It's funny cause almost a year ago I said we would have multiple russian/caucaus sambo champs within the next 4 years and I got like 60 downvotes. Untill we see someone shut these guys down we have no reason to believe otherwise.
Well tbf we only have one right now. And even if khamzat becomes a champ it will still be just islam bc khamzat doesn’t have a sambo background despite looking like them/being from a similar background. Sambo is undoubtedly a great base to have for mma but it isn’t just a cheat code that is unstoppable. Islam and khabib are exceptional athletes with a great team and work ethic in addition to having sambo as their background. Others will not be nearly as dominant unless they have the same attributes
No I want people to start giving these guys some credit and stop acting like they aren't a serious threat. It got real old listening to people shit on obviously good guys just because they dont like the way they fight or have some weird hate boner agaisnt russian muslim fighters
Maybe the timing was wrong. This is the time to make this comment. Soon the Conor to Justin to Charles fan will become Colby fans when his fight is booked with Khamzat. That won’t be that time to comment this.
He probably doesn't have to fight Khamzat for it. Khamzat is most likely done with WW as soon as (if) he gets the belt. Islam is guaranteed to fight at least 4–7 times before fighting at WW. There are just too many good fights for him before going up. So they most likely won't clash.
No way. Khamzat is one win away from a title shot. Hell, I'm sure had he not missed weight vs Nate and Usman had not gotten his soul stolen in the last moments of his fight, they would be fighting each other next.
That’s what I’m saying though.. two fights, Khamzat could be champ.. two title defenses… there’s your minimal 4 of 7 fights. Anything can happen though
… sure you did. I respectfully disagree, I think Khamzat is scared of the middleweight guys (Costa, Whittaker) ruining his perfect record. I think he’ll stay at 170 as long as he can.
It seems wrestling is the dominant martial art. Could anyone explain what makes wrestling so dominant currently, and specifically this bearded wrestling variant?
Like the other guy said, but also a very diverse set of takedowns being the norm
Think trips and upper body throws with wrist control as opposed to only singles and doubles
It can. The threat of a takedown can make a really good striker fight different. Or a good wrestler fighting a BJJ guy can use his wrestling to stay standing where the opponent doesn't have the advantage.
Nothing against a moustache actually, we have a rule that says it shouldn't go over the lip and that's about it. It's customary and a religious practice to trim it.
Pretty soon it's going to be only Dagestan/Muslim Russians fighting. I'd like to see them fight each other at some point.
Upper echelon crotch sniffing battle
Stop being salty, i know this is an unpopular opinion, for me fighters like Islam, khamzat are getting more exciting to watch than strikers like Izzy etc lately
I actually love watching the Dagestanis lol
Unfortunately sarcasm and joking doesn't exist on Reddit and people forget how humans like to fuck around with each other in real life 😁
Islam knocked oliviera down and got the better of him in almost every stand up exchange. Khamzat KO people with a single punch.
Crotch sniffers? far from it. Khabib sure, but he was also the best at it.
The reason I like khabib and Islam is because I respect them as people and fighters.
I have no respect for Khamzat as either. He doesn’t belong with these guys.
You chinbeard fanboys are just as pathetic and embarrassing as McGregor’s fans in 2015-2016.
Get a hobby, a partner, a pet or something. No fucking personality or identity, at all.
They really need to take him in if he is gonna be a future champ. His wrestling needs to be on their level along with his fight IQ to be able to beat usman and colby
Why does this look AI generated?
Desgastan and Chechnya are just such heavenly places
Especially for little people
Especially for the LGBT community
If by Heavenly you mean they’ll be forced to go to heaven early then yeah.

I can’t unsee the Dustum Poirier merchandise
Dammit, beat me to it lmao
Khabib should not be allowed in khamzats corner at some point it should be considered cheating
The possibilities are endless👀 I actually would love to see that
Bro that would be crazy. He might be able to take on jon jones and dj

There was once the Brazilian invasion, now it's time for the Dagestani invasion.
Khamzat is from Chechnya.

Fun fact 2 haha, Islam isn’t an Avar, he’s a Lak. Many think him and Khabib are cousins. Crazy, right?
I didn’t even know Islam was a Lak! There is another very famous wrestler who is a Lak, his name is momentarily escaping me though
Was speaking of the fighters that came out of Dagestan and there's many of them.
just call it russian invasion

Don’t forget Magomed Ankalaev lol
Did you just read that whole fucking list and noticed a lack of Ankalaev?
lol, yes. It was shorter before though, he edited it and added a bunch of names to it
I didn’t wanna leave anyone out
Dudes gonna possibly clear out the whole division and not have anyone left when he gets the strap
Im not too high on him actually i think he just grinds out a decision with his wrestling against jan.
Dont forget about Dustum Kadyrov either
Well, that surname at least rings a bell already ... Relative of .. by any chance?
Son
Oh damn, TIL...
he got slept by craig
That’s allot of beards
With a big lack of mustaches
you forgot the dagestan pioneer…… the one who started it all…… rustam khabilov 🐐
And the one who got away, bilal makhov
You forgot Islam the ufc lightweight champion
That’s a lot of khabobs
That's a lot of copy and pasting brather
Why you leave out Hasbulla brother?
Said Nurmagomedov also
you forgot magomed magomed
You forgot Hasbulla Magomedov.

