Islam has always been shy & introverted. Khabib has said that many times. He even complained to Khabib a while back, that he doesn't wanna do interviews anymore. He just wants to train. And Khabib said, "No it's part of your job to do interviews." Islam just got back to Russia today & is already back in the gym. The dedication of this man to the sport is just on another level.

Islam isn't pretending to be nice. He was raised in such a way to spend his life being nice and optimistic. Just because he doesn't have sharp responses like Khabib, people think he's not good at mic or he's pretending to be nice. While in reality he's such a humble guy and that "short" comment he threw at Alex was just to promote the fight because he was trying his best to make it look like a good feud but he's terrible at that. People weren't entertained by that and assumed something else about him. Give the guy some time to figure out things. He's trying to get out of Khabib's shadow, ofcourse he'd look confused too.

The answer is he is a real religious man that truly honours that, they have real respect for what they do and their opponents. They have honour, not everybody wants to be controversial and they’re not wrong for doing that, Khabib became popular being true to himself just like Islam, and that’s what makes them so likeable.

Islam don't need to prove anything to anyone, haters will find anything to hate. Haters need to learn to swallow defeat.

Islam is the type of heel that people really like and aren't annoyed by. Basically an anti-hero. The things he says in that not quite right English are pretty funny. Who give them? We have to cancel a lot of black belts they make BJJ look bad.

AKA's crew (Shai, I think) said that Islam is soft-spoken and I remember an older video in russian where he was being interviewed and Khabib asked him if he was being shy again. even DC mentioned multiple times that Islam is a quiet guy. I think he is just shy, quiet, cheeky and playful at the same time. so all those short guy remarks were just him being cheeky just as he called DC fat guy. in general, the khabib's team, they are just a nice kid. probably because they trained under the later abdulmanap - apparently the man was very strict in discipline, manners all that stuff.

I love how the khabib haters are coming out in full force now that his prodigy had a tough fight

A few years back Khabib and Islam were giving an interview on a Russian tv, there were questions to both of them and Khabib answered most of the times , saying first that "Islam isn't friendly with the microphone, I will answer your question"

Nah Islam is fire and he’s only going to get better - I see a rematch between and Volk if Volk beats Yair and Islam beats Dariush or whoever’s next.

I think most of you guys can’t think. What Islam just did in the shape and situation he was in, was insane. He went al the way to Australia, the crowd was against him, he cut weight badly and was drained (this has a lot of effect on the fighters). This sounds like Charles going to Abu Dhabi, but Charles could not get the job done. Islam did get the job done and based on rounds, he definitely won the fight. Keep in mind that in this fight Volk was in best shape, because he did not really had to cut weight. Islam did not prepare for the wrestling part and wanted to prove something with his striking and in my opinion he did it fcking great! He fought standing with arguable one of the best stand up fighters. And Islam was more precise and calculated than Volk. Mark my words, when they do a rematch and then in the home turf of Islam. Islam wil demolish him and this time he will dominate him in the ground, because he learned his lesson.

Both tapped gloves before and after every round, there is clear mutual respect. Both fighters are a credit to their upbringing and it should be cherished. Sports should embrace nice guys, those are the type of guys you want around your family when there is trouble around. They are strong but respectful and kind, which allows and motivates them to protect others, the reluctant leader types.. UFC is lucky to have some of their greatest fighters to be such role models, GSP, Fedor, and Khabib are also cut from the same cloth.

imagine an introvert and shy trying his best in the game of entertainment and spotlights

"do NOT have to be nice" show that the Makachev has amazing threshold at which he is trained to control his emotion

Islam really doesn't have to be someone he isn't. He has 5.8 million followers and people find him interesting just the way he is. His skills speak for himself. He's not necessarily boring like Beneil, Shavkat and Arman. The guys that are extremely talented but really quiet. Islam isn't that quiet and if he chooses to be so, why not. Not everyone has to be like Chael Sonnen or Conor Mcgregor. Especially being good on the mic but no championship or title defense. It's sad when you're known for being loud instead of being good.

Islam can't be a heel,dude is too nice for that. He doesn't know how to pull that off.

The truth is that fighters start off as martial artists. But they are not the same thing. Martial Artist must be focus around being humble and kind. A fighter (like Chael) can be an utter D bags and no one blinks an eye. It’s nearly expected.

Its time for dariush or poirier to get a title shot. Islam vs edwards is also an interesting matchup at 170 only if edwards remains the champ. Alex is clearly not the p4p no.1 . This ranking is BS, we already know who dominated who or who is more talented/skilled.

You know what, both Makhachev and Volkanovski impressed the hell out of me with their sportmanship, competitiveness, respect and humbleness throughout the promotion of the fight and post fight interviews. I have young kids that are training in martial arts and I point to these guys so they have someone to look up to as opposed to a Conor McGregor or a Nate Diaz who usually surrounded in controversy with their rudeness and vulgar acts and antics out of the octagon. I get it how they want to promote a fight to get views, but to try to put down somebody's race, religion or family is dishonorable and it only sells the views to mostly other like minded vulgar people like they are.

Islam is objectively a nice person with respectful old school demeanor. He will not change. Once he is gone, he will be sorely missed.

