Islam Makhachev Says Discipline Fuels Team Khabib’s Massive Support

Makhachev linked his team’s popularity to lifestyle choices outside the cage. “We never go to parties, smoke, drink, or do bad things,” he said, arguing young fans look at Khabib’s camp as a model. “That’s why we have big support in our country,” Makhachev added. He says he tries to show fighters—and “real Muslims”—a disciplined path while staying elite in MMA.
