Rockhold: "I immediately recognized the talent in Khabib and took him under my wing"

Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold shared his memories of training with former lightweight titleholder Khabib Nurmagomedov at the AKA gym.

"I immediately recognized talent in him and took him under my wing. He came to the gym and we both had a fight scheduled. I had a program, so we prepared together. We were doing sparring, sprints, working as a duo. He would push me and I would push him. We were both hungry fighters at that point. It was great," Luke said in an interview with Jaxxon Podcast.

Recall that Nurmagomedov hung the gloves on the nail in the fall of 2020.
