If you asked Khabib Nurmagomedov about the biggest challenge he’s faced, he probably wouldn’t name any of his fights. Instead, he might point to this fight camp, where three of his fighters were set to compete for titles. UFC 311 brought mixed emotions for Team Khabib—while Umar fell short against Merab Dvalishvili, Islam Makhachev successfully defended his title. Now, with Usman gearing up for the Bellator title fight, Khabib shared an update on Instagram, keeping fans locked in.
On Instagram, Khabib shared a series of photos of Usman, highlighting the start of his training camp in Dubai. In the post, Khabib emphasized his commitment to focusing entirely on defending the belt of his cousin, the youngest member of their family. With a sense of urgency, Khabib urged Usman to take the spotlight now, stating that it’s his turn to prove that he is the best in the business.
Khabib fully backed his cousin, calling for a straight title defense. And stressing the need to prove he’s the best in the sport. The post showed Khabib’s strong support and belief in Usman’s future success.
During training camp, Khabib pushes everyone to their limits, making the fight feel like a breeze in comparison. Known for his relentless intensity, he ensures fighters are prepared for anything inside the cage. His philosophy is simple: endure hell in training, so the real battle feels effortless.
Usman Was Worried About Team Khabib Nurmagomedov Over His Own Fight
Before UFC 311, Usman admitted feeling more stressed about his teammates’ fights than his own. He showed unwavering confidence in Umar, Islam, and Tagir, highlighting how much he values their success. Usman believed in his own skills and remained focused on stepping into the cage when the time came. At UFC 311, Islam secured a victory, while Umar faced a tough loss.
Now, it will be interesting to see if Usman can defend the belt like Islam or if he’ll fall short like Umar. All eyes, not just from Bellator fans but the entire UFC community, will be on him, especially with Khabib’s cousin in the spotlight.
