Muhammad's coach: 'Extremely disappointed to train with Khabib's team'

The coach of the top American UFC welterweight Belal Muhammad Tuis Taylor said that his ward was not satisfied with the joint work with the team of Khabib Nurmagomedov.

"The thing is that these guys are very simple. We were extremely disappointed because Belal is a creative guy. It's not that they're unoriginal. No, they are all different. For example, Makhachev trains in his own way. But they all have simple concepts of fighting.

They grab your leg, give you a takedown and keep you on the ground for five minutes without trying to improve your position. And it's frustrating because you're wasting five minutes of training. They don't train creativity on the ground," the specialist told Money Loyalty Legacy.

Muhammad is expected to have a title fight against Leon Edwards in July.
