As 2022 draws to a close, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to state that the year belonged to the ‘Top G’ Andrew Tate. The former kickboxing world champion rose to prominence for what was initially misconstrued to be his misogynistic attitude towards women.
This notion was later clarified through a number of viral clips which illustrated his ideologies and standpoint. And although the year has been filled with multiple controversies for Tate, the 36-year-old has amassed a stellar amount of wealth from his fame.
In spite of his rise, which is accredited to his insights on contentious subjects, Tate’s background in mixed martial arts validates his opinions on the sport and the outcomes of the sport as well.
The British/American was even vying for a boxing contest with KSI or Jake Paul before the year came to an end. However, the bout didn’t come to fruition.
With Tate possessing a wealth of knowledge on the topic of combat sports, the Top G once passed his verdict as to why the most influential and watched MMA fight of all time between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov played out in the manner it did.

Andrew Tate speaks about Khabib Nurmagomedov!
The infamous encounter between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor took place over four years ago. The bout garnered the attention of millions worldwide as two of the top lightweights of the year were going to stand toe-to-toe against each other.
Nurmagomedov emerged victorious, thanks to a neck crank/rear-naked choke in the fourth round of their contest. Suffice it to say, the Eagle had a sublime performance, nullifying the striking of the former two-weight world champion.
Andrew Tate, who was an observer of the clash, shared his thoughts on the fight between the pair and stated his reasoning as to why the Russian reigned supreme.
Tate said:
“I knew Khabib was going to win. Khabib is a strict Muslim. I believe in the power of Allah. Train, Allah, train, Allah, train, Allah. There’s nothing else to his life. Do you wanna go spend millions of dollars? No. Do you wanna go club? No. Do you want girls? No. Train and Allah. That’s it. How the f*** you gonna beat that guy?”
Tate’s point of view is precise. In a sport where there is no room for errors, commitment and discipline are the foremost traits to possess for any aspiring fighter.
Provided you have these attributes instilled in you from a young age, the odds are you will stand tall in your quest for victory.
What is the current scenario of Andrew Tate?
Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate were recently initially arrested from their residence in Romania for their involvement in an alleged human trafficking ring. In addition, there remains an ongoing investigation regarding potential r*pe charges as well.
And reports have now clarified that while the initial assumption was that the brothers were arrested for their roles in human trafficking, it is now stated that this is not the case. The reason he was arrested was for suspicions surrounding money laundering.
