Muhammad responded, “I think that’s one of the reasons why they’re all successful. I feel like, when Khabib walks into the room, it’s like an army. We all get up, we all stand in line, he’ll stand in line, he’ll point to who’s hard sparring in the cage… Most teams have a sparring day… For them, they’re doing everything every day…”
