Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. KSI Gives Jake Paul His Props for Facing AJ (Anthony Joshua)

Timestamps: 03:27–13:33

• KSI (“Jake is fighting AJ. And you know what? I'm going to give him props.” 05:14)

  • KSI uncharacteristically respects Jake's willingness to fight a heavyweight world champion.
  • The Sidemen and host banter about the lopsided physical matchup (“AJ by soap being dropped in prison. AJ by brutal Bonnie Blue scene…” – Sidemen, 05:30).
  • The group agrees: while AJ is heavily favored, Jake has nothing to lose except possible serious injury.
  • Discussion on the risks of repeated trauma vs. a single knockout in boxing (host references scientific realities of boxing damage, 06:03).
  • KSI repeatedly notes the payday is a major factor but the risk is real (“Surely you've got the confidence to know that. Like, I'm gonna bum him. I will not be paying to view that.” – Sidemen, 08:26).
  • Big “money fight” confirmation: AJ is earning his second biggest payday ever from the Paul fight, despite all his past title bouts (09:00).

• Marketability and Career Stakes

  • The host: Jake’s status will survive—even grow—unless AJ seriously injures him. Losses to other influencers (like KSI or Tommy Fury) hurt Jake’s brand more than losing to a former unified heavyweight champion (09:39–10:51).
  • “It's the entertainment business and these Netflix fights are made for a massive audience.” (09:39)

2. Can Jake Paul Even Survive Against AJ?

Timestamps: 11:00–15:10

• The panel debates Jake’s chances.

  • Host: “People believe Jake has this ulterior motive to fights, and they just haven't accepted the reality that he's batshit crazy.” (12:08)
  • Sidemen: "You have to be that deluded. You can't even have any clean of thought legitimately thinking, I can beat you." (12:54)
  • Jake’s motivation isn’t only the money—he reportedly turned down $40-50 million for a lesser fight (vs. Gervonta Davis) and instead sought the greatest challenge (13:15).
  • KSI: “End of the year, we need something...Javonte Davis is out. We've got nothing left...AJ is there. He's down.” (13:31)

• Purse Split: Who Gets Paid Most?

  • Host: “No, AJ did not get more than Jake for this fight. No shot...Jake is the A side and Anthony Joshua is going to get a handsome fee. But...Jake's going to get paid more.” (13:58)

3. Slight Support for Jake—Chances and Consequences

Timestamps: 15:10–15:56

• Host references Tyron Woodley interview, noting Woodley doesn’t write Jake off entirely.
  • “I don't think there's no chance Jake can win. I think that's a pretty reasonable take...But you can't rule out a chance. Even though I think we're talking 1–2% here, we're talking Hail Mary from the gods.” (15:12)
  • The consensus: it’s a mismatch, but as always, there’s a puncher’s chance.

---

4. Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford Rematch Talks

Timestamps: 15:56–26:51

• The host questions the logic of a rematch for 2026: “My only question is why? Why? Outside of a massive payday, the first fight wasn't necessarily a competitive fight.” (15:56)
  • Canelo wants redemption but the host doubts the matchup will be any closer second time around (breakdown of the reasons Canelo struggled, 17:30+).
  • If Canelo is to change the outcome, he’d have to “fight Terence Crawford like he fought Sergey Kovalev at 175. That’s genuinely what he would have to do. He’d have to be lighter on his feet, he’d have to throw more combinations.” (20:08)
  • Memorable moment: “I think the matchup's all wrong for Canelo. I think this style of fight in terms of what Terence Crawford does well is counterpunching off the front and back foot, his ability to go from range with his jab, be inside with it too...He’s got just a different timing than Canelo really has on his punches...bad matchup for Canelo. We've seen it already. And I just don't know if the rematch goes any differently.” (26:13)

---

5. Khabib Nurmagomedov: Crypto Scams and Shady Business?

Timestamps: 26:51–64:55

• Host’s thesis: Khabib, long seen as “MMA’s good guy,” is repeatedly involved in promoting questionable or outright scam crypto projects, NFTs, and other dubious business endeavors.

• Breaks down Khabib’s recent “Papaka” Telegram NFT project—a digital collectible with unclear value, auctioned under a guise of tradition and gifting (36:14).

  • Memorable host quote: “He keeps calling it a gift when in reality it is something that he sold at auction...This one's a borderline scam. He's not providing you with anything of value. He's not even providing you with what an NFT normally would be...you're buying an emoji, essentially.” (36:14)
  • The host blasts Khabib for using his late father’s name and Dagestani culture for marketing (35:19–36:14).
  • Conor McGregor reignites their rivalry on social media, accusing Khabib of scamming fans and using his father’s legacy.

• Pattern of Questionable Projects:

  • Reviews previous involvements:
    • GMT Token ("joint product" to mine Bitcoin for you)—collapsed with investors left holding worthless tokens.
    • “Khabib Gold Cards” NFTs—no value delivered.
    • Host: “At a certain point, are you not just a scammer as well?” (49:07)
    • Repeated rug pulls and dump patterns; ongoing promotion of “Multibank IO” token, which also tanked.
    • Other projects mentioned: Game Plan, ICE Open Network, Waheed Private Real Estate, Arena 2—all have major issues or have led to investor losses.
  • Host calls out the selective morality and lack of accountability: “If we're going to address everything that's wrong with Conor McGregor...or Jon Jones...should we not keep the same energy for someone like Khabib who was supposed to be the beacon, supposed to be the most honorable of all of us?” (53:10)
  • Host’s verdict: “Do I think Khabib is a crypto scammer? Yeah, I do. Do I think he should stop doing it? Yeah, I do. But if you guys are dumb enough to buy it, you're going to keep getting this result anyway.” (64:55)

---

6. Jake Paul’s Secret Weapon for Anthony Joshua

Timestamps: 69:03–86:10

• The host teases that Jake Paul might not be as easy an opponent for AJ as most believe, and that Jake has gone above and beyond prepping for this opportunity.
  • Preparation:
    • Jake sparred Cassius Chaney (previously due to fight AJ).
    • He assembled a sparring camp of legitimate heavyweights: Jared “Big Baby” Anderson, Frank Sanchez, and Lawrence Okolie (“This picture is fucking insane...Jake looks like a youngster that hasn't quite fully grown into heavyweight, when in reality this is as big as he's going to get.” 75:01).
    • Host applauds Jake’s willingness to get battered by world-level big men: “I have to say, Jake's cajones can no longer be denied.”
  • Secret Weapon:
    • Rumor: A "very famous trainer of heavyweights" based in London is working with Jake (81:14).
    • Speculation: It could be Ben Davison (unlikely given his ties to AJ) or Don Charles, who trained Daniel Dubois to a recent major victory over Joshua.
      • “If this is true, it makes things very interesting. Don Charles was in a pretty much chaotic camp...but he is a very good trainer and a guy that just worked on a game plan to beat Anthony Joshua.” (81:28)
  • Skepticism remains: Even with expert training, Jake is vastly undersized and under-experienced. His only chance is something unpredictable or catching AJ off-guard.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• KSI on Jake facing AJ:

  “Jake is fighting AJ. And you know what? I'm going to give him props.” (05:14)

• Ring Magazine Host on Jake's risk:

  “There really is only one outcome that can hurt Jake in this scenario, and that's that he gets viciously knocked out or he gets beat up really bad for eight rounds and then viciously knocked out...People are kind of acting like that, like, oh, yeah, Jake, you should get knocked out. Who cares? You get in a bag. Yeah, but there's still going to be some residual massive trauma, hematoma potential from a guy like AJ knocking you out flat.” (06:03)

• Host (on Khabib’s scams):

  “At a certain point, are you not just a scammer as well?...You have to bear some responsibility as someone that is looked up to and has carried themselves as the moral fighter, as the guy that makes the right decisions…” (49:07)

• On Jake’s training:

  “This picture is insane. Number one, you do have legitimate heavyweights there...When you look at this picture, the first thing that jumps off the page is that Jake looks like a youngster that hasn't quite fully grown into heavyweight, when in reality he, this is as big as he's going to get.” (75:01)

• Host on secret trainer rumor:

  “A famous heavyweight boxing trainer based in London is working with Jake to prepare for Anthony Joshua...first person I thought of...Ben Davidson...or Don Charles, who just so happened...to as of earlier this year, absolutely chin and stop AJ…” (81:19)

Summary Takeaways

• AJ remains a gigantic favorite among panelists and boxing observers, but Jake’s relentless marketing, training, and outside-the-box strategies keep the story compelling (and controversial).
• Khabib’s business ventures have crossed the line from naive athlete shilling to repeat scam-like behavior, and the host argues the MMA community should hold him accountable.
• The Canelo vs. Crawford rematch is viewed as a cash grab likely to reinforce the one-sidedness of the first bout—the host predicts Crawford would dominate even more.
• The show ends with open questions: might Jake shock the world, or will all this prep simply delay the inevitable?

