Known for his unparalleled skills in the octagon, Khabib Nurmagomedov has become a well-respected figure in the coaching realm as well.
And, well, a recent social media clip highlighted his unique approach – blending humor with strict training discipline.
In the video, Khabib is seen demonstrating a critical aspect of wrist control during a fight.
He jokingly, yet honestly, tells the athlete to never let the opponent dominate this aspect.
Khabib warns the student and the people watching the video:
If I control this, you cannot give your opponent this one. This is very bad.
If someone takes your wrist with one arm like this, you have to go home and never come out.
You understand that? This is very bad. Never give this to your opponent.

Despite the continued interest in his potential return to the UFC and the MMA octagon in general, Khabib remains focused on his retirement from professional fighting.
He dedicates his time and expertise to coaching, particularly bringing up the talents of Dagestani athletes – and so is, therefore, contributing significantly to the world of MMA as it is now.
