This was prime RDA too. He won 5 straight before this fight & 5 straight after this including the lightweight belt from Pettis.
Yea I thought this is where he would lose to elite strikers that are good everywhere. Lost my sure bet lol 😂
actually the first two rounds were quite competitive. ok, Khabib was on top but didn't do much damage, I could see RDA maybe pulling some TKO.But it was the third one which really sealed it, that throw was money.
@@vladiinsky It was bound to happen eventually. RDA held his own for the first two rounds but Khabib is inevitable.
Respect for RDA. He really had good fight.
Cant wait for his next fight!!!
this is young Khabib, vs prime RDA, and people still deny the greatness of this man, there is no one at LW even up till now can beat this man, not Oliveira, not even Makhachev, he is once in a lifetime talent, too good of a mma wrestler and grappler, outstanding fight iq, titanium chin, beast cardio, ferocious gnp, elusive defensive stand up, case closed..
Also RDA is strongest grappler Khabib ever face And then people think he only fight striker
@@butthurtindianmcowsual8530 his entire career is all strikers and nobodies. Zero wrestlers
Yes i think khabib is The G.O.A.T,🙌
He spars with Machachev almost everyday and Machachev says that Khabib wins almost all
@@LinkLegend0 khabib weighs more. Im sure khamzat would beat khabib
To give you guys some context here, this is RDA in his prime, RDA went on a 10-1 (only loss being to Khabib here) streak, winning the LW belt. He was thoroughly dominated by a young Khabib who was not even in his prime yet.
1:10 hit him on the back!
Yeah … but people still cares about his title defence )
@@nft3 ?
I think he got more dominant after this his wrestling
wait, wait a minute, i don't see the same fight to you watching.. RDA completely dominated? Nice joke hahaha
In the UFC world where everyone bleed..This is the guy who never bled...Khabib the 🦅🦅🦅
And there would be guys saying he only wrestles whole this man went toe to toe with elite fighters kn stand up and they making an excuse for him not getting bled shows how great he is
Dog khabib the worst champ ever
@cocieto5139 A man who had 3 Title defenses by finishing all 3 opponents is worst champ!? Wipe you tears mate
@cocieto5139 cry more
😂😂
for people who aren't aware, this is when rafael was in BEAST MODE. he won five straight before this fight, then five after to win the lightweight belt. this, imo is one of khabibs most impressive victories. rafael dos anjos was unstoppable at this point in his career.
Starched Bendo and absolutely mauled Nate Diaz after this. RDA had everything, dangerous striking and grappling, cardio, an iron chin, and he was the gold standard of a pressure fighter.
@@Chopper51138 I would have liked to see a 165lb division. At least at this current time, I think he depletes himself a bit to make 155 now and he’s too small to seriously compete at 170.
@@jeffhabib6673 165 would be such a great division, so many guys who just don’t fit at LW or WW. RDA, Kevin Lee, Nate Diaz, Masvidal, and many more. I feel like Colby or Burns would likely rule that division though. Neither have any trouble at all making 170, and are already near the top of the food chain at welterweight.
@@Chopper51138 I know. It’s a shame. Making welterweight 175 as well would be a good thing too. You’re right about Colby/Burns. They would probably dominate. Wonder Boy might actually be someone who would move to 165. Lightweight and welterweight are probably the deepest divisions. At least they are up there so they would have no problems filling that division up.
"Unstoppable" I am certain that you don't know the meaning of that word. "Unstoppable" actually means that you cannot be beaten. Glad to give you a better understanding of the English language.
It's good that Khabib has made a lot of mma fans appreciate agressive grappling
Grappling is only aggressive if you do damage after. Humping a leg all round to avoid striking isn't respected.
@@weschristenson2569 good said brother khahib just only take down
i don’t know why but the words “ aggressive grappling “ just made me die of laughter 😂😂😂😂
@@weschristenson2569 why do you even watch this sport lol? This is as exciting as grappling gets. Best ground and pound in the world and he actually finishes fights. If you dont find this entertaining then mma is literally not for you.
@@weschristenson2569 Chess is boring if you do not know the rules. Just stick with kickboxing.
Not only did Nurmagomedov win all 29 of his fights, but even every single decision victory was unanimous. In every way, this guy was the best.
This Arab is tough.....
@@crimeson7218 he is a Russian not an Arab
and he never bled, not one bloody node even, He is the GOAT
I don't think so. He clearly was losing against Tibau. No hate for the eagle but that fight Tibau was robbed.
Your right 29 pro fights and he still couldn't fight, thank goodness for wrestling it's all the poor guy had..😅
Dos Anjos won the belt 1 year (in 2015) later having 4 fights... whilst Khabib next fight was after 2 years (2016). If Khabib never got injured during that time we could have had around 5-6 years of prime Khabib fighting and defending the belt.
We’d have witnessed him bully Connor instead of him being double champ too
@@ajreyna2350yeah. Such a shame he faced a couple of injuries and hospitalizations
He and Conor stole Tony's belt by being too inactive
@@oppenheimer2822tony wouldn’t and never will touch gold lmao, he’s not champ material he would got ragdolled by khabib lol
"I'm gonna wrestle him all day. Make him tired. Make him tap. This is my plan." Khabib to every opponent.
And still they can't do shit, absolutely insane
Well this is soo boring

