"Sleep, train, eat, repeat" - When Khabib Nurmagomedov shared how he wasn't happy despite training twice a day
Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the most dominant fighters in the history of MMA. 'The Eagle' holds a perfect record of 29-0 and amazingly lost only two rounds in his entire UFC career spanning 13 fights.
Nurmagomedov's insatiable work ethic pushed him to the pinnacle of the sport. During an interview with Eagle FC, the former UFC lightweight champion explained the training regimen that he followed growing up in order to be the best fighter possible.
Khabib Nurmagomedov stated that he initially trained twice a day but was not satisfied with the amount of work he was doing, and thus began training three times a day instead.
He said the following:
"I remember I was training in the morning, then I'd go home, rest, I come back and train at night, then I went home and I was like, 'No, it's not enough, training twice. I have to go one more time.' And sometimes at 12 [p.m.], 11 p.m. Sometimes I would go to train, I would train three times a day, then come home and have like five or six hours to rest. Because at 7 a.m. I've got more training. I sacrificed everything that I had. I would sleep, train, eat, repeat. And that's it."

He’s got to be that... some of the things he says, I’m like yeah, him saying he could beat f*cking, uh, that boxer dude, I’m like possibly, for sure, but him street wrestling Khabib, that’s no shot, not a f*cking chance. I’m actually... Bradley’s coming down Friday... him versus Khabib and wrestling, yeah, there’s no shot."
