In a recent reel shared on Instagram, Khabib Nurmagomedov‘s grueling coaching session unfurls a side of him that fans have never seen.

Apart from training and mentoring the next crop of fighters, Nurmagomedov spends time building his own promotion. With his fighting days behind him, the mixed martial artist has taken up various business ventures that involve his own MMA organization.