@@sidneygpaivaify its mma not boxing or a circus fight to kill. Go watch boxing

The fact that this man Khabib went 29-0 only lost 1 or 2 rounds. Never been cut, bruised, never bled. Just insane.
U don't cut or bleed when u lay on top of people

@@Christopher-bh4gx If it works, it works. Don't know why people think this is a diss.
@@Christopher-bh4gx is it illegal? Its like other stricker fighters are too afraid to grasplre, hence they strike Also, there are lot of worldclass wrestlers like Dc, chael, gsp,,, all of them bleed and they bleed alot
Khabib never lost bruh
Can we all appreciate the fight that Khabib treated a BEAST FIGHTER like Dos Anjos, like a RAGDOLL?? This guy is just INSANE!!

12:34 let's take a second to appriciate the beauty of this takedown
And did you notice after that, Khabib stood right up into and on his palm, then and pinned his hand with the botton of his frickin' FOOT!? Unreal.
@@andrewhuber3844 OH jeeez I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THAT UNTIL NOW. Khabib really is on his own level man
@@andrewhuber3844 Wow
MashaAllah Khabib bro..
O sota gari
Khabib’s stand up is sneaky good because he has everyone so scared about the takedown, he can catch a lot of guys with hooks and overhands, especially when he fakes the level change
He isn't a great striker, but the threat of getting taken down by him is so ridicilous high that he can utilize the fear of his opponent to land good shots here and there.
Also he's less tired in practically every minute he's spent in the UFC. He haven't eaten bunch of shots to the head so he's fearless attacking.
You understand the game well
@@D-D_AA Lol no u are just making excuses for Mcgregor, Khabib is a better boxer than Mcgregor, i know it, i box as well.
Nah, Khabib has an unorthodox and non-smooth defense style. It looks like the punches are landing but he's actually deflecting them and dodging (look up the vid abt his defense and striking). He's a good striker.
I remember this fight as the "real" test for Khabib. In my mind if he could beat RDA, especially at this point in time, it would cement him as "that dude" at least in my mind. RDA was arguably the most well rounded lightweight and was in absolute beast mode going 10-1 during this streak with this being his one loss. I was impressed of course and even more so now looking back at it. Khabib is just the most dominant. I get goosebumps watching Islam fight because of the similarity in styles but man what a legend. both of them.
Your right about that this definitely was one of Nurmagomedov‘s real test before his actual debut when he got noticed by the world!
100%. These are those huge early on tests that either break or solidify a rising talent.
Idk if u watched these legends rise but if it is it would have been a great memory
Yeah... Khabib is one tough Arab.
@@crimeson7218how dumb are you? Khabib isn't Arab, Islam does not = Arab, he's Russian
12:32 what a perfect move ... like in textbook
and the commentator timed it perfectly
That was such beautiful takedown
Khabib was the art of the sport.

The Ref telling rda to do something when he was defending a takedown 😂😂😂😂
and telling khabib to work when he was mauling dos Anjos 3 minutes straight in the 3rd
I think Mcaarthy was telling him to work out of that position himself because he wasn't going to separate them
"mauling"?? "Mailing" as in trying to wear on RDA or being in his guard? Because there's no point in this fight where Khabib was just landing ground and pound continuously like he was against Barboza, McGregor, Dustin and so on

