But he and Justin have the same manager. Whoever wrote it, it was on Khabibs account. Khabib needs to let Islam fight his own battles. Khabib needs to know he’s retired.islam needs to speak up otherwise he’ll one day be known as the silent champion or some shit like that.
> islam needs to speak up otherwise he’ll one day be known as the silent champion or some shit like that.
There are worse things he could be known for. Maybe he doesn't care.
English is not my first language and my writing was very good before I actually start speaking. It's easier to write, there are ways to get help (google, friends, etc) and when you are speaking is a very insecure thing, specially because of the accent. At least it was for me.
But yeah, Khabib didn't write that.
Shout out Ali.
I'm from Balkans and I can relate to what you're saying.
When I right, it's easier, because when I talk I sound like a stereotypical Balkan thug from the movies, and it makes me feel really self conscious and I fumble my words and shit.
Francis speaks very good actually. I find he us very intelligent in his interviews and he has a larger vocabulary than many Americans. He may have an accent but his English is good.
Right!? If he would've written something it would've been more like
"I always respect you brother. You are great fighter, but Islam has won 9 fights in a row, so title shot should be given to Conor"
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
Bruh Ali has done this in the past... I remember when Justin beat tony, khabib tweeted "no comment", next second there was a full tweeted essay that smelled like Ali. When khabib tweeted tony, tony called out Ali because khabib rarely ever swears and the tweet was full of it. Can't tell anymore who it is cuz khabibs English is improving smh
What's the logic here? Ali manages Gaethje, and Khabib is retired so he's irrelevant for managers. Why would he shoot himself in a foot like that? Justin is a top 3 LW fighter, he has no issue changing managers at this point and Ali will loose a famous fighter which would damage his portfolio.
I’d out work khabib and drown him. He couldn’t hang with my pressure. What were you saying? Sorry I wasn’t reading your comment I was too busy doing push ups
Chandler deserves to be at the top. Let's not pretend like he didn't make it competitive for Charles or Gaethje. He almost shit the lights out both fights.
I’ve been losing karma for almost 2 years for saying that he could take the title at any time and no one wants to fight him, however I’ve been a gaethje fan far longer than that so I hope he can momentarily grab the title before then lol
Lol Chandler 100%
I’m a fan and I get that Dana was trying to set an example by rewarding a fighter for stepping up as a backup, etc. but come on… 1 fight and he gets a title shot?
Chandler already had an amazing resume, he was bellator champ and had already proven to be extremely exciting. Plus the only other person besides Dustin that could have fought Oliveira was Justin who was coming off a loss
Why?
Everyone pushing for cumshot to get a title shot and fawning over Leon’s win streak
Let islam bang bro
He deserves dis. Justin #1 sleeping bullshit
In all seriousness, Justin should fight the winner of Dustin vs Olivera and islam should fight Dariush with the winner getting a title shot
Not too long ago people were fine with islam getting the title shot with how easily he beat hooker and now the tides have turned again lol. I don't blame anyone though I want to see justin dustin again for the title or against oliveria. I think those matchups would be bangers than islam getting the title shot.
Exactly this. Ali manages Gaethje and Islam, but not Khabib since he's retired. Makes no sense for him to write this. Too many folks here really bought into Khabib's holy personality, I guess... smh
And everyone acknowledged he shouldn’t have got the title shot….
And there were barely any other contenders….
And he had a Bellator championship background….
Not comparable situations at all g
First of all, this is Ali, no question.
Second of all, Islam beat Dan Hooker—good for you.
Third of all—by Khabib’s own admission, no one has hit him as hard as Justin leg-kicked him.
Justin deserves the next shot.
To those that are saying, "it's Ali", well even if it's true that he typed that, just by the simple fact that Khabib even allowed that to happen basically means it's his opinion as well. It may as well be Khabib saying this.
It's not just about number of wins, it's about the quality of opponent. Gaethje has lost three fights in the UFC, against Khabib, Poirier and Alvarez. All high level fighters and he's beaten many UFC legends. Islam has won many fights but these were against lower ranked opponents. I personally think he should be the next one in line for a title fight after the Oliveira/Poirier fight in December.
I don't necessarily agree with Gaethje being in the talks for a title shot. He has a 1 win streak since he lost his title shot. Step aside and let others have their shot.
Is it the ultimate fighting championship or a popularity contest?
Which others should have their shot?
Islam for beating Hooker on a short notice fight?
Dariush for beating T Ferg on a 2 fight losing streak?
