MMA with 10 counts is the most Russian thing I’ve ever seen.
Edit: They were wearing head gear, so obviously no brain damage.
69
the first fight was kickboxing, in america. there was a count before he murdered the guy. ees normal.
the second was (combat) sambo by the look of it.
37
I think the second was wushu sanda. Zabit also trained in it and is a sanda champion.
17
The second was definitely Sanda. The style of fighting it produces from its rule set translates incredibly well into the mma context, I cant wait to see more mma fighters with Sanda backgrounds. Bring on the headkicks!

Wish Sanda was bigger here in the west. Normal kickboxing with judo throws and a bunch of spinning shit.

Ah that is comrade

Keeping it 100– for real. As per OP’s username.

you need to see the 'MMA' thing they do in the sandpit, massive weight discrepancies, random guys from the crowd, multiple opponents, tag teams, roided up bb'ers, Russian as fucc.

god all these dagestani siblings, the next couple generations are going to be scary

If you think the siblings are scary wait till you see the cousins

He's a little too in love with the spin but other than that he looks really solid. Exciting future for those dagestani's & russian fighters.

Once he runs into American wrestling he can phase the spins out some.

Aren't Russians on average better wrestlers than Americans though? I mean half of AKA is Russian folks lol and the only notable guy to come from the US recently is Boroughs.
14
Id say historically Americans are better freestyle wrestlers and Russians are better at Grecco Roman. I think the influx of Russians in MMA has a lot more to do with how well Combat Sambo translates to MMA.

I would not say that historically Americans are better at freestyle than Russians since Russia/USSR has won 43 World Level Championships in the last 50 years and US won 9 World Level Championships (Same number as Buvaisar Saitiev).

Kyle Snyder is also a notable American, isn't he?

This is why I love this sport so much.

He was button spamming on a noob AI opponent basically I think.

Yep, but sometimes that because your instinct and you step it up to a higher level where everyone has competent wrestling, and it puts you in positions you should have never been. Zabit does a good job controlling when he spins, some other guys just look for it constantly and waste energy.

The dude likes to spin, I love it.

Man this kid is literally straight out of Street Fighter. His roundhouse and spinning kicks are a thing of poetry.

What is his weight class? 135?

Khabib Nurmagomedov -> Umar Nurmagomedov Zabit Magomedsharipov -> Hasan Magomedsharipov. The future is here 😭
7
He fought a human punching bag on this clip though
6
It was too much for a poor guy
3
The kicks that come from a Sanda background are awesome, power and accuracy! I cant wait to see more Sanda fighters in mma!

He spins lightning quick.
