faith . I watched the previous fight 3 times. including ppv . he lost 4 rounds until the last minute on 5th round. but because fans hated Islam,so made volk thinking he won . he didn't brin
I wonder why UFC cut off the part of the post fight interview where Islam was talking about the genocide happening in Palestine?
Because there is gargoyles involved
Small hats told them so
It may hurt the shareholder and the affect brand of UFC if asscociated in supporting Palestine
What champ, congrats, and thank you for shutting down all the haters
I was supporting Islam and will always do, but Volk is a great fighter and a great man. He is everything what this sport needs. I hope he still dominates the FW division, that's his home. Respect for moving up and at least trying.
Islam Winn, Still ! Palestine will be free🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
respect islam👊 possibly the best role model in all of mma
The greatest fighter right now on planet earth ❤
Well done Islam and what a great Human 👏props to both fighters.
What a champ! Impossible to not love this guy
Islam is a true warrior. Usually people camp out at their own weight class but he wants to move up and spend time at 170 for the challenge.
p4p number 1
islam is a different breed. didnt have the best showing in oz but he made up for it today. him and askerov looked awesome. usman showed true heart. wish he let his hands go. referee was shocking in the nathaniel wood fight. weird card up until the last two fights
" iron sharps iron ...." someone has been learning new phrases ...good on you mate. 100% truth
I like islam but he acts like Khabibs wins are his, dont overlook justin
I don’t think anyone at lightweight can compete with Islam. They should feed him the winner of leon vs colby.
Bros English improved so much
Sounds exactly the same as before
Funny how all the emotional casual fans picked Volk to win.
I’ll leave a Floyd mayweather jr quote here: “The fans can’t fight for you” 👌😎🤫
Nobody besides delusional fans thought folk was gonna win, Islam was literally a favourite in this fight
@@yagloma2937 Delusional and emotional fans picked Volk to win lul and they were the majority. The same people that said Volk won the 1st fight even though he got destroyed 4-1 by Islam and only won the last 30 seconds of round 5.
Thank you, Islam for remembering Palestine on your Big Win time
An elite champion 👑 no one is touching that belt for a long time.
Islam should do interviews with a translator. He sounds a lot more intelligent and his answers are more nuanced.
Top top group of men these dagastani boys, trained killers with lots of control and respect for people and life. Class act! And a shout out to those poor people in Gaza too. Big respect 💯
Grande campeão muito humilde
SLEPT! Volk meat riders are on life support coping and seething 🤣🤣🤣
No one in 155 division can win over at this time. No matter who he will fight next in his division, it wont be a problem
volk was the biggest threat and he dismissed it
What if gaethe practiced with Craig Jones.
gaethe hasnt grappled since high school@@PIEKART2001
@@PIEKART2001I would to see justin vs islam stand up fight lol
@@abdulrahmanothman5675 Islam is pretty legit at striking though. Not like Volk is a stupid striker with 0 power.... Islam just knows how to mix everything up. Oh yeah, and Islam can abuse Justin in the clinch as well. Then there is a threat of wrestling so Justin will overthink, and try to be on point. He will need a hail marry punch or kick for the KO.
Alhamdulillah, this was a necessary win. Especially fast finish. To eliminate all the future talk.
Muslim power
Don't bring religion into this
@@yagloma2937😂😂😂 do you really think its a coincidence that all the best fighters in the world are muslim? 😅 (khabib, islam, khamzat, muhammad ali, mike tyson)
No. We have divine power at our side. Wether you like it or not muslims will always prevail at the end of the day.
Man, these russian muslims are insane in MMA.
Team EAGLE keeps raising the bar and the way in wich they carry themselves is truly inspiring and riveting!
Just loved your words not even islam spoke about Palestine but you did big respect lots of love from PAKISTAN🇦🇪🇵🇸🇵🇰
Islam we love and support you brother. Alhamdulillah.
