VIDEO:Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Gym Has a New Surprise Name in Training Attendance

Khabib Nurmagomedov opened the floodgates for Dagestani fighters to take over MMA. His legendary unbeaten run of 29 wins and zero losses is still regarded as the greatest resume in the sport. UFC has never seen a fighter more dominant than Khabib, who barely ever lost a round in his career. This proves that the former lightweight champion holds secrets from the world.

Thankfully, he is willing to train new fighters and young up-and-comers at his gym. Surging UFC bantamweight fighter Umar Nurmagomedov is known to be an active training partner for the retired fighter. However, in the recent Twitter, the UFC fighter was seen training with another Dagestani fighter, Magomed Magomedov from the rival promotion in Bellator.

The rise of Khabib in the lightweight division was quiet and unprecedented. The former champion left an unforgettable impact on UFC.

Umar is still undefeated in his career, as the 25-year-old is hoping to win the bantamweight gold in the future. Magomed’s career, however, isn’t going as smoothly as it is expected out of Dagestani fighters.

He has already suffered two losses in his career, with the first loss handed to him by current UFC Interim champion Petr Yan. In his last outing, Magomed suffered a unanimous decision loss to Raufeon Stots in August.
