Chael Sonnen has unveiled an exclusive insider of the Khabib Nurmagomedov training camp before the Conor McGregor fight in 2018, says it was like a week before Khabib fought Conor when all the gym members were training grappling with Khabib Nurmagomedov but the coach did not want Sonnen to see the secrets as to what goes on in the training camp.
Here is Chael talking about the training session:
Chael Sonnen is one of the most interesting and outspoken fighters in the history of MMA. He has been retired from fighting for a few years now, but he is still relevant thanks to social media.
Sonnen posts videos and analyses of MMA-related events frequently on his youtube channel. Most recently, a video of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Luke Rockhold’s grappling session leaked online, this prompted Sonnen to contemplate if Khabib can dominate him in grappling as well!
If Khabib could dominate Luke Rockhold, a 6’2 middleweight/light heavyweight fighter, he could surely manhandle Chael Sonnen (also a former middleweight) easily in the grappling department! And Sonnen seems to think that too!
While talking about Khabib, Chael revealed that he visited the AKA gym a week before Khabib fought Conor McGregor back in 2018. Chael was there for a training session with Daniel Cormier when Khabib came in to train at the gym. The details of his training were kept in secrecy so as to not reveal what Khabib can really do! But the world has finally seen the sheer grappling tenacity of Khabib “The Eagle” Nurmagomedov!
