I always had the same remark. We often get answers to different questions due to them not trying to make questions simpler. They don't even bother asking the question differently when they get a different answer, they just go to the next question.

[@RaptureCentralControl]

I guess it comes when you've had a hard life growing up away from the comforts we take for granted in the West. These guys need to work hard as the bare minimum whereas we can chill at home and not bother about anything and we can still get by. Maybe I'm over thinking it

[@edwardelric5491]

Hard life is the best way to produce tough man.... It's ancient knowledge, plus Dagestani culture also help. Do u see khabib cry about his mental health because when he was a kid he saw his contry in war? No, so much so you wouldn't even know he expirienced that in his childhood. But u see people like paddy pimblett and strickland cry about having depression for the smallest of things

@RaptureCentralControl Bro Khabib, Islam, Usman and Umar never worked a day in their life they were the equivalent to west rich kids in the US whos parents paid for everything and allowed them to train 3 times a day lol. Islams brother even worked 2 jobs so he could just train and do nothing . Thats high end priv. U are confusing the luxuries that people in the west have v Khabibs small village as being them having a hard life when its nothing like that. The luxuries are just distractions. Those guys just have nothing to do but train in life cause their parents and fam took care of the rest.

Religion can play a factor in discipline but don’t get it wrong, without the soviet/russian emphasis on martial arts, you wouldn’t see them in this stage.
