on Twitter he's like a raging Maniac so I'm just like who is this on Twitter we mostly respond right it's not like we're crossing some lines or we're we're like mean to somebody specifically what we do is we respond and we respond in a certain way right understood so it's like a joint account yeah we discuss we discuss and depending on what we talk about that's what the answer goes in yeah because I was going to say you guys do a really great job yeah I believe that I think so because maybe you can run

mine too yeah we can talk about it okay cool might help me win over some people um potentially potentially there's hope there's always there's always hope you can never lose hope thanks big uh if your energy could emit a color what color would it be white possibly probably white clean pure B yeah it's like uh makes everything light I like that that's beautiful um if your team could describe you as a person what would they say okay I'm gonna ask the team uh hey team if you could describe maged as a person what would you

say open uh bright clean person white light that's what it is I love it I sometimes I'm a little slow I didn't put two and two together so I didn't know Maga was short for magamed yeah so I thought they were talking about Trump oh and I was like I'm very confused here as an American it was very confusing concept I did not know that yeah well there you go [Laughter] we support Trump so you can call me that and mean whatever you mean perfect beautiful uh okay what is your best characteristic I think it's

honesty I always try to be honest it's a great characteristic to have do you believe in dinosaurs that so just so you know FYI yeah the click means no they don't have to say the word no they just go that means no yeah they're not are dinosaurs do you believe in them yes no no right they're they're they're messing with us like did they do see think that they ever existed no yeah there I don't even know never thought about that yeah cuz I mean how would they even know how dinosur sound somebody just thought

it up I mean they can come up with anything these days literally anything 100% I was wondering if he's ever been to the Museum of Natural History they have dinosaur skeletons there I don't think they're real I mean I think I saw it somewhere maybe in Dubai I think they have something like that and dinosur like the the a museum where they have like a skeleton it's not but but I think it's just made up honestly or maybe it's real I don't I mean who cares it's the past yeah who cares come I care I

think about it all the time we'll Circle back to it okay okay you don't seem like a flashy guy or or someone that likes extravagant things just try to be a Simple Man honest man but if there was any anything that you would be interested in like a submarine or a yacht dinosaur skeleton what would it be for now the dream that I have is Championship Bel and then we'll think about Yachts yeah okay and dinosaurs if you could be a girl for a day what's the only what's the first thing you would do a

a what for a day a girl you don't have to answer if you don't I don't even want to think about it is it really that bad [Music] I mean it's not just a bad question it's just like a bad thought uh what is the best advice another fighter has ever given you oh wow Francis andano probably gave me the best advice ever we were sparring and then after a hard sparring session I got up on a on a treadmill and I started running running really hard and he came up to me and he said

wow you work so hard it's very important to beat yourself here so that you can beat other there's an the Octagon I like that yeah if you can beat yourself you can beat anybody can beat anybody we're we're our worst critic and our hardest opponent than JS that's exactly how it works out do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed closed yeah is it cuz he's afraid comfor no it's just for Comfort cuz it's uncomfortable CU he doesn't know what's in there could be anything it could be culture waiting to attack you it's

not that scary he's scary SC when he told remember when I asked him I said what do you do to avoid a woman's affections if she's trying to hug you and he said I'll let my coach handle it do you think I'm scary when I met him at the at the I thought you liked me I do I like you very much no but like you have a an aura very like he has a presence he's like I'm here and when you're trying to sleep and he's in your closet that's terrifying especially when I was

learning I was like let's learn like a combination or a tactic or something and he thought he's like oh and he like tie her hands behind her back and kick her knees out that's terrifying are oranges called orange because they are the color orange or is an orange called an orange because oranges are orange because it's orange okay great would you rather a permanent wedgie or socks that slide down in your shoes just delete this just cut this out cut that one out okay I cut that one out so just a socks just a socks

these crazy questions got to stop what is something different you believe you would bring to the light heavyweight division as a champion the most special thing about me as a UFC champion is that UFC will not need to protect me they can put me anywhere against anyone at any time for a fight I'm ready to fight it's ready y Ready for War 100% you've been training with volov vov really likes power slap and he was a coach in power slap would you you ever consider potentially being a coach par I could potentially coach and maybe

help them do like a really good slap yeah but for anybody to slap me no way no no yeah a coach potentially as a as a as a coach only as a coach as a coach okay if you could build yourself as a sandwich what would it look like there a really hard question about this sand just thinking about it yeah really good tasty meat good he you know he has a a coffee shop he owns a coffee shop oh I didn't know that what are you thinking he owns a coffee shop you own a

coffee shop what is it called Uncle Uncle uncle's coffee shop Co coffee shop really yeah I'll give you a taste I have it here it's my dream is to own a coffee shop Cat Cafe Cat Cafe that's with monkeys you could come when your dream comes true we'll come drink coffee in your coffee shop really okay how long ago did you get the coffee shop coffee shop about 2 three years it's functioning as a coffee shop really does he love coffee you love coffee no latte guy Americano do you have something called like dag dagani

like the dagani have like Americano there's all different type of coffee there you know but uh I specifically love espresso especially before practice hard practice I'll shooto try not to drink the the women type of coffees I guess like lattes and cappuccinos is considered like girly oh so you don't put milk you just drink it black do you have do you okay well you need if I come you have to have like oat milk for you just for for a woman we'll do an exception for sure wow look at that he has a coffee shop

that's really cool that's really cool you know that uh Su is saying that mahaj kala in dagistan is considered to be the the world capital of coffee really yeah according to really there's a lot of different type of coffee specifically like coffee drinks that you can have really I just got really into um making my own cuz we went to Saudi Saudi Arabia and they have the Arabic coffee and I've been trying to recreate it but I'm not very good better coffee really you gotta let me in your country and I'll try it what's the

last name you have to let me into your country it's I can try it maybe Ali could put out a tweet tweet now now we're going to do whatever we have to do to let you in yeah tell Ali to tweet to tweet about it [Laughter] these are fan questions I asked a bunch of fans I was like live on Tik Tok I asked them these are all questions I really wanted to ask you I just had to pick maybe like two or three is that okay okay two three how many two or three well

it's in English so okay um this one says how is it fighting during Ramadan [Music] you know what kind of feelings could it be this was an opportunity that was given to us and this was a decision that we came up with that that we're going to take this opportunity and not going to let it go so we have to do it but other than that obviously it's not a good thing for us to fight during Ramadan but we have to do it this is a job right well you're here is this you're you're doing

great I'm excited for you okay next question oh well yeah Ramadan again okay uh oh how okay this is from Adrien how many Nina dramas would it take to beat you that's a army an army of Nas you don't think with all my tactical elbows like I couldn't do damage you'd have to get to me first yeah so that's never going to happen next oh yeah I keep forgetting they're not okay um by will this is from will what is your mental preparedness for a fight [Music] you know mentally this is a whole different preparation

because I'm looking at this as the most important fight in my life this is a fight for the title against an active Champion so this is not something I describe in words it's just a whole different train of thought and just like mental preparation is on a different level for this one what is your beard routine easy I have my own Barber I go there every month really that's it no oils no special like brush or anything just go to my barber that he has a great beard thank you so much that's what my coach

says as well yeah the color too is natural yeah this is natural one more we're done then we're done one more if you could have any animal as a training partner what would it be well let's say a dinosaur okay everyone and that is my interview with anive magamed an magam Med Maga anive so thank you thank you
