Award-winning U.S. filmmaker Will Harris, in an interview with Joe Rogan, opened up about his experience shooting his series 'Dagestan Chronicles' with UFC lightweight legend Khabib Nurmagomedov in Dagestan.
Harris told the UFC commentator that he doesn't believe anybody can beat 'The Eagle'. The filmmaker further elaborated that compared to how the Dagestanis live their lives, there is no surprise the fight game could throw at them:
"After spending time with Khabib in Dagestan, like meeting his father, going into the mountains. I just don't see nobody beating him. I'm sorry what you throw at him you are not gonna beat him. I feel like just his pedigree of where he is from. Its nothing that's going to break that guy, after going to Dagestan and seeing how those people live."
Harris also stated that the Dagestani people tie everything they do to their faith, similar to how the boxing legend Muhammad Ali used to do. The filmmaker noted- after seeing the grueling training sessions of the Russian fighters, he doesn't believe there is anyone out there competent enough to beat Nurmagomedov.
"After seeing the Gyms they train in the mountains, every thing that makes this guy. There is nothing in the ocatgon that someone is going to do. Like this is going to beat Khabib... I just feel like mentally there's nothing that's going to break Khabib."
'The Eagle' retired from MMA after his submission win over Justin Gaethje at UFC 254. Nurmagomedov closed his MMA chapter on a high note with an impressive 29-0 record.
