man_dingo - I hope this isn’t true but one of my colleagues who is Russian sent me this. It’s in Russian but if anyone can translate it. I don’t speak a word but my colleague who follows MMA like myself, said the article printed in Russian news claims Khabib has been avoiding cardio due to some issues. Here’s the link but I’m having trouble opening it/ not sure if it’s because I’m using my iPhone. It keeps opening onto the main page/ home page as opposed to article itself

I’ve managed to copy an extract if anyone can translate it
thanks

One of the biggest criticisms thrown Khabib Nurmagomedov’s way has been about whether or not he would be able to make the 155-pound weight limit. His failure to fight at UFC 209 against Tony Ferguson caused the fight to be cancelled and many blamed his poor nutrition plan.
Khabib, however, went on to clarify that his problems are more rooted in being injured rather than dieting alone.
“You know guys, I’ve never had a problem with weight cuts,” Khabib said during the UFC 219 press conference. “My problem, my number one enemy is injuries, because I train so hard. I’m not training like other UFC fighters. I’m training so hard, and my training partners know about this.”
However sources have indicated that Khabib is currently unable to do much cardio. But they have yet to speak to the UFC about it, although all medicals have gone well and there are currently no plans for Khabib to pull out.
When Dagestan MMA journals reached out to Team Khabib for clarification, a representative of the gym refused to comment or answer any direct questions. Only confirming that “everything is in place” and when pushed on the subject, that Khabib “pulled a muscle in training and had to take a week off.” But insisted “he’s now “100% healthy and he’s able to resume cardio. There is no problem. “
We here at Russia MMA Journals certainly hope so as this is not the first time Khabib has had to pull from his long awaited math with the elusive and frightening Tony Ferguson. MMA fans stay tuned.
