Khabib later that night:

“Hey! who snitch on me!”

His beard give 100+ protection to the face

[dinkocejvanovic]

He looked worse after the training than after the fight

„Oh, ok Coach, i get mouthpiece“ impression on point

[TheDJEnrique]

kids could learn so much from these stories. Khabib always showed respect, called Javier coach ; no matter how big he got .

[MaktabahAlIstiqamah]

Khabib wasn't use to taking any damage; and years into retirement, he still hasn't taken any damage in his entire career. 🤯

Javier advices like a father to his favourite son

The kinda people you would trust around your family 👊

How lucky is Khabib to have 2 Fathers who care about him a lot, with no selfish motives. Jav is well accomplished, but he knows that he doesn't know everything. The true mark of a leader right there. Always Father's plan, what a stand up guy.

Khabib: proper equipment? Bring me bear

Coach Javier and his wife are some of the coolest people in San Jose. I trained at AKA for about six months while working in San Jo. Always super cool!

[matthillfromcollege]

The considerate “oh… okay coach” is pure khabib. It’s like when dc actually makes a good point and he has to concede

[mohammadimran]

The lesson that we all can derive from this is "Be always open to changes and employ the changes right away if you are convinced that the changes would benefit you".

Khabib grew up fighting his entire life outside in mountains and and in training never gave a damn until he came to AKA Savage AF

[elj]

This is why I will be an AKA fan boy forever Javier is awesome the team is awesome 👏🏻 ❤

“I go and he goes and I go and he goes and I go and he goes…”

Khabib is savage he doesn't need one😂😅

[Janintong]

I wonder if Mendez ever told Khabib "Do i need to tell your father about this?"
