The fight footage is from Jon Jones vs Machida

Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov talks about Jon Jobes

[Brahim]

I understand what abdulmanap was saying, totally, there's something rather special about Jones, while people kept bashing him for his bad behaviour, i always felt like if this troubled man just takes a second, calms down and comes to his senses, he will eventually realise the amount of power that he posses, and when he does, nobody will be able to stop him... Because someone who constantly fights himself, in case he wins that fight, he'll win any other fight. This is literally Jon Jones, and this is exactly why Abdulmanap saw the potential in him, a lot of fighters are scary and tough, but none of them is as real as Jones, he could've acted nice, but no, the man was in war with himself, thankfully we can now see how much he developed as a person, i think he's finally winning that war, and that's what the whole UFC should be scared of rn.

And he's not lying. His opinions were always expert. R.I.P Abdulmanap

[faysalahmed]

He looks like and sounds like a legendary character from fiction who died but his legacy still continues

[beka]

As a russian speaker the translation was spot on btw, not often this happens. Props to the translator 👍

[nautika]

Khabib father speaking absolutely truth respect

[rainkode]

He had a God gifted ability to scan any fighter's skill

[agungsatrio]

May Allah swt give you jannah uncle, alfatihah 🤲🏼

[debojyotidas]

This guy has produced so many great fighters. He could smell champions ❤. Rip legend 🙌

[Ismail-Yahya]

May Allah have mercy on uncle. What an assessment! #Legend

[kazziodex]

When abdulmanap talks about you, then there is something special about you.

[Bluezkat]

What can you say about this man... he's a Legend. When he speaks, everyone should listen. RIP

[subhamsardar]

Every boy deserves this type of dad...❤🔥

[kishores]

It's a huge honor for JJ to hear such high regards from someone like sir late Adbulmanap. This alone is enough to end any debate on questioning JJ's GOAT status.

[phoenixmilburn]

When this legend is saying Jon is the number 1 fighter you know its not bs

[renechang]

Khabib and his dad are great students of the game. They have great knowledge on fighters and fighting. Respect

[prateektewary]

Only a great coach can recognise greatness....🎩

[smoothjulio]

This guy was one of the all-time coaches of this sport and his son was one of the great prodigies.

[omarag]

rest in peace good sir and thank you for bringing honoe back to the sport world

[likejo]

I love how both Khabib and his Dad appreciate Jones greatness and never talk about his eyepokes

[JamesWalker-gjwc]

The world lost a great man with your loss. Not perfect but definitely a great mentor, coach, father, an humble awesome human being. 🏆🙏
