Khabib Nurmagomedov described the legendary, Spartan conditions of his early training gym in Makhachkala, Dagestan, which featured only one shower for 70 people and cold water. Despite these harsh conditions, the gym produced over 20 world champions, including several UFC champions.
Khabib Nurmagomedov shared that before moving to Makhachkala, his father built a gym in their home in a village. His father trained all the local kids who wanted to join, with the sounds of training sessions being among Khabib's earliest memories.
The Lex Fridman Podcast episode with Khabib Nurmagomedov features an experiment with speaking entirely in Russian. Listeners can choose between the original Russian audio track and an English dub, with subtitles also available in both languages on YouTube.
