Khabib is one of those once in a lifetime characters

[kovenmaitreya]

it's baffled me how many people try to nitpick Khabib's skill and legacy, but here we have John Danaher of all people giving him props so from this point on I'm just gonna refer people to this podcast.

[MB-shdz]

Khabib was the most dominating fighter to ever live. Never dropped, never cut, never hurt. Domination from start to finish.

[ImranKhan-gshy]

Khabib if probably the only MMA fighter in history where all his opponents knew about his gameplay going into the fight, yet they still could do nothing about it.

[Gabriel-vgqv]

Megan Olivi said it best "Khabib is the unicorn of the sport and no one will ever be like him". His dominance and confidence were unfathomable, second to none, out of this world. He was Muhammed Ali of MMA.

[akalayyahya]

The greatest gift Khabib has given MMA is reversing the narrative from praising the villain to appreciating the hero!

[ryanmolonie]

Khabib is a special gift in MMA and in normal life, we’re lucky to experience someone like him in our lifetime.🙏

[bewiththetruthalways]

He was an anomaly, I have never seen someone dominating opponents in such a way. Everyone used to say that once he grabs you, it's over. The dominant part always get me.
People don't realize that he is not just an athlete but a father figure as a whole to dagestan. He chose to step on his father shoes early on to fill the gap left by his father.
Training so many individuals at such a young age full time.

[youngkwak]

Khabib is the product of discipline and a great father who was a champion. He instilled qualities in khabib combined with talent to be the best

[jaberalwaily]

I love it when professionals talk and give you pure analysis without thinking about anything else no base no hate no racism

[zeus_arbios]

There was no one till this date whose fight IQ, heart & will are close to Khabib. I have never seen a better ambassador for the MMA in last 20 years than Khabib Nurmagomedov. He has all the qualities one expects in a role model. He is one truly the best role model for the future generation of young fighters and one of the greatest of all time inside and outside the ring/octagon.

[margaretbooth]

I don’t like watching fighting but love listening to Khabib’s interviews as he’s an insane, y smart and humble wise man and so young! Kudos Namaste

[unclefester]

Khabib's transitions are just phenomenal.

[violetrose]

I just watched khabib interview very long interview , he really is genius man alive his thought his opinions and how he sees life is too much for 34 years old man like him, he's like excellent teacher and wise leader ... May Allah bless him

[ronnenvallejo]

I’m not an MMA expert by any means, but to me, it looked like Khabib was toying with his opponents half the time where he could’ve easily submitted them, but chose to keep going to make it more challenging for himself.

[nasirosman]

Spot on danaher...The scariest of all about Khabib.Its that he's always better than his opponents and doesn't have to shows people (fighters) how good he is.

[virginianative]

When he was pounding on Conner saying let’s talk and the escape on Dustin was unreal moments. He’s def HOF

[louhannaval]

Hes always been one step ahead than his opponent, the scary thing about Khabib is, no one has been able to put him under pressure until hes retired, thus we havent see the best of him

[worldgripe]

Beyond his skills, his biggest asset is his mental strength.
