After Islam Makhachev’s win at UFC Fight Night 149, in Saint Petersburg, Russia, American Kickboxing Academy's Founder and Head MMA Coach, Javier Méndez, continued on his next flight to Khabib Nurmagomedov’s homeland, the Republic of Dagestan.
Deep in the North Caucasus mountains and perched upon the Caspian Sea, Dagestan provided a warm welcome to Coach Javier. These videos were all shot by Javier Méndez himself, during his travels.
In this video, we get to visit The Eagles MMA gym where Khabib’s father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, trains up the next generation of wrestling warriors. We see a mountain top view that is truly breaktaking and panoramic, and it ends with meeting one of their legendary bear cub training partners; such as the brown bear that Khabib was so famously seen wrestling with as a child.

We in America are not what Khabib is....he is genuine!!!

[@sannyahmed359]

Americ is not perfect🇦🇹🇹🇷

[@RealHoopSeason]

So much negative news fed into American's ears, to distract them from growing as society. People think cyber-warfare is most dominant, that's wrong. Social warfare is more effective, Americans are too busy fighting amongst themselves to worry about who the real problem is, which is the self-serving government on both sides. While we argue, they get richer for sleeping on the job. They are capitalizing on the fact that people are easy to manipulate, and it's true. They don't understand that once they attack America, we will all forget differences and unite to DEMOLISH the enemy of America, so don't give us a reason...

[@samhouston2000]

I asked about this exact behavior of some Muslims to a Muslim, he said they are taught to respect Parents, teachers and guests as royalties and in this order. That explains Khabib's love and respect towards his father and the way he reapects his coach.

[@mohamedfereg213]

In our religion, who does not obey his parents will not enter heaven, and the oldest must be respected for this when Habib won a fight he told his coach to speak before his father because he is older than his father Edite: but if they ask you for something wrong and go against Allah, do not obey them

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “He is not of us who does not have mercy on young children, nor honor the elderly” (Al-Tirmidhi).

[@peterk2735]

I'm sure Coach Mendez understands it perfectly by now, but for people that aren't familiar with the culture, I gotta point out that this whole thing is 100% pure absolute respect shown by the Degestani fighters. I've lived in similar places and people are generally very close-knit and family focused, so getting invited into the family home means you've really earned their trust. Once you've been at the family table, these guys got your back for life. It's crazy. Only thing that you gotta remember is to give that respect back, no room for the individualistic ego-driven bullshit we westerners are so prone to :) On a side note, would love to see DC visit as well. Place has got crazy wrestling traditions, as a former Olympic wrestler and an MMA fighter, I'm sure he'd fight right in!

[@izzatirfan1995]

This is mostly muslims culture.
