Brian J. Roberts | 9 Riveting Minutes With UFC GOAT Khabib Nurmagomedov | Interview @BrianJRoberts | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Khabib Nurmagomedov opens up in this riveting 9 minute interview that proves he just may be the UFC GOAT. Khabib told me about the pressure he felt fighting Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier, Justin Gaethje, and what it takes to become a champion. We also discussed the death of Khabib's dad, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, and I heard Khabib's advice on family, faith, fatherhood, and his journey fighting for the UFC.
00:00:27 Joining the UFC and his goal for Eagle FC
00:01:20 What it's like fighting on a stacked card
00:01:53 "You can't buy experience.."
00:02:10 Khabib vs. Conor, vs. Poirier and vs. Gaethje
00:02:37 "Champions fight best under pressure.."
00:03:44 "You have to sacrifice everything.."
00:05:03 "Stay focused or leave this alone.."
00:05:25 Khabib on his dad, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov
00:06:04 The importance of parents and fathers
00:07:26 Khabib on religion and his faith
This was a serious, deep interview–and I'm grateful to Khabib and his team for facilitating it. Did you enjoy this Khabib interview? Was it on par with his ESPN interview and others? Let me know if you enjoyed it in the comments, and if you'd like me to cover more MMA news or share more Khabib advice or UFC news in the future.
Special thanks to my team, Tim T. (audio) and Nick Vespe (camera operator).
