Media Javier Mendez (AKA coach) responds to Topuria's suggestion that he can submit Islam Makhachev - questions his wrestling legitimacy (vid)

Saw guy inside restaurant down here who looked like Javier Mendez. Could not be sure it was him and did not and would not enter an enclosed restaurant to disturb him. May have waited for him to exit to speak with him

I don't think it was him. I see famous and well known people often. People here thought I was making up my Tracy Cortez encounter, when I have stories about Magic Johnson, Muhammed Ali, Spoke Lee and many more lol. Got some famous Eskimo Brothers too lol.

My manager met Javier and Cain and said they were cool. Siad Javier asked him to come to AKA and train lol many moons ago.

Well there's thousands famous folks and everyday a milion people see them. So I apsolutely believe you. Like a friend of mine and ocassional training partner trained with Crocop. Mirko said he could make it to the UFC. He totally didn't, retired like 11-8 as a pro. He also had Roberto Solid debut in his MMA organisation. He hosted a few mma events. Actually I was live there and Roberto beat up one of our local guys in his debut. Hence I know what Roberto alegedly got paid by One FC. And it's totally bonkers. Just the 2 fights are more than we will make in our whole life. Besides seeing Mirko shouldn't be that hard, he runs a bar in Zagreb. Another friend met him and commented to his face how short Mirko is. Lol Mirko didn't like it. I also had Faldi Chabari, a dutch Moroccan kickboxing champ run 2 classes I traied in. And JZ Calvacante was at the gym one time too. Not sure you guys remember him but he was a world top LW some 15 years ago. I actually asked him to spar, but never came to it.
Right I think we also had Cheik Kongo do a fight in our town. Or was it in the neighbouring town. He won a kickboxing tourney.
I don't remeber if I was there but notice Plazibat also fought in our town. Before he was famous.

Def believe you saw Cortez… Esp since you live/work in So Cal. I lived a little north of where you mentioned in LB… saw Anderson a few times as well as other fighters in the South Bay.

Never bothered people because seems like it’d being annoying (even when there were photo ops in my former life). One day while having lunch with my mom at In n Out I mentioned my reasons for not taking photos.. she said, well even if you don’t want to do it, do it so you can show your kids later on in life…

Well, I never ended up having kids, so I guess Sherbros will do. The only 2 pics I took after the convo with my mom:

I did actually bug Machida for a pic after seeing him 3-4 times in Torrance…figured he’s one of my top 3 favorite fighters and well…I’ll be annoying. He ended up being very chill and personable.

Never saw BJ at the airport, but did see Bisping at Incheon Airport in South Korea. He seemed a little flustered and late for a flight.

I *think* it was you that I told this to, but same here, and it's all because of that prick Ken Shamrock casually dismissing me with the wave of a hand like HHH after my first ammy fight when I went to shake his hand (and it was a sick sub win too, so I assumed he'd at least have liked that).


lol that being said, I got over that issue in the heavy metal world, because every.single.artist I meet keeps turning out to be a super chill, nice and friendly person.
 
Unless I'm mistaken... I don't think Topuria'z been exposed to Khabib/Islam style grappling yet. I'm curious to see how it goes, but Topu's confidence comes off about the same as everyone elsez confidence atm who just get steam-rolled.

Especially since Islam has a hard cut to 155 while Topu'z coming up in weight. That will make a significant difference in the grappling. Islam said he learned a lesson in Volk 1 & he certainly responded as if that were true.

I think I remember that! (Cortez encounter) word folks have done similar things to me lol, they need to get out more.

That’s cool and also funny about Javier - such a coach thing to do!
 
ever since topuria won almost everybody on sherdog went full blown retard mode. Grown ass mfs thinking Ilia could not only beat Islam but submit him. Lol
 
Sherdog has a hate boner for Islam so people will say Ilia will submit Islam once they fight and then turn around and say that Islam only fights FWs if he wins

No real need for it is it? But I still have to hinder myself.
It feels like when you see an old friend and just have to talk to him!
It is a weird thing.

you stating the obvious homes. that's sherdogism.
 
I mean Tuporia could not submit Herbert and he tried for a full round also Max got up fine but Ilia probably was not going to commit to the ground as he wanted to save the energy. Why bother submitting Islam when he has been knocked out cold before Alex P style ?
 
He could, if he can hurt him on the feet. So he has a puncher's chance to submit Islam.
 
Can we let the two champion from two division focus on their own division for a while ?

there are legit contender both in LW and FW division lets make that fight first.
 
Anyone can be submitted if you almost KO them first. So yes it is possible.
