Israel Adesanya’s coach says Khabib talks too much ‘sh-t’ about other fighters

City Kickboxing head coach Eugene Bareman thinks Khabib Nurmagomedov has changed for the worse since retiring, accusing the UFC lightweight GOAT of talking too much ‘sh-t’ about other fighters.

Khabib (29-0 MMA, 13-0 UFC) mainly used to let his fists do the talking but, since retiring in 2020, Bareman says he has seen another side to Nurmagomedov — and he doesn’t like it one bit.

“Khabib talks more sh*t about other fighters than anybody and I’m disappointed to see that,” Bareman, who coaches UFC champions Israel Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski, told Submission Radio in a recent interview.
