Khabib breaks down how to beat Charles Oliveira for Kamaru Usman and Henry Cejudo
When it comes to advice in the Octagon, Khabib Nurmagomedov isn’t a bad mentor.
Regarded as one of the greatest mixed martial artists in the history of the sport, The Eagle went undefeated during his career.
He went 29-0 before quitting after UFC 254 and has been retired for just short of two years now since the death of his father.
But Khabib is just simply infatuated with the sport. Leaked footage shows him providing advice to former UFC flyweight and bantamweight champion Henry Cejudo and current welterweight champ Kamaru Usman. The trio were found in the cage for the upcoming event in Miami.
They discussed the most effective ways of tackling your opponent on the ground and suggested using the same techniques in order to combat Charles Oliveira.
Khabib constantly reiterated the importance of using ‘hips’ during a takedown and gripping the opponent with the legs instead of a hugging motion as you can still land punches.
In the leaked footage, Khabib said, “You don’t need distance. You Olympic champion. How many Olympic champion freestyle wrestling you see in your life?
