Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov explained why he decided to take an active part in the preparation Islam Makhacheva in the title fight with Dustin Poirier .
At UFC 302, which will take place on June 1 in Newark (USA), Makhachev will defend the lightweight championship belt in a duel with Poirier.
“For a month and a half, it’s better for me to be there than to regret later that if I had been there, things would have been different.”
I also have my own business, my own life, projects that I prepare. But what brings me the most positive energy is what I have done my whole life: when I am in the gym, when I fight and share my experience. Almost 90% of the guys here were with me when I was an active athlete. And I also want to give back to them, to share my experience. Because I know that when I’m in the gym and when I’m not, they’re two different workouts,” Nurmagomedov said on his YouTube channel.
Watch the live broadcast of UFC 302 from 05:00 Moscow time on Sunday on the channel, as well as from 01:30 on the Match channel! Fighter” and the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
