It has been nowhere near as bad as 2013 was, but it may be time for some fighters to re-evaluate how hard they train.<\/p>\n<p>Khabib Nurmagomedov&#8217;s recent leg injury brought up the discussion of how the wrestling mindset can actually cause injuries. UFC Tonight&#8217;s Kenny Florian dove into the subject, \u201cI think it\u2019s the mentality of the wrestlers that gets them injured. They push through things and when they have small injuries, they get worse and worse. It\u2019s the physical side. But people forget how new this sport is. This sport is tough. Look at the training you have to do.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>While Florian thought some training camps could use improvement on their methods, UFC middleweight Michael Bisping responded by saying that these fighters should either train hard just like you would fight. &#8220;But you have to train the way you\u2019re going to fight. If you don\u2019t to push yourself to the limit like you would in the fight you won\u2019t be ready. But you have to be smart. It\u2019s an unfortunate business. Sometimes this happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both fighters have a point. When you train hard like Khabib Nurmagomedov does, you run the risk of getting injured. However, when you have an MMA record like his it&#8217;s hard to mess with the recipe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>REAL TALK!
