Khabib Ground and Pound Training with English Subtitles

As research for my Khabib ground game breakdowns I employed a Russian translator to subtitle various training videos and this ground and pound technique was one of those. I have uploaded it here to share the translation and for archival purposes, I hope it is something you enjoy as I have a few other videos like this if you are interested.

Lol somewhere john kavanagh and his staff is lowkey lurking on these videos

[@SonnyBrown]

I am sure they know all this already :)

[@anasmahboob3821]

Random Internet or, after watching this, they probably abandoned the idea of leaving Conor in the octagon with this guy.

[@prateekkantrai]

Sonny Brown are you a mcgreggor fan ??? ........... just asking

[@SonnyBrown]

prateek rai Yeah I am a McGregor fan and Khabib fan but above all I am a fan of martial arts. 🙏

[@R08R]

Every team knows this,there is just no escaping the inevitable. While Conor is partying and throwing dolly's on coke and booze Khabib is training his ass of.

[@successschool975]

Dude, this might be one of the most valuable martial videos of 2018.

[@EatOrLumby]

Khabib is an amazing articulate coach for positioning on your opponent

[@SonnyBrown]

He is an expert.Thanks for the support 🙏

[@johnsmithysmith1930]

What a fantastic video. Thank you Sonny Brown. The video showed just how ingenious Khabib ACTUALLY is. From his fights..I initially thought it was just a simple “grab a hold and never let go scrap”..but this shows that khabib is WAY WAY more of a tactician than we are led to believe. Fantastic video. More like this please..

[@SonnyBrown]

Thanks John🙏 I have plenty more in the pipeline.

[@JimCim78]

It's beautiful to see a real master demonstrating the intricacies of his craft.

[@M-a-k-o]

Hey Sonny, this is an amazing breakdown of one of my favorite fighters. The Eagle is the master of ground control. Your effort to involve a Russian translator for this cannot be appreciated enough. You rock.

[@chinanumber1938]

His ground game is so aggressive and efficient. I struggle to see anyone in the ufc to even come close to kabib on the ground. His style is just pure efficiently

[@Black-Cat9]

Thx Master!!

[@SonnyBrown]

Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

[@mcmfadventures7494]

Hmm i wonder from top position is this more efficient or establishing body triangle?

[@davidturov5947]

Does this work mostly only next to the cage? I just feel like there's a possibility of rolling out and get out if you're not pinned against the cage.

[@iglidraci]

this is how you are supposed to wrestle not bore everybody to death like most of wrestlers

[@SonnyBrown]

Punishment for the person on the bottom!

[@iglidraci]

Hanh did you see that barboza or johnson fight??every one is exciting when khabib takes someone down cuz they know he is gonna smash your face not just secure a position and win some points

Thx for this video. Look into catch wrestling for more of these hip rides style gameplans. I subscribe cause it looks like u are serious about this and I wanna see what u learn. stay blessed.

[@SonnyBrown]

Thank you 🙏 Yes I am a big fan of catch wrestling and folkstyle wrestling, very useful for MMA matwork 👏

[@coolhari2000]

Also, folk style wrestling (Ben Askren) for rides & control.

bjj is not fight but mi english is bad and i cant describe some words, i agree with you men

[@IrishTechnicalThinker]

This is why I stopped doing MMA and ran back to boxing immediately.

[@SonnyBrown]

Yeah its not much fun training when you have to be on the bottom.

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

Lol

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

Sonny Brown I use to be like you. And hated also to know that I have weakness's, so I kept on training. I can now fight off of a ground as much as I can fight on the ground.

I always throw myself into the fire.

[@whatsupwhatsup9498]

Irish Technical Thinker Lol

[@juandenz2008]

Thanks ! You are a true scholar of MMA ! Seriously !! I noticed someone mentioned dirty boxing. Have you read Matt Lindland's book ? Also do you have any favorite instructional books on MMA ? I was thinking of buying some, but I hate to buy stuff and then not find it is that useful. Thanks.

[@SonnyBrown]

Hi Mate, Thanks for your kind words. I do have a copy of Matt Lindlands book and it is a great one to get if you can get your hands on it. Although it only had a small section on dirty boxing and most of it is covering wrestling for MMA, but at that it does a great job. Nearly any of the books that were published by Victory Belt are worth getting if you can find them at a decent price.

