Khabib Nurmagomedov on Lifelong Bond with Islam Makhachev: "Nobody Has This Connection"

Khabib said, “A lot of people think we just met in the gym and are sparring partners. We have a brotherhood. We’ve known each other for 25 years, went to school together, and have the same coach.” Makhachev, trained under Khabib’s late father, is now chasing a second belt at UFC 322 under Khabib’s guidance. “I’m happier for my brothers when they win than for myself,” he added.