Closing Words

No matter how unlikely the upsets or how dubious the business, the spectacle of modern combat sports thrives on spectacle, controversy, and risk. The host’s thorough, sometimes blunt—but fair—commentary leaves listeners with plenty to debate about who’s a hero, who’s a villain, and how money, legacy, and pride intertwine in the fight game.

[KSI]

Jake is fine, aj. And you know what? I'm going to give him props.

[Sponsor Voice - Odoo]

Fair.

[Ring Magazine Host]

Okay, fair play, Jake.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

What about aj? Props for aj?

[KSI]

I mean, AJ should knock him out.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

Oh, it is a weird one.

[Ring Magazine Host]

Like.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

Like, am I just being stupid? Like, is he not just going wig him? AJ by soap being dropped in prison. AJ by brutal Bonnie Blue scene, aj, Jesus.

[Ring Magazine Host]

Brutal Bonnie blue scene by just Summit Vile.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

But, like, obviously, right? So what's happening?

[Sponsor Voice - Anabe Sofas]

What am I.

[Sponsor Voice - Odoo]

What?

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

They're both gonna get so much cashola. Yeah, it. It legitimizes Jake even more.

[KSI]

Well, not really. I mean, we're just gonna see him. I mean. No, it does, it does.

[Ring Magazine Host]

KSI doesn't want to, man. He's like, ah, I don't know about that. He doesn't want to fully go there. But the thing is, there really is only one outcome that can hurt Jake in this scenario, and that's that he gets viciously knocked out or he gets beat up really bad for eight rounds and then viciously knocked out. I saw Nikisa talking on Ariel Hawani show today about this, about, like, how it's not necessarily something they're worried about that Jake gets knocked out because he's not afraid of the one punch knockout as much as he's afraid of, like, Jake getting beat up for eight rounds badly, and it, you know, causing some real cognitive damage. And this. There is science behind the fact that the more repeated head trauma is the more dangerous thing about pro boxing, because those gloves, you can get hit, you get eight to 10 seconds to stand, and you can repeat it two, three times in the same fight, just absorbing punch after punch. So in the. In the totality of Jake getting, like, knocked out cold, is that the worst thing possible for his health? I mean, who knows, dude, you could have a freaking brain aneurysm when you get hit off one shot from a guy like aj. Again, knock on wood. You don't want to see any of that happen. The risk is inherent that he gets absolutely, like, flat line and something bad happens. That's. That's the reality of every fight. Don't want to dismiss it like, oh, yeah, Jake can just go get knocked out and it doesn't matter. People are kind of acting like that, like, oh, yeah, Jake, you should get knocked out. Who cares? You get in a bag. Yeah, but there's still going to be some residual massive trauma, hematoma potential from a guy like AJ knocking you out flat. I know that Francis got knocked out and came back in one of the PFL, but Jake's not 260 skull. Not as big, although he has a head like a fucking pit bull.

[KSI]

But still does him even stepping up to fight. AJ is.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

A heavyweight world champion. No joke fight in the world that's more credible than aj. It'd be Canelo or Simon. No, not even that, because it. Canelo's more his weight. Like you'll fight the heavyweight heavyweight. But also, it's also like. Like the way I see it, I think AJ and his team, he's not fighting for titles again, like world titles again. He's not on that stage.

[KSI]

Well, do you. Do you think it's a lose?

[Ring Magazine Host]

I don't know that that's necessarily true for Ethan. Like right now he's not fighting for world titles, but AJ potentially could fight for a world title in the future because Usyk is now dropping belts and he's probably going to drop a couple of those world titles if he still gets.

[KSI]

If it goes 12 rounds.

[Ring Magazine Host]

Yeah.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

That's bad.

[KSI]

Yeah.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

Surely you've got the confidence to know that. Like, I'm gonna bum him. I will not be paying to view that.

[Ring Magazine Host]

That is the biggest hood on a hoodie I think I've ever seen in my life. That looks like one of the helmets from Spaceballs, dude. What is that?

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

Pay to watch a good. Yeah, but the thing is, I think that they know that a lot of people watch every Jake Paul fight.

[Ring Magazine Host]

Oh, don't preach it.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

And then we can deliver that. That devastating loss then.

[Sponsor Voice - Degree Cool Rush]

We are.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

It's still a clip of him knocking out Jake Paul if it happens. But then I just don't get it. I don't get it.

[Ring Magazine Host]

Yes, it's money. And I heard a. Eddie Hurt. Yeah. Eddie Hurtin today said AJ was going to make the most or the second most he's ever made as a boxer, which is fucking crazy. AJ's been in heavyweight title fights, two of which with Usyk Klitschko. He's fought in some of the most marquee places. Sold them out. And the second highest gate or the second biggest payday he'll make is Jake Paul. That's the. That's the craziest thing.

[KSI]

Is that it then after. Let's say Paul gets fights, AJ gets brutally knocked.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

No, because he got knocked out by the heavyweight X heavyweight champ.

[KSI]

People would watch him again for sure.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

Yeah. Because he could lose the first round by a knockout. And like, of course he's lost first round.

[Ring Magazine Host]

Knocking one weapon for sure. I agree. KSI is thinking, oh, if he gets knocked out by aj, the career's over. No, because you don't have. Again, unless he's like, actually physically harmed in a way that he can't recover from. Like, if his career ends because AJ hurts him badly, then yes. But if it's a knockout where Jake is able to then continue fighting, people will still watch. It may not be as, as big as the AJ fight, but he still has an opportunity to make money in boxing again. The only way it wouldn't be the case is if Jake got, like, permanently injured from this fight. Which is part of the reason that they take this fight is because Jake doesn't really have anything to lose here outside of, again, the bodily harm. You know, you fight a guy like Tommy Fury again, which I want to see, I think is more competitive, but doesn't bring the eyes that AJ does. So again, this is the entertainment business and these Netflix fights are made for a massive audience. But you lose to Tommy Fury again, even by decision, that deflates Jake more than a knockout from Anthony Joshua. A loss to KSI deflates Jake more than a loss to Anthony Joshua. This is a perfect even. Even if Jake would have gotten just schooled by Gervonte Davis, it would have deflated him more than a knockout, I think. Yeah, it's a lot of risk, a lot of reward, but as far as your marketability, as long as you don't get permanently injured, which is a big. If you can keep doing this, AJ.

[KSI]

Is a big, Big guy.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

Big guy crazy. I'm trying to think what the face off's going to be like. Like six, four minimum as well.

[Ring Magazine Host]

No, AJ's 66. Dude, this is before they faced off. But AJ is 66.

[KSI]

Oh, he's got the reach, he's got the, the, the, the length, he's got the power. But like, like, okay, he wins on every level.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

I know Logan had all the stats on you, am I right? If Logan had most stats against you, I know it's not.

[Ring Magazine Host]

No, it's different, though. It's different. Like, not even fucking close to the same thing. Vikkstar, I love you, but don't you dare ever open your fucking mouth and say that shit again, buddy. This man said. Yeah, but Logan Paul had a lot of attributes on you. KSI, shut your delusional ass up. You were talking about Anthony Joshua. What? This is why the sidemen don't need to do boxing segments on the pod, bro. They need to just let KSI say what he's gonna say and move on to like, hey, what's new in Minecraft? Or who's the imposter? Or whatever the. Whatever it is that they do. Don't. Don't go here, bro.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

Like, surely I'm thinking, like, I know he's obviously got all his head, like, he's gonna like, he's world champion. He's really good. But surely in these kind of fights you can't. He can't be legitimately thinking, I want to win. There's no way he's going. He's training, thinking, yeah, I'm gonna fucking knock this guy out. I think you have.

[Ring Magazine Host]

Here's the thing, man. People believe Jake has this ulterior motive to fights, and they just haven't accepted the reality that he's batshit crazy. And they, the Simon of all people should know because KSI has gotten into boxing, improved a lot of people wrong. And I know it's aj, but they have to know that when Jake signs to fight, he legit thinks he's going to win. How do people not realize this by now? How do they not understand it? Again, I disagree with him, but Jake is not getting in there going, well, I'm going to go get knocked out for a cash, you know, a bag. That's not how he approaches this stuff.

[Sponsor Voice - PayPal]

Now.

[Ring Magazine Host]

It doesn't mean that he's going to win, but that's not. KSI doesn't do that. People get that wrong. That's the one thing where I'm like, y' all just. Y' all don't get it. And I've heard this about Jake and KSI even for years. And it's why people sleep on them and it's why guys take them lightly, and it's why they end up beating more people than they should.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

Dude, you have to be that. Otherwise you are getting put to sleep. If you have doubt in that ring, you're. You're going. You have to be that deluded. You can't even have any clean of thought legitimately thinking, I can beat you.

[KSI]

I think also the amount of money that he's probably getting from for this fight because Netflix are there, like, we need.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

This is huge.

[Ring Magazine Host]

But Jake was going to get 50 mil to fight Gervonta Davis. This is why I don't understand the whole, oh, it's just for the money. It's just for the money, dude. He was about to get 40 to 50 mil to fight Gervonta in an exhibition. This isn't just for the money. He didn't have to take AJ the toughest challenge possible just for the money.

