‘The Eagle’ during his time in the UFC trained at one of the most famous MMA gyms in the world, the American Kickboxing Academy. He honed his skills with the head coach Javier Hernandez, former UFC champion Daniel Cormier and more.

Whilst his training at the gym, Nurmagomedov grew a good bond with the team members at the AKA gym. And they all frequently shared videos of their training and funny moments on their YouTube channel for the fans.

In one such video, the AKA team members pulled a prank on the former UFC lightweight champion. One of the team members sat inside a box and coach Mendez asked a few people before Nurmagomedov to check the kits inside the box. And as they reached out to check, they got pranked by the member sitting inside.
