#UFC #UFC285
Fun fact; Abdulmanap nurmagomedov was the corner of shavkat rakhmonov in his mma debut.
Really
Realy ?
That may tribute why Shavkat is force to be reckoned with.
Khabib and his father did visit Shavkat's country years ago Shavkat was pretty young then
He even sparred with Khabib
17-0, 8 knockouts, 9 submissions, 100% finish rate...what an insane fighter
17-0 and all by KOs or submissions. What a record!
9 Submission and 8 KOs
Better then Khabibs record
@@gamebredduramax71 yeah kahbib would get laid by these fighters.
@@gamebredduramax71 khabib and his father have trained shavkat
@@gamebredduramax71 do you really need mention how you love and adore Khabib so much?
His calmness scares me, what a monster.
💯
but his humbleness is so lovely and inspiring
only one to give Laura Sanko "chills"
17 fights, 17 wins, 17 finishes. The real boogeyman, Shavkat Rakhmonov 🔥❤️ And today he showed he has a great chin aside from his great skillset. MMA fans need to get behind this true artist over trash talkers.
They both didn't fight their best. Magney missed weight, maybe purposefully to give him a better chance to perform fresh, it still didn't work. Magney has great boxing and counters at all times. This was still a great win for shavkat.
@@VivaLeRevolucionIt's not magney dude It's Neal.
@@VivaLeRevolucion LOL, I just died. It was Geoff Neal, not Neil Magny.
Bro said magny 😭😭thought I was tripping thinking ain’t it geoff
@@butuguegarao 😅😅☠️
Oh my god! This is insane fight! Fight of the night! Shavkat risks a lot, what a fighter!! He deserves title fight
i think shavkat need to fight khamzat
@@likbingchang1945or colby covington or gilbert burns
Yes
@@thatindiandude4602 colby and khamzat is the fight to make but gilbert had like 2-3 fights this year but ok gilbert will also fight Shavkat

As a Kazakh, this makes me so happy, nothing but the best for shavkat, our future champ ladies and gentlemen! Let's go!!
I’m happy for you my brother 🎉
Masya Allah Shakvat Rakhmonov Beat Geoff Neal Alhamdulillah 🥰🤗
I heard you guys have superior potassium levels.
As a turkish guy this is makes me happy too i hope we will see other turkic guys too
Would be nice to see GGG watching him fight in one UFC main event.
100% finish rate 👏🏽
That walk off was gangsta shavkat is just that guy what a beast🔥🔥
Yeah.. he finish him with standing choke.. then walking out after like any day at the officce.. really cool.. trully baddass
🥶
Absolutely💯💣
🔨 🔨
almost like he avenged Luque, just dropped Neal and left him the same way Neal did Luque.
That standing choke. Piece of art....
Dude's a monster! Him vs Khamzat would be a hype matchup whenever it happens.
For sure but not sure we’ll see khamzat at 170 for a long time unless he loses a couple times at 185
Khamzat will destroy him
@@blakekc2710 ratio
I rather see him against Burns and Khamzat against Costa
@@blakekc2710 “destroy”? I bet the odds would be almost even
I have no words. He proved that he can compete with top welterweights. Shavkat will be UFC champ one day for sure. Kazakh fans are crazy. Probably UFC will bring ufc fight night in Kazakhstan. Congrats for Kazakhstan !
Рақмет бауырым🙋🏻♂️🤝
What a beast! I think he can be a future champ at Welterweight. He’s a real deal.
Until he gets koed for not moving his head
I feel like he should take the belt and khamzat should leave it alone cause when he cuts to that class he’s not even at 75%
Nah, Gilbert Burns, Colby Covington and Kamaru Usman will beat him.
@@red4135 lol I bet you will bandwagon him when he beats them. He just called Colby out, so come back after the fight homie
@@red4135how is colby gonna beat him, though? Colby cant take him down and lay on him. his striking isnt better than shavkats's.He doesnt have ko power
Salute to Neal too. He's a warrior but this kid is different A UFC star was born tonight!
Herb Dean is an embarrassment to the ufc, it’s bad enough to miss the mouth guard but to repeatedly tell Shavkat to work when guys like Usman get to hug and kiss against the fence for the whole fight was absurd
👍👍👍
Agreed even khabib and Dustin have a tendency to do it aswell
💯👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😜😜🤣🤣🤣
Every fight tonight there's warnings, I'm assuming they were told to be more strict.
Even a 5 second pause. Herb Dean was like let's work
Shavkat has crazy cardio. This man is the real deal and deserves a number 1 contender fight against either Colby, Belal, or Gilbert
Belal is probably the most likely that ones hard to sell tho lol
He befriended with burns they wont fight each other
Shavkat’s the man and I’ve been a fan for a while but Colby would put a pace on him that he’s never felt before. I’d rather Shavkat fight someone else and remain undefeated.
Belal y colby se esconderan como siempre , su compañero de entrenamiento gilbert tomara la pelea
@@davidzellow1292 Idk, colby's pace is something else.. Dude's relentless pressure gets the most of his opponents in the later rounds
I’m Kazakh, I’m so glad for our warrior, Shavkat 🔥
Молодец на казахском говорит патриот . Привет с Узбекистана мы болели за тебя Шавкат

