Chapter 4: How does Khabib view his training and coaching style?
That guy's not stepping foot in Dagestan. He's not going anywhere.
What I mean by that is like if he came there, could you guys fix him? No.
Too far, too gone? We're never going to come to Dagestan. We're not friends. We don't want him to come.
If you weren't fighting, what do you think you'd be doing in your life?
uh i don't know maybe some business honestly because you know all my life i did same things i never thinking like i will do i will do this because and i'm still not doing some business because i don't want to thinking in the training i was my business of going there i have my my team my brothers who take care of this where i invest some money but i'm never thinking about this like singular focus on the fight
Yeah, of course. Because if you're thinking about something inside the gym, it's dangerous. You have to be 100% in the gym, training, focused. But if you're thinking, oh, how much I make today, how much my company, how much my business thinking, you're not in the gym.
You're getting a lot of business opportunities, I'm sure. So you're purposely just saving.
Of course, I did something, some investing. Yeah. But I have people who take care of, you know. If I need, I can ask them what the numbers like last month. But I don't control. I never go inside to watch, you know. No, I have one job, and I am 100% there, and I don't have time to control something.

Do you envision that moment in the octagon, like getting the belt wrapped around you?
Many times I saw even dream how they give you to me a belt, you know. Soon it's going to become true. Do you think you got in Murab's head at all? I don't care about that. I don't think about that. I don't.

And like yesterday I was drinking. I was drinking. So like Monday and Tuesday I'm still drinking. Wednesday sipping and
now of course like i'm not really drinking everything and so only last two days i i do my you have a better protocol now like a better plan much much better i think when you're young i was key like 13 years old and i was cutting weight to wrestling and uh i was imagine a kid stay without for two days and still have to swing like sweat and run and That was crazy, so terrible.
I kill myself and I don't know what to eat after. And like we all go through. I'm sure Alju is all American. And we all have to cut weight and do, we learn hard ways. But now, thank God, technology goes better. I hope my English gets better. I can read good and I can... Maybe one day I understand, then trust the process. Because I have a problem, like, don't trust.
I still do kind of my old ways, you know? Yeah. Because they told me, oh, keep drinking water, keep eating these snacks. But I'm like, no, no, no, I don't want to risk, you know?
Yeah.
That's the thing.
And then after, do you feel good once you...
Oh, yeah. Once I make weight, I have no problem, never issue. I start drinking, like, sipping water. Like, water, period lights, like, minerals, like, stuff like this. Water first. And, like, maybe one liter of water, you have to, you have, like, a,
