Combat sports might appear to be a solo effort, but behind every fighter is a dedicated team crafting strategies, training routines, and support systems. Over the years, MMA has seen many great teams, but it’s safe to say Team Khabib Nurmagomedov now reigns supreme. With their third world title secured, manager Ali Abdelaziz wasted no time flaunting the achievement on social media, cementing their place at the top.
On X, manager Abdelaziz highlighted Team Khabib’s dominance in MMA, showcasing their champions across major promotions. Islam Makhachev holds the UFC title, Usman Nurmagomedov leads Bellator, and Gadzhi Rabadanov recently claimed the PFL championship, cementing their global supremacy.
He said, “Now @TeamKhabib have every belt for every promotion around the world @MAKHACHEVMMA UFC champion @Usmannmgdv bellator champion @Gadzhi Rabadanov PFL CHAMPION.”

There is a reason behind the team’s success: Javier Mendez, who has developed champions like Khabib and Daniel Cormier, leads them. Additionally, the Dagestani camp has frequently mentioned how challenging training with Khabib can be, making it a brutal experience. This intensity in training often makes their fights appear easier.

Khabib and his team have achieved incredible milestones, from Khabib’s legendary 29-0 career to producing numerous undefeated fighters. Now, with their third champion crowned, Khabib expressed his amazement on Instagram, calling it “unreal” that his team holds titles in the top three organizations.

Not to forget Belal Muhammad, who trained with Khabib’s Dagestan team before his fights with Leon Edwards. That preparation paid off as he not only performed exceptionally but also took the title from Edwards. The team’s relentless effort and dedication behind the scenes speak volumes, producing results like these time and again.
