Islam Makhachev gives two gym members a Dagestani haircut ahead of UFC 330

Islam Makhachev, the UFC welterweight champion, performed a stylistic makeover on two young men at his gym. Makhachev removed their jewelry and trimmed their curly hair to conform to the traditional look of his Dagestan team, a practice that dates back to the influence of Khabib Nurmagomedov's late father. He shared the experience on Instagram, emphasizing the importance of the team's grooming standards. Makhachev is preparing to defend his title against Ian Garry at UFC 330 on August 15 in Philadelphia.
