Islam Makhachev away from the tournament
Родина чемпионов: Ислам Махачев follows the mixed martial artist through several days in his native Dagestan. Its emphasis is the everyday world beyond major tournaments: a farm visit, night fishing, training, padel and watching football. The series places the sporting figure within familiar surroundings and ordinary routines.
The subjects give the portrait a different scale from a fight-night account. Work, leisure and time spent at home supply the material through which Makhachev is presented. Athletic activity remains part of the picture, but it sits alongside other ways of spending a day and maintaining a connection with the region.
