Khabib pieced him up on the feet. He said he didn't feel threatened against Al and wanted to just try some of his boxing. God Damn

"...and that's how I nearly won a round" - Al "the blueprint" iaquinta

What most people don't understand is that Khabib also had a 1 day notice against Al. Al's also got a solid wrestling background and is tough as they come. Even if it went all 5 rounds, Khabib was really just playing with and testing his striking skills like he was sparing (in a title fight!), and still won 50-43 in all the judges scorecards. *Dominant* 5 rounds.

Al iaquinta blocked all nurmagmedove jabs by his nose man. Real gangster 😂

losing 50-43 isnt really much of a blueprint is it ?

Didnt these guys hear khabib's coach sayin "I was laughing in my head" when Ariel asked about guillotine..

I hope Al doesn’t get Cocky for going 5 rounds. Khabib chose to stand with him most of the fight. No doubt Al is a beast tho.

So are they talking about a blueprint to lose all five rounds? What sane person would want to use this blueprint?

Iaquinta is the type of guy, whichs career highlight is a loss

Khabib played with iaquinta, could have finished him in any moment, look how he went in beast mode against poirier in round 1

Iaquinta is an excellent fighter. The praise he's getting for loosing to Khabib surpasses by miles the praise he received for all his wins combined. Conclusion: Khabib is P4P #1

Never try to out wrestle Khabib or he’ll get mad and you will get choked out for real. Man, people never learn.

People Forget Khabib had his opponent changed 3 times in a week before he fought Al

I honestly think that Khabib could've got out of the choke immediately but he choose to let Dustin burn his arm out because he's that much confidant in his submission defense, he did that against RDA in 2014 as well, anything is possible in mma, but I honestly think that people would have a much much better chance to KO Khabib than getting that stubborn to submit.

Iaquinta showed the blueprint? LOOOOOOOOOOL. He lost to 50-43 50-44 50-43. Khabib just played with him. Khabib had also zero time to prepare for Iaquinta and he outboxed him on the feet and mauled him on the ground too while he was speaking to Serra and Longo at the same time.

Khabib is the GOAT

Khabib “I practice jabs and kick in a title fight against AL” Numagomedov

Can we stop saying al showed the blue print to beat khabib when he got absolutely dominated.

Als face was bloodied and bruised after that fight wtf is he on about

Khabib didn't even go for a takedown after 3rd round he was just practicing his striking on al laquinta, khabib was testing his abilities because he knew he has won the fight.

I think it was clear that khabib was just getting in mat time and could have finished al whenever he wanted to

Al gave the blueprint for how to lose 50-43 lol.

AL Iaquinta is so humble. Love for him ❤️

I think Khabib was fooling us all by saying it was close. Coach Javier said he was laughing as Khabib always came out easily from guillotine many times before. He knows the trick by moving his hips to ease out.

Tony Freguson the type of guy to introducing Bruce Buffer before the fight

Khabib is so damn good conor , Al , poirier all gonna argue who got the worst from the champ

When you interview one of the students who survived a bus accident.

I love Al. He is very honest and real. Khabib likes him so much and always respect him for that quality

We all know khabib take it easy on al. Khabib can finish al in 1st round if he wanted to.

Matt Serra is a Goat, is still in UFC bcz he is nonpartisan , unbiased and lively. Unlike , khabib hating chael sonnen and Ariel helwani. Those guys just want to see khabib lose and I love to see mud on their faces after every fight. They are the guys saying hating shit in loving way. Love you Matt. God bless you. Livelong livestrong. "Al is the real Brooklyn gangster" ~ Khabib. Shoutout to Jim Norton.

Khabib: "Al Iaquinta is real Brooklyn gangster "

Al is a stand up guy, he's so honest .

Tony Ferguson the type of guy to congratulate Al on his loss.

Tony is the type of guy to do a spinning back fist to turn off the light switch

The commentary near the beginning had me confused. I thought I missed something. I began frantically looking for videos of this guy beating Khabib. Blueprint? Yes. On how to not not not win.

I love Al IaQquinta . He is very humble..

Man, I don't understand why they keep putting Al on a pedestal where he doesn't deserve to be. Khabib simply didn't want to end the fight. If you see the fight, Khabib decided to stand up much more and when he knocked Al down, he left him in very dangerous positions, much more dangerous than Dustin was for example.

Very humble and talented guy

Al is one of my favorite fighters hands down!!! Love the guys character...🤩

Khabib is the type of the guy that practice his boxing skill in the title match.

I think dustin did better than al against khabib, at least he landed a punch and a choke, al got shitted on both stand up and on the ground for 5 rounds

Iaquinta’s wrestling is incredible. There were times where he challenging Khabib with his wrestling. Iaquinta is a true beast.

It's khabib time.

Much respect for Al

Al talking some real shit! Good analysis my friend💪🏼

So lasting full rounds with khabib makes u unbelievable

Nobody can discuss khabib i said it 10 years ago he s the law n we ve got to respect the law that s it

Al laquinta had Matt Serra on his corner and Al listened ...that was the game changer .

Real Brooklyn gangster

Khabib Nurmagomedov. A name you’ll never forget. You’ll either have thoughts of uplifting inspiration and joy, or pure reoccurring nightmares.

Al is terrible lol. Getting beat up for 5 rounds because Khabib wanted to doesn’t make you a world beater 😂.

It's a testament to how good Khabib is that this guy has had multiple long interviews about managing to only receive a non-humiliating beating.

Go back and watch their fight… Al could have been choked out at least three different times that I saw but for some reason Khabib didn’t go for it.

This just shows how good khabib is. It’s a competition of who can last the longest against him.

