Ryan Garcia is interested in teaming up with Khabib Nurmagomedov in Dagestan, and former UFC superstar Nate Diaz wasn’t having it. UFC Hall of Famer Khabib Nurmagomedov unintentionally created a popular meme when he repeatedly called for athletes to ‘train for 2-3 years in Dagestan’ to get in peak shape. Daniel Cormier’s wrestling understudies, and UFC fighters like Belal Muhammad, have benefited from working as Nurmagomedov’s understudies.

Boxing star Ryan Garcia has given his thoughts on Jake Paul’s upcoming superfight against heavyweight Anthony Joshua. In just a few short weeks, Jake Paul will take on his biggest boxing challenge to date by far. He will go head to head with Anthony Joshua in a professional heavyweight bout, and it’s safe to say that the fight has caused some controversy. The big reason, of course, is that there’s a notable size and experience gap between both men.