Completely dominating him grappling
Whenever a Black Belt BJJ Master is trying to avoid grappling, the probability is high that he is fighting Khabib.
is RDA a BJJ master?
GTA LEGEND TV I mean he’s a black belt
@@aslanieunda6447 you can hear joe rogan says rda is bb on jiu jitsu
@Steve Barnes that's stupid it's just another form of grappling and it applies to MMA better because of the striking and BJJ has the emphasis on subs. I'd love for khabib to move up in weight and go against the guys like Maia and diaz or even finally compete against Tony who has dangerous BJJ. It would be interesting for sure
Let Me Get Uhhh I think Steve Barnes refers to the T-Shirt worn by Khabib with this statement on it
RDA became world champ after this .... Shows how good khabib is
beating everyone he fought kinda tells you how good he was.
If Khabib wasn’t out injured after this fight he’d have been champion all the way back in 2014
Braveheart But this is all the way back when he was 25. He was already a world beater back then.
Khabib is MMA GOAT, and after beating Tonys ass noone will deny it.
@@Someone_KhabibbeatsJonesEASILY they still will though lol specially muslim haters he really is the best in the world at fighting

@@memolano100 it's Dustin Poirier words
@@memolano100 Evryone knows habib tecniccc but no ones can beat him
This was RDA in the middle of his prime, 11 months before he won the world title while Khabib was out injured
Najib Rahman yupp, at this point he was on a 5 fight win streak and after this he went on another 5 fight win streat.. he was 10-1 this time around, khabib mauled him
It is all determination. He is so determined to win. As determined, if not more determined than anyone Ive ever seen in any sport. Thats why he is the best. Combine willpower and determination to train, fight and win and you get Khabib.
Goat talk
Khabib is the only fighter to beat the system. Dana, the ref, the commentators, the crowd, the Nevada State Athletic Commission, the UFC were all against Khabib. But he still won in vicious style. No other fighter in UFC history faced that kinda pressure. That’s why Khabib is the GOAT.
los derrotó y después de que amaban a Khabib, no querían que Khabib dejara UFC.. That is the most relevant victory, defeated each fighter and the system.
How so ? Seems like he had a decent fan base
12:34 - That takedown is a beauty
Yes
Art
Judo my friend The most underrated martial art
The mass in one sense... Matematic.. Sample.. 🤣
That's not a takedown. It's actually called a trip
12:30 RDA: Let's take it to the ground 12:35 Khabib: Thank you brather
That was the funny part 🙆🏽♂️😂🤣🤣
Lol
3 things that made Khabib the GOAT of this sport are: 1: Power (Physical Strength) 2: Stemina and 3: Heart ❤️❤️❤️
You should add 1 more 4- Never got a cut in a extreme violence fighting even sport after 29-0
He like ladies 😆😆😆 caughtly fight not fare
The real 3 things are nothing because he’s not the goat and isn’t even close to being tor goat💀
@@Sahil4N cant take u seriously if ur Khabib goat argument is he never got cut💀 shows a lack of understanding and context of his career. 80% of which was against unranked bums
@@Sahil4N and he’s just not the goat. 3 title defenses. Jones has more title fights then Khabib has fights in the ufc. Nothing more needs to be said.
There's levels to this thing. Then, there's the ceiling. Then there's the roof. Khabib is in a castle looking down at the roof. Absolute 🐐 🐐
Dang
Honestly this fight was the fight that sold me on the eagle being the best in the division he man handled rda who happens to be one of the most well rounded and respected fighters in the decade honestly a real world class warrior who can do it all and it was like a field day for khabib
Great comment but punctuation is important, Austin lol.
RDA was beast in that time, i like to watch his fights even today, classy.
Austin Martinez not just best in the division but possibly best pound for pound, khabib never lost a fight EVER from when he started mma all the way to present ufc
rda wasn't on his peak at that time
@@Ajax222able he won the LW gold after this
"our heavyweight champion... Cain Velasquez" Man, that took me back.

Wow, Khabib a man of massive Aggression and Technic!!!!!
He’s been doing this for his entire life. He’s fully aware when someone attempted an armbar, triangle, guillotine, kimura. Dos Anjos really tried everything there
Khabiib puts shame to jutjitsu

@@Theaibasics islam vs oliveira would answer that

Wow.. forgot how good Dos Anjos was in his prime and reminded how unimaginably good Khabib was/is.

