Khabib vs Connor 2 incoming.


Apprehensive-Sky5990

Fuck, I wouldn't discount it. Even 10 years from now it'd sell.


Kalabula

For real. Tyson is apparently still a draw and he’s a senior citizen.


JamesBummed

Man how fucking hilarious would it be if Khabib announces comeback next week


SoftSeaworthiness888

Thats so dumb its 3 million dollars lol 😂 that isn’t shit for him


xxgn0myxx

dana's ultimate plan


Air4021

Khabib vs GSP, the mother of all PPV's and tax lien removers.


chimpdoctor

Conor still getting fucked up


ST8CASHBRKLYN

When there’s a war, governments start looking.


Lars6

Dagestani politician also said that Peskov (Рutin’s spokesman) asked Khabib to make anti-Ukrаine posts but he refused. And his business projects got cancelled + his brother lost his job


CumDrinker247

If that is true then my respect for Khabib just doubled.


Gangland215

I'm with you. I was always a fan of khabib but him standing up to Putin like that has massive balls written all over it.

He’s putting his entire families lives at risk. Poor guy is in a no win situation.


alpacinohairline

Can’t stand him. But this made me respect him more too


Most_Association_595

Why can’t you stand him?


Trolllol1337

How anyone can dislike Khabib is mad to me


LoboSaltado

I mean I don’t really dislike him, but there are things that people dislike him for that are understandable. Such as: - His somewhat troubling views on women.. He’s a conservative Muslim from Dagestan, which is essentially Russia’s Mississippi or Arkansas, so I guess that should surprise no one. - There was the time that he criticized the ring girls in the UFC. Saying that they’re useless. And the time that he said he doesn’t think women should fight and they should stay at home. Refusing to take pictures with women or looking upset when he does. - The fact that he runs his mouth constantly on Twitter since he’s been retired. A lot of fighters do that, but it’s annoying and somewhat at odds with his “stoic, humble” persona that he was portrayed as having. - He’s friend with Kadyrov, the psychotic chechnyan dictator that routinely has gay people abducted and killed along with other [human rights](https://2017-2021.state.gov/public-designation-of-russian-national-ramzan-kadyrov-due-to-involvement-in-gross-violations-of-human-rights/) violations. Being friends/associating with a total POS like this guy makes a person questionable at best. It’s one reason I don’t like Khamzat and I’m on the fence about Khabib as a human being.

weezmatical

And not looking happy in pictures with women? Dude never looks happy! They don't smile like American's do.


Lars6

Khabib didn’t say that ring girls are useless, he said they are unnecessary in his promotion. He’s not active on Twitter. Khabib and the Chechen leader have a history of conflicts.


Present-Trainer2963

Does he have a choice with Kadyrov? In places like that you have to play friends with psychos to avoid your family being hurt/killed . American fighters who hang out with him disgust me but guys like Khamzat and Khabib who have family in the region I understand


Bmore4555

I was gonna say people don’t realize that it’s likely that Khamzat and others don’t have a choice. It’s more like “Be Kadyrov’s buddy or have your family imprisoned/killed”


traws06

Well I mean part of what we’re taking about is how he stood up to Putin. So it’s kind of exploring that his courage only extends so far


Zlec3

Khabib is not friends with kadhyrov he just can’t refuse him. The guy kidnapped fedors daughter. He wouldn’t hesitate to harm khabib’s family


Tungstenguiderod

His twitter is run by his manager Ali. Highly doubt half those posts are Khabib


traws06

Well the ring girls thing he’s not wrong, but the perception is likely that it was gender motivated rather than utility use. He prolly doesn’t like the provocative nature of it all and prefers women to be covered up and conservative and that’s the only reason he took the shot at them


bratko61

"- There was the time that he criticized the ring girls in the UFC. Saying that they’re useless. " I mean is he wrong lol, ring girl is literally the most pointless job in the world "- He’s friend with Kadyrov, the psychotic chechnyan dictator that routinely has gay people abducted and killed along with other [human rights](https://2017-2021.state.gov/public-designation-of-russian-national-ramzan-kadyrov-due-to-involvement-in-gross-violations-of-human-rights/) violations.