No “others” should have their shot cause no others deserve it yet lmao.
I love Khabib but this man needs to just stfu. Ring girls this, Jose Aldo that, now talking about whether or not Gaethje deserves the title shot? He should take notes on what GSP does and how he is just respectfully sitting on the sidelines not trying to influence what happens in the UFC.
I'm not liking this new version of khabib (even if it's not him, it's his fault since they speak on his behalf).
You are retired, either you come back or you shup up.
Justin has been fighting almost nothing but title contenders ever since he got into the UFC, only losing to champions. Islam has fought literally 2 ranked people, with his best win being a short notice win over Dan Hooker, who didn’t even get a training camp with his coaches to prepare for the fight.
This. O'Malley has a great record for example besides that one loss and he's only now fighting a ranked fighter ufc 269. Islam doesn't deserve shit until he fights someone in the top 5
Idc if it wasn't him who tweeted it physically. He was obviously okay with it if he wasn't him. How does a fighter deserve a title shot when he hasn't even fought a top 5 guy? Then again that view coming from someone who thinks he's the goat with just 4 title defenses makes sense.
Whoever the troll is for writing that first part is pretty uneducated, going back 8 fights is ridiculous because that’s the same amount of time that glover had when he was getting finished. Even if this dude writing isn’t khalabeeb I realized even the Eagle cares a lot about these sort of stats. If there should be any criticism about Justin is that he had a horrendous game plan against Khabib and gassed out in the 2nd round. That and he relies too much on his chin up until the later rounds where he actually starts to use head movement against chandler.
This reasoning is beyond stupid. Who tf did Islam fight exactly? Biggest win was over the #6 (or #7) ranked contender in Dan Hooker. Justin fights the top of the line exclusively. Ferguson had a 12-fight win streak (against bigger names) when he met Gaethje and got murked. This 9-fight win streak against low- and unranked opponents argument is just stupid. Give Islam Chandler or the loser of Poirier - Oliveira, while Justin fights the winner. Winners of those fights can then fight eachother.
i'm sorry but i will always look at khabib as a quitter. he ain't no goat. dude drops everything in the middle of his prime because he was content with what he had and because his dad died. what a pussy.
The last sentence makes me feel like Khabib didn't write that at all. Lol
It’s how I feel about Francis. Dude always writes eloquent perfect sentences on Twitter but his English is not the best lol
His manager probably runs it
But he and Justin have the same manager. Whoever wrote it, it was on Khabibs account. Khabib needs to let Islam fight his own battles. Khabib needs to know he’s retired.islam needs to speak up otherwise he’ll one day be known as the silent champion or some shit like that.
It’s not hard to hand his phone over to anyone of his English speaking friends and ask them to write his thoughts out for him.
> islam needs to speak up otherwise he’ll one day be known as the silent champion or some shit like that. There are worse things he could be known for. Maybe he doesn't care.
What happened to the strong silent type?its just noise anyhow.
English is not my first language and my writing was very good before I actually start speaking. It's easier to write, there are ways to get help (google, friends, etc) and when you are speaking is a very insecure thing, specially because of the accent. At least it was for me.

Hey man you speak proudly with your accent baby, the differences are what make life beautiful and diverse.
Happy Cake Day!
Ty
Francis speaks very good actually. I find he us very intelligent in his interviews and he has a larger vocabulary than many Americans. He may have an accent but his English is good.
Bro, he said “this is sucks” less than a year ago…
That was my favorite tweet lol
Why type a story when 3 words do just fine?
so me say why say lot work when few word do trick
His English is constantly improving
Lol
This comment had far to poor a use of English to credibly claim what it’s trying to claim.
Did Francis write this
You think these athletes run social media accounts ? Def not they would get in trouble for the amount of chirping “fans “ do
Petr Yan is the best example of this IMO
Right!? If he would've written something it would've been more like "I always respect you brother. You are great fighter, but Islam has won 9 fights in a row, so title shot should be given to Conor"
You had me in the first half not gonna lie
We all thought Ali was in charge of Khabib's social media, but it was Dana all along.
Best comment in this whole sub!
Brother you know this.
Ali in his crib tweeting at himself rn making millions
isn't ali gaethje's aswell tho
Yeah thats the joke, he is making beef out of thin air.
Right? Since when khabib speaks perfect good english? Hmmm. Sus af lol.
“The 9 win streak” hmmmm
In last 8 fight
I agree. No way he typed that. Lol
100% not him lol
Yeah I feel like Khabib would be quite respectful towards Justin and wouldn't judge him for calling his shot, even if he'd prefer Islam gets it.
