Is Magomed Ankalaev Part of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Team?

Though both hail from Dagestan, Ankalaev and Khabib aren’t related and don’t train together. Khabib’s team trains at American Kickboxing Academy under Javier Mendez, while Ankalaev splits his camps between Extreme Couture in the U.S. and his own Russian team led by Sukhrab Magomedov. Despite their Dagestani roots, their training bases remain completely separate.