@@merkog7444 he’s a genuine monster, ufc is full of demons tho
That's why Khabib canceled 3 fights with Tony. Undisputable facts.
@@alexmendoza9270 cso
@@alexmendoza9270 Actually one or two of those Tony cancelled himself. I think it was actually Khabib cancelled one, Tony cancelled one, and the other one was poor communication, they didn't realise it was going to happen and they were stuck in dagestan. But really, Khabib would demolish Tony. Look how many times Tony has gotten his ass beaten. Look how many times Khabib has had that happen - Zero.
When joe rogan was comparing khabib to jones, i think he realised what we all did. This kid was that once in a lifetime talent. but the best thing I've heard is- in a sport known for blood, khabib never bled
6:49 Khabib said that when RDA got him in that choke he made a sound like he's getting choked to get RDA to keep squeezing and tire his arms out, he's crazy 😂😂
Same to Dustin, haha gave him his neck. Isn't he fucking awesome haha
that's the plan, get them tired and once they let go, he pounces! The 'ol fakery.
@@hikoseijuro9291 "Make him a little bit tired" Khabib always says something like this when journalists ask his plan for the next opponent
Idk if I believe that I think he was in a little trouble there if you look at his right hand at 6:45 it’s like he almost taps with his right hand. I know that wasn’t a tap but it looked like he was definitely struggling
12:34 is all i gotta say. Sick sick sick.

*laughs in El Cucuy*
Michael Landon Bear Khabib beats Mcgregor 9 times out of 10. If the rematch is the 1 time out of 10 then he’ll win. Otherwise he’ll get mauled again. It’s true that Mcgregor is superior on the feet and that Khabib is lightyears ahead in the grappling but guess who determines whether the fight is standing or on the ground, Khabib. Styles make fights.
El cucuy cant even stop kevin lee. but still some delusional fans think he can beat khabib...there is absolutely no way tony beats khabib Khabib is very bad match up for tony stylistically . The only competition to khabib is islam makhachev in whole ufc
@@touyb75 tony was saved by the bell in round 1. And i am just pointing towards the wrestling pedigree.tony is a great fighter but khabib is greatest and far superior stylistically
@@najib9093 Tbh Connor is not far superiour on the feet in MMA. In boxing/kickboxing vs Khabib, sure, but not in MMA.
Crazy leg kicks from khabib ...
That eagle uppercut is Khabib’s version of the gazelle hook. Closed distance (used flying switch knee as he developed) and was EXTREMELY explosive!
And this was the prime RDA. He's on a 5 fight win streak and after loosing to khabib he again went on a 5 fight win and became champ!
And he was the underdog. Everyone knew how good was Khabib since then
and it's also revealed later RDA tested positive used enhancer drug for this fight. Still got mauled. How crazy is that.
No way right? This just a troll comment?
how come nobody can spell lose or losing anymore?
It's not like prime rda was something legendary lol
For those who don't know. Khabib beat rda here in 2014, then he got injured and rda became champion in 2015. Alot of fans knew how good khabib was for a while but he was always injured, he finally got his fame in 2018

@@fahadus No offense tho Islam but the fact he got KoD is hard for us to forgot
@@Vulture2918 6 years ago? Anyone can get caught man. Just see how far that guy went and how far Makhachev has come since. Definitely a bad night. Every fight since and before he's won. And he was rocked bad but a lot if fighters have made a comeback within the fight by being rocked like that. Just look at the last Gaethje Chandler fight. Oliveira won the belt after bring rocked like that. Don't let this cloud your judgment of a great fighter. He will reign the LW division inshaAllah for a very long time. I'd you think getting caught reduces a champion you'd be left with nothing but Khabib in the end. Everyone's been shut down every now and then.
casuals like islam more cause he didnt embarrass their babyboy mcgregor

RDA has literally fought EVERY top guy at 155 and 170. Former champ and maybe the toughest resume of any fighter in the UFC. Future hall of famer imo.
RDA was a legit badass at that time, so this is impressive. Beautiful throw around 2:47 of that 3rd round.
Rafael was favorite before that fight , but khabib is the beast 👑💫 he snatches soul out of the fighters No body remain the same after fighting khabib ❤
That reversal throw at 12:35 is insane 🔥
This is why Khabib value Judo so much.

