In two weeks, a pair of acrobatic savages will jolt Frankie Edgar’s training camp for UFC 240.

With the Muslim holiday of Ramadan ending next week, brothers Zabit and Hasan Magomedsharipov return stateside to put in work before Edgar’s eighth UFC title fight.

It’s the third time Edgar has been booked opposite Max Holloway, who returns to defend his featherweight title after an unsuccessful grab at the interim lightweight belt. Things are no different this time around, Edgar said, but the young phenoms are a welcome addition.

“Those guys will be perfect for this fight,” Edgar told MMA Junkie on Wednesday.

Faith takes priority for the Magomedsharipov brothers in early summer. But they are already fixtures at Edgar’s gym in Hamilton, N.J., which hosts a bevy of top prospects from Russia and Dagestan, in addition to several UFC veterans.

Zabit Magomedsharipov, 28, is undoubtedly at the top of that prospect heap, having just picked up his fifth straight octagon win with a dominant decision over Jeremy Stephens. Experts regularly tout him as a future title contender because of his skill and athleticism.

Hasan Magomedsharipov doesn’t have the resume, but early amateur performances in MMA, boxing and jiu-jitsu have Edgar coach Mark Henry buzzing. This past September, the 18-year-old sent his opponent to the canvas early with a spinning hook kick his brother uses.

“The sky’s the limit,” Henry told MMA Junkie of the younger Magomedsharipov. “He does a lot of things like Zabit. Flashy kicks. Iron chin. Great attitude about getting hit.”

That’s certainly a virtue in a training camp for Holloway, who’s known for his high-volume boxing and willingness to slug it out. Henry doesn’t believe either Magomedsharipov can truly reproduce the Hawaiian champ’s tenacity. Close enough is good for the veteran Edgar, who’s by now accustomed to preparing for all the tendencies Holloway exhibits.

“Max keeps getting better and better every fight, but some guys just do stuff that they always do, and those are the things we’ve been working on since the very first camp we started getting ready for him,” Edgar said.

High-stakes title fights are just as familiar, and so far luck hasn’t been on Edgar’s side. He’s a heavy underdog to unseat Holloway, whose loss to Dustin Poirier this past month was his sole setback in four years and 12 fights.

Then again, if there’s anyone known for comebacks, it’s Edgar.

“A little over nine years ago, I fought a guy I wasn’t supposed to be in there with, who was supposed to wipe the mat with me, and I proved some people wrong,” he said of his title-winning upset over then-lightweight champ B.J Penn at UFC 112. “So this is definitely a familiar position for me.”

In the gym, there will be no shortage of tough looks as preparations go into high gear. Henry said Edgar is no less capable of showing the young bucks how it’s done. Even if the next title challenge goes south, he doesn’t see the ex-champ stopping.

What keeps him going?

“God, DNA and hard work,” Henry said. “I think for a lot of fighters, they’re good, but they don’t love the fight life. Well, Frankie loves the life.”
