Khabib Nurmagomedov helping Luke Rockhold train
After staying away from the sport for a while, Luke Rockhold is finally returning to the octagon to face Paulo Costa. The Middleweight fighter has been training at AKA amidst the rumors of his return.
In a video, fans can see Rockhold grapple with Nurmagomedov. ‘The Eagle’ is seen controlling Rockhold on the ground. This experience can be crucial for Rockhold.
Since his retirement, Nurmagomedov has put on some weight, which almost makes him an ideal training partner for Rockhold. In his career, ‘The Eagle’ was known for putting immense pressure, taking his opponents down and for his vicious submissions and ground and pound.
