In this episode, I take on full MMA sparring in the mountains of Dagestan, where the world’s toughest fighters are made. After days of wrestling, training, and exploring this legendary region, I finally stepped into a real Dagestani MMA sparring session, training like Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev.

This episode shows the reality of training in Dagestan, the discipline, intensity, and raw spirit that shapes world champions. From early morning drills to evening sparring rounds, this was one of the most demanding days of the trip. But halfway through, things took a turn… I ended up getting sick while still pushing through training with some of the toughest guys in Russia.

Dagestan is often portrayed as a “no-go zone”, a mysterious, dangerous place on the map. But being here, training with these people, showed me a completely different side of this region: the warmth, respect, and culture that make Dagestan one of the most fascinating places in the fight world.