17 fights, 17 wins, 17 finishes.
100% finished rate, colby will avoid shavkat like the plague
That Choke was unbelievable... 😵
I like that never rushes to finish his opponents and is happy to do that late in the rounds as well. What a beast.
Golovkin does the same
@@unreal_kazax both Kazakh aswell
Savage moments when his mouthpiece dropped and he kept fighting and eating punches , a lot of fighters will fear him only after this
👍👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
17 wins, all finishes. That has to be a record right? What a beast! Stock for both fighters went up. What a fight!
Айналайн Шавкатжан 😭😭😭 сенен басқасы Ағылшынша білмесе Орысша сайрап тұрады,Сен красавчиксің🇰🇿❤️
Translating from English to Russian, getting the answer in Kazakh translating from Kazakh to English good job mate
What a champion..So humble
He dropped the mouthpiece and still fight , that’s fuckin’ beast mode .
What a monster 17-0
Rakhmonov's chin is underrated. Man ate those bombs like a KFC bucket. Kudos to Neal for his takedown defense and giving Rakhmonov such a hard time.
That standing choke was scaryyy
@@manchuk1d Sure was, not gonna lie.
Takedown defense is a lot easier when you miss weight by 4lbs so no he gets no credit for that
He had weight advantages bruh not takedown defense
That's true, but I wish Neal didn't connect as often. Gotta work on that guard and head movement for shavkhat. Hope he goes far. Solid hat game, too.
Құтты болсын, қазақ елі. Шавқат Алла разы болсын.
MANY THANKS TO THE FANS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD WHO SUPPORTED SHAVKAT!!! ✊✊✊❤️❤️❤️🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿
Алға Қазақстан 🇰🇿💪👊✊✊✊
In the end he said thanks to everyone who supports Kazakh sport.
100% finish rate in UFC Literally scary resume stats right there guys
So happy he got the spotlight on a huge ppv card he deserves every bit of it
Dude is a monster. Only fighter I cared about winning tonight
Him and Ian garry for me
same bruh
I tuned in on his fight only haha
Same he was in my parlays 😂😂
Thank you from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿
The way this is being translated is kinda funny. Joe Rogan speaks English to the translator. The translator speaks Russian to Shavkat and Shavkat replies in Kazakh, then it gets translated back to English 😂
🤣
🤣👍🔥🤣👍🔥
😂😂😂
😂
His manager only can translate from Russian to English sadly
The way he's moving his hand at 3:10 is the same way Khabib was moving his hand when he said "Irish, only 6 million. Russia, 150 million" and Joe was wearing Khabib's hat then and now he's wearing Shavkat's hat. I love this.
It's "tymak" Kazakh national headdress

