Javier Mendez, the coach of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev, shared his impressions of the trip to Dagestan.
“When you go out of town for a picnic in Dagestan, this approach involves wrestling, horseback riding, and a great zero calorie diet. If before someone did not know why they are warriors, now it is clear why they are great athletes. I have tasted some excellent non-calorie food and watched young warriors learn discipline, build character, and just do great training, honing their wrestling and submission skills."