Judo > BJJ
That was crazy! Khabib was like, you wanna try take me down?? Haha
The amount of strength that takes is immense and to then control your opponent after is even harder.
He needs to fight Anthony Pettis - Joe Rogan It would have been brutal for Pettis
Japheth Bartholomew pettis is a beast in his own right
@@hunchoboss534 Nah he'd have been brutalized
Pettis would have been rag dolled. I like pettis too.
Dos Anjos made Pettis look like a puppy, Imagen Khabib.
@@jackson9090 I hate that MMA math. It doesn't work like that bro.
People talk of Jon Jones as the GOAT. But Khabib having not a single loss and dominating every fight? Come on, pound for pound Khabib clearly has all the evidence that he is the GOAT!
Oh my Lord ...only and only one khabib ..
Funny thing is that at this day, nobody even remembers that RDA probably gave Khabib the best fight out of everyone. Rewathcing this fight he did better than conor and poirier combined
obiwanfx I get what you’re saying but the only person to ever take a round from Khabib was Conor.
@casual complaints what did Gleison do though? Just because Khabib couldnt take him down doesnt mean Gleison automatically should win. What did Tibau do that was so great and deserved him the victory, go on i'll wait.
@@ForceGhostAnakin doesn't count when ur finished ye filthy dirty casual.. McNutthangers always grasping for straws, your boi got smeshed deal with it..
@@ozz7602 It does mean something for the context of this conversation
Literally everyone did better than Poirier, Dustin has zero takedown defense...he even got taken down by Pettis of all people and mounted with zero resistance by Alvarez. He didn't defend a single Khabib takedown, his only opponent not to do so. Tony should've had that fight instead. Dustin was a pointless matchup and a waste of time as many said long before it happened.
Joe : Who can handle this guy ? The answer is not yet found until now. 28-0
"The answer is not yet found" or "the answer is still unknown" sound more native :3 "until now" implies there is a contradiction "now"
tony? yeah his time will come to be on "khabib's mauling montage", nobody is stopping this G.O.A.T.
@My penis is incredibly small but, you must be joking
Yes
Hes a coward tho. Ran away from ufc 249
Always watching these fights with fear, I image myself in the cage fighting khabib, even thinking about it makes me anxious
Even Khabib dominates the fight, I can clearly see that he can't totally control him. Dos Anjos was one of the strongest opponent he ever faced. Look how he doesnt give up and tries to defend even in the worst positions. There is not much fighter can struggle this long.
It was a pre prime khabib vs prime rda. Also rda was gassing in 3rd round. In a 5 round he will get easily finished
This was prime Khabib after that he struggled with garbage like mctapper & La Quinta, RDA is his only good win but a amazing top tier win
@@DADRB0B55if u say he strogle it means they are all better than the guy from Brazil
@@DADRB0B55nah come in RDA put up a much better fight iaquinta, but I’ll admit khabib looked insane here. Definitely his best performance by a landslide especially in his stand up
@@DADRB0B55RDA definitely put up the best fight other then Justin who actually had khabib in some sort of trouble with the leg kicks 😂😂😂.
People forget RDA came into this fight on a 5 fight win streak. Khabib is a monster!
RDA also became lightweight champ a year after this fight
not only that, RDA won 10 fights out of 11 and Khabib was the one who gave him that L, this RDA beat everybody: Pettis , Benson Henderson, Cerrone, Tibau Diaz ...even Alvarez beat him with a lucky shot, RDA was whopping Eddie's ass before he landed that lucky shot
@@Arthur-ti4vb Eddie is a fraud! he lost to Conor on purpose!
and that he won the title months later because Khabib was injured
@@OzgurAKSOY1923 Yeah and every one knows the purpose $$
This fight got everything we need in UFC: kick's, upperkut's, knee's, takedown 's ... just a beautiful fight
And apostrophes
No KOs doh
funnyguyhahahaha and casuals
@@hermit6208 opostrophe’s*
And boredom
KHABIB IS A GENIUS MMA FIGHTER
THE ABSOLUTE GOAT OF MMA & all associated sports in that cage in the ring. Savages.
God bless Khabib and his late father. Valiant performance by RDA also!

RDA avoided the submission. Well done. I wonder who else ended a fight with Khabib by decision
Khabib Nurmagomev is one of the few people on the planet who has truly earned the title of "The Ultimate Fighter"; his skills, abilities and sportsmanship exemplify and define what a "True Warrior In The Ring" is and should be.
Yeah. He has something extra going on.
Absolutely, absolutely. A wrecking machine in the ring and a real gentleman outside. He is a true warrior and master of his profession. And to put the crowning touch on it all he makes it look easy. A rare fighter so complete and we'll rounded, there is few like him ever.
Very true very true!
Yeah his stand up was awful. His kicks are laughable.
@@beefybake6110 You know what’s even more "laughable"? What you just said.
Khabib super fighter
- Next level grappling - Next level strength and conditioning - Next level aggression Unstoppable for 29 fights. Hardly lost any round. Incredible.
He also ain't got time to bleed.
12:26 " oh so you're a wrestler now ?"
