Joe Rogan cites Khabib Nurmagomedov’s reason for dominance in MMA

Joe Rogan explained on JRE 1923 2/ Mike Baker why the Dagestani fighters are performing so well. He cited being religious as the reason why they are disciplined and hence dominant. He said, “They don’t have the distractions that a lot of these guys do. They are not partying.”

Furthermore, he added, “Like the guys that are from Khabib Nurmagomedov’s camp are some of the most dominant fighters. They wear their hair all exactly the same way. They practice. All they care about is family, religion, training. They don’t chase girls, they don’t drink. They are just training constantly like insanely dedicated to their craft. And they are the most dominant.”

Mike Baker further asked why poverty or other factors can also play a role in these fighters. The podcaster answered, “Sure.”

However, he also said, “But even when they do have much, like Khabib is very wealthy. And drives a Toyota truck. I mean he lives in the same house. He is very devoted in his beliefs and the way he is raising other fighters. And he just got out. I think he just decided to retire completely from mixed martial arts coaching and everything. Very religious…” The podcaster had very high words for Khabib Nurmagomedov.
