"He was ragdolling DC and Cain too."Not surprised Khabib never lost a sparring session. He was ragdolling DC and Cain too.
At the same time.

Hahahahahahaha. He actually comes off pretty respectful imo.Never liked Javier Mendez. It's not just his face, it's just he's so damn smug. So actually, yeah it's his face.
Plenty of topics in the interview, from Chandler's recent comments about Makhacev, to who they want next if they win the title.
- Javier talked about how the fight with Charles is going to play out
“Well, first of all, he’s gonna take him down. It’s just a matter of when, but he will take him down, and Charles is not gonna be able to stand. If Islam doesn’t want to stand, he will not, he’ll be taken down. He is second to Khabib in being able to take people down, and he will go down. Charles will go down. Charles is not known to be a wrestler. Also, keep in mind, Charles has got such a phenomenal Jiu Jitsu game. In MMA, in pure Jiu Jitsu, he’s probably got the best game in the lightweight division."
“The bottom line is, the thing about this fight is, wanna stand up? Okay, let’s go. Going to the ground? Okay, let’s go. So, we’ll see who can dominate where when that time comes. But we’re prepared to dominate in the standup, we’re prepared to dominate on the ground. And they are too. They’re well prepared. He’s a champion for a reason.”
- Javier said Khabib never lost a sparring session ever.
“In all the history, since 2012, since Khabib’s been doing sparring with me in front of my eyes, there has been nobody that’s ever taken a round from him. No one’s ever won a sparring session. Not a sparring session with Khabib ever. Except one man. Islam,” Mendez said. “He’s the only one that has won rounds from Khabib. Never won a session, but he’s won rounds. And I’ve never seen that."
- Javier on who they want next. Rules out Conor Mcgregor because of the Khabib's father covid remarks.
"For me the interesting challenge is Alex. He is a great sportsman, he is a gentleman. And if you’re asking me what I would want and who, as a sports person, not as an entertainment, but if you’re talking about sports who deserves the right? A hundred percent him, one hundred percent. He’s a class act, he comes from a very reputable gym that’s got class coaches. And they stick up for their team. I like what they represent. I like the way they stick up for each other. How they’re like of band of brothers, just like my guys are a band of brothers. I respect them. A very, very high, very, very high opinion of those guys. Very high."
What do my sherbros think?
I agree. Charles striking is so underrated. He schooled Kevin Lee, can match Dustin, and even dropped Gaethje.I respect Javier and agree with most of what he said excet for his statement that they're prepared to dominate Charles in the stand-up. The threat of the takedown may make Charoes more tentative on the feet (just as it was for Khabib's opponents), but Charles is way ahead of Makhachev in the stand-up.

I don't even remember lolThis is off topic but DAMMMNNN.
You just joined this month but already got double yellow. What did you do my sherbro?
He is fighting Gamrot at the same card. I don't think he will win tbh.I remember Volk saying he'd be at the event. Honestly though Beneil Dariush should get the next shot.
If he does though, he should get the shot.He is fighting Gamrot at the same card. I don't think he will win tbh.
Islam will determine where this fight takes place, 1st or 2 Rd submission for Islam imo.