[KSI]

End of the year, we need something.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

Yeah.

[KSI]

And Javante Davis is out. We've got nothing left. We can't have you find someone that's below Javonte Davis. So they're like, AJ is there. He's down. Are you gonna do it for this many millions? And then he's clearly just what you.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

Reckon the purses are.

[KSI]

If you had to guess, like 50 plus million.

[Ring Magazine Host]

Yeah.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

Well, Jake or Jake.

[KSI]

Yeah.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

Who got more?

[Sponsor Voice - Total Wireless]

Aj.

[Ring Magazine Host]

No, AJ did not get more than Jake for this fight. No shot. Again, you're in a bubble if you think that AJ is a more popular person in the world. That's gonna bring more eyes to this than Jake. He will bring a lot of eyes, but he's not more well known. It's just the of the situation. Jake's going to get paid more. Jake is the A side and Anthony Joshua is going to get a handsome fee. But he is not. He's not what people think. As far as the main pay per view draw, it's a big draw because of aj, I will agree. But Jake is the A side for a reason here. All right, so something to add on to everything that we talked about today in a different shirt. You know, I'm saying I took a break, came back. There is also an interview that Ariel Hawani did with Tyron Woodley where Tyron Woodley doesn't go as far as saying Jake will beat Anthony Joshua. But he's not thinking about this fight in the way the rest of us are talking about how Jake potentially is going to just get absolutely annihilated or that he doesn't have really a shot in hell at winning this. And I thought it was interesting, someone that has fought Jake before, talking about his chances versus Anthony Joshua. Let's take a look at this. I want to. I want to try to maintain a bit of unbiasedness when I talk about this fight with Jake and aj. And if there is anything that I'm missing, be able to look at it in a different lens from somebody that's been in there with Jake. Let's take a look.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

Do you think he has a chance, Jake?

[Ring Magazine Host]

I mean, people think I'm crazy, but they, they. They yelled at me when I said I thought the fight with him and Anderson was even. Remember I said that? And everybody went crazy on me for saying I thought that fight was even. I don't think this fight is even. I do think that Anthony Joshua is a, as a better boxer, I think he has more power, but I don't think there's no chance Jake can win. I think that's a, a pretty reasonable take. Now again, I shouldn't have to say that this is a completely different fight from Jake Paul and Anderson Silva, who at the time, yes, that was a real challenge for Jake and he had already beaten Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. And Jake was still relatively new to the sport. But it wasn't crazy to think that Jake was going to have a chance to win that fight. Anderson Silva was 48, I think, or 47. He was not a traditional boxer. And while the weight was somewhat similar, Jake was a young man still growing into this sport, whereas aj, I mean, again, we have to list the differences. He's a natural 260 pounder. In fact, I think reports are that right now he weighs 265 pounds. He's going to have to cut to 245. I don't know that that's going to be very easy to do in a matter of, you know, three weeks, four weeks here that we have, which is crazy. We're less than a month away. But that's not the same fighter. And what Tyron Woodley says is, yeah, AJ is the better boxer, he is the more experienced boxer, he is a more powerful guy. He has every single physical attribute advantage possible. So he should win. And it shouldn't be really even considered that Jake Paul would have more than a slim chance. But you can't rule out a chance. Even though I think we're talking 1 2% here, we're talking Hail Mary from the gods, right hand or, I don't know, a super, super tentative jab heavy win. I couldn't even see that, to be honest with you. How are you going to out jab a guy with that much of a reach advantage on you and who also has a good jab for himself? So I don't know if I read too much into the decision, Jake win, I don't, I don't see how that can go his way. But I do think that there's a very, very, very small chance that a right AJ gets a little lackadaisical and potentially that could change the fight. Outside of that, AJ should win this going away, but that's all I got for today. Man. We're gonna keep covering this thing. As we get closer and closer, we're only T minus three weeks, three and a half weeks away. From this fight? We have Misfits Mania in Dubai on December 20. A ton of stuff coming your way from this point till then, including a massive interview I'm working on. I'm talking big boy interview. Stay tuned for that. I can't say too much about it yet, but it's going to be potentially channel changing, shattering. And we'll get to that as we get further into this. But what happens in this Jake AJ fight? Can Jake actually do it? Can he find the one hidden spot to land the right hand from the gods? Is this a change of heart from KSI, giving Jake some credit and starting to be potentially Jake Paul Glazer after all the years y' all called me that. And what do you think about the idea of this fight being potentially one of the biggest this year, if not the biggest this year? Is that fight bigger than Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury? I'll let you guys decide in the comments. What happens next December 19th in Miami with Jake Paul AJ don't have those answers, but I guess we'll find out. All right, folks, we are back on the way concept presented by the Ring magazine. And today I'm a little bit late to the news, but it's. It's no longer breaking news, but Terence Crawford, Canelo Alvarez are apparently in talks for a rematch in 2026. And my only question is why? Why? Outside of a massive payday, the first fight wasn't necessarily a competitive fight. And if they do it again, I think it's going to be less competitive. I don't think this is going to go very well for one Sahul Canel Alvarez. And I'll tell you why the breakdown. Let's go. All right, so like I said, the Ring magazine reporting as of about four days ago. Now, I'm a little late to the news, but Canelo Alvarez wants Terence Crawford. Rematch says negotiations are underway for 2026. Now, first off, I expect nothing less from Canelo. He wants to get that fight back. Well, number one, it's a somewhat advantageous matchup at 168 for him. And there's not many other matchups at 168 for Canelo right now that offer him any sort of advantages. Imagine you try to put him in there with the Hamza Shiraz or someone with a bigger frame, longer, taller. I mean, even David Benavidez before he went and knocked out and absolutely smoked Anthony Yard was saying, you know, I'm still entertaining the potential of a Canelo fight. There's not many other people at 168. I mean Mary maybe if you did Chris Eubank Jr. But after he loses to Connor Ben, what does that fight really even mean? Canelo says, I want my run back, I want my get back. But I gotta be honest, I just, I don't know how this goes well for Canelo in a rematch. Honestly, you will look at the first fight and the things that plagued Canelo were essentially the things that plague him against most boxers. His flat feet, his lack of movement, his lack of volume. He couldn't get to Terrence. He was overextending. He was getting caught with counter shots as he overextended. The big shown around memed and replayed moment of the fight is Canelo trying to throw a hook and a right hand and Terrence Terrence Crawford slipping on the outside and banging the left hand counter behind it. Canelo was beaten to the punch from distance. He was beaten in exchanges and even in points in the fight. He was beaten inside by Terence Crawford. This was a I wouldn't say dominant, but I would say more one sided than I thought win for Terence Crawford where he flat out outbox Canelo and he took Canelo's power like there were times where Canelo landed the big right hand and Terence Crawford took it. So what would be different if they fought again? The only different thing that potentially could happen would be in Canelo's hands. He would have to ways to be different. And as much as I would love to believe that's possible, Canelo getting up there in age, I understand Terence Crawford is older, but Terence Crawford already fights in a way that's advantageous versus Canelo. He doesn't really have to change much and he's fighting up a couple of weight classes from where he normally did. So he doesn't have to really worry about a weight cut either. And he's filled into that weight class because he looked just as big if not bigger that Canelo Alvarez did on fight night. So the question is, what would Canelo do differently? I the only thing that I could see that Canelo may be able to do some different things with. Number one, he did get elbow surgery on his lead elbow. This was on October 25th. Apparently also had a new child, so congrats to Canelo on the new baby. But he also had the elbow surgery. He is now, I guess rehabbing that four to six weeks for him to resume training. So it's not getting in the way of something in 2026. But what I realistically think Canelo could and should and would do differently for this fight is he would have to fight Terence Crawford like he f Sergey Kovalev at 175. That's genuinely what he would have to do. He'd have to be lighter on his feet, he'd have to throw more combinations and he'd have to be quicker with his hands as he was in that fight. And I'm not saying that he changes everything about himself. Canelo had success in moments with Bud Crawford, but that's what he would have to do and some right he would have to be able to to add layers to his game and not be so flat footed. And if he's going to combination punch, he's got to do so in the fire with Terence Crawford which he Going into the first fight I didn't think Terence Crawford was going to have as much success with his combination punching because he'd have to be in front of the powerful hands of Canelo. But again he was able to do so off the back foot and front because Canelo threw one at a time. He threw the jab or the right hand or he threw the hook right hand. And again Terence Crawford remained mostly southpaw, which does give Canelo problems because now he has to lead with his backhand versus punctuate with it and his jab gets neutralized. And it's just a mess of a fight for Canelo. It really is. I don't hate that he wants to get that back. And the matchup itself is again one of the only ones that Canelo can still have, make a shit ton of money and potentially not completely kill his star power should he lose. He still has I think a couple more fights with the Ring Magazine and Riyadh season that he needs to fulfill his contract. So if he's able to get the rematch with Terrence from his perspective, I understand it. But we have to shed some light on the reality of this fight should it happen.

