Back when no one knew Islam Makhachev... 🥹

Everyone had a question for Khabib. Nobody had one for Islam... so Khabib asked him himself. 🦅

“How would you like 2020 to go for you? What opponents would you choose for yourself?”

Islam went on to win belts in two divisions. 👑

[Mac Media MMA @MacMediaMMA]

Khabib shares some last-minute wisdom with Tom Aspinall before UFC 321. 🦅🧠

“Use everything together — wrestling, boxing, pressure. Because [Gane] doesn’t have this ability.”

Unfortunately, the eye poke meant Tom never really got the chance to put Khabib’s plan into action. 😬

And the Oscar goes to... Rodolfo Bellato? 🎬🏆

Bellato appeared to fake a seizure after being hit with an illegal upkick by Paul Craig at UFC Atlanta last year.
