How did they get so good?

So over there, they put them in wrestling.

They put them in both styles.

Then at, like, five, six years old, they identify, like, where are kids going to be better, and that's all they do all the way up through school.

Khabib and Islam started doing sambo when they were super young together, right, with his dad.

So their whole life they did combat sambo.

Combat sambo was actually, like, gi tops, punching, grappling, like...

They were essentially doing MMA as, like, kids.

Right.

And then just keep getting better.

I think for my son, right, to have the mentality that I have or had, it's impossible.

His life's too comfortable.

His life's too comfortable.

You and your brother and to your children, they can't even make themselves think like you did growing up where you grew up and how you grew up.

Right.

So it's like...

They all live like that.

Because while Khabib, I want to see Khabib's son and then the next Islam's son.

Then we could see how it does over there.

Because for them, it was the way to live.
