@fighterss.fight: This video shows of their true hard work Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev trained together long before either became one of the biggest names in MMA. Growing up within the same Dagestani system and later training at AKA, both developed elite wrestling, control and submission skills that would eventually take them to UFC championships. Years before the titles, massive events and worldwide recognition, they were simply teammates constantly sharpening each other in the gym. Old footage of them sparring feels completely different now knowing what both would eventually accomplish. #khabib #khabibnurmagomedov #islam #UFC #ufcfighter
