One word describe khabib "RESPECT"
How do you not love him for this.. so much respect
It takes a legend to know a legend. Two fighters that are in my book the greatest MMA fighters of all time.
I love how he says GSP has nothing to prove, he's the greatest of all time and GSP says the exact same thing about Khabib
what a humble and self aware champion!! Can't imagine a more respectful answer to a very difficult question. Two great HOF fighters that are two class acts.
Absolute class. GSP is also class. Both, proper pros.
Both these guys are true fighters, they dont need to trash talk other fighters to intimidate their opponents.... they both show their dominance by their skills ,not words..major respect to both of them
The dreamfight of abdulmanap. I hope the fight will happen to honour khabibs father
Khabib's thoughts on this stuff is always gold. Always.
Khabib 100 percent keeping it real. Exactly why would or should he come back? Acknowledge it’s a dream fight, acknowledge the respect, and pretty much called the man the goat. Wanting that over conor for his legacy. But at the same time happy to not have it at all. Real recognises real

I doubt that, it would certainly be the most anticipated, but it probably wouldn't sell the most. I don't like McGregor, but his name recognition drives non-MMA fant to want to buy the ppv. But non-MMA fans don't know who GSP is and they only know Khabib as the guy who wrecked Conor.
That's what respect sounds like
Both are monsters with the take down and being humble, and when pushed they both will perform. That's what MMA should be and not this cutting up and getting personal.

Yeah, but a Non-Title, or "Super Fight" as they call it, could very well happen. Remember just a few years ago Diaz vs McGregor? Well that was a Non-Title (Super Fight). People wanted to see it so Mr. Dana made it happen, & they weren't even in the same weight class. So if people wanna see a fight & it's very popular.. Boss man makes that shit happen every single time. It's what fights will sale the most. And a Khabib vs GSP Fight would absolutely sale the most, (off the charts). That's a HUGE Fuckin Fight.. Like this is a Legend vs an up & coming Legend. And as for the weight classes, Khabib coming up to 170 is no problem for him because Khabib's natural weight is already 170 to 180.. & GSP's natural weight is 180-190. George already said this would be something he is very interested in, because it would firmly help secure his Legacy as being The Greatest UFC Fighter of All Time, [Easily]. So until that day, I'll just be sittin' in my bedroom preying for this fight to go down. Please Baby Jesus! Let's see this shit! woiiiioiiokokooooooooo!!!!!-------!!!
