UFC star Ciryl Gane responds to Khabib Nurmagomedov's training offer

Ciryl Gane has kindly rejected Khabib Nurmagomedov's offer to train in Dagestan in a bid to improve his wrestling.

UFC legend Nurmagomedov suggested Gane should visit his home region after the Frenchman was out-grappled by Francis Ngannou in their title fight last year. "Ciryl Gane, come to Dagestan brother. Come to Dagestan. You have to come, stay there for one maybe two years. Learn about wrestling and how to wrestle. His last fight showed his weakness, he has to learn how to wrestle. Bring your coaches," Nurmagomedov said.

Gane also showed his wrestling weakness against Jon Jones in March as he was tapped out by 'Bones' in less than two minutes. The former interim titleholder is grateful that Nurmagomedov offered to take him under his wing, but insisted that he can't leave his family and children in France to go and train in another country.