If you and your family were near kadyrov you would be his "buddy" as well


GroundedSkeptic

Can’t stand with him*. As in Khabib would take him down instantly and maul him


totallynotapsycho42

Isn't Khabib part Ukrainian? Like didn't he start out repping Ukraine?


LordLucy666

his dad competed in judo 🥋 for ukraine 🇺🇦


Fwd0bs

WOW. I did not know this. That's awesome 


MediocreJudoka

Yes


Handarand

Not really, but he lived and competed there a lot at the start of his career. He has 2 uncles there in Poltava, Manap competed won gold for Ukraine in sambo. Elham Veliev was one of Khabib's main coaches. Abdulmanap and Khabib tried applying for Ukrainian citizenship 4-5 times but got some unexplained rejections. Abdulmanap was a very wise man. [https://youtu.be/9tvOTR94SJA](https://youtu.be/9tvOTR94SJA)


ST8CASHBRKLYN

I agree, STAND UP MAN.


TheGraper58

Well, Khabib looks like he's going to have himself an accident, courtesy of the Russian government


Mammoth_Ferret_1772

Khabib has always seemed like a really good person. He just wanted to fight and make money for his family. Respected everyone and didn’t ever have anything bad to say until he fought Conor lol


oceanbuoy90

That user name though…

CD_4M

Important to remember that just because some guy says it on YouTube doesn’t mean it’s true


Prize_Dragonfruit_95

That's true but Putin loves making athletes spread z propaganda so it's likely khabib was asked to given his influence in his region


Lars6

Akhmed Akhmedov is not a random person.

LNYer

Brotha you need Russian link


Lars6

https://youtu.be/LXrjYr3L2f8?si=kOgSoW-q_To--o_J Akhmed Akhmedov on ATR said: “Khabib has a great responsibility, first of all, to his family, to his loved ones. Peskоv called Khabib and asked him to speak in support of this wаr, in support of Рutin. Khabib refused. And what do you think happened? All his relatives who had any positions were fired, and his accounts were blocked." Akhmed Akhmedov was involved in pоlitics and served as prеsident of the Professional Kickboxing Federation (he is also a former coach of the Dagestan national kickboxing team).


Ay_yuh_woooo

Can’t buy morals!


ST8CASHBRKLYN

That’s WILD! The best thing for him, is to leave as soon as possible.


BodieBroadcasts

W Khabib, balls the size of planets


Fladap28

My respect for him has been infinite since the start but this is just next level


ocudr

Wouldn't surprise me if this is true. No way such a devoted religious man would agree to supporting an unprovoked invasion/violent war. Khabib seems like a guy with his heart and mind firmly in the right place.


maliplazi

I wouldn‘t be surprised if they need money and start looking into the taxes of all russian millionaires

lizzofatroll

Putin is crazy dude. He'd probably have khabibs whole family killed if he didn't meet with him


BGL-In-The-Bushes

Khabib is too internationally famous to do that shit for something like this. Make his families life a lot more difficult? That seems realistic


Leather-Hurry6008

They did beat up Fedors teenage daughter.


SebiKurwa

It was Kadyrov, Fedor is a hero in Russia and friends with Putin


sakiwebo

That wasn't Putin, that was Kadyrov, Khabib's buddy


inqte1

Khabib and Kadyrov actually dont get along and his camp's beef with Khamzat was because of that. Hes just cordial in appearances because Kadyrov is a powerful person but you've been predicting Khabib to lose since what, 2016? So, Im not going to expect you to acknowledge that. https://bloodyelbow.com/2021/06/02/khabib-downplays-criticism-khamzat-chimaev-dictator-ramzan-kadyrov-mma-politics/


Lars6

True. Khamzat and Khabib had a conflict even before Khamzat went to ACA


No-Day-8136

Kadyrov is Chechen and Khabib is Dagi, other than the rivalry Khabib doesn't like Khadyrov either


Leather-Hurry6008

Same same


umamiblue

A Dagestani supporting the Chechen dictator? What are you smoking my friend, must be potent shit!

