AKA Founder, head trainer, friend, and business partner of Mike, Javier Mendez, Skypes in for this episode from Dubai to give all the updates on Khabib’s camp before his title fight next weekend against Justin Gaethje. The two also discuss Khabib's potential TUF appearance, Conor vs Poirier, Jav's adventures mingling with billionaires, Gaethje's comments and fight strategy, Khabib's standup game, Islam's canceled fight, how Stylebender dismantled Costa, and so much more! We had so many fan questions for Jav that we had to give him his own full episode. This is a must-watch before UFC 254!