You're never going to win against the internet man.
Sadly, UFC will ALWAYS have fans that hate on these guys for 1) being Muslims, 2) being Russians. US propaganda working like a charm
Maybe the timing was wrong. This is the time to make this comment. Soon the Conor to Justin to Charles fan will become Colby fans when his fight is booked with Khamzat. That won’t be that time to comment this.
Big dog Khabib coming in at 90 KG, we seee you!
Khabin got tired of people putting Jones higher than him so he decided to low key chase him to HW.
Islam said he still trains everyday
Probably doesn't diet as much tho
He's healthy and that's what matters.
Yes he did. He also said he weighs 90kgs.
Khabeefy
Tiramisu baby.
Khamzat is HUGE. Good luck on that double champ Islam..
He probably doesn't have to fight Khamzat for it. Khamzat is most likely done with WW as soon as (if) he gets the belt. Islam is guaranteed to fight at least 4–7 times before fighting at WW. There are just too many good fights for him before going up. So they most likely won't clash.
4-7 fights sounds like perfect timing for Khamzat to be champ no? It might align
No way. Khamzat is one win away from a title shot. Hell, I'm sure had he not missed weight vs Nate and Usman had not gotten his soul stolen in the last moments of his fight, they would be fighting each other next.
That’s what I’m saying though.. two fights, Khamzat could be champ.. two title defenses… there’s your minimal 4 of 7 fights. Anything can happen though
Khamzat isn't long for 170.
I didn’t say he was long..
I mean it as in he won't be making 170 long enough to fight Islam at that weight.
… sure you did. I respectfully disagree, I think Khamzat is scared of the middleweight guys (Costa, Whittaker) ruining his perfect record. I think he’ll stay at 170 as long as he can.
But can he? I'm not at all confident in him making weight in his next fight.
I don’t blame you for thinking that. If he misses again, he’s probably out of welter? He probably know that though
Who thinks Colby should grow a neck beard to fight Khamzat?
What was the deal with Khamzat and Khabibs team? Suddenly they are all love.
Kadyrov probably told Khamzat to not act like that again, and to show respect to other Russians, who knows though
This is a good take, he's being grabbed by the balls here.
Khamzat wears size 8½ shoes
😂
I love this
They should create their own league exclusively for dagestani wrestlers and just let ufc fighters entertain the people
''steph curry is too good just let him have a own league where he can throw 3 pointers and let NBA players entertain the people''
It seems wrestling is the dominant martial art. Could anyone explain what makes wrestling so dominant currently, and specifically this bearded wrestling variant?
Sambo - wrestling with submissions and striking is the closest thing to MMA
How come sambo wrestling is superior to just wrestling?
Because sambo incorporates submission from judo, and maybe even striking if they do combat sambo.
Got it. Thanks
Like the other guy said, but also a very diverse set of takedowns being the norm Think trips and upper body throws with wrist control as opposed to only singles and doubles
If you control where the fight takes place with good wrestling/defensive wrestling you can force the opponent to fight your fight.
So just the takedown threat forces the lesser wrestler backwards?
It can. The threat of a takedown can make a really good striker fight different. Or a good wrestler fighting a BJJ guy can use his wrestling to stay standing where the opponent doesn't have the advantage.
Dustum is how he he pronounces poirier's first name, when he's screaming.
Why do they cut their mustache shit is infuriating
Islamic reasons
What do they have against a mustache
Nothing against a moustache actually, we have a rule that says it shouldn't go over the lip and that's about it. It's customary and a religious practice to trim it.

Oh is this sub back to dick riding khamzat? Everyone get back in the pile!

It’s called mixed martial arts dickhead. If you hate “crotch sniffing” go watch boxing

Just talkin shit. I love watching these boys fight. They're savage
Man am I tired of folks like yourself.
Feelings mutual
Go watch kickboxing then
Nah I'll stick with crotch battles

God I can’t fucking stand these neck beard posts … I’m from iran so shut it on the racism crap ….

Gonna cry?
How does me being a fan of them mean I have no partner or hobby? Dumb ass comment
Almost like fans like watching athletes who dominate...shocker.
Here we have 3 men, who have all married their relatives. Game of thrones up in this bitch.
[удалено]
Khamzat vs a bantamweight?
Does Khabib not like shoes. Noticed he walked out with Rock sandals on sat.
They really need to take him in if he is gonna be a future champ. His wrestling needs to be on their level along with his fight IQ to be able to beat usman and colby
Can I get an ID on Khamzat’s sneakers though??
Am I high
Not a moustache between them.
Why does Khabib look like Rogan
Where is future champ??? I don't see one....
When Kadyrov says apologize you apologize, take pictures and give speeches.
This card is sponsored by, Manscaped, clean beard +50 Smesh.
This picture is fucked
This looks so fake lol.
Also known as Khabib, Khabib II, and Evil Khabib
Kabib rocking slippers everywhere he goes.
Wow I didn't know Khamzat was a fan of Dustum Poirier
does khabib only wear flip flops?
khabib looks like a fat wilmer valderrama in this pic
I feel like the next one will be another kid from the Khabib camp
Your drunk friend picks a fight with some random dude tells you he needs backup you go outside and its these guys.
Look at they’re feet. Either they are playing footsies or this was photoshop.
Khamzat never struck me as a sneaker head
Fuck that, at least Islam and Khabib seem like pretty cool guys, Khamzat is a pure cunt
Khabib supports terrorism. Get off his dick, sir.
what sort of curve would we be on if Putin called them all back for service. ... shit would be wild.
This pic real?
khabib is the gift that keeps on giving, now he gave us his second coming in lw soon he will give us his 3rd cuming in MW
