Khabib and Poirier media day reaction | UFC 242 Open Mat preview, episode two

The Open Mat team react to Khabib Nurmagomedov's refusal to take part in a scheduled media event, just two days before his lightweight title fight in Abu Dhabi. Was it a sign that the champion is struggling to make weight?

[H__]

It seems like these guys want khabib to lose. The things they say about khabib are so negative.

[robertduran]

khabib will make weight!! He is a dedicated champion!!

[lelouchscofield]

Dan Hardy is the type of guy to protest on the streets against Khabib

[jacklyn]

Khabib is not the only fighter to do Q&A during open work out's. Jon Jones has held Q&A's for his last 4 or 5 fights. I can't remember the last time Jon actually worked out at open workouts. Why are they acting like this is a major issue?

[madaxwayne]

Lol no way in hell khabib is gonna miss weight now he has nutritionist to help and his dad watching closely

[arshadcharania]

Inshallah 28-0. And it's not the first time he has skipped or decided to not do open workout instead interacted with the fans. Does that give psychological advantage to your opponent! Hell No!

[happydays]

Is it just me or these guys come off extremely passive aggressive towards Khabib, I can't remember the last time Jon Jones did an open workout, even Nate didn't workout last fight at UFC 241, it's not that big of a deal . Also why would they put that negativity in the air about fighters weight. Stay positive

[nicelysaid]

Dan hates khabib lol. The first thing he said was the group of people around him and the 5 Rolls he came with, even though every fighter has Rolls and Ferrari, including Ottman, .

[bouzekriaoubaida]

Dan"I wanna see khabib loss"hardy

[Yyyy]

hey guys chiil out he had already done a ton of media this event is already sold out a month ago its jus a freakin stupid media day no need to slay him for that he need to focus on the freaking weight so that we can see the freaking fight at the end of the day !

[nsaibialaeddine]

keep coming up with this negativity and he will keep shutting your mouths. Bunch of undercover haters

[socktier]

Khabib is arguably the biggest draw in the Ufc, he calls the shots now.

[science]

What a pathetic question. Those guys WANT Khabib to lose SO bad, especially this Dan guy

[samymaric]

I just think Khabib doesn't want to be effected by a fame. From what I've heard people are crazy down there for his attention. He wants to go into this fight cold headed and calmed.

[louhannaval]

Its bt sport, british, for sure they dont like khabib

[emmanuelyarbrough]

Well, we can talk about it for 11 minutes today or we can just wait for 18 hours and see what happens lol. Of course he makes weight. Come on, no other interesting things to inform us about?

[HevyToy]

Wow US human beings are some wierd creatures! When somone is on hes way up everybody supports him, once hes at top haters will crawl out everywhere like coachroaches.. First conor now i feel the haters crawl out to khabib too.

[maverckgamingyt]

*Video title should be "3 conor Fangirls triggered"*

[lalageorgegca]

Lol he missed weight ONCE. YES ONCE like so so so many others he has once yet his weight cut is something that is overly talked about. Khabib Is undoubtedly one of the most disciplined fighters the sport has ever seen.

[araag.]

Personally I found the q&a more interesting than the usual open work out.
