Close to a month after pulling out from the main event of UFC 249, UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has recently claimed that he was going through the best training camp of his entire UFC career till date. The undefeated Dagestani was initially in the US before he flew down to Russia to complete the final weeks of the Khabib Nurmagomedov training camp and got stuck in Russia due to the government lockdown. Khabib Nurmagomedov had to face a lot of criticism after pulling his name out of UFC 249, with UFC replacing him with Justin Gaethje for the main event. Now that Khabib is out of action till September with him following Ramadan Kareem, the Dagestani fighter said that he just got done with the best Khabib Nurmagomedov training camp of his life.
