“It is very important to control yourself,” Nurmagomedov said. “When I step on the scale and see that I have gained more than a kilogram, I tell myself – it’s time to lose weight. I am in control, I am at 93 kilos, and I want to be at that weight for the next ten years. This is my goal – not to be heavier than 93 kilograms in the next ten years.
“Keeping less is very difficult. 88-89 kilos are constant diets, no sugar, fast carbs, and I need this because I meet a lot of people, I train a lot, and I need to replenish energy quickly. When there are a lot of people around, they take energy from you, so a little sugar and soda won’t hurt. Keeping a strict diet with such a lifestyle is a lot of stress. ”
Last year, 34-year-old Khabib Nurmagomedov became one of the most successful coaches in mixed martial arts, winning the UFC and Bellator lightweight titles with Islam Makhachev and Usman Nurmagomedov.
