Part 3 Javier Mendez visits Khabib Nurmagomedov in Russia: Eagle Can Fly, Picnic, Wrestling, Penza

This is the third and final installment in a series of travel videos filmed by American Kickboxing Academy's Founder and Head MMA Coach, Javier Méndez. He continues on in Dagestan where Khabib Nurmagomedov invites him to fly off a cliff. Javier declines, because he’s not an eagle like Khabib.
They enjoy a picnic, where you get see how the youngest Dagestani warriors practice wrestling in the grass. Javier was gifted with a custom-fitted suit and a couple pairs of artisan-crafted fine leather shoes. He gives a quick tour of one of the shoe showrooms.
The trip ends in Penza, with a tour of Khabib’s restroom and an ancient bathhouse with strict rules. It seems like luxurious bathing facilities have been a part of their architecture for millennia.
