His cardio is insane during Ramadan he still wrestles

2:23 "Khabib brought in five guys and wore them all out" 😳Whoa...

At one of the Muay Thai gyms I train at here in Thailand, last year there was a group of fighters from Dagestan who trained there. We trained at the same time of the day usually, so, I got to see them train 4-5 days a week for a few months. These guys were in beast mode. They had cardio forever, hit like Mack trucks, and were just scary tough. I'd look at them and wonder sometimes if they were human or not. (I'm half kidding).

Chael sonnen is genuinely super smart that's probably why he is so good at roasting people

I thought he was gona close it with " we just dont know how good conor is"

*Khabib pounds 5 guys on the floor back to back, his stamina is insane!* TMZ Sports

Tony and Khabib is the real fight

This video just makes me want Khabib vs Tony even more

Once Chael Sonnen and Superman had a competition. The loser had to wear his underwear over his pants.

Probably why Khabib and Tony get injured. They just train way too hard.

There is noone in the industry at Khabib's level right now.

Khabib's cardio is 1000x better than Conor. Fact.

Khabib is a beast, never tired

Khabib wrestles with DC, Cain Velasquez, Rockhold on regular basis & sometimes outwrestles them.

This was awesome. "You'll have not thought that 30 seconds could have ever been so long." So true. I wrestled a wrestler once in high school. I was dead out of breath in 25 seconds.

Khabib practices his trade on warriors and athletes Connor practices on old men..

I love listening to chael Sonnen. Tells entertaining stories. And is also very analytical and articulate. I’m unfamiliar with a lot of MMA terminology and techniques but Mr Sonnen always break things down so it is easy to understand.

Khabib had the same pressure on Gathje. Uncle Chael was on point!

This guy is spot on. 90% of the fight is mental and intangible.

Of interest I watched an interview of Khabib's father. When he was asked, "who is stronger"? His father seriously replied that he wasn't any weaker than Khabib and was his equal. Now I'm confident his dad has no cardio and lower speed than Khabib in most movement but it's amazing an older man like that can battle Khabib and train with him for awhile effectively. He also mentioned that he has to take it easy on younger fighters. That's pretty amazing for a guy around 60 yrs old.

Shit bro, I was lazy af after work today. After watching this I am going out for a run!

Conner will tap again

When Chael shadow boxes, he needs to use 5 different lights so his shadows can keep up.

I love your insight Chael. You’ve won me over through the years and inspired me to do better in my training and life in general. Respect.

GOAT 🐐 people talk about Khabib ground game all the time, his cardio and his chin are underrated

IM GUARENTEEING A Khabib Nurmagomedov WIN

"Send me location" Khabib!!

Chael is one of the best talkers in the game by far, looks at things of an angle that’s just unmatchable..

Tito Tapped.

WHY am I watching this in 2019?

I love this video by all means! The way you describe the work of a professional fighter is just visceral. I can feel, just by listening to you, the urge these guys have to be there and prove a point in front of the world. Thank you for this video, it was magical.

I've always respected Chael. He has a very high fight game mind ..and He backs it up in the ring himself, I'm so glad He's here adding knowledge to the fight-game-community thanks Chael. Rich.

Conor consumes alcohol which at the end of the day affects his athletic performance. Khabib on the other hand never consumed any alcohol. Khabib is a superior athlete at the end of the day. Conor can't keep up with him.

Chael, you're such a compelling story teller. Love listening to you share your views.

Its Khabib Time All the Time

Post- mcgregor vs khabib .....your comments are spot on......Mcgregor ran out of steam.....Khabib was too powerful and ....he a batshit crazy

THE BIGGEST GUNS OUT OF THE MEAN STREETS OF WEST LINN OREGON BABY!!!!

thx for your perspective on this Chael :) your views on fighters always makes me think twice about the matter/fights ; keep doing what you're doing !

This is one of those videos you come back to once awhile

how long until he takes a video while he's on the can?

What if khabib jump at Dillon danis pick him up with his feet and flew away?

