Young men are lost without a father. Nice to see that he found strength and purpose through martial arts.

His body kicks are terrifying. Some of the hardest hitting shots I've ever heard.

Definitely feel like Khalil's moment is still coming. Real potential. Love his Muay Thai style too!

The way he attacks harder and harder the weaker his opponent becomes… scary fighter man. And what an awesome dude.

This really is an admirable story of success, when you consider where he was as a teenager, and how he progressed so quickly in the sport. And if you consider these factors (determination, grit, perseverance, hard as nails performances, etc.), I feel that this guy has the potential to be in the top 5 of the LHW division. and maybe even challenge for the belt some day.

As someone who suffers a lot from depression Khalil story really touches me. Thank you for inspiring us young fighters

I love Khalils unique choice of attacks, such as kicking an opponent in the ribs while he is in turtle guard. To be honest I have no idea why more fighters don't do it. It gives him the advantage of remaining on his feet, opposed to trying to secure the back, which can sometimes be trouble when someone is in turtle guard.
