Media Close up: Coach Khabib masterfully explains sequence to Islam

[Bumhead]

Borderline unfair for Islam’s opponents lol.
Fight IQ is second to none bar perhaps JJ in his prime years ago

 

[Goosemen]

I hated Khabib before the Gaethje fight, but I can't deny his greatness afterwards.

He's 15-1 as a coach now as well and will be 17-1 if UFC 272 goes as planned.

He might go down as one of the best fighters and coaches ever.

Nothing but respect.

 

[Reign009]

I'm not sure, but I think he wants Islam to be patient.

 

[oldschoolmmafan]

The passion Khabib has for coaching is inspirational.

 

[Dirty Frank]

Dude just has that winner's DNA written all over him.

 

[LZD]

Was his last be patient/ be careful about giving the ref time to step in before a snap? I think he was trying to save Hooker at the end.

100%, khabib doesn't want anyone to get seriously injured other than Mcgregor.

Wish I had a friend that cared that much about me...

 

[Worthmore]

Dive for the legs Islam! Dive for the legs!

Eagles is the best gym in MMA by a mile. Only thing close we have in the US is Trevor Whittman.

Khbib is a saint to

 

[Tnellie30]

Can anyone show another coach showing a fight IQ remotely close to this?

Spoiler

*Hespectfully, of course. Just a bit of fun.

 

[Juan Bombadil]

I’m sure this will be a talking point in the future if Islam is a dominant champ. People will say he’s just Khabib’s puppet doing whatever he tells him to (which is what a coach is for lol, but they will)

Master and his student…

For real, one of those guys that's annoyingly successful at everything they do while the rest of us flail around lol.

Khabib is unique as a coach in that he actually competed in and won at the highest level in MMA. As good as Trevor Whitman, Javier Mendez, Firas Zahabi, Mark Henry and other coaches are, they don't have the first hand MMA experience that Khabib does.

Matt Serra is the only other former MMA fighter I can think of who went on to become a successful coach.

 

[removeinfo001]

I like how he told him to becareful, so he wouldn't break Hookers arm.

Wholsome

 

[Grandwizard666]

Whoa TS isn't ackmed
Islam has fans besides ackmed?
