Javier Mendes Reveals the Dark Side of Coach Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Hardcore Training Sessions

The Dagestani fighter, Khabib Nurmagomedov, is on most of the fight fans’ GOAT list in the MMA world. The UFC also recently inducted the Russian fighter into their prestigious Hall of Fame. After retiring as an undefeated fighter in the sport, Nurmagomedov is now acting as a coach for young and upcoming fighters.

Fans saw a side of ‘the Eagle’ they had never seen before in a recent video posted by his former coach, Javier Mendez. Mendez shared a video of Khabib training fellow fighters in the gym and putting them through strenuous exercises and different drills.

The former UFC lightweight champion showed no mercy to his students, forcing them to train uninterruptedly with very few breaks. Thus, many would agree that there is no doubt on whether Khabib is a terrific coach. His work on fellow Dagestani fighter Islam Makhachev is a testament to the same.

However, in the clip posted by Mendez, Khabib used the motto ‘Shut up and train’ and put the fellow fighters through vigorous workout routines. At the start of the clip, Mendes said to the camera,” Coach Khabib don’t allow it. No passing out allowed.” Also, he called Nurmagomedov a ‘bully’ and said he acts like a ‘mean guy.’

Khabib’s cousin, Umar Nurmagomedov, was also present for The Eagle’s intense training and told the camera, “this guy (Khabib) don’t have pity. One day he’s gonna kill everybody.”

‘The Eagle’ does not play around in the gym, and his teammates’ reaction is proof of this. In a recent video that has gone viral on the internet, coach Khabib’s pupils shared what it’s like to be training under the Hall of Famer.

The exhausted fighter said, “every day he kill everybody. I don’t know why”.