Antiperspirant brand fights where we've seen the stylistic difference and we've seen the advantages that Terence Crawford has. And again, it's not even just like boxing acumen, it's the intangibles too. It's Bud's reach, it's his boxing iq, it's the switching of stance, but it's also his timing, it's also his feet and his understanding of where he's safe versus where he's not and how he kind of schooled Canelo a little bit in that first fight. When it came to the Marcus of Queensberry boxing, right, Canelo was big and he was brooding and he was trying to out physical Terrence and Terence was letting him do all that, be stagnant, be flat footed, walk forward and throw his combination pivot, throw his combination or even in moments in the fight, I think it was round nine, he sat down in the pocket and was catching things on the gloves and turning with shots and firing back and all of that was just boxing 101. And Canelo was visibly frustrated by it, visibly pissed off that he couldn't get to Terence Crawford. He got hit with some punches and was like, let me lock back in. You don't see Canelo like that a lot. And it's the frustration of not being able to figure out that puzzle. And that was the first time he saw him. And maybe you could say, listen, Canelo just needed to see him one time to figure out that puzzle, right? He figured out triple G was able to re implement it in the rematch. And then the third fight, it was not even a great fight. Canelo just did what he wanted. But this is not the case, I don't think with Crawford. I think Crawford just has a style that is really, really tough for Canelo and I'll be honest, if they fought again, it would be more dominant for Terence Crawford. I, I truly think if, if in 2026 they book this rematch, I think Crawford dominates him even worse. And I'm not saying he stops Canelo because I don't know if that's something that Terrence could get at 168 because Canelo's chin is still really never been tested like that. Like he didn't really get hurt in the Crawford fight, he just got outboxed. But maybe, maybe he, he potentially would be able to stop him, but I more one sided than we saw in the first fight and would just reestablish that. Terence Crawford is that guy in this sport right now, the top guy, the head honcho in this sport, which is, I don't know, I mean is it dangerous to Canelo's legacy to lose to the best of this era and the best of the era previously? I don't know. Like did Canelo ever have an era where he was the best in the world? Maybe that's the question he's still trying to answer himself and why he would want this rematch with Crawford. But when I see this news coming out of him wanting the rematch, having the elbow surgery, maybe in his mind going, okay, my elbow wasn't fresh, I wasn't able to turn my shots over. So that's why I can win this rematch. I like the competitive nature of it. I don't like the fight for him. I think the matchup's all wrong for Canelo. I think this style of fight in terms of what Terence Crawford does well is counter punching off the front and back foot, his ability to go from range with his jab, be inside with it too, protect himself, catch counter with punches. He's got just a, a different timing that Canelo really has on his punches. And then you pair it with the volume that Terence Crawford can throw and his feet and his angles. This is the bad matchup for Canelo. We've seen it already. And I just don't know if the rematch goes any differently. I think Terence Crawford would have Canelo in real trouble the second time around. And again, I'm not going to sit here and be like he knock him out cold because Canelo's got an iron chin. But if he didn't already in the first fight, he would do a number Texas instruments 83 + on Canelo if they reach rematch. I truly believe that because I think the matchup's all wrong. I think that both guys learned something about the other in that fight. And the guy that took more away as far as data and things to use was Terence Crawford. Because what Canelo brought was the best version of him and it wasn't enough. And if, if Terrence brought the best version of him and it was enough because I think both guys brought their best version. But the fight played out how the styles will always match up. Canelo is best when a guy will stand in front of him and go, upper body movement, planted feet, let's fight exclusively in the phone book. Terence Crawford is at best when he can dog walk someone, walk the dog on them, literally have them on a leash, walking around the ring and then planting his feet, throwing, circling, fainting off the back foot, then coming back counter punches. He has every tool in the shed. And I just, I think skill wise and stylistically Canelo just doesn't. And so I will watch the rematch and I'll be excited to see Canelo and see what adjustments he can make. I'm not saying Canelo can't make adjustments, but this isn't a young Canelo we're talking about. And his style of fighting I just think is all wrong for Terence Crawford. But you guys let me know what you think. This rematch is apparently being discussed right now. Negotiations underway. What is next for Terence Crawford? Because we had heard Terence Crawford was going to go to 160 and potentially fight one of the champions down there and become a four division world champion. Is he still going to do that or is he going to say, you know what, Canelo, yeah, I'll take that bag and run this back. I've beat you once. I found the blueprint, I can do it again. My opinion, he probably should take the rematch for the money that's probably going to be offered for that. But I, I don't know. You guys. Let me know if they do rematch. Who do you got and why? Is it Terr Crawford by absolute domination? That's what I think, but I don't have those answers. So guess we'll find out. All right, folks, so we are back on the way. Concept presented by the Ring magazine. And today I'm making a video I didn't know that I'd ever make. And I'm a little bit late to the party on this, but apparently it's been going on for years now and I felt like it's now time with sufficient evidence to drop this bombshell of a video. I mean, everybody, by the way, kind of already knows this, but Habib Nurmagomedov, yes, one of the greatest fighters to have ever lived. Yes. The man that has single handedly ushered in a new era of fighter from the Daga Stanie caucus. Whether it's him or Islam Makachev or Umar Nurmagomedov or a lot of the guys that haven't gotten to world titles yet. That region of MMA has become synonymous with world championships, with winning, with domination. But something else that Khabib has become synonymous with and I, it kind of baffles me that this is even the case is a bit of at least promoting crypto scams, NFT shills, and just very sketchy things in general in terms of monetary value for what it actually does and his involvement in it. It's very weird. It's been happening for years and years now, and I don't know why I haven't seen more videos talking about it. Now, before we even get into it, let me just preface this by saying there are a lot of people in MMA that are just bad people, one of which is Conor McGregor. The others, Jon Jones and others. And by the way, I've made videos about those individuals on this channel. So before, please, before you run to my comment section and say, why wouldn't you talk about McChicken like this? Why wouldn't you say this about so and so? Just listen to what's being said and respond to Versus bringing up the whataboutisms. Because Khabib is your favorite fighter. I like Khabib too, but you gotta call out weird shit when you see weird shit. It just is what it is. I don't hate Muslims. I don't hate Dagestanis, but you have to be honest when talking about these things, no matter how much you like a certain fighter. So the question is, is Habib Nurmagomedov the biggest scammer in the combat sports game? Or at least the biggest promoter of scams in the combat sports game? Maybe, maybe not. Let's take a look. The breakdown. Let's go. All right, so the reason I'm doing this video today is this morning it all kicked back off between Habib and guess who? His biggest rival, Conor McGregor. Apparently in 2025, we're reigniting the rivalries of the golden era. And by the way, Conor McGregor, just a couple of days ago, just came back on social media talking about he had taken a drug called Ebo Gain, I think, and somehow had changed himself completely. That was what Conor has been saying to the rest of us for the last couple of days. And then, just as he had said, he had changed and he was a new man and that he was back to his old self before all the addictions and drugs and everything else, he got back on the Habib Hate Train this morning when he tweeted out, there's just no way Good Guy Khabib used his late father's name as well as Dagestan's culture to scam his fans and fire sell a bunch of digital NFTs online and then delete all the content after they were sold, leaving his fans robbed of their money. There's just no way Good Guy do this. Obviously, Conor's being a little sarcastic there, but he is talking about a post that's since been deleted, and I don't know that I'll be able to find it here. I don't know if this is the same tweet because this is a tweet from six hours ago, but it's talking about what Conor brought up in the beginning. This is Habib saying the auction has ended for all papakas. Papacas have been sold. Appreciate everyone who participated in it and become the holder of this great and exclusive digital gift. Gift with space value that you can share with your friends and loved one. Thank you for trust only. On Telegram. And here's the video.

[Habib Nurmagomedov]

In Dagestan, this hat means something. It's called a papa it show where you come from. It's about rest, respect, discipline. The things my father teach me. Every man in my village grew up seeing this hat. It remind us that strengths come from tradition, not just power. My father wore it before me. One day, my students will follow what I learned. Yes, yes.

[Sponsor Voice - Odoo]

You see?

[Habib Nurmagomedov]

You understand now. Anyone can gift it. Pass on a gift to a friend, brother, a mentor, a way to show respect wherever you are. On Telegram. This is my story. This is my culture. This is my digital gift. On Telegram. Digital collectibles on the ton blockchain. Pass it on.

