Very nice interview. Adam is very good, respectful and smart. Although Islam believe on his skills and excited for the fight, he is always humble and grateful on Khabib's father. Islam and Khabib are my most favorite MMA fighters. Real role models for the sport.
So true , according to abdulmanap s neighbors and friends they said that Abdulmanap always find a way to fix the problem , while other people are arguing cuz they have a problem Abdulmanap will always calm them down and say stop arguing we will find a way ...
Islam is so calm all the time 😂
Respect his english skills
Calm and composed; that is Islam; wish u all the best Brother; Do what u do best on Saturday and Bring back the belt to where it belongs!
His English is remarkable, and how he portrayed AbdulManap… wow
Listening to all these interviews and just see the change in the talk of these dagestani guys when they are talked about khabib's father.... That man has earned so much respect from these guys...
Islam is the fresher, younger, stronger and better overall skilled mma fighter. Islam wins this! Change my mind!
It's crazy. He fought the champ the first time he stepped on the cage
Always Father's Plan Brother 💙
Can we take a moment to appreciate Adam with how he did this interview 👌🏽 we need to give people like him and Dan Hardy more credit because they're amazing at what they do 🔥 can't wait for this Saturday and I hope Islam comes out victorious 💪🏼
this reminds me of khabib vs conor and Dustin all over. Everyone said conor and dustin finished elite levels guys. People are going to be shocked if Islam wins

The way he said " I'm so excited" yet he said it so oce cold.. he wins this one, by submission, 3rd round.
Appreciate Islam learning English. Now without any translator at all and even trying to trash talk Khabib saying he's 94 kgs roasting him like that in BT sport interview. He is confident now in front of camera. I wish more of interviews like this to showcase the other side of fighter's personality. So far, he brought out the personality of islam a little bit. We can see a peak of his funny side.
adam :whats your soccer position? islam:everywhere😂😂😂😂
If islam doesn't beat Charles,,, the conversation remains the same.. Islam is a beast , 100% future champ.
much love for islam! so humble , love from kurdistan! ISLAM TIME , LETS GET THAT BELT BROTHER
What an epic interview - props to the interviewer for asking great questions, understanding Islam's English is not the best, using body language skills and making Islam talk a lot for the first time lol .