The fight was the greatest one on the card I think. So intense, Neals takedown defence was amazing as well and the choke at the end was just so cold.
People saying he's not as good should remember Neal missed weight by 4 pounds.
4 pounds make no difference in a striking match, calm down
@@Natsteinmanyes it does lmao!
@@Natsteinman big differ
@@tommyvang4057 no it doesn’t lol
@@Natsteinman striking match? What about submission?
Fantastic finish. Now 17-0, 9 submissions, 8 knockouts. BUT while he has good power and honestly showed variety in striking. His head movement and defensive awareness needs a lot of work. Dudes got heart and a chin but that defense just isn’t very good. Edit: I’m a huge fan of Shavkat but staying objective is key in this sport.
I really do hope him and his team address and correct these issues before he climbs further on the ladder.
@@cs-zz7jd Legit that’s his only glaring issue and weakness. He’s composed and methodical. His striking is good and he’s got power. We know he’s got good sweeps/trips, heavy top control, deadly ground and pound, and nasty submissions. His only real weakness is head movement and defense.
OR .. geoff neal is one of the best strikers in ww
Agree...he definitely has power punch and wrestling skill but he need to improve his head movement
He will lose his next fight
Geoff Neal did extremely well. Super proud of him. I'm sure he earned a lot of respect from people who didn't respect him before. Hats off to Shavkat. His first true test and he passed it. Still think he needs 1-2 more fights before a title shot.
There’s a good chance that he missed weight on purpose to have size advantage over Shavkat but it backfired. He’s a terrific fighter regardless.
Absolutely
Shii Geoff been at the top 10 for a minute now took out savages like Vicente Luque n Belal
Согласен с вами что Джефф очень хорош в стойке! В их дивизионе он однозначно один из самых техничных бойцов в ударке!
He missed weight by 4 pounds dude ofc he is gonna do well . He probably had 6-7 pounds over shavkat in this fight.
100% Finish rate,this Guy needs to fight for the title
Future Champion potential without a doubt! Let's go Shavkat!
Absolute beast, my favourite Fighter, no doubt. 100% finish rate, ninja skills.
You know the only thing going though his mind when he was rocked was Laura Sanko.
Best fight of the evening I thought it might go to a decision but Shavkat wasn't having that
I start liking this guy more and more hope they give him a title shot soon
I want this dude to get the hype that he deserves!!
I loved how Joe said " I've always wanted one of these"!!!
joe looks like a cartoon character in that thing lmfao
Next Shavkat fight I'll hope for knockout finish to make that perfect record even with 9knockouts and 9 submission 👊😂 HYPE IS REAL
That walk off after submission 🔥
I wouldn’t mind a Shavkat vs Colby main event
Colby will duck lol
Shavkat all day
Well you will since Colby is too scared to fight any of these Russian fighters( I know Shavkat isn't Russian but you get the point ...)
Colby ducks him just like he ducks Khamzat and Burns
@@eliotacura9080 actually khabib's father cornered him in his debut so 🤷♀️😁
Yaşasın Kazakhstan Yaşasın Türk dünyası
Amin
That dude is the teal deal man! And the way he speaks so softly makes him really scary. Guy's can you Imagine Shavkat vs Khamzat 🤯🤯🤯 let's go!!! 👌👊
Insane person. what a legend. Also respect to the opponent too
Checklist for being a ufc future champion 1. Speak no English 2. Put a hat on Joe’s head
He’s so nonchalant and calm shit is crazy wanna see him fight khamzat
Pride of Asia
This dude is a bigger problem than Khamzat. Khamzat bursts and then gameplan's out of the window. Shavkat's not like that, he's mindful, he's focused. Dude's a problem.
Geoff Neal is a true warrior for taking all that hits! Great fight!!
Mans a cheat didn't make weight by 4 pounds,he had a big advantage but still lost...if he had drained himself to make weight he wouldn't have lasted that long in the 1st place .
@@saracen7774 I agree with you
This guy has potential and he needs to raise the bar to be in the top 5.
Shavkat Rahmonov future champion UFC!
in God wiling !!!
This man really did a standing Machida finish when Jones himself is headlining this thing.
That submission looked even harder to perform
Standing bulldog choke is more impressive than a standing guillotine tbh. The amount of strength required for that is crazy.
Best fight of UFC 285. Shavkat is insane.
Give him the title fight! He deserves that!!!
not even close lmaooo
@@BORRZZ Too close, gypsy
Joe looks so happy to have the hat given to him.
Shavkat is the real deal. That was a solid win over a very dangerous guy. I expected Geoff to give him more problems but Shavkat neutralised him. Khamzat vs Shavkat would be exciting next.
All in all, the main card delivered tonight. However, this fight in particular was the best on the main card for me.
Shavkat is a scary dude! More than deserves a title fight
He need better stand up defense n head movement, but what a beast. Future champion for sure
People say the same thing about khamzat
@@Slickgary007Khamzat would fight in Middleweight
The way he puts the Kazakh headdress on Joe Rogan is hilarious xD
The most slept on undefeated fighter out there rn, guys a beast
Shavkat was Thanos "Let me put Geoff out of his misery and call it Mercy" Note: Let's not forget Geoff missed the weight by 4 lb and it makes Shavkat's win That much more impressive
Lord MOJAHED need to capture this new JR version 🤣🤣🤣
Mo need to make it happen.
Shavkat and GGG are beast from Kazakhstan
from Turkey hi ! my brothers!
What a fight! Shavkat is a beast!! 😈
Yah, this is amazing. Neal was overweight too and this dude is just too talented to care about that. Looking forward to every fight from this young new talent. Absolutely amazing fighter and deserves the title shot as well. Build up on your legs though. Looks like your only weakness is losing strength on your skinny legs. Congratulations!!!
That was a great fight, tons of heart from both contenders.

The future champ for sure. He is ready for the championship fight. Let's go shavkat!
After he got punched in the fucking head 200 times right
if anything, this fight proved he’s not ready for a title shot, he looked good but he was way too hittable
💯 the perfect stage to get him known even more too. it’s going perfect for him!

Showed a great chin and he's dangerous as hell when he goes, but leaves himself very open and ate plenty of shots has a few holes that need sured up but other than that, very excited to see where he goes in the sport.