[Ring Magazine Host]

Okay, so there you go. Hearing Habib talk about digital collectibles on the blockchain is hilarious. Habib did not necessarily scam with this idea. It is more so that the idea has no worth and that this papaka is essentially a sticker or an emoji that you can use to react to things on Telegram. But he keeps calling it a gift when in reality it is something that he sold at auction. So in this specific case, this one's a borderline scam. He's not providing you with anything of value. He's not even providing you with what an NFT normally would be, which is like a. A digital pixelized one of one piece of art that you could keep and hold. This is more so something you have to use on a texting device and that you can send to People as a gift, I guess, or as a reaction to things, I'm not exactly sure. But like, to show your respect, you're buying an emoji, essentially, or you're buying a skin or a personalized way of interacting online, but you're buying it at auction, which is a little scummy because why wouldn't you make it a flat rate instead of having your own fans getting to a bidding war with each other over something that has no value? He keeps saying it. It's a gift with value. The only value, just like most NFTs, are how much people can run the number up and say it has value because it gets more expensive. And this one's really no different. Again, no one's being forced to buy any of this stuff, but I think people were genuinely confused on what they were buying based on the ad. Now, again, he goes through it at the end and talks about what you can do with it, but some people thought legitimately they were buy like an NFT of, of the hat, which is not the case. And also, again, it's like, what do you do once you even have this thing? And how many people knew that they were getting this specific thing versus an NFT or versus some other digital blockchain? Like, there's a lot of words that can confuse people, especially if they're not familiar with crypto. And the other part of this, which, you know, not to bring family into it, but Habib did, using his father, who is unfortunately passed on to talk about this product and selling it. And he keeps saying it's a gift to you, but he keeps making people buy it. And apparently that part of it, it feels a little scummy as far as like, hey, this is about respect. This is from my dad. And the people that know Habib and know his dad take that very seriously. And the weight behind using that for a promo is that people are going to say, wow, you know, this is, this is something that means a lot to Habib. I should buy it. You know, this is our guy. I should buy it. After so many people bought it, they sold $4.4 million worth worth of the hats in one day. Now, again, this hat, it says current round one of 290. Does that mean they're just going to keep running this thing over and over? Could you call this one a scam? Yeah, because there is no real value in it. And they told you there's value in it. They keep saying it's a real time value digital asset, when in reality it's a Sticker. It's an emoji for you to react to things on Telegram. If you don't use Telegram, then I guess it doesn't matter. But most of the people that are his fans are using Telegram and this is targeted specifically for those people. So borderline at the best, but very scummy and disingenuous, I would say, for Habib to be promoting something like this that doesn't have any value, that doesn't offer anything new to people that really is just a little worthless digital thing on their phone. It's like buying a Fortnite skin. It doesn't help you in the game. It doesn't do anything to increase the value of the game. It just is there and you paid money for it. And again, the fact that they auctioned it versus having it at a flat rate, making the fans of Habib bid against each other to jack up the price so that every piece that was sold wasn't the same value. One was higher, one was lower depending on how many people bid on it. I don't like that. I think it's just the most recent in a long list and the most controversial right now because Conor McGregor jumped in on it. But Habib or someone running Habib's account jumped in to respond to what Conor McGregor said. And he said, you absolute liar. You will always try to darken my name after you got destroyed that night, but you will never achieve that. That, yes, good guys don't do that. They don't create exclusive digital gifts. Again, why does he keep calling it a gift with real time value? It has no real time value that you can share with your friends and family. The gifts in the shape of papaka hat that symbolize traditions and culture of Dagestan people. Traditions and culture that slowly walking over this world. Whether you like that or not. What does that mean? What does that mean? That sounded that end part of the end is kind of weird. Now again, there's nothing wrong with, you know, people enjoying the culture of of Dagestan, but traditions and culture that are slowly walking over this world, whether you like it or not. I again, I don't know what that was imperring, but not everyone is going to want to take part in traditional Dagistani culture. So if that's like a we're coming for you or we're going to take over, it's a little weird, but understandable. Respect, blah, blah, blah. Now again, do I know that Habib is the one writing this? Could this be another Ali banger? Who knows? As we Know that his manager, Ali, does tweet off his account from time to time, and this could be another company as well. But yeah, again, that's just a nothing explanation from Habib. There is no real time value. It isn't a gift because people had to auction for it and they made millions on it. Usually when you give a gift, you give it, you don't make people buy it for millions of dollars. So don't know what that was. But then Connor responded, apologize this instant for using your late father's name to sell these, quote, gifts that cost your fans so much of their money. Also, to sell something means it's not a gift, you low IQ troglodyte. This is the direct opposite of what a gift means. Da da da. Dumbass. Again, Conor was supposed to have taken this spiritual healing over the last couple of months and come back. He also posted something else that's now been deleted as well. So both guys are taking turns with the deleted tweets. Today, Conor also posted a video of himself at the dentist with his mouth wide open, saying he had a friend who was an inbred who looked like that. I assume he was referring to Habib only because the beef was going on, not because I think Khabib is inbred. Is Conor McGregor the right guy to be talking about crypto scams and trying to hold Habib's feet to the fire with it? No, absolutely not. Why? Because Conor himself has partaken in the old crypto scams using his name and law. I don't know when this was, but this was. I think Connor's pinned tweet for a while. I changed the fight game, I changed the whiskey game, I changed the stout game. Now it's time to change the crypto game. This is just the beginning. Get real. Token completely and utterly fucking tanks out of the gate and Conor deletes the tweet. So this is not something that's new and this is not something that Conor hasn't done before. He clearly has. And it absolutely fucking flew. So, right message, wrong messenger. But I want to to make sure that we talk about that because there was more back and forth. As Habib said, my count is 56 former drug addicts at my rehabilitation centers in Dagestan that I treated. I'd have to think he meant to say that I created. But Habib was not personally treating drug addicts in Dagestan. I know that he does have a drug addict recovery facility and I think he actually funds it, but he wasn't personally in There, like, let's get you clean. That wasn't happening. He might have been doing some motivational speaking, but there were like doctors, I'm sure in there. But then he says, come to Dagestan, Conor. They'll take care of you here. Mexico didn't help you as far as I can see, Conor said. And who will I be meeting there? Because it won't be you. You can't scam me with your lies. You tax dodging scammer on the run. And then he puts the UAE flag there. Very interesting. Your poor family. I pray, I pray for your constant lies. I pray, I pray, I pray while you lie. You should just be honest because Allah knows all. So yeah, this sounds just like Conor and just like Habib in 2018. Right message, maybe wrong messenger. But going into this further, it's not just about what's gone on today with the latest installment of Khabib using crypto markets to enrich himself at the demise or at least at the decision making of his fan base. This is a deeper story than just that and I'm not sure that people even know it, but I want to talk about it. This has been going on for years and I have wondered, like, as much as we criticize all of these fighters, Jon Jones for beating up his wife and constantly getting into trouble and potentially having more assault charges than even that Conor McGregor with the sexual assault allegations and all the trouble he's gotten in, let's face it, MMA is a bad guy sport. So we aren't necessarily beholden to everybody being a good guy. I'm still gonna watch Jon Jones fight. Still gonna watch Conor fight. If Habib came back, I'd still watch Habib because at the end of the day, I try to separate who they are personally from what they are as fighters. But while doing that, you can still comment on who they are while being a fan of them in the cage as a fighter. And I say that because I want to talk about this thing with Habib where he is looked at as the beacon for respect, humility, good guy. Like Conor said, the good guy Habib, a man with honor, with morals that can't be compromised. And a lot of those based on his religion, yes, but just in general who he is.

[Ring Magazine Host]

Don't understand why he doesn't get more criticism for the things he does that are not shining lights of what he says he operates on what the the, the morality code he lives by or tells others to live by while doing stuff like this. It's all started back in, I think even before this tweet. But 2023, Habib was a part of a project called GMT and he had been since 2021. At the time he said, we have been developing a joint product for a long time and have finally completed it. You will soon be able to buy the NFT which will become a pass to my private club and will mine Bitcoin for you. Coffeezilla by the way, underneath this. If you need money this bad, why not step back into the ring instead of scamming your fans? And it's clear that this was a pump and dump crypto scheme. Because when you do try to click on the link to any of Habib's actual websites or or anything to do with Habib himself, it takes you to this website, which again doesn't have any of Habib's tokens on the front page, doesn't show you anything about what Khabib is saying in that tweet. It's almost like it's a completely different website now. And when you do, look at what happened when this came out. This is the same promo that Habib did in the last tweet I was referring to. Do you want to enter a closed community and get the chance to meet with me? Get the chance to meet with me. The new crypto product I'm creating in collaboration with the GMT project will be your pass. I'll tell you all the Details soon. And when the coin gets launched, it absolutely. Here's launch point 20, 23. Second time, it gets absolutely rugged. I mean, just fucking robbed. And there's no criticism for this. And again, I'm not saying that Khabib is in the back going, yes, my turn to rug pull these guys. He's probably paid a fat stack of money to promote something that the players are the bad faith actors behind this actual token, were going to scam people anyway with it. But he's promoting it. Promoting the crypto scams, even with ignorance at that point, makes you liable. And that does deserve criticism. And if this was an isolated incident, I'd be like, you know what? Habib probably just got some bad information, didn't realize what he was promoting and how badly it could affect his own fans, because I would almost guarantee his own fans were the people that were caught getting rug pulled after rug pulled after rug pulled, after rug pulled over and over on that same coin. That's only one coin or token or whatever. And for more information on the one we just took a look at, there's this article that's out by Kafkicker which talked about the GMT token from Go Mining, which again, previously, Habib had endorsed and promised investors the ability to mine bitcoin through NFT ownerships backed by constantly growing computing power. Now, remember, this is what it says. We'll mine bitcoin for you. Turns out, no, it didn't. Investors who purchased GMT tokens NFTs discovered they owned digital digital images rather than actual computing equipment. Despite promotional material suggesting tangible mining hardware, the project ultimately collapsed, leaving participants with substantial losses. Another one here in 2021. Habib's involvement with Khabib Nurigamenov NFT gold cards simply disappointed investors with the project reportedly delivering minimal or no value to those who purchase tokens. And also apparently on the blockchain, you can go back and look on OpenSea and look at the blockchain for even this NFT. And as you can see, it starts out very high. Massive dump rebound, massive dump rebound, massive dump and small rebound all the way down. It's a continuous thing that we see with Habib and his promotional activities, including the promoting of something called Game Plan, where Habib was featured as one of the fighters. I think on Game Plan. Let me actually look here. Yeah. Ready to explore the Game Plan metaverse with me? Let's go. As an honest fan of ABIB since 2013, I must sadly admit that he is indeed fallen off after I trusted him and lost $1,000. May I know how you lost your thousand? So this guy is building game plan as well and he is continually backing Habib. And again, it doesn't really stop there that that has been going on. And again you're seeing a pattern of Habib partaking in things that are clearly scams. Which makes me go okay, you may not have known it the first time and you used your name and likeness to promote this company that was waiting to rug pull your fans. But when you do it two or three or four or four times at a certain point, are you not just a scammer as well? Are you not just willfully scamming your audience by promoting a coin that is going to be rug pulled? I'm not saying Habib knows it's going to be rug pulled, but it happens every time. And this is separate from the hats and the telegram messages that we're talking about today. But this is a pattern of Habib just, you know, throwing things out there for his fans and quite frankly taking advantage of them by having his name attached to these things that are clearly at least scummy or shady and at most flat out out scams. And if you're thinking Wade, that was years ago. He's learned his lesson. He doesn't do that anymore. How about from a month ago, Here's a bib promoting something called Multibank IO an exclusive multi billion dollar global venture. Bunch of words. Powered by MBG Token. Together we're building the first regulated sporting real world assets ecosystem by tokenizing 30 plus world class Habib gems. This is my next round. So again a lot of words to say nothing but here, let him explain it.

