Umar may have kinda missed the question on benefits of Ramadan because of the language barrier. But I definitely believe not only Ramadan leads to a cleanse but I think training like Team Eagle's fighter during Ramadan must only build more endurance than someone who may not part take in intermittent fasting including break from water and decipline on water intake (which is crucial during weight cutting)
That family is incredible but I will push back on the discipline some, you yourself said Josh that Islams nutrition needs to get work and Tiramisu of course too lol. Love the pod, #andstill
Did anyone noticed how all of the top 15 bantamweight immediately signed contract to fight each other one week after umar nurmagomedov destroyed his last opponent and called all of them out to stop running from him?
It seems like They are really scared!!!
-Like yan vs merab even tho they were pretty vocal for a long time they didn't want to fight each other because they had no respect for one a nother.
That was one of the reasons if not the First reason yan decided to fight unranked O'Malley even tho merab was the only guy in top 5 who was available and had no fights.
-Jack shore signed a fight yesterday against a unranked nobady.
-Pedro munhoz accepte a fight with chris Gutierrez who is even ranked 12 which is lower than umar.
-Ricky semon took the yadong song fight 3 days ago
-Rob font took the n13 ranked Adrian yenez fight
And all those fights got signed Coincidentally 1 week and a few days after umar killed his last opponent and called out the whole devision.
The only people available now are.
Cruz n7
Said n14
Umar ♥️ sweetheart in life killer in the octagon 🥶
Yan is probably better. Merab looks like a creation of epo
Umar v Said… That would be nuts.
I hope it never happens.
Thank you guys for inviting him, please invite Usman and Islam next!
Good thing they got that killer in Alhambra with the beard that was crazy shit
The margin of error is alot less for light hw tho cuz it's alot easier to get kod
Love how he learned english this fast and impressive nice to have a mini khabib that has this style aswell as his cousins
Nah alexander shabliy has the exact same style of fighting even before he started training at ATT, his style didn't change when he started training there thats not true, if anything his style of fighting is very semilar to tofiq himself actually.
You can tell he got some mongol blood in him just looking at his face..
Can someone replace the battery in their damn smoke detector?!
Yan is too much of a fighter to be done if he loses this fight. Man is an animal and needs to be in the ring, plus his fights are exciting because he actually fights
Crazy interesting interview! Umar is going to be the next superstar from Khabib’s team! Humble and very very smart ! Also English improved!
Best interview Umar Nurmagomedov
Why is Josh constantly sick and or tired. If he isn’t yawning he is coughing and sneezing. 😅 Take those glasses off… you ain’t Chael
I'm going say it. I mostly root for the Russian Fighters Out of cabib father's camp the respectful they kick your a** giraffes and they go about their business professionally Out of cabib father's camp the respectful they kick your a** giraffes and they go about their business professionally. I'm sick and tired of McGregor Diez Bros. And all the mouthy fighters they have. Be professional about your work and disciplined and be the best that you can be. The rest is a d*** bore
Nice interview. You should get Habib, DC and Velasquez together in the same interview.
Umar knows he needs to fight up at 145 lbs & 135 to get fights now days.
So tell him to quit complaining and take 145 lbs fights in the meantime until a 135 fight becomes available
Fantastic episode!!!👏🏻👏🏻 thank you for your work guys!!
Thank you so much Jon and Josh,
to bring Umar that was great episode
Umar next champ 🦅🦅🦅
Umar next champ 🦅🦅🦅
umar kind of looks like javier mendez
Yeah I’m not going over to another website for other content. Youtube and Spotify for me is enough
the most complete fighter in UFC Umar🔥🔥🔥
Josh is right about little guys not getting credit and recognition
Charles Olivera had 10 out of his 11 fight win streak end in a finish. 3 being incredibly exciting title fights
If a 205 or HW had that sorta run we would never heard the end of it.
Please get Mike Swick on the podcast. It could rekindle his own podcast.
Good job guys
Josh, I respect you about being up front and honest about your bias. Then you. Remember, jj beat a 2 division champ in your friend DC. Also, made him look like a rag doll. Dass something, no?
Lol @ Bellator's event of Yan vs Dvalishvili
Also I love how we stopped mentioning zkhabin, no1 is mentioning him as goat 🐐 over the past hear, even Josh. Most ppl can't name 5 ppl that he fought, he got a chip vs my real estate agent and he fought his first fights at best of 3, where a third round was nixed in Russia. He is fool's gold. Happy even zjosh is abstaining from him. You are measured by your competition, and the best Lightweight if all time is Dustin. Look at his resume, only fought all timers. He had wars, not playground tag. Islam and Charles can both make a case, depending on where their careers go. Islam still has to fight a few real opponents and Charles has to come back yet again and prove he wasn't a flash in the pan.
Your OnlyFans better have Big John spreading those cheeks 😍
Please more dagestani fighters please my brother josh
You can’t say you’re unbiased when you’re doing stuff like this.
BEST Youtube cast in a while. No talking about personal vacations for an hour, just right into it. …… Thanks guys. And Big UPs to Johns dye job on his hair. ….. Looking 20's something dark….. Josh STILL looking like Kareem Abdul Jabbar and a frog had a kid……
How you can sleep when you know somebody train more than you.
Its deep.
Umar is humble but regarding Ramadan: (1) there is cleansing but (2) lack of water means salt imbalances (3) biggest change that is harder to deal with is schedule. Fajr is 3-4am and have to eat before, but if breaking fast 8pm you dont feel hungry plus with prayers sleep schedule is tough
I really love watching Umar fight, dude kicks like a tae kwon do competitor and it’s so cool dude is getting better in English. I hope the ufc has a 1 mandatory fight clause some day so people like Umar has a better shot at moving up in their career.
The butchering of the names on this podcast is priceless…
At times Umar sounds like Khabib! They all simple minded people and love their brotherhood!
Young Eagle 🦅
You can def see how frustrated Umar is.
awesome..
umar improved his english a lot and aven try to speak in some podcasts. it also helps his english
hopefully, Rakhmonov will learn english seriosly
Umar English skills has improved a lot
