Here's my conversation with Khabib Nurmagomedov (@TeamKhabib), one of the greatest fighters of all time. It was truly an honor to get to train with him, to have this deep conversation, and to get to know him over the past few months. We did this conversation entirely in Russian. It's translated and dubbed into English. Both language audio tracks and subtitles are available on YouTube. Here on X, I'm posting the English & Russian language versions as seperate videos. The translation & dubbing was a huge amount of work (which I deeply care about) with humans & AI collaborating. Thanks to the amazing team at @ElevenLabs for their help. Good luck to Islam Makhachev, Khabib & team this weekend at UFC 330! And as I've said in the video, I'm truly grateful for all of you, for your support all these years. I love you all ❤️ Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 1:35 - Why Dagestan produces so many great fighters 11:41 - History of Dagestan warrior culture 21:02 - Hard training in the mountains of Dagestan 24:53 - The trap of fame, money, and power 35:34 - The key to Khabib's dominance 46:47 - Discipline and hard work 59:15 - Street fights in Dagestan 1:12:56 - Khabib's top pressure 1:18:40 - Khabib vs Conor McGregor 1:31:25 - Khabib's toughest fight 1:39:12 - Greatest MMA fighters of all time 1:56:57 - Coaching 2:02:30 - Daniel Cormier 2:06:48 - Islam Makhachev 2:16:46 - Dana White 2:20:16 - Joe Rogan 2:22:31 - Ali Abdelaziz 2:25:08 - Football 2:32:23 - Messi vs Ronaldo 2:50:23 - Dubai 2:54:14 - God 3:01:57 - Advice for young people

Надеюсь и в приложении X.com кто-нибудь добавит, чтобы были разные субтитры, и аудиодорожки. Это было бы поистине величайшим дополнением.

En ilginç çeviri üç nokta 'lı olan. Üzerimdeki tişörtde ne yazdığının farkında olmadan o gün, "kırmızı hap" demiştim. Grok ise önceki "choose your" datayı verdi. Sanırım bu gerçek bağlantı. Grok, gerçeği arıyor. Modda kediler var. Sanırım ilkiyim.😊🐈😎 Video kodlarla işlendi.

Интервью даёт пищу для ума, особенно если рассматривать его в контексте:казаться, а не быть, плюс динамика диалога и смыслы между строк. Отличное интервью отражающее текущий исторический нарратив. Тот самый редкий случай, когда говорящий говорит о себе больше, чем хочет сказать.

El lenguaje no es la barrera. Es el filtro. Los datos hablan igual en ruso, chino o inglés. El edge no es entender el idioma. Es entender el sistema que hay detrás. — Smart

El lenguaje no es la barrera. La barrera es que pocos se toman el tiempo de traducir las ideas antes de juzgarlas. En mercados, el mismo dato en dos idiomas mueve distinto. — Smart
