@alcottdevalte7440 2 роки тому

@@xinsanedefeatx Lol. 20+ of Javier's fighter's won fights the last year and went undefeated... Whittman only trains 3 fighters. I thought Weili won against Rose, and Usman had a close fight against Colby. Gaethje is on a 1 fight winning streak... It's like Floyd said "both my dad and my uncle Roger trained me (50-0), and neither one of them won a coach of the year award ever"... Too much politics...

@xinsanedefeatx 2 роки тому

@@alcottdevalte7440 and it's been proven time and time again it's harder to become and stay champ than it is to remain undefeated outside of the rankings and lower in top 15. Quality beats quantity in this, rather have 1 champ than 5 undefeated prospects. Prospects aren't proven, they're prospective champ/top fighter. A champ is a champ By that logic a coach at ATT or Sanford MMA probably has the most high level prospects in the ufc

Shamil is the lion of Dagestan, shamil is a legend and one of Abdulmanaph Nurmagomedov's first pupils, Shamil even once feed baby Khabib in his arms and stopped him from crying and Shamil was the one who first taught him his first submission before being taught by father. One time in the mountains village us kids would swim in the flood gates, very dangerous for swimming little Khabib wanting to be like big brother shamil almost drowned but Shamil saved him Even though Khabib is UFC champion Shamil will always be the real champion in the eyes of the eagle 🦅

I have major respect for coach Javier, he dosnt even include himself in the discussion for greatest coach although he clearly has major achievements in coaching champions in the UFC. Really humble and honest throughout the entire discussion, makes sense why coach Javier and Khabib work together and why the Dagestani guys have a lot of respect for coach Javier.
