I wonder what Embedded will be like. You guys think Khabib will be around? He wasn't around for the first match vs Volk.
I have followed Khabib and Islam social media accounts and it looked they are not way near right now. I am sure that Islam will be with AKA gym guys only in his corner, with the one who helped him to train. Of course Khabib gave him a lot of support during calls, but I dont think he would be around. Because he trust Islam and in 100% sure in him. When Islams opponent was changed, Khabib and Islams team did not care much. Khabib simply told - "Islam is a champ, he must be ready for everyone. If King Kong fits in 170lb, bring him in"
Uh nope... Khabib is def in Makhachev's camp and will def be in his corner. It's in Embedded. And get this, they're already in the United Arab Emirates.

And I'm hearing some talks swirling around that Volk just had a surgery done on his right hand which could mean that he hasn't been training as much and being in shape before he got the call from the UFC. He was prolly offered a lot of money to take the fight and save the event. :/ Now I'm thinking it could be an easier match up for Khabib's protege.
