Belal Muhammad, a top UFC welterweight, is not satisfied with training with Khabib's team. Muhammad's coach Louis Taylor reported that.
"They are straightforward and simple. Even Belal was upset because Belal is creative. They are not creative. Their method is simple - I'm going to grab your leg, transfer you, keep you down for five minutes and not do anything so I don't jeopardize my position. It's frustrating because you've just lost five minutes of training - throwing one leg kick and then lying down for five minutes. Neither fighter gets anything in that position, but you can't get up. They're not taught to be creative in the parterre."