Conor didn’t get tired...He quit!! How quick did he give up his back again, after turning into the panic wrestler?? The man folded under pressure in that 1

Another brilliant breakdown by Chael P. The adrenaline dump, the element of surprise, and the experience of the opponent hes facing that have done it many more times than Conor has are all major factors in contributing to the fatigue. Also getting cracked on the chin, this has a different affect on everyone depending on the individual, prepared or unprepared. For instance take a high level wrestler, 3 5 min rounds he could wrestle and grapple and dominate with normal fatigue, or no fatigue. Now factor in getting hit on the chin, the fatigue comes out of left field and the nervous system gets rattled. Like I said depending on the individual. With some its a red light, no go. Others its yellow, proceed with caution, but keep going, others its green they get fired up and its balls to the wall. Going green while very entertaining to the crowd is probably the least intelligent thing to do. These PPL usually don't have a long career.

I dont think enough people understand how wise chael is, he's mentioned things most experts haven't even thought about.

Fighting khabib is like fighting a boa constrictor that can punch you

Conor gets tired and quits, khabib gets tired and he is still coming forward.

Khabib’s cardio is insane, his style requires constant pressure.

RIP mcnuggets

Uncle Chael.... en fuego, love this

I've never seen you fight, but I am going search it soon. However, you talk like you've been a sports analyst forever. You tell great stories, obviously a pretty smart guy. Thumbs up dude.

When Chael Talks, i just sit and listen ...It has always made sense and he speaks so well...

This is why we NEED Khabib vs Tony. Every person who loves fighting knows this is the real Lightweight contest and could be the best fight ever.

Conor never fought Nick Diaz, just so we’re clear. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I fucking love this channel, great job, I actually enjoy listening/ watching

Chael is a beast at looking at both sides of each fighter and give you an honest assessment. Good work Chael

It begs the question: just how good Connor is? He does the same thing on tweeter Nobody can keep up with his tweeter pace, not too mention googling Russia’s history to make sure he wins the press conference argument Khabib can’t keep the pace with Connor on tweeter

tony Ferguson vs the eagle=greatest fight that should’ve but never happened

Thanks for the content Mr sonnen

I love listening to Chael. Seems like the guy who talks the most sense in the MMA podcast world

Just subbed this channel. Great job Chael!

Good job with your channel brother. Its growing rapidly and has become part of the conversation when it comes to MMA podcasts. Top 3 being Ariel, Joe Rogan and yours. Not bad! I remember subbing to the Oregan gangster when he only had 50 subs. And he was as he said, learning the ropes and asking people like Joe Rogan and other pod casters how to make his channel successful and what direction to take it. He's honest, admits when hes wrong and doesn't taking any of the trolling to heart and actually laughs at them.

Hello from Germany, you are a f legend, even in Germany, as khabib rises I thought, f, a chael sonnen with a bit more success. Thx for the great videos from somebody who really knows what he's talking about, sorry for my bad English, we love chael

No doubt about it this guy knows his shit...luv listening to his breakdowns...

Good points

The first two round if Connor doesn't get khabib it's over for Conor he'll will be in hell of a trouble.

There is no one who can tell a story like chael

Chael...you knocked it out of the park...very good Sir...prediction was spot on!

At the early stages of his career Pertti Ukkola, a Finnish Greco-Roman wrestling olympic gold medallist, had a training session similar to Khabib's that lasted 120 minutes as a punishment from his coach for having stayed out too late the previous night during the training camp. Ukkola won the gold medal in 1976 in Montreal and reached perhaps his peak in the 1977 European Championships in Gothenburg. He won the gold medal and went to the banquet arranged for the national teams after the Championships. The minute Ukkola stepped into the dinner venue, the whole Russian team stood up and applauded him.