[Habib Nurmagomedov]

Salaam alaikum everyone. I'm very happy to announce my exclusive partnership with Multibank Group, world leading finance institution together with Chairman Mr. First off.

[Ring Magazine Host]

I don't think I've ever heard of this world leading finance institution.

[Habib Nurmagomedov]

But we'll continue, we will launching something truly unique connection with sport finance and technology through by MBG token. Our plan is opening around the world 30 Habib gym. It will be promoted by multibank ecosystem and it will create a lot of opportunity for athletes and friends around the world. It will be beautiful project.

[Ring Magazine Host]

All right, so he's going to use this token to promote the opening of his 30 new gyms around the world. And I assume the profits from said token are going to go toward opening those. But then again they want you guys to get invol, they want people to sign up, get involved and let's get going. And when you Buy said multi bank IO token. When you take your hard earned money and put it into something. Habib is promoting a cryptocurrency or at least a platform on the blockchain. This is what happens. Absolute fucking rug pull again and a redistribution and a rug pull and another one and another one until there's nothing left. And it's like this is a month ago. This isn't a couple years ago. This isn't when Habib needed money. Right. Potentially you could argue, okay, before Habib had the big time fights, he needed money to help sustain him and everything else. Although there is the rumors of who was backing Habib during the time of his rise and the gym in general over in Dagestan. And I'm not trying to say that Khabib is a terrible guy, but you make terrible decisions like this and I don't really know who else to point the finger at. Now again, you can also point the finger at the dumbasses that are continually buying this slop he puts out and acting like it's going to change their lives in any way just for them to get absolutely scammed. It's like you have to bear some responsibility as someone that is looked up to and has carried themselves as the moral fighter, as the guy that makes the right decisions, as the guy that's the good guy. Right. That's not the Conor McGregor is doing all the things that are haram and doing all the things that are, you know, sending him to hell in a hand basket or even Jon Jones, who obviously does a lot of those same things. Habib is, and again has kind of been the selling point of Habib is the man of dignity, respect, honor, won't take advantage of his people, won't do things to promote gambling, won't put those on his platforms. And then in contrast, you see stuff like this, which I don't really have an answer for. And again, I'm kind of bouncing back and forth on the timeline. But here is Habib promoting something called ICE Open Network. ICE Blockchain. Pioneering the future of blockchain technology, bringing the power of Web3 to everyone. Their mission of putting control, priv ownership back in the hands of the people deeply aligns with my values of respect, independence and empowerment. With growing a community of 20 million users, Ice Open Network is making a real impact and I'm excited to help them inspire even more people to join this movement. Now again, that all sounds nice, but in reality this is what has left of the people that are still partaking in the ICE Network and this is their Reddit for the public members of what I can find with Ice Network. This is from three months ago. So it seems like I've lost all hope in Ice Network chain is definitely ice cold. No users. Bitfrost is a joke. Please change my mind. I want to believe I'll be able to afford a sausage one day. I don't know what that is. The ICE Team shadow banned my two posts. Haha. Yeah. The ICE Team tricked ICE holders into bridging their ice tokens from BNB Smart chain onto Ion Liquid chain and unilaterally disabled reverse bridging. What's really been happening to this token? Is it even worth buying at this point? Now this is from the a Reddit community called crypto scams. This person says from three months ago. Hello guys. Warning ICE Open Network is a scammy token. The ICE team lured holders into bridging their tokens to a liquid chain and then disabled reverse bridging. There has to be again just some responsibility and at least a light being shined on this. For Habib Nurmagomedov, this is outside of the character that he portrays to the rest of the MMA community. And that's why I'm surprised. I don't see more people talking about this, to say the least. And I don't know really how else to bring this up other than just to again have it out out there. Like it's not just the papakas, it's not just the crypto scam. It's not just that Habib was allegedly potentially trying to evade his taxes of 3.4 million in Russia, which is why maybe you could see him doing stuff like this. But it's also stuff that has nothing to do with cryptocurrency. Something like this. Today marks a defining moment in our history as we democratize real estate investing. We're launching Waheed Private Real Estate in the United States. Now this is something that Habib has been partnered with with across the world Waheed Real Estate, who I guess their whole thing is we don't really believe in interest rates or anything like that. But this company has also been charged by the SEC for misleading its clients. So I gotta talk about this. It's just another example. Washington, D.C. february 10, 2022. The securities and Exchange Commission today charged New York based robo advisor Waheed Invest LLC with making misleading statements and breaching its fiduciary duty and for compliance failures related to its its Sharia advisory business. According to the SEC's order, from September 2018 through July 2019, Waheed Invest advertised the existence of its own property funds when no such funds existed, and also promised investors that they would periodically rebalance their advisory accounts, but they did not do so. The SEC order further finds that when Waheed Investment ultimately launched a property ETF in July 2019, it used its client's advisory assets to seed the EFT without providing disclosure to clients of any conflicts of interest. The order also finds that Waheed Invest marketed itself as providing advisory services compliant with Islamic or Sharia law, including marketing the importance of its income purification process on its website. Despite these representations, the order finds that Waheed Invest did not adopt and implement written policies and procedures addressing how it would assure Sharia compliance an ongoing basis. So again, you just see this stuff over and over where he's linked to some very odd and peculiar, somewhat scummy businesses and where he sometimes is promoting them, sometimes non stop. And I feel like that's a problem that we should talk about at least if we're going to address everything that's wrong with the Conor McGregor's of the world and the Jon Jones of the world who yes, have done terrible things. And you could say if you're going to play moral police, they've done worse things. At least allegedly on Conor McGregor's case with alleged, alleged rape and Jon Jones domestic assault and you know, hitting the pregnant lady with his car and whatever was supposed to have happened a couple of months ago where John maybe crashed a car and left the scene. But at the same time, should we not keep the same energy for someone like Habib, who was supposed to be the beacon, supposed to be the most honorable of all of us? I think you have to be able to keep the same energy with everyone has nothing to do with his religion, has nothing to do with where he's from. It has to do with his words and again, his culture, meaning one thing and his actions in some cases doing another. I could be wrong. There could be other guys out there that are promoting so many more NFT scams or crypto scams or fraudulent companies or partnering with people that are running fraudulent companies or any of this stuff. But Habib might have the track record, he might have the most consistent scammy, scummy type of company promotions over the years, four or five of them at least, and some still going on. I mean, I just saw another one where he talked about promoting this company, Arena 2, and that one seems to be a whole lot of bullshit as well. Again, this is on the Cathy article. It says the announcement arrives amid fresh controversy surrounding Nurmagomedov's endorsement of Arena 2, another blockchain based sports platform that allows fans to influence live matches through token voting. A social media Post promoting the Platform 6 aside football tournament immediately drew backlash from Follow Backlash from followers Quote Guys, let's play in this tournament together. Magmedov posted promoting Arena 2, which launched its social media presence in October 2024 and maintains fewer than 3,000 followers. Critics quickly responded with accusations of hypocrisy. One user commenting Haram, a reference to activities prohibited under Islamic law It's like right in front of your face. The guy's doing it on purpose now. Again, I would have understood if it was one or two times he had done this, but it's on purpose. It's right in front of you. That to me is scummy and it's bullshit to act like he is the arbiter of morality and know respect and doing things the right way if this is the type of stuff you're promoting. Is this newest one with the Papakas the biggest scam he's been involved in? Probably not. It made him a lot of money and people bought it. And again, if you are buying these type of things purely because you're a fan of Habib and they offer you no real value, then you kind of get what you're paying for in that case. But I can't really make sense of the over and over and over crypto scams and how in any way that reflects the man Habib purports to be and the values that he holds. That's just keeping it 100 across the board. Nothing to do with anything in his personal life, nothing to do with anything in his religion. Just actions and words. I feel like they matter when you talk about these things. And if you're going to call out people like Conor McGregor, which we all have multiple videos on this channel of me doing that, you're going to call out Jon Jones, which we all have multiple videos on this channel of me doing that. I think you have to keep the same energy for Habib. They're making that off. And his constant promoting of crypto scams and other shady business dealings. There's not many good guys in combat sports. It's a sport full of bad guys and that's fine. But let's not act like in this rivalry of good versus evil, evil that anyone is squeaky clean in this game. Those are my thoughts. I think Khabib is probably one of the biggest, at least promoters of crypto scams in combat Sports. Floyd Mayweather's probably up there as well. Connor's definitely up there. There's others that I'm probably not even thinking of. But you guys let me know what you think if I got this right or am I just completely off? Habib is innocent. Everyone else is running his accounts. He has nothing to do with any of this and he's just caught in the crossfire. I. I have to think he's not as aloof as you guys say he is when you're like, oh, that's all I Ali doing it. Oh, that's all his advisors doing it. No, I think Kabib knows a lot more what's going on in his own world and his own business than you guys give him credit for. He's not ignorant. He might be willfully ignorant, but he's not ignorant. That's just what I think. You guys let me know in the comments what happens next in this ongoing beef with Conor and Khabib. Are we talking White House fight? No. These guys are just going to argue for the rest of their lives. But do I think Khabib is a crypto scammer? Yeah, I do. Do I think he should stop doing it?