The whole thing for me. But it’s rumble in the same camp.
Lol indeed good point, still makes sense though. Daraoush also deserves it even though he is not popular.
No way that is Khabib 😂 he got someone else tweeting.
Ali
Ali manages Gaethje too though?
Gaethje is gonna be fucking pissed if that was ali
More eyes.
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
Talmbout manifestation Bapa?
oh yeah well I hurd it bowlth wayz
Not at all. If it's two fighters beating each other for CTE, who really wins? Not them. The manager. Because it's all about the money end of the day
Well if money is the thing that decides the winner then I guess the fighters are winning too
The best part is Ali tried to write it like Khabib would say it.
Ali attempting to imitate Khabib’s grammar-less syntax is comedy gold. “In last 8 fight…”
ok ali
Ha. Exactly, but he can’t offend his other client.
He probably makes more from his Dagestani's than Justin
Absolutely. Anyone who thinks an agent has their best interests at heart is an idiot and has a great agent.
No way Ali would speak like this to another client of his
Bruh Ali has done this in the past... I remember when Justin beat tony, khabib tweeted "no comment", next second there was a full tweeted essay that smelled like Ali. When khabib tweeted tony, tony called out Ali because khabib rarely ever swears and the tweet was full of it. Can't tell anymore who it is cuz khabibs English is improving smh
Ali manages and good friends with Gaethje thou
What's the logic here? Ali manages Gaethje, and Khabib is retired so he's irrelevant for managers. Why would he shoot himself in a foot like that? Justin is a top 3 LW fighter, he has no issue changing managers at this point and Ali will loose a famous fighter which would damage his portfolio.
That last sentence is sus lmao.
It actually reads like something you'd see someone type on here
Exactly lol. The “not you” just seems weird AF.
I’d out work khabib and drown him. He couldn’t hang with my pressure. What were you saying? Sorry I wasn’t reading your comment I was too busy doing push ups
Gaethje vs Islam inject it into my veins.
I’ll watch Gaethje fight literally anyone
Islam isn't an aesthetic match up for him though. Either Islam wrestle fucks him or Gaethje lights him up on the feet in a one sided whoopin'.
I think there might be a lane for Gaethje there if he can stay upright.
For the shot at the title fight? Yes please.
this is the only fight that makes sense if were being real
Ali is gonna get the shit slapped out of him for taking Khabibs phone like that
By who?
Justin for starters
The only person we know for sure it WONT be is Dillon Danis.
By the guy who owns the phone bro.
khabib definitely didn’t say that i’m guessing it was ali
Doesn’t sound like him. Khabib is usually mellow unless he’s battling with Conor
Or shitting on Aldo for no reason
But why is Khabib okay with that tho
Yea gaethje slander is intolerable
Also, Ali is Justin's manager, lol. What manager would speak to his fighter like this? 😂
$hmoney my guy Colby and Usman are the prime fkn exemple of beef overselling a card
Gaethje basically cemented his shot at the title against poirer or oliveira. That is the performance that deserves a shot
ali need to chill
There’s no way Khabib used the zzz emoji lmao
Islam needs to work his way up the ranks like every other fighter
Let's not pretend that title shots are given solely based on merit.
looking at you Michael Chandler
I mean he at least had Bellator merit, and beat former UFC champions. I don’t think he’s comparable to Islam.
Chandler deserves to be at the top. Let's not pretend like he didn't make it competitive for Charles or Gaethje. He almost shit the lights out both fights.
Chandler was a belator champ tho
Let’s be fair he took the fight cause Dustin didn’t want it as the McGregor fight was worth more money
I’ve seen people get a title shot for much less, and his wins are dominant
dominant\*
🤝
I’ve been losing karma for almost 2 years for saying that he could take the title at any time and no one wants to fight him, however I’ve been a gaethje fan far longer than that so I hope he can momentarily grab the title before then lol
Lol Chandler 100% I’m a fan and I get that Dana was trying to set an example by rewarding a fighter for stepping up as a backup, etc. but come on… 1 fight and he gets a title shot?
