Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the greatest fighters to be a part of MMA and has an incredible professional MMA record of 29-0. Today the fighter is known across the world and has achieved much success in life. However, things were not always pleasant for the fighter, as he has worked very hard to achieve this success.

During a recent interview, Khabib Nurmagomedov recalled the hardships he faced during his younger days in Russia. Nurmagomedov said, “I gave it my all. For instance, we never had a shower with hot water. There was only one shower for seventy people.”

‘And when we had our training camps in the mountains, somewhere around 2005, there was no shower there. We bathed in spring water. Also, there was no washing machine. We had to walk a hundred meters to relieve ourselves. We slept in the attic: seventy people in the stacks.”
