In an exclusive interview, Patrick Bet-David engaged in a comprehensive and expansive conversation with Khabib Nurmagomedov. PBD deeply explored different aspects of Khabib’s life journey. The interview covered a wide range of topics, providing valuable insights from the mind of the undefeated fighter.
The interview also presented a unique opportunity to understand Khabib Nurmagomedov’s life better. During the interview, Nurmagomedov fondly remembered his interaction with his father. “The Eagle” was a teenager when Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov said, “Why you need money? For what? You have house. You have food. This is money for you to go training and come back. Sleep, train, eat repeat. Why you have to work? You’re time gonna come.” The elder Nurmagomedov was replying to his son’s request for money. The father’s prediction came true, as evidenced by ‘The Eagles’ accomplishments in MMA.
The former lightweight champion is out of the limelight as of now. He trains with his fellow Dagestani fighters but does not corner any one of them. Khabib fulfilled his father’s plan of making Islam Makhachev a world champion. Khabib firmly focuses on compensating for the time he lost during his active career with his family. A father of three, he has a long road ahead.
Khabib’s friend and protege, Islam Makhachev rules the lightweight division in his absence. Khabib cornered Makhachev when he won the title but was not there during the first title defense against Alexander Volkanovski. He might corner anyone for the foreseeable future.
Khabib Nurmagomedov criticize the excessive freedom in the US
In an exclusive interview with the one and only Patrick Bet-David, Khabib Nurmagomedov discussed various subjects. The audience responded positively to his viewpoints on the topics discussed. PBD has the skill of putting on the best interviews possible.
In the interview, The Eagle stated that excessive freedom was what was wrong with the US. He explained that strict rules are necessary for life. He cited that even MMA has rules that forbid eye pokes and low blows. Bet-David was amused by the comments and playfully acknowledged that while fathers might buy teddy bears in the US, in Russia, fathers seemingly encourage their sons to wrestle with real bears.
Khabib’s interview with PBD was a welcome success. Like Khabib, PBD too, had to face initial prejudice due to his Middle Eastern heritage to finally become a successful businessman.