Khabib could have fought conor and tony in the same night. Maybe even a gaethje in the comercial break. That's why i'm so mad at him for living. It's like a doctor who takes 10 years to reach the top of his knowledge, he becomes the best of his branch, then leaves medicine

I am watching this in 2020!! why? Just want to hear something nice and good about Khabib,.. and yeah he is a good human being as well as an awesome FIGHTER!

Alot of respect for Chael Sonnen. You are a very astute guy!!

Just when you think someone is invincible is usually when they fall.

Agree and disagree. As Eddie Alvarez said, people were making Nate out to be some monster welterweight. And he’s just not. He’s a tall thin lighweight with good boxing and a lot of losses on his record. You can’t blame mcgregor gassing out so fast in that fight on Nate being a huge guy. To compare, when Nate fought a true welterweight in Rory Macdonald, he literally got thrown on his head three times. Conor does have issues with his cardio, though he improved in the second fight with Nate and is probably still improving right now. But it will not match khabibs pace if the fight makes it into 4 and 5. I also dont agree that it’s always “intangibles” that win fights. I think that’s part of it. But Conor’s KOs in most of his fights illustrate the tangibles that he possesses, which are his ridiculous precision and timing. In terms of intangibles, I think he’s lacking, evidenced by how quickly he tapped against Nate in the first fight. I don’t know who has more of the intangibles in this fight. But I see it as a classic stylistic matchup. The guy that is able to impose his particular style on the other guy will win the fight, IMO. Khabib has been able to impose his will in every single round of every fight against every fighter is been in there with. Striker, wrestler, bjj, it doesn’t seem to matter. He’s just so dominant with his particular skill set. Conor on the other hand has struggled with several styles. Chad Mendez is a small guy, and taking the fight on short notice was still able to take conor down repeatedly, and cut him up with elbows. Khabib is a much bigger stronger guy that chad, and he won’t gas out. Conor also struggled with Nate’s boxing, and was submitted early in his career.

My OCD wants 30-0 but love and respect to Khabib- all fights with him were amazing. He’s the reason why I watched MMA when he mauled the arrogant Conor- I don’t like to watch MMA anymore but knowing that Islam and other Dagestan warriors will continue the legacy - am still gonna watch until you see Islam on top of the game ❤️💕

Chael hits the nail on the head....yet again. Would love to just sit in a room with him and talk martial arts.

Conor’s endurance was very good in the Mayweather fight. He threw over 400 punches in it. Also, I’m boxing you absorb so many punches to the shoulder/arm muscle which causes further fatigue. And like chael said, the nerves and stress/adrenaline must have been crazy for him making his debut against 49-0 all time great Floyd Mayweather in one of the very biggest combat events ever.

Ferguson and Khabib are monsters!!!

you are a good guy chael thank for your work

I like this video, great discription of Khabib

Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. Mike Tyson

Flawless tapping technique by Connor kebab. Extra spicy!!

Chael seems calmer and more analytical here than on his recent podcasts lol

I saw this when it came out and I’m rewatching it now. Far fetch but I couldn’t help but think that this is a subliminal training session that can benefit other fights including US. Chael loves the USA and he’s a slick ass dude.

Highest "Likes" rating in MMA channels, Chael is the king.

Chael is looking in some direction looking like he's talking to somebody but is actually not..which makes it kinda funny...

Chael, you’re damn good at this.

Chael’s fight selling abilities are absolutely amazing

Chael's coliflower ear is now covering his whole auditory canal. How does he hear?

Alhumdulillah, when God is on your side and mind - nothing and I mean nothing can defeat you!

Bravo! Great insight, you got yourself a subscriber

khabib turns out to be today's king and legend in the making.

Conor taps Khabib in 1 min with a twister

Didn't Dominick Cruz say he doesn't see how someone with Conor's style could fight at a pace like he does at the beginning for 5 rounds?

thank you for this very interesting point of view

Hitting nothing actually takes more energy than hitting something Chael.

lol mayweather was playing with him....that was proven tonite khabib a wrestler dropped him..and stood in front of him no fear, no respect for conners striking.

Love ur insight Chael

What a fantastic speaker Chael is
