Media Khabib-isms: Tales of The Eagle - Deciphering what's true and what's urban legend?

How could his parents be in the crowd if his father was already dead?

gaethje's parents dude. Not khabib's father.

I'm surprised no one saved it.

Michael Chandler said he never trained bjj in his life. He said he's not even a white belt. He's never seen a gi.



he said his mentor told him not to train bjj and keep his wrestling meta intact, you'll have to rewind it to the 21min mark to hear his explanation about why he chose to never train bjj. I think he just trained submission defense.

He has 7 sub wins, he absolutely trains bjj. He's talked about it in interviews:



I think he's just saying he doesn't train through the official system of getting belts.

And he 100% has been submitted in training. If someone hasn't then they aren't training hard enough to compete in mma.

In this case when Khabib says never it really means very rarely.