Sir Chael, if you read this pls, requesting your wisdom/view on below, After two days of coming over the reactions on UFC 284, its still surreal on how technical of a contest it was and both athletes showing their supremacy.. But i felt this, outside of extraordinary skill matching Islam, the size narrative has been the biggest driving factor and an overshadowed aspect of fans, media and fellow fighters contending that Volk is the better fighter of the two and highlight as David Goliath. Here is my question sir, when DC was dwarfed on his entire career which spanned with HWs and LHWs, skill for skill, he was never appreciated to the level of Volk. Volk infact only had height disadvantage, not the frame nor reach and he also didn't deplete losing pounds, infact he added more to this contest, regardless of the fight night weight. I felt the overdue credit for Volk belittles the efforts of the LW champion on the image portrayed , now that he is not given the ranking too!!! I ask this to seek your perspective. I have been a fan of this sport from very far away for over 15 years and this is my first ever query to you sir Chael 🙏🙏

Not Chael, but DC got beat by JJ in the lower division, twice, and finished "there is no rivalry". DC is a great fighter, but he lost the Stipe trilogy and Jones fights. Alex has had a close fight up a division against a guy who everyone said would run through him.

@@executivelifehacks6747 yes that's all true, I'm only requesting the agenda of making Volk greater considering size which is what I'm baffled about. Hoping sir Chael gives a response too. Thank you too for the comment 🙏

Islam beat the #1 and #3 P4P guys in the world back to back, these loser excuses they giving Volk means nothing. Check the win column ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾

The fighter that the UFC judges say won means nothing to me at this point. Robberies happen almost every card now. The fact is that Volk put a beating on Islam. If it was a fight to the death, Islam would no longer be with us. The fact that he had a massive size difference on Volk only further cements Volk as the p4p better fighter. You are being dishonest or delusional if you think Islam would have a chance if they fought at featherweight. Lastly, look at volks face after the fight and look at Islam's. Hugging a a guy on the ground and doing nothing with it for half the fight shouldn't win you the round.

"You don't think we don't see standing over there in your robe with your Abraham Lincoln beard", that made me belly laugh so hard it hurts! Quite possibly the best quote Chael has ever had and that's saying something cause Chael is the king of quotes. Fuxk that was funny!

Biggest heel move he could pull would be to deny the rematch and duck Volk. But that fight is worth a lot of money, surely. Hopefully he won't duck it. I think #2, should be in Russia if they can pull it off.

A lot of people have resentment toward Islam because of how dominant Khabib and himself have been for so long. The UFC does not like it when these guys from another land come into their organization and dominate.

Said perfectly. 100% agree.

Standing over there with your Abe Lincoln Beard! Lol. That was funny Chael, I liked that one.

What you feel is not what others feel chael.. and you re wrong about one thing in particular: islam has to be nice. His ppl watch him. His elders, his friends, his fans from dagestan and he would be ashamed to be too rude because of the culture.

Everyone loved the Islam line about Nate, sure. Whatever, I won’t argue. Khabib said the same thing like 3 times, and I wasn’t terribly interested then. Although it sounded cooler with the arrogant level of confidence khabib had, that Islam does not have.

When Chael said ‘Abe Lincoln beard’ I almost pissed my pants

These short rants are perfect

Uncle Chael! Uncle Chael! You forgot about his "this is good, now finally someone gonna win" comment on McGregor vs Chandler fight during his recent interview with Bret Okamoto 🤭

Agree with all of this except I genuinely don't think he's pretending to be nice.

How can Makhachev be a heel? He loves Muhammad 😂

Volkswagen needs a tune up

Islam will be better. Still has to learn. He'll come back strong.

That's some good at last but not the least ❤

This is why I like Islam. Habib is humble but Islam is even more humble😊❤

Because whether you like it or not, you have millions of highly impressionable people, including children, taking fighters as role models, especially in this day and age where masculinity is under attach, you are seen as "alpha males", especially if the fighters have children themselves, you can't seriously expect a young child to understand that it is "just the fight game", that all the heinous trash talk about fighters' families is just business, do you think Connor's 6 or 7 y.o. is watching his father thinking "this is all to sell the fight"?

😆..love it ! (And it's definitely true.) But ur missing the religion angle chael. They believe if their head gets too big/cocky, God will humble them. "I must stay humble" They are constantly fighting against their own instincts.

Islam born to be nice

I got caught off guard when you called him cute

GOAT Chael

Islam is a humble man,Khabib was humble to but had that anger when it came to connor,looked scary and savage.🇧🇩

Chael is MMAs Palpatine

It's really confusing that they set him up with interview after interview for his fights and air them on repeat. They're hands down the worst.

I love ya Chael and Diaz is beloved but no fan ever cares if someone says he's high..that's one of the reasons we like him!

Get it got it good. How's the best burger in the world review coming along? Thank you.

Islam just doesn't seem to realize that the people in the west dont like him, a Muslim in the west cannot be a fan favorite period, he simply has to be a heel. Khabib understood that, he must teach Islam to finish fights no matter what or else, next time he will lose on points, only needs one judge to listen to the crowd boos and score those slips as knockdowns..