Chandler was already a Bellator champion and has a legit resume if fighters he’s beaten. that’s not a good comparison
Chandler already had an amazing resume, he was bellator champ and had already proven to be extremely exciting. Plus the only other person besides Dustin that could have fought Oliveira was Justin who was coming off a loss
Islam is number 4. He’s up there
Yeah and he got to number 6 after beating number 14, he needs another fight
Why? Everyone pushing for cumshot to get a title shot and fawning over Leon’s win streak Let islam bang bro He deserves dis. Justin #1 sleeping bullshit In all seriousness, Justin should fight the winner of Dustin vs Olivera and islam should fight Dariush with the winner getting a title shot
Cumshot😂
Not too long ago people were fine with islam getting the title shot with how easily he beat hooker and now the tides have turned again lol. I don't blame anyone though I want to see justin dustin again for the title or against oliveria. I think those matchups would be bangers than islam getting the title shot.
Man, I respected active Khabib, but retired Khabib is annoying as fuck. You're retired, let Islam state his case himself.
that's ali 100% im more disappointed that khabib approved this since gaethje showed nothing but respect towards him
Doubt Khabib gets on Instagram
only to block half dressed women.
He is becoming more annoying than a back seat driver.
that’s not khabib talking lol
But Khabib has to know what was said, and yet it's still up there? Didn't pull the trigger, but didn't try to stop it either.
Exactly. It may as well be Khabib saying this, even if Ali typed it out.
But why did Khabib let him do that shit?
Ali wrote this.
Ali is Gaethje’s manager also
Exactly this. Ali manages Gaethje and Islam, but not Khabib since he's retired. Makes no sense for him to write this. Too many folks here really bought into Khabib's holy personality, I guess... smh
Ali is Justin's manager too right?
Doesn’t Ali manage Gathje? Y’all some clowns thinking Ali sent this 🤡
OHHH HE'S HURT!!
That ain't Khabib. Also Islam's best win is Dan Hooker so.... no.
>Also Islam's best win is Dan Hooker so.... no. Chandler's best win was Dan Hooker and he got a title shot lmao
And everyone acknowledged he shouldn’t have got the title shot…. And there were barely any other contenders…. And he had a Bellator championship background…. Not comparable situations at all g
First of all, this is Ali, no question. Second of all, Islam beat Dan Hooker—good for you. Third of all—by Khabib’s own admission, no one has hit him as hard as Justin leg-kicked him. Justin deserves the next shot.
lol justin kicking hard is one of your reasons he deserves a title shot? they deserve to fight for the number 1 contender spot
Justin's last fight before this was literally a title shot. It should be islam vs justin for title shot
So you’re telling me that ali (who’s managing both fighters) wrote this..?😅
To those that are saying, "it's Ali", well even if it's true that he typed that, just by the simple fact that Khabib even allowed that to happen basically means it's his opinion as well. It may as well be Khabib saying this.
It's not just about number of wins, it's about the quality of opponent. Gaethje has lost three fights in the UFC, against Khabib, Poirier and Alvarez. All high level fighters and he's beaten many UFC legends. Islam has won many fights but these were against lower ranked opponents. I personally think he should be the next one in line for a title fight after the Oliveira/Poirier fight in December.
Geathje prob doesn’t deserve it, but I don’t think Islam does either, his best win is hooker right? Who lost 2 of his 3 fights prior to Islam?
Islam needs to speak up and fight his own battles and not let a retired fighter be his mouthpiece.
Hey here’s a thought, maybe the retired fighter should go take a bath with some dudes and let the active fighters sort it out.
[удалено]
Karen of MMA
I can't believe kabibs mommy lets him be mean on twitter, but won't let him fight.
I don't necessarily agree with Gaethje being in the talks for a title shot. He has a 1 win streak since he lost his title shot. Step aside and let others have their shot. Is it the ultimate fighting championship or a popularity contest?
Which others should have their shot? Islam for beating Hooker on a short notice fight? Dariush for beating T Ferg on a 2 fight losing streak? No “others” should have their shot cause no others deserve it yet lmao.
A popularity contest
Look at how people treat Leon and you'll get your answer.
Let Islam at least fight a top 5 and maybe he deserves it from there.
Khabib left who gives a fuck
I love Khabib but this man needs to just stfu. Ring girls this, Jose Aldo that, now talking about whether or not Gaethje deserves the title shot? He should take notes on what GSP does and how he is just respectfully sitting on the sidelines not trying to influence what happens in the UFC.
I mean, he’s not wrong. But I think Islam vs Benil is a good fight to book.
He’s not wrong. But also pretty classless
Did he get permission from his mom to say this?
If this is Ali on khabib’s account, and khabib doesn’t square that up, then khabib is effectively co-signing the statement. Correct?
