IShowSpeed Actually Messaged Islam Makhachev to Send Sibling to Dagestan for 2 or 3 years

Popular online personality IShowSpeed has expressed a serious intent to send his younger brother, Jamal, to Dagestan for intensive training under the tutelage of UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev.

The unusual proposition emerged during a recent live stream. After Jamal struggled to complete even 20 proper push-ups, Speed jokingly floated the idea of sending him to Dagestan for conditioning. This casual suggestion gained traction when Speed later discovered that Islam Makhachev himself had reacted to the video clip.

Upon seeing Makhachev's response, the American streamer promptly informed his brother of his decision to directly contact the champion about arranging Jamal's training in the renowned Russian republic.

While browsing Islam Makhachev's social media, Speed emphatically conveyed his intentions to Jamal:

"Seriously, you're going to spend two to three years in Dagestan. This man [Islam Makhachev] is a legend. You will train with him, get fit, and your life will be transformed. Why are you hesitant? Are you scared? You need to embrace this opportunity and become a man."

Jamal, however, was less enthusiastic, openly admitting his apprehension:

"No, I'm not [going]. He might be a legend, but I am not going to Dagestan. I'm genuinely scared, brother."

Despite Jamal's fear, Speed remained steadfast, assuring his audience he was not joking. During the live broadcast, he took the dramatic step of sending a direct message to Islam Makhachev, inquiring if he could indeed send Jamal to Dagestan for an extended period of "2-3 years and forget about him."

"I just DM'd him. Jamal is going to become a man. Seriously, he's too scared right now."

Meanwhile, Islam Makhachev is reportedly preparing for his next UFC Lightweight title defense. According to UFC President Dana White, Makhachev is expected to return to the octagon in August.