[Sponsor Voice - Degree Cool Rush]

Yeah.

[Ring Magazine Host]

Yeah, I do. But if you guys are dumb enough to buy it, you're going to keep getting this result anyway. Does he do another one? I don't have those answers, but guess we'll find out. All right, so we are back on the way Concept presented by the Ring magazine and today I'm starting to question myself. What is the possibility that Jake Paul might not be as easy of a fight for Anthony Joshua as I. PCs.

[Ring Magazine Host]

Previously thought. What if Jake makes this a little more difficult than we imagine? I'm not trying to talk nonsense and I'm not even trying to be a contrarian. I am just looking at what I have seen in the last couple of days and it's starting to make me wonder, am I wrong about Jake versus aj? Not like I think Jake will win the fight, because I think, I think that's nonsense. But something's going on and I can't quite figure it out. But Jake has a secret weapon. Apparently he has a couple of them. And I'm about to expose them right here for you guys. And then I want you to decide, what do you think? Will this help him? Will these secret weapons, will these things he was trying to keep quiet, will they help him beat AJ or is it too little, too late? Both figuratively and literally? What do I mean? The breakdown. Let's go. But folks, before we get into the breakdown, I want to say a big thank you to the sponsor of today's video, First Phorm. That's right, folks.

They are that good. So thank you to first form for sponsoring this video. And one more time, make sure you guys click that link in the description to get your products today. Now, now let's get back to the breakdown. All right, so like I said, Jake Paul got a couple of tricks up his sleeve for this Anthony Joshua fight. Now again, does it matter what Jake does when we're talking about a fight that was just booked a week and a half ago and now is about three and a half weeks from happening? Can you get good enough as prepared as you need to be for an Anthony Joshua fight? If you're Jake Paul who hasn't fought someone in the top, realistically the top 50, I know Tommy Fury is ranked in the top 50, but anyone that is a top 50 fighter even in your weight class, let alone a top ten top five heavyweight in Anthony Joshua, who was a two time heavyweight champion of the world, can you get prepared for a guy like that? If you brought in, let's just say a deity, freaking Zeus, Hercules, whoever to prepare you, could you do it? I don't think that Jake would have enough time seeing as he's already undersized, he's not a real heavyweight and this is Anthony fucking Joshua we're talking about. But I will say there were rumors going around that Jake was not taking this fight as seriously as he he needed to, that Jake was dilly dallying, flying to go see F1 in Miami after his press conference and then going to see his girl all the way in the Netherlands if she's trying to qualify for I think the Olympics or something else. There was this post from his girlfriend. I don't know if again this was in the Netherlands or where it was at or maybe this is an old picture, but Jake flying around the world when he has a fight in about four weeks is probably not the greatest look and it doesn't seem to make it look like he's taking it as serious as he needs to locked away in the gym of Puerto Rico. Now again, that could have been a different picture, that could have been something else, but that's pretty shocking to see. With that being said, I want to push back on that because I do think Jake has taken this as seriously as he absolutely needs to because this is not only the toughest fight of his career, it's the most dangerous to the longevity of his career, to his health and well Being. And so to do something like that, you need to bring in the best help possible to get ready. We already heard that Jake Paul was preparing for Anthony Joshua by sparring the guy that Anthony Joshua was about to fight in, Cassius Cheney. This gentleman right here, who was 243 from Bemore, aka the DMV, and apparently is a top 100 heavyweight, even though it doesn't say he's actually a top 100 heavyweight, but that was what he was being marketed as by Eddie Hearn and aj. Apparently, Jake brought him into camp. Who's the opponent that you were supposed.

[Sponsor Voice - Odoo]

Who's that?

[Ring Magazine Host]

What's his name? Cassius.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

Okay, and where was that supposed to be?

[Ring Magazine Host]

Already whooped that ass. Sorry, Cassius. Oh, damn.

[Sponsor Voice - Degree Cool Rush]

What's that supposed to be?

[Ring Magazine Host]