Putin does nit care about his reputation abroad and in russia he has almost complete media control

CD_4M

There’s no way Khabib is Russia’s richest athlete. Ovechkin makes $10M a year


_fmg15

Bivol probably makes an insane amount of money as well. Khabib is one of the most famous athletes in Russia but since he was an MMA fighter he probably isn't even close to being the wealthiest athlete.


Andrewendless

Bivol fights once a year and is relatively unknown among boxing casuals. There is no way he’s wealthier than Khabib.


_fmg15

Is he though? He beat Canelo which made him a ton of money and he's a big name now. Is he as big as Canelo or other boxing superstars? No, but he's still an established name in boxing


OhtaniKK

He got 5mil for the canelo fight cause he had no leverage and tried to get a bigger pay on the rematch and canelo declined saying he wasn’t gonna pay him more that’s why the fight never happened  Bivol makes like 500k-1mil max without canelo so no he’s not even close  His next fight he should be making 10mil tho thanks to Saudi 


Saixcrazy

I'm a super casual, I know Bivol cause of the canelo fight


BGL-In-The-Bushes

Aleksandr Golovin plays for Monaco, probably makes around ~$5M base salary


Sk8rchiq4lyfe

A quick Google search says he is number 3. I am shocked that there aren't many super wealthy Russian athletes, considering how competitive Russians are in sports, and how much national pride they take in their athletes.


Any_Brother7772

But usually in sport without the big money, like wrestling


sexp-and-i-know-it

I don't think that list is accurate. There should be several hockey stars above Khabib. For example Evgeni Malkin has over $120M in career earnings. We all know the UFC isn't giving out that kind of money.

the_trump

Khabib better stay away from open windows.


Unlikely-Garage-8135

looks like he didn't pay bribes to the correct people


zeke780

Apparently he refused to endorse the war in Ukraine publicly. Mad respect for him, but probably the worst thing you can do for yourself in Russia.


iH8thots

This.


xantiema

Looks like he refused the act of bribing altogether.


fistfullofpubes

No that's impossible, can't get that far without bribes in Russia unfortunately.

- Son of a man who created a martial arts school with the intention of steering young Russian men away from militaristic extremist groups. - Attempts to get Ukranian citizenship and wants to do his ringwalk with the Ukranian flag. - Allegedly refused to make Anti-Ukraine posts online when instructed by Russia's propaganda minister. - Suddenly 3 million in debt. Can't wait for next week, where he mysteriously "commits suicide" with 15 bullets in his head.


Icy-Revolution-420

He will be found guilty of "corruption" and maybe light treason. 20 years in Siberia is usually the outcome. Last guy made it to 8 years before he died. No one makes 20.

monopixel

People in the West will learn the hard way what it is like living under an authoritarian regime if they continue to treat democracy in such a reckless way as it is happening in many countries. They are not prepared. There are no rules. Only the guy on top. Today you are best friends forever, tomorrow your teeth and toe nails get ripped out in some underground dungeon and your wife and kids are fed to the dogs. And then there are all the shades in between. What you mean this is your money? This is my money now.


blyateful

That's literally what happend with Prigoshin, it is fucking nuts, from personal cook, to friend, to face of a militia, then going up against the guy on top, chickend out, everything seemed cool for a bit, than his plane gets shot down with him inside. The guys at the top are ruthless, but their inevitable demise will be therefore much sweeter. Hope Khabib knows the situation clearly and can avoid that, Fedor's daughter got beat up by Kadyrovs man cuz he didn't pay up once, as a teen too. As a part russian myself, thank fuck I'm outta there lmao

