@@RasyidMahri Actually, Al Iaquinta won
Al’s expression at the end was definitely an unexpected gesture, well played sir
Khabib is the GOAT who always fought three enemies at the same time: 1) the player in the cctagon, 2) the unsupportive audience 3) biased commentators And still not a single scratch on this face or body.
You missed the lop sided refs.
He hasn't gotten support because he hasn't earned it yet. Dana tells Joe to ride anyone's nuts and Mr Rogan makes them look like untouchable. Al fought on short notice and still didn't get finished nor submitted. Khabib and the other beard guys are hugger who win fights that way and if somehow they get a knock out, the whole ufc goes bananas (while on the undercards there are amazing finishes) when Khabib punched or kicked, it literally looked like the special Olympics. Here Al exposed how to beat him. Too bad nobody cared enough to follow this blueprint
Why you call him goat???

This fight really showcased khabibs stand up game. He’s got a nice jab and sets things up with his takedown threat
Being honest in one round khabib was recovering stamina and he gave him chances but couldn’t take him down
He doesn’t have a stand up game he’s a ground guy, his stand up sucks 😂😂 he’s lucky Connor didn’t stomp him in round one. If they would’ve had a rematch Connor would be numero uno again 🤣
@@justinjones1507 you believe Connor can outclass khabib ? That’s peek delusion
@@justinjones1507What's that say about Connors standup when he was completely outclassed by a guy whose "stand up sucks". Khabib would completely dominate Connor again in a rematch but worse. You can visually see and hear the fear in Connor when Khabib is mentioned around him, even Connor knows he has almost a 0% chance at beating Khabib.
Watching this back, it's so obvious how far Islam has come from training under Khabib. More complete, Usman and Umar will be even better as champions.

For sure, Makachev a cool dude for that.
yeeahhh dan orang itu adalah islam makachec
They didn’t know what it was like to wipe blood. So Islam had to test this.
I genuinely don’t understand people who say his fights are boring, he had one of the most entertaining styles of all time, just relentless pressure and what he did differently than other wrestlers is that he was constantly active on the ground.
1000% agree its completely different from other wrestling that lay and pray 🙏. I swear I thought I was the only one that felt like this 😊
Those ppl r Mctapper fanboys. They dont mean anything they say. Its just a tantrum.
Fun fact: This is still the highest JAB record in UFC lightweight history.
Exactly
The main thing is people don't understand what's happening most of the time when it comes to wrestling.
Oh my God, Khabib is impossible to defeat. Total domination during most of his fights. No ONE have ever did to these guys like Khabib did. A true champion inside and outside the octagon 🛑 ❤🙏👏☝️

This fight showcase how boring is this Khabib.. The guy is a One Trick Pony and its grappling. He can't even have a solid defence for incoming punches. Always his face looks funny when someone is attacking his face 😂Even his jab is ugly AF. These matches cannot be called as UFC. it should be UGC (Ultimate Grappling Championship) 😂😂 Just imagine if this boring grappling were not allowed in the UFC, where would Khabib end up? 😆😂 well faught Al Iaquinta❤

How dumb can you be? This is a fighting sport where you use all your tools to overcome the opponent it doesn’t matter if it’s a one trick pony or not as long as you get the win.
Legendary fighter.
"To be great in this sport is so hard enough, to be elite is so rare, to be realy feared is something special"
Laquinta earned the privilege of going full distance with Khabib. I believe he prepared for that and fought to survive.
Khabib jab is way underrated! The speed of his takedowns is unmatched as usual
In a sport where bleeding is inevitable, we witnessed a man who never bled!
very good defense he rolls very well definently best lightweight
Its a skin thing. Some guys just don't get cut or bruised.
his sambo, his stamina and his game plan >>>>>
He also fought only a handful of high-level fighters, and retired.
He retired in his prime, so it's not a fair comparison with other fighters. Fedor would look like a god if he retired in his prime. Jon Jones would also be the same If he retired as soon as he beat Chael, but he's the GOAT for fighting multiple generations.
This match is really exciting. Khabib dominated maybe 80% of the match. But the opponent is very tough. Never give up 💪
Ragin' Al Iaquinta obtained legendary status in my all time tough guy records with this performance

