Media This mf Islam Makachev is unhinged

Islam is likely joking.

However, you best bet that if Makhachev or Khabib had the skills to even compete with Burroughs in pure Wrestling they would have never come to MMA, they would be competing at the Olympics, on either the Russian team or one of the other countries that give citizenship to the B team Dagestanis. Khabib and Islam are on the practice squad compared to other Dagestanis. So, for sure he is joking.

As for MMA, of course Islam would easily finish Burroughs. It's a whole different game. Even if Burroughs gets a double leg, he's toast on the ground. Ever worse if Islam gets him on his back. Not to mention that getting your block punched, your stomach kneed, and your legs kicked takes away all motivation to wrestle.
 
nah Islam is a lot less "Islamic" than Khabib dude was joking around with girls in AKA that seemed slight flirting and his overall demeanor is a lot more jovial meanwhile Khabib keeps his eyes straight never does any small talk with girls or some shit and is a lot more hardliner in his takes overall
Khabib types have skeletons in their closet.
 
It depends on the weight honestly
Nah. MMA wrestling is super difficult. Too much to worry about like the you can't be in super low wrestling stances, the cage limits your movement, and you're getting hit. Plus Khabib and Islam have an atypical approach to mma wrestling, so it is even more difficult.

J.B. is a phenomenal wrestler but in mma there are definitely a good amount of guys who could take him down despite being much worse wrestlers.

Khabib small talks and trains with women at AKA. AKA doesn't have a lot of women and Khabib mostly keeps to his own crew but Khabib does interact with them. He's married with multiple kids so I'd hope he isn’t flirting lol.

Khabib is a crazy jokester according to a lot of his teammates. DC said he used to be super shy when he first got to AKA. He might just be one of those socially awkward types
 
I actually find him several times more likeable than Khabib, seems like a nice guy, doesn't get into stupid out of the cage scraps, no trash talking etc..

that's because his personality is more chill. you can see Khabib has been wound up his whole life and everything about him is serious, but i also find Khabib's dry humor to be funny too. like when he told that guy to get a dog because he's too old to learn how to fight Jorge Masvidal lmao
 
What's Jordan Burroughs gonna do to Islam in the cage? Double leg him and push him into the cage? Lol.
Islam would maul him on the ground. In a wrestling match sure, Burroughs can double leg him a few times out of bounds, in the cage Islam gets on top of him and does whatever he wants

Bruh Islam will probably Triangle or Armbar him in like 2 minutes.
 
What? He was in that brawl with Mcgregor at 229.

And Khabib being a crazy mofo is what made him likeable.


Only in spirit. Lol. He ran and helped when Khabib was in the crowd which could be potentially very dangerous. It'd have been lame if he DIDN'T come to his aid.

Not like he jumped on Conor or really did anything crazy.

Also, I think that's the only incident he's ever had, he didn't start it, and didn't cross any lines during it.



Islam is a Patron Saint.
