Javier Mendez recaps Daniel Cormier’s UFC 230 win, Khabib’s UFC 229 brawl | Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show


Daniel Cormier’s striking coach, Javier Mendez, joins Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show to talk about preparing Daniel Cormier for UFC 230 against Derrick Lewis, including his back injury spurred by a sneeze. Mendez also provides some insight into Cormier’s potential retirement after taking on Brock Lesnar, without a third bout against Jon Jones. Mendez and Helwani then dive into the news about Floyd Mayweather (12:00) agreeing to a Rizin card in Japan instead of fighting Khabib Nurmagomedov. They also look back on UFC 229, (14:00) witnessing Khabib’s post-fight antics inside the arena and talks about the fine and suspension that he could be facing from the state of Nevada after the dramatics in the arena after his bout with Conor McGregor. Mendez also looks ahead to a potential Khabib-Conor rematch.

  1. Khabib vs. Tony. Not a Conor rematch, definitely not Floyd unless it’s MMA, do GSP later. That’s the fight that needs to happen.

  2. da fuck javier thinks khabib be that big payday 😂😂😂 no one wants see that no one paying for it he’s no conor he fights like a pussy no boxer

  3. The UFC is playing Cain dirty! The UFC always making shady moves against Mexicans. You can tell they're not interested in that market anymore.

  4. Javier is the Goat of mma coaches. Think about it he has produced 4 ufc champions. Luke, DC, Cain, and Khabib!