Khabib is the most amazing fighter I've ever seen
I miss him 😔
mctapper don't miss him😂
With all the other wrestlers in the UFC, I never understood why casuals would call Khabib boring. He is the least boring wrestler I’ve ever seen. When he’s on the ground, he’s not laying on his opponents to hold control time and stall the standup, he’s trying everything he can to kill them, constantly. He shoots takedowns relentlessly until he lands one, smashes their guard with pressure, then throws HEAVY shots as soon as he reaches a position where he can generate the force he is looking for. He is never still and he is constantly pressuring his opponents to try to break their will. His submission attempts are incredibly well timed and intelligent, and his ground and pound is SAVAGE. It’s rare to see fighters pivot so hard into punches in a dominant position on the ground without ever losing position or throwing themselves off balance. He’s not in the GOAT conversation, but he was a MONSTER. Wish we got to see more of him, because I’m sure he would be in that conversation now.
Excellently put, better than the sportscasters.
Fully agree. The only silver lining to Khabib leaving in his prime as that it opened the way for Islam - they'd never have competed against one another I'm sure. We'll never know what Khabib could have done had he not retired and I don't think it's reasonable to call him the GOAT as a result, but he was undeniably the king of the lightweight division in this era and an incredibly entertaining wrestler.
"least boring wrestler" that's a bit exaggeration
With all the wrestlers in ufc I never understood why khabob didn’t face other wrestlers instead of just crouch sniffing small strikers
The GOAT. Islam could be better
Al Laquinta fought a legend in the ring. A story to tell for generations. Much respect to both of these warriors.
A great striking tutorial, from both guys. Thanks
Khabib Nurmagomedov Best fighter in the world

Not even close. There are so many better fighters you would need 10 hands to count them all

Damn, Laquinta stepped up and made a good showing for himself especially on short notice. I was surprised that he did so well against Khabib. 👍💪
Khabib is such an amazing champion. You see him take 2 rounds undisputed, and then he fights round 3 in Al's territory to give him a chance.

man how about Al, man he is a beast definitely says a lot about the guy against khabib and to stop his take downs so well. So much respect i think i found a new favorite fighter for the time
Al even try to takedown Khabib with his "own medicine". Mostly i watched how Khabib only try wrestle opponents
"Go back to father plan" it's amazing!!
Bro khabibs striking was so underrated he was busting Al up with that jab
Very interesting fact of this fight: Khabib was watching loads of videos of Muhammad Ali boxing while training and cutting weight for this fight that he even admitted that he went too overboard with his striking because he was so motivated from the videos. You may also notice that mid fight his brother Abubaker Nurmagomedov started getting angry with him and told him to stop messing around (With the striking stuff). But Iaquinta would credit his striking as really weird that it was hard to counter but also give credit to Iaquinta for his wrestling defence in this fight.
Damn you learn something new everyday

Fun fact: This is still the highest JAB record in UFC lightweight history.
Khabib is certainly near the top of any all-time list after destroying nearly everyone put in front of him. He seemed to be the closest thing to unbeatable that we ever experienced in MMA. He fought at the highest level and never bled. Who does that ...
Only 4-5 elite fighters.
Facts. Khabib is the best.
@@serendipitouscomet Still more than most fighters, the LW division having the most skilled fighters overall, and hey he proved that elite or not it didn't really mattered for him since the outcome and the manner were the same, which most "undefeated" athletes couldn't prove when losing or struggling against a better adversity
@@serendipitouscometWhat?!? Khabib fought whoever was there, and the rankings change all the time. If Oliveira, Dariush and others were not busy getting beaten up when Khabib was in top 10, he could have mauled them and others as well. Not to mention that everyone ducked him including Nate, Pettis, Eddie and others...
Jon Jones is the closest to unbeatable
Khabib is one of the best fighter, specially n grappling
Khabib got a good chin and solid defense for someone who doesn’t really so heavily on his stand up game.
Well i really miss this era
Khabib's striking wasn't that great but its better than a lot of people believe, the guy moves around so quick and his footwork here was definitely better than most fighters of this time, which is why his takedowns worked so well because he wasn't a stocky wrestler, he was pretty agile, his defense was also high level, look at the head movement in this fight and how many right hands he blocked/parried with his arm/shoulder
I think Khabib's striking actually is quite effective and brilliant. He literally outstruck Gaethje, knocked down Conor and showed a good striking defense against Dustin.

Commentary made this basically unwatchable. Gotta mute it.
Am very impressed by Al's defense, a pity he lacked that bit of offensive punch.
He defended takedowns well and on the ground somehow managed to turn giving up his back into an advantage against Khabib. But on their feet he was just eating those punches. He didn't even try to defend. And that's what we saw on the scorecard. Some judged 50:43 so they had him down hard for 2 rounds. I'd guess 1 and 3
I think the problem was khabib has good head and leg movement, so hard to hit. And khabib had the reach advantage and weight advantage as well. Al is tough as nails, but I agree. If he was something more like Volkanovski, super agile with the boxing, then the fight mightve been a bit different
The 🐐 right there!!

There will never be another Khabib. You can literally see in Alquintas eyes in the first round he already knew he couldn't win the fight. Khabib to me is the greatest. Being in the most dangerous sport in the world and just maul everyone with ease, put your will on your opponent and retire undefeated without even bleeding, that's GOAT status
islam next khabib
Maybe because he got the call for a fight, like, 5 minutes before the card happened? Don't get me wrong, I doubt Al would beat Khabib in any kind of scenario, but no one went into this fight expecting anything less than what we got.