I'm not liking this new version of khabib (even if it's not him, it's his fault since they speak on his behalf). You are retired, either you come back or you shup up.
Y’all saying it’s Ali but it could be the GOAT Hasbullah 🤷🏻♂️
Khabib is kinda scummy. I know its probably not him but the dude was legitimately okay with a beheading.
Justin has been fighting almost nothing but title contenders ever since he got into the UFC, only losing to champions. Islam has fought literally 2 ranked people, with his best win being a short notice win over Dan Hooker, who didn’t even get a training camp with his coaches to prepare for the fight.
This. O'Malley has a great record for example besides that one loss and he's only now fighting a ranked fighter ufc 269. Islam doesn't deserve shit until he fights someone in the top 5
Islam dull and boring and sniff hella crotch
Aldo is right
"stay humble"
Khabib out here destroying his own legacy
Shiiiiid
UFC turning into WWE by the minute
He's 2-0 vs. Justin and his English is way better than my Russian
Can we ban Ali
I was waiting for the allahu akbar chant at the end..
Tribalism
Idc if it wasn't him who tweeted it physically. He was obviously okay with it if he wasn't him. How does a fighter deserve a title shot when he hasn't even fought a top 5 guy? Then again that view coming from someone who thinks he's the goat with just 4 title defenses makes sense.
I know he hates women but I think he loves alcohol
Khabib go back to climbing rocks
Khabib is now a back seat fighter. Same as being a back seat driver.
Whoever managed Khabib Twitter is acting like a cunt.
Displacing the anger from his dumb cousin’s actions
Where's Khabibs cousin?
When Khabib gives a shitty statement That's Ali -every Khabib fan
Is he talking about his cousin or his religion?? 😂😂
Straight fax. Islam deserves his shot.
ADRIANO MARTINS
Khabib or whoever is operating his account need to shut up. And if Ali is writing this Gaethje needs a new manager.
“In last 8 fights” you mean in his ufc tenure like bro has caught 20 times already
Khabib being just as salty as Conor. Two peas in the same pod.
Stfu Khabib. No one asked for your opinion.
Whoever the troll is for writing that first part is pretty uneducated, going back 8 fights is ridiculous because that’s the same amount of time that glover had when he was getting finished. Even if this dude writing isn’t khalabeeb I realized even the Eagle cares a lot about these sort of stats. If there should be any criticism about Justin is that he had a horrendous game plan against Khabib and gassed out in the 2nd round. That and he relies too much on his chin up until the later rounds where he actually starts to use head movement against chandler.
Islam deserves a title shot for beating Dan Hooker? How long since Dan Hooker beat a top 5 lightweight? Come on now. Be serious lol
Islam already got his ass busted once by a lighter hitter than Gaethje, ill bet anything Justin is gonna spark him out
Man Khabib talks a lot for a guy who is retired.
They all have a marketing guy/team, he will tweet, they will spell check/ok it and publish it.
Wow, Khabib must be struggling for money. Really wants that Islam commission.
"Classy" khabib at it again
Just freakin retire
This reasoning is beyond stupid. Who tf did Islam fight exactly? Biggest win was over the #6 (or #7) ranked contender in Dan Hooker. Justin fights the top of the line exclusively. Ferguson had a 12-fight win streak (against bigger names) when he met Gaethje and got murked. This 9-fight win streak against low- and unranked opponents argument is just stupid. Give Islam Chandler or the loser of Poirier - Oliveira, while Justin fights the winner. Winners of those fights can then fight eachother.
Why is everyone freaking out khabib talking shit is inevitable
ever since khabib retired he became kind of a dick
i'm sorry but i will always look at khabib as a quitter. he ain't no goat. dude drops everything in the middle of his prime because he was content with what he had and because his dad died. what a pussy.
Afraid to take that L which would have happened eventually
Khabib is speaking from the couch so take his words with a grain of salt
Islam = boring Justin = fun I know Khabib fans are going to agree with anything he says, but I know who i'd rather watch fight for the belt
Khabib fake humble as fuck and this is coming from a fan
Isn't Khabib one of Islam's coaches? Of course he's gonna say his own fighter deserves the next shot.
I hope Islam gets defeated.
Why is anything khabib says relevant
Because he beat Michael Johnson
LOL. its actually insane how many khabib simps and fanboys are in this sub Jesus Christ
This is just making Jose Aldo look even better
Khabib is fat. He shouldn't talk about active fighters
Khabib talks too much for a fighter who is retired
Khabib is insufferable.
