Luke was the one who got me on the Shavkat hype train. I remember 2 years ago he was preaching this man as a future dark horse and ever since I’ve been watching. He’s such a Chad
I really like the way this was done. It keeps the interview to a normal length with the editing I generally don't watch interviews with non English speakers but you knocked it out of the park here.. congrats!
@@ChumbynKnopa no the way they did the video shavkat jad a translator right next to him. But they edited the video with the translators voice over the video of shavkat talking. It made this interview so much better
@@kurts375 Why don't you watch interviews with non-English speakers? Do you think your language is the best of all, or do you believe everyone should know your language? I find it funny that Americans only speak one language and communicate in English with everyone, without even caring if others will understand. Yet, they don't want to hear others speak in their native language.
In my mind this is what a warrior would look like. Rides horses, extremely skilled humble and don't even ask for a title shot after finishing every opponent put infront of him. Can't wait for him to take that strap to the mountains.
🇰🇿 Shavkat one of the best fighters in UFC. 100% finishes in 17 fights. He’s progressing in every fights in UFC. I think, 1-2 years and he still undefeated champion in WW and beat every champions WW and MW Шавкат батырымызға, бауырымызға сәттілік тілейміз. Алла қаласа, чемпиондықты Қазақстанға алып келетін адам
One of the best MMA interviews I've ever seen. I wish it was longer. Your questions are unique, not the typical questions like "how do you feel right now, how do you feel about your opponent" etc. Your questions about his fight style and techniques were very good. I'd like to see you interview him again in the future.
@@djtheory313 WB is the greatest Karate guy ever to be successful in elite MMA; but being a great grandpa in the MMA time line, he isn't beating peaking Shavkat. 5 years ago, no sweat; not today. Today, Shavkat is too big, too strong, too fast and too well rounded for the largely striking WB to deal with... even if his pure stand-up is probably only 95% as good as WB's.
@@kiabtoomlauj6249 he’s not bigger than Wonderboy. They’re pretty close to the same size. I know he mentioned he’s going to stand with Wonderboy. They all say that and he’ll turn into a grappler fairly quickly Wonderboy is the goat in striking. As in speed, he’s nowhere near the speed of Wonderboy even now. The unfortunate thing for Shavkat is he got exposed and rocked by an out of shape, barely trained Geoff and on the other hand when Geoff fought WB, Geoff was in the best shape of his life, and put on the best performance, and still got out classed and dominated by WB. I have been following from his M1 days his head movement is really bad. He practically got KOd, dropped, and almost finished by a subpar retired MMA fighter. I’d be surprised if Shavkat makes it out of the 2nd round.
I hope that thanks to Shavkat, the UFC will open its doors to fighters from Kazakhstan. We have a lot of young and talented guys here who can compete with the whole world. I think that in a few years you will see for yourself
Of all the mma journalists Luke was the first one to notice Shavkat's potential and talent. I hope Shavkat will learn English, sooner than better Well done LT
@@thatindiandude4602 WB is on the road to capture the WW belt. WB had a fight lined this past summer UFC 291 but Michel was completely unprofessional by missing weight bigtime. Shavkats young he’ll have plenty of time to bounce back. WB deserves one more crack at the belt.
The fighting as a kid happened in Kazakhstan and the neighboring countries everywhere in the 90s and early 2000s. My brothers used to fight all the time! oO
The first time I saw shavkat, I was like, “who is this random Asian dude competing in the 170 division? His Asian ass is going to get killed.” But then I found out about how he’s been finishing everybody and becoming the next boogeyman. I really hope that this Asian brother goes far.
Proud to be Kazakh! 🇰🇿 🇰🇿 🇰🇿 Mark my words: this man will go down as the greatest of all time. He is a once in a generation level of talent and I don't ever see him being beat. On top of that he is also VERY handsome and ripped!
@@user-iy3gb1sp2w You are having similar opinion to mine. He is definitely champion material, He looks better than Khamzat bcuz he hasnt fought someone of Usman's level yet. The fight against Thompson might answer a lot of questions.
Huge props to all involved here for getting the interview, making great use of it by asking intelligent questions, and then editing the responses so that the conversation flowed beautifully.
For sure Shavkat is one of the most exciting fighters in the UFC... I wonder how high his roof is... Im almost sure he will become champ... I dont see any weakness yet..
Refreshing to see someone be honest about who deserves the title shot atm (mentioning belal) instead of just calling everyone else bums & claiming to already be the goat. I see shavkat getting the title eventually
I really love this interview, big fan of Shavkat, it's very rare because Shavkat seemed so low profile, thanks for covering this, need more of his interview
Shavkat is not the type of guy to try and steal someone else's rightful shot. But he especially wouldn't do that to a Palestinian, especially right now.
Precise, to the point, good straight-up questions for us to know a little more about this incredible fighter that is on his way to becoming the next big thing at welterweight IMHO, thank you Luke!
Great Interview Luke. I know you were happy as fuck interviewing Shavkat. You couldn’t even hide your smile. I know that is your guy. I hope he becomes a champion in the future. It’s will be great for the WW division.
I initially thought it might be a bit brief for an interview, but it's very compact and packed with questions - guessing the real-time interview was well over double the time. Great stuff.
I'm asking for this as a big Donk and a long time vegetarian; PLEASE make a video of LT and big BC both preparing and sharing their respective horse meat dishes. With a retrospective rating of the experience, of course.
Also fermented mare's milk is available in Kazakhstan like cow's milk is in much of the west . More mutton is eaten than horsemeat . Salads are not a thing for Kazakh people .
I was surprised af when he replied to Luke in english lmao idk why, just wasn't expecting it💀 Good work tho Luke, your interviews are honestly the only interviews I'll watch more than once cuz you ask such good questions, there's always sum to study🙏🏾💯 Luv u Luke💚
Props! Many great fighters miss out because they don’t know English well, but also you ask smart questions esp compared to many mma media peeps. Props Lule.
Much appreciate that you cut off the translation, make us all the viewer has easier life. The first interview I have heard so far do extra for our viewer
Love Shavkot he’s what we thought Khamzat was but the interviewer asking ridiculous questions like do you get recognized in your country and tell me about horses 🤦♂️
Khamzat has less fights in MMA than Shavkat. Also khamzat has faced 2 top 5 guys and have done really well. Skill wise i’ll give it to Shavkat but khamzat is still young and can really improve his game!
A rare interview with Shavkat. Well done Luke, MK,
