“They Cannot Make 4XL For You Coach” – Khabib Nurmagomedov Has a Hilarious Interaction With His Coach Javier Mendez

Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and MMA coach Javier Mendez recently joked around after a training session.

Nurmagomedov and Mendez have a great relationship and frequently make fun of each other. In the latest episode between the two, Mendez posted a video on his Instagram, showing Nurmagomedov making fun of his weight.

Founder of American Kickboxing Academy, Mendez, can be seen asking for a Gorilla Fighting T-shirt in the video. Responding to the question, Khabib said, “This is your mistake coach because they cannot make 4 XL. You have to come down to XL. I don’t want to call you a fat guy… but please come down to large, ok X Large but not 4 XL.”

Coach, trying to defend himself, said that he does 18-6 intermittent fasting. Khabib responded, “Ok, 18 hours you don’t eat, but six hours you don’t stop coach. This is bad.”

The former kickboxer was one of the coaches that helped ‘The Eagle‘ reach the very top of the UFC’s lightweight division. Mendez is known to have coached some of the very best fighters in MMA. In 2015, he became the only trainer to have three fighters holding titles simultaneously.