He got a broken knee right now. Again, a smart move from Team Paul to go. Okay, let's see if we can get a guy in that AJ was going to fight. If you remember, he was supposed to be a surprise fight on the recent Ring 4 Night of the Champions card. And with that being said, we talk about Jake dropping Cassius Cheney in sparring, and apparently Logan Paul dropped a video on his channel and showed a little bit more insight into this. This guy who's sparring is not like his normal sparring partners. This is a big dude, big strong guy. And I have to say, Jake's cajones can no longer be denied. We're a family who always defies the odds and do what people say we can't do. So I'm riding with my brother through and through. I love this kid. He inspires me. He should inspire you to do that you did not think was possible, because that's been the story of our careers. He's going to do it. This fight, December 9th, 19th, I believe in Miami, Florida. It's gonna be great. I think he just knocked him out, knocked him down or something. So you can see a couple of things here. Logan does show an interesting thing here. He shows two clips of Jake sparring this guy. And the first one is, this is Cassius Cheney, which, again, we're not gonna see much here, man. I know I'm the king of making a lot out of a little here. But you see, Jake just. Essentially, we're turning Logan down, down here. Just double jabbing his way in. Cassius, those high guard, straight back. I mean, nothing really to take away from that, right? It's just Jake getting, you know, into the corner and double jabbing his way out, which is, you know, good to do, right? You don't want to get. Get pressed into a corner by aj. Although I do think, call me a bit of a, you know, a conspiracy theorist. I do think if AJ is somehow to put Job Jake back on the back foot into a corner like this, that the overhand is coming out, the jab to the body overhand will be a weapon that Jake looks to a lot in this fight. He may spam it the entire fight because it's his best weapon and it's one that potentially can change the fight if it's thrown up, you know, at the right time. And AJ doesn't see it, Jake could hurt him with that. But that's really all I see Jake being able to do. And that's not a dismissal of Jake's skills, whatever. It's just he has an experience, experienced levels in this game, at least not under the bright lights. But you also see this clip. I think it just knocked him out, knocked him down or something. So you see Cassius limping. Jake did say he twisted his knee up or something. I'm not sure what actually happened here. Did he drop him in sparring? Did he drop him and he landed awkward because he dropped him on the knee? Was there a slip? I don't know. I'm not gonna sit here and act like Jake dropped him or didn't because we don't have the footage of that. And it was probably something where it was like, logan, don't show the footage. But it is, you know, up for speculation. Jake says he. He dropped him or at least he hurt him and whipped that ass and then twisted his knee up or something. Regardless, my whole point is that they're. They're at least doing something here, and that's what I want to see for this fight. They're trying to make something out of nothing in the time they have, and not just by sparring. Cassius Cheney. But then Jake went and got some legit heavyweights into camp, and I can't even believe he pulled this off and flew everyone out and got it all worked out. I don't know how many days they're gonna be there. I don't know if they're a part of camp, but wasn't just going out to spar. Number Ranked 162 heavyweight in the world. He went out and got a trio of destroyer heavyweights. I have to say, this is insane stuff. This picture, I guess, was on his story, but Ring magazine also posted on their Twitter, Jake Paul, sparring In the gym with heavyweights Jared Big Baby Anderson, Frank Sanchez and Lawrence Accoli to prepare for his fight against Anthony Joshua next month. Now, this picture is fucking insane. Number one, you do have legitimate heavyweights there. Frank San Sanchez, probably the most legitimate of them all right now the Cuban Flash is 25 and one with 18 knockouts. He did get beat by Cavio, but he's a legit heavyweight. Sorry, Ads going crazy. Legit heavyweight. Got a win over Ed FA a Jagba, what we thought was going to be America's Great Hope next. Great hope for heavyweight and Jared Anderson, he may still be. We'll see. I, I, I don't know. He's, he's 26 and came off the really bad loss to Martin Bacoli, but got a win back after that. We'll see where, where Jared Anderson's career, career goes. Hasn't went over Charles Martin, but that's heavyweight. And then we have Lawrence Akoli, who was, excuse me, a world champion at cruiserweight, which I don't know how he ever made cruiserweight because he's big. As I did a commentary with him on one of the influencer cards and the dude was taller than me and looked like he was all of 260 pounds, which is pretty much what he is now. And he's 22 and 1, just moved up to heavyweight a couple of fights ago. So these are legit heavyweights that Jake has in camp. These are, these aren't just heavyweight cans that he's coming in and sparring with now. When you look at this picture, the first thing that jumps off the page is that Jake looks like a youngster that hasn't quite fully grown into heavyweight, when in reality he, this is as big as he's going to get. Well, I shouldn't say that, who knows? But this is the biggest that Jake is, He's not naturally this height or this size. Like he's a big dude for light heavyweight, but he's not a heavyweight. This is why the whole thing is preposterous that Jake is going up to challenge Anthony Joshua because Joshua looks like a Coley. He does. And he looks like Anderson and he looks like Frank Sanchez. Real heavyweights of this era, Jake looks like a heavyweight from the early 1900s where heavyweight champions were like 212 pounds. And the second thing you notice out of this is that Jake looks like he has just gone through a war. And everybody else is chilling, which again, it could mean that Jake got smacked up in this morning. It could mean that Jake is doing Shark Tank rounds. Can you imagine doing Shark tanks rounds against Jared Anderson, Frank Sanchez and Lawrence Aoli? Again, unless you're a top 10 heavyweight in the world, that's fucking insane to even think about. And even then Jake's doing it, I gotta give him credit. This is the, the way you would want to see him look while approaching the Anthony Joshua fight. Now doesn't mean anything. All these things that I'm bringing up doesn't mean that he'll be ready for aj, no. And yes, you can, you can see it in practice and potentially try to mirror some of your game plan using these guys and their size and their reach and all that to try to emulate aj. But I just think it's a different thing under the lights. And honestly, no offense to Jared Anderson, Frank Sanchez, Lawrence A. Coley, A.J. probably knock them all out. Lawrence would probably have the best chance of making the fight a bit more of a point fighting kind of, I don't want to say boring, but you know, the way Lawrence Akoli fights, I think AJ would probably beat them all. To be honest with you. You never know. AJ lost Andy Ruiz, so maybe not, I don't know. But the point is those guys I would think have a chance. I don't think Jake would, would beat any of those guys in a ten round boxing fight. Maybe I'm wrong and it's the right work, but I just don't think it's going to be enough. But again, there's more because again I kind of wondered for myself, like how does Jake even prepare for someone like this? What other secret weapons could he be hiding? And again, you see the heavyweights he's sparring, you see potentially the idea behind what he wants to do as he's backing himself into that corner and maybe jab to the body over him. But there's another part of this apparently rumored to be that Jake has been working on a secret weapon in the form of a coach coming to his camp to help him prepare for aj. And this comes from talk sport boxing. I want you guys to listen to this and tell me what you think.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

But Jim, can I just throw something into the mix? Something that I heard earlier on today? Actually there is a very famous trainer of heavyweights that is working now with Jake Paul for this fight with Anthony Joshua. All will be revealed very, very soon.

[Sponsor Voice - Total Wireless]

Soon.

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

I'm just gonna throw that little dangle, that little carrot out there in the uk. He's based in London.

[Ring Magazine Host]

Has he been in the studio?

[Sidemen Member (Likely Ethan or Harry)]

I'm not gonna go anymore. I'm not Gonna go anymore. He'll buckle under some direct questioning during the break.

[Ring Magazine Host]

Simon, if you weren't having. Okay, so you hear it there. A famous heavyweight boxing trainer based in London is working with Jake to prepare for Anthony Joshua. Now, the first two people that came to my mind, and I'm trying to think of people that have affiliation with or around or against Anthony Joshua that would have some insight as to how to prepare for him, how to beat him, what his weaknesses are, what his strengths are. The first person I thought of, and I think this one's a bit more of a far fetched kind of idea than it really is something to delve deeper into it would be none other than AJ's former coach, Mr. Ben Davidson, a guy that helped Tyson Fury come back out of retirement in those first fights with Deontay Wilder, a guy that helped AJ when he left Derrick James in Texas for a bit. Right. I think that was when he made the transition back. Ben Davidson, obviously a guy that would know a lot about aj, a lot of his strengths, a lot of his weaknesses, and he is somewhat famous for working with heavyweights outside of those guys or Billy Joe Saunders and some other fighters as well. I think Josh Taylor as well. So that would be a guy that's, that's potentially being brought in to work with Jake. But I, I don't know that Ben Davidson would do that. I don't know if just as AJ leaves to go train with, and this is why I say Ben Davidson, AJ has left to go and train with Usyk's team. Left Ben Davidson go train with Usyk's team. I don't know, because their relationship is so good. I don't know that Ben Davidson would just turn code on AJ and help somebody prepare for him. Don't think that would happen unless it was like a Tyson Fury who he already had a relationship with. So that leaves another individual, that leaves Mr. Don Charles. Don Charles, British boxing trainer known for coaching Derek Chisora, but also known for coaching one Daniel Dubois, who just so happened, as you see here in this little, very small picture down on the right side here, just so happened to as of earlier this year, absolutely chin and stop AJ in dramatic, epic fashion in AJ's triumphant return after AJ stopped stop Francis Ngannou and had all his confidence back and was fighting for a world title. And Daniel Dubois said, no, sir, not tonight. If this is true, it makes things very interesting. Don Charles was in a pretty much chaotic camp. You guys remember with Daniel Dubois, it was like Daniel Dubois dad was also kind of training him, which was an issue with Shane McGuigan when he was there. And then Don Charles came in and it was chaos in the corner and Don was trying to code and couldn't really do it. And a lot of people thought that Don didn't get his fair shake when it came to Daniel Dubois and got a lot of the blame for Dubois losing to Usyk just a couple of months ago. But he is a very good trainer and a guy that just worked on a game plan to beat Anthony Joshua. Now, again, Daniel dubois is also 64 and £250 with a crazy reach. So you can't teach Jake Paul that. What will Don Charles teach to Jake? If that's the guy I'm assuming here, I don't know. What will he be able to implement into the game plan that would even allow Jake a chance to beat Anthony Joshua? That I don't know. That I'm still trying to figure out. Because as of right now, I genuinely don't have any answers for what Jake's going to be able to do. I keep going back to like watching fights with him and guys like Tyron Woodley the first time around and the Tommy Fury fight and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Fight and the Anderson Civil fight, fights where I felt he would be challenged to a degree. Guys like Andre August and Ryan Borland, I love Mike, but Mike Perry, they didn't challenge, challenge him like that. And the times that Jake has been challenged as a boxer when he's had to box not only forward but back, he struggled a little bit, right? He won the fight with Anderson Silva, having to do a bit of that great jab, want him to fight. He won the fight with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Because Chavez didn't really throw any punches. But when Tommy stuck it on him with a jab with a reset was longer than Jake's, it frustrated him, it broke his timing. I'm not saying that's the same Jake Paul, but I just wonder what happened. Have you change? If it's just straight in and straight out, I punch, you punch. Anthony Joshua is going to get this done early. And I'm. I'm talking Francis Ngannou early. And I think Jake's a better boxer than Francis by a long shot, but he just doesn't have the physical advantages necessary to keep AJ off him unless he invites an inside fight. And then I think you're in trouble as well. And I may be breaking news with this Don Charles reference, I have no idea. But I want you guys to tell me what you think. Down below is Jake's secret weapon. Whoever this coach coaches that has experience at the top level of the UK heavyweight boxing scene, is he gonna make a difference? Is Jake sparring Frank Sanchez, Jared Anderson and Lawrence A. Coley? Is that gonna make a difference? The fact that Jake potentially allegedly dropped the next opponent or Anthony Joshua in camp, is that gonna make a difference? I don't have those answers, but on December 19th live on Netflix. Guess we'll find out.