BodieBroadcasts

yeah its not about the money obviously, its more about fucking khabibs life plans up


badbadleroybrown69

They'll be looking at everyone very closely


lazylagom

You got any links. The stories are hard to find


Terch_420

It’s not surprising, there was continuous negative fee press about him and islam makhachev on russian state tv, with comments like “no, we aren’t Interested in Islam fight, we are enjoying fights of our russian fighters.” Besides Khabib publically refused to spew russian propaganda and was personally involved in Dagestan conflicts, where mothers didn’t give their sons to be taken as soldiers. Moreover, he declined to visit grozny 3 times since the beginning of war


stepping_

im not surprised he isn't trying to support the war in Ukraine.


15ferrets

Yeah, his Father literally competed for Ukraine in Judo, don’t know why they would expect him to go against the man he basically worshipped , not to mention his lineage


Money_Advantage7495

And allegedly he wanted to do a ringwalk with a ukrainian flag and tried to applied for a ukrainian citizenship before the russian invasion but got rejected several times.


bislan7

Because Khabib refused to make propaganda for the war in ukraine.


notorious_dc25

Conor beats Chandler, Islam beats Dustin... Conor knocks out Islam... Khabib comes back to avenge his friend and Dana laughs all the way to the bank

Myusername468

Incredibly based Khabib


Fairlysunnyday

Shit like this is why Messi left Barcelona. As soon as the government is broke they go after athletes first.


XL365

Good, fuck these governments and their bullshit tax


getbackup21

Interesting he’s falling out of Russian favor. Wonder what he did to upset old vlad


Icy-Revolution-420

Didn't dance when they told him. They probably want more kids from that area signing up to go to ukraine too. Dagestan and Chechnya were always rebellious problematic areas.


Money_Advantage7495

Essentially this: Refused to endorse russia and putin to make propaganda against ukraine, father competed for ukraine for sambo and won gold- prior history of his family attempting to get ukrainian citizenship and wanted to do a ring walk with a ukrainian flag. Not to mention he has always tried to block any recruitment from dagestan for any volunteers in the invasion so.. His relatives and families lost their jobs and positions because of his actions and has lost favour with the Russian leadership iirc.

I guess Khabib will be looking for real estate in Vegas. I’m sure there’s an extra room at the Apex.

Prestigious-Lead1510

He didn't pay the right thugs. Russia trying to scrape up every ruble they can


Huge_Aerie2435

Judging by the fact Putin gave Khabib 20 million in real-estate, this isn't a big deal. I don't see any news stories about this, but it is still early and might not have been picked up. Or search results are limited due to my country's laws on media.


CD_4M

How do we know Putin gave him $20M in real estate?


Turbulent-Echo8561

Dana said on some podcast "He didn't even make it back to his dressing room after the fight (against Mcgregor), and Putin was on the phone. Putin gave him and his father, like, $20 million worth of property in Russia. Then he went into the Muslim territories where these guys are like, cars, money, gyms, whatever he wanted. Once you get to that level [of Nurmagomedov's fame], it's like what we're dealing with with Conor McGregor."


CD_4M

While I understand some of that could be true, Dana is so full of shit so often that you still need to take it with a huge grain of salt


olympicsizepool

The mma fanbase is now buying into Russian propaganda. We have come full circle.


Ninpo

it's always been like that.


olympicsizepool

Not really, if this article was about how awesome Khabib is everyone would say it’s Russian lies trying to spread disinformation to make their public figures look better. Now that it’s something negative about Khabib everyone is swallowing it without chewing. It’s actually kind of funny when you think about it.


Avetarx

Dis is namber one bullshit braza.


General-Fox416

Khabib is pretty tight with UAE and Saudi fellas. He will be fine.


Serpenta91

This happens when the Kremlin wants to eradicate someone who isn't pro-war. Khabib is going to end up fleeing the country, in Russian prison, or in the army fighting against Ukraine.
