Why Dagestani fighters are so good.
Khabib nurmagamedov and his countrymen have become some of the most dominant forces across UFC divisions for several reasons.
Dagestan has been at war with neighboring tribes for centuries and is a country notorious for street fights and scuffles, which fosters a culture of hard men with something to prove.
Many Dagestani fighters also attribute their Muslim religion as a driving force for their motivation and unwavering dedication.
We also can’t forget the harsh cold mountains of Dagestan, which allow for the perfect training conditions to develop outstanding cardio and both physical and mental endurance.
But what really sets Dagestan apart is that Dagestani boys practice sport from a very young age, and the two most popular sports are Sambo and the national sport of wrestling.
But their wrestling style is different, focusing on technique and skills in the training room rather than going hard to save their relentless shooting for competition.
With all this in mind, it’s no wonder…
