Flashback to my time in Dagestan, when I thought these warriors from Makhachkala would be eating out the palm of my hand on the basketball court, but just when I thought that, I was introduced to Dagestan Basketball. The hardest thing I have ever done in my life on a basketball court. This was something you simple have to experience.

Flashback to my time in Dagestan in 2018, when I thought these little athletes would be eating out the palm of my hand on the basketball court, but just when I thought that, I was introduced to Dagestan Basketball. The hardest thing I have ever done in my life on a basketball court. This was something you simply have to experience. My knees were swollen for a week.

[@somewhereonearth3049]

Man thanks a lots for great great video.

[@honestabe6841]

I could tell you got love for khabib like D.C. does.....i dont blame you, khabib is a good dude. Hard not to appreciate a Khabib in this world when there are so many fake people everywhere. Much respect Will for showing the world Khabib Nurmagomedovs personal life and true character. The guy might be the best UFC fighter that ever did it so far.

[@giacdeg]

@@honestabe6841 100% bro. I'm filled with admiration for these tough mountain people, with their deep brotherhood and true spirits. I also give thanks to Will Harris for going there and filming and bringing Dagestan to the world.

[@mylesscott2454]

I can beat them in Basketball

[@wael4070]

Dude you're a big guy. I bet that game is damn exhausting

[@hamzahsyahputra696]

Will Harris is type of guy who come to some other country and try to learn from it. This guy is rare. Trust me. A lot foreigner cone to my country they don't try to learn something in fact they want to treat like a king. Well done Will! 👍🏼

[@MoejiiOsmanTV]

That's why he said they do it for "warmup" this is pure cardio excersise

[@dabomb5600]

Are you saying most ppl expect to be treated like kings when they come to foreign countries?

[@2devious724]

1:11 Khabib's like, "Will's staying on my team!"

[@catur2datone215]

I shoot ball!! That’s it. no dribble Dana , none of this. This “ dribble” you say ...this #1 bullshit..

[@McGregorsPlumbingandHeating]

IT'S CORONA TIME

[@aslanli9339]

For all my western friends, this game is a common practise in most of post-soviet countries. I grew up playing it in our wrestling club in Baku, Azerbaijan. and we used to play it every Friday before practise to warm up (some weeks on Wednesdays too, to keep the fun rolling :))

[@bidenisanidiot8029]

Aslan A. 👍

[@giacdeg]

This sport must be called Rugball. Or Basketby.

[@chatolo1]

I read this comment with Khabibs voice in my mind.

[@user-pp7zv9yo2b]

In Kazakhstan too,we played in school for us it is just regular basketball 😂

[@anklepick9524]

Wrestlers in Sweden play this same kind of game but football (soccer).

[@rahimbld3764]

Khabib i love you bro

[@alexsabra1709]

This is basketball + rugby 😂 run with the ball in hand , grab the attacker and try to steal the ball, get it in the hoops.. this is brutal basketball, I wonder how rough they play without the camera infront of them 😅👍🏼

[@nocomment1469]

Chur bro , I'm thinking the same thing

[@ethanethan5775]

💪🏾

[@bIgJmAc6066]

There's a video of them somewhere playing much harder than this. I'm sure they toned it down one small notch to save the poor guy that volunteered himself to be there

[@pointless132]

looks like they aren't even just attacking the person with the ball. Looks like its advantageous to attack everyone to get less people on the guy with the ball.

[@younglion2269]

Khabib man you're so likable bro. Can't wait to see you fight Tony.

[@timr5185]

This is absolutely great! Thanks for the insight on their take on basketball!

[@mrzack888]

this was how the original basksetball was played when Naismith just invented it. It ended up being too physical, so he had to invent some rules.

[@phantom_mist1726]

So the people from Dagestan were like "too physical?? Pfft you guys are pussies" and here we are today lol it looks fun to be honest.

You're not wrong 👍😷