He wanted it to go 5 rounds ...Al’s eyes were almost both shut.

Khabib said he could have finished Al but he wanted to fight all 5 rounds, so basicaly he practiced his striking on a championship title, what a fucking Gangster !

Laquinta is real Brooklyn Gangsta 😂🦅

People are gonna give khabib the respect he deserves after he retires undefeated......

Matt Serra needs to tell al iquinta to use foot work and to not get hit by uppercuts and teap kicks and to straight hit

Super underrated fighter, Al did actually give khabib the best fight he’s had on short notice, but I won’t hold my breath for UFC recognition. Keep your head up Al, you’re a beast

Al iaquinta without preparation gone whole 5 round khabib couldn't finish him that's real gansta

Maaaad respect for Al 💪🏻 I'm a Khabib SUPERfan and I really really like Al

Lol I thought al was wearing a shirt with his name and rank written on it

Khabib let him survive because he stepped in, respect ✊🏻

Just cut the crap! Khabib is just 2 gud

Al is a likeable person. Honest and straight up

Matt Serra sounds like Eddie bravo with an jersey accent

Al didn't show a blueprint, he showed that he's underrated and one of the toughest guys in division.

Al fought to survive against Khabib, Conor and Dustin fought to win. Big difference in my opinion

al did exceptionally well, going the distance with khabib , is an a+, and rare.

Khabib was just playing around with AL Iaquinta watch the fight gave Al planty of chance to nock him out i think

Khabib’s head pressure and stamina are still not talked about enough. He wears people out and does what he wants. If khabib got hurt he sure didn’t show it. He looked fresh as a daisy after the fight. Big props to Al and he deserves a rematch way more than Connor.

"No shit, that's what he does." I'm from LI and I can tell you that's such a typical LI comment.

respect to AL for keeping it real

the stephen thompson fighting stephen thompson commerical is hilarious to me. dillashaw lowkey sad :(

Dustin was waiting on the level Change and reacting to khabib before he even went from it.khabib instills fear crazy just watching it unfold

Khabib is dominant in every fight. Totally on a different level from his opponents, and is respectful to his opponents (except that 1 guy). It's unlikely that he will be beaten. He's so good.... I don't get excited for his fights anymore, it's more like a formality than a challenge. Tyson and Mayweather (Boxing),Hamilton and Schumacher (F1 Racing), Valentino Rossi (MotoGP) Demitrious, GSP, Silva... after a while you just expect them to dominate every single time. As a fan, I'd love to see Khabib challenged by something new. Like moving up in weight and challenging bigger/other guys. He wants to add to his legacy... challenging himself will do that. Fight GSP at 170. Not 155. Guys dropping weight later in their careers/getting up in age usually don't do as well as they used to do in their actual weightclass. Beating a depleted and smaller GSP at 155 isn't a true legacy achievement In my opinion. (Hyperbolic) example: Cejudo would beat Stipe at 125. Because Stipe wouldn't survive the weightcut, if he somehow does, he will be weak. But first... Tony.

Lots of respect to that kid! Mat Serra too. Great fighters good human being

Matt Serra joining rumble at heavyweight I see

Al still reliving the glory days of losing all 5 rounds against Khabib.

"Khabib played with Al" **Only lands jabs for three rounds** 😂

Khabib has become a mythical creature, a living legend of sorts.

👊Khabib Beat the Devil out of Poirier and Iaquinta

Al is still a beast. Dude took the fight in super short notice. Not prepared for a grappler and still held strong for 5 rounds . So mad respect.... But there was no blueprint.

Anyone found that Conor vs Khabib has been removed by UFC 🙋🏼‍♂️

respect to matt serra for being very cautious about interrupting al , unlike these other podcasters . Funny how hes the type of guy ud expect to interrupt others constantly

tony is the type of guy who got knocked down and asks "are u okay?" to his opponent

He never said he wasn't prepared at all... He literally said he was as prepared as he could've been, that he put everything into this camp and was fully ready & had no excuses.

Yaquinta is real brooklyn gangster 😎

Khabib is awesome.

Well, Al's done the best so far id say. That is until Khabib fights Tony. Tony is a puzzle that Khabib and Tony himself cant solve.

When you fight khabib, even lasting the duration of the fight is a monumental feat.

😎Henry cejudo Tony Ferguson Brian Ortega Tito Ortiz Cain Velasquez Gilbert Melendez Dominick Cruz Kelvin Gastelum yair Rodriguez Mexico baby

Al Iaquinta and Dustin Poirier are my favourite fighters after Khabib in the lightweight division.

It's not like khabib trained for Al tho lol

So many discussion, everywhere discussions, so much of the discussions, one man that everyone wants to be beaten by someone. The mighty Khabib still the undefeated king of the business. Khabib indeed the Legend of the UFC history ever. My salute to this great Champ!

Al making a name of himself by losing and getting used as target practice by khabib. So overrated his only credible win is against a 155 masvidal and kevin lee 2x depending on if you think lee is trash or not and honestly masvidal loses alot so even that win is average

One thing Matt and Al both have is that humble mind, they are like the older and younger versions of themselves. Both respect hard fucking work and if someone beat them it just means they worked harder and that's something you can take to the gym the next day. Love these kind of warriors man, and that same respect they showing to Khabib and them, all comes right back at them. In a perfect world, Al would've been conor and then fought with a full camp against Khabib which would've made for a more even and super insane batter but... This is the universe we live in.

Khabib the type of guy to maul Fony Ferguson all 5 rounds and make him quit ufc...

Al, is true gangster for going in their and facing khabib and taking all 5 rounds