[@AnananasFanta]

Great video! :-) waiting for that Randy Couture dirty boxing :)

[@SonnyBrown]

Its on its way still will likely now include Matt Lindland and Dan Henderson in the analysis too, But like everything I been sidetracked :)

[@paragon1782]

that would be great

Thanks for the support ! 🙏

[@ismistarick70]

One word. Holy fuckin shit

[@almautuisrael6113]

Wow

[@seanakapax]

WOW....It's crazy how Khabib has programming and transitions for every move his opponent has. Moves and countermoves. He does this to everyone and soon to do it to Justin as well. As he said in the beginning, Americans have a different school of philosophy and that's why he is undefeated and will be 30-0.

[@ChristopherBong]

Friggin Genius

[@SonnyBrown]

My word ! 🙏🙏🙏

[@superlyger]

This called a ride and Antonio Inoki famously administered this in an impromptu shootfight against Akram Pehelwan in 1976.

[@SonnyBrown]

Ooooo I am going to look this up straight away ! Antonio Inoki is a catch wrestling legend ! 🙏

[@superlyger]

Sonny Brown- a little background to Inoki’s fight with Akki Pehelwan; Inoki negotiated a win and Akki refused to lose in his native country. So as you’ll notice in the fight Inoki slowly turned up the dial and in the finale , Aki’s arm was broken. Akki was the nephew of the Undefeated Great Gama, and had defeated 400lb cannibal Dictator Idi Amin.

[@DedicatedSpartan]

What's better than Khabib realistically breaking down his own style? Sonny Brown uploading it for us to see

[@HhhH-pq4po]

Dedicated Spartan He has so many moves lol

[@Tutankamun]

What a recipe!

[@SonnyBrown]

Just follow the instructions 🙏🙏🙏

[@akramnatheer]

This is gold.. the future of MMA is fight IQ. Khabib teaching ground game is worth its weight in gold

[@nicocontreras5366]

Thank you, my russian is not great so this is very apreciated.

[@SonnyBrown]

Nico Contreras No problems Nico , please subscribe as I have more videos on the way 🙏🙏🙏

[@matthewschutze6744]

So why does he do the spiral ride instead of just taking he's back with both hooks in ?

[@SonnyBrown]

Hi Matthew, People are a lot better at defending both hooks in and escaping.

[@Brucelee-pv6uf]

Khabib is my heart Khabib is my life Khabib is my everything My only dream in this life to become mma ufc champion like him😑❤

[@eddiex7311]

Wondering if Connor is watching this.... An now wondering if he is ever gonna read this.... What's up man, Stockton CA

[@thebearserker9628]

I have you done any research on Kevin Lee, I think some of his GnP is working awesome especially what he did in the Barboz a Fight.

[@SonnyBrown]

Ive done a little bit but will do more in the future as he really has what it takes to become champion.

[@thebearserker9628]

Cannot wait to see that bro 😁

[@CR-ot2ee]

Khabib the GOAT Of GNP 👊👊

He is the man !

[@Justintdot]

For anyone wondering it's a leg ride In wrestling

[@SonnyBrown]

Cheers! 🙏🙏🙏

[@user-vo6kj6cl6w]

He threw in a turk. That leg ride was critical to my success in high because many polenta weren’t ready for itbut in college everybody was skilled at it. Great move

[@pass1144]

That's why Conor is retiring or waiting to fight bums like Diaz or Alvarez.

[@SonnyBrown]

I hope he comes back and we get to see that fight 🙏

[@dondawati4345]

There should be a grappling competition that allows ground and pound...

[@aidanmagill6769]

I hold you here and win by decision

[@SonnyBrown]

Winners are grinners !

[@ahmedkhalid7241]

He used this and stayed there for 2 mins agaist barboza

[@SonnyBrown]

Spot on ! 🙏🙏🙏

[@praveene5921]

He does this to Michael Johnson

[@SonnyBrown]

Spot on ! 🙏

[@andrewmuriithi2148]

If Conor can't KO Khabib in the Round 1 or 2, that will be the last we see of him in lightweight . He has to rock Khabib early in the match to stand any chance coz once his power is gone, he will get killed .

[@SonnyBrown]

That seems about right. I just hope that fight actually happens.

[@EVO6-]

James Danowski he can tko him as well? The exact same arguments are being made as for the Alvarez fight. Yes Khabib is a better wrestler than Alvarez, but he's a worse striker, so he's even more fucked on the feet

[@EVO6-]

James Danowski um yes he did. That fight ended up on the cage for about half a minute

[@andrewmuriithi2148]

He froze ... one of the most disappointing fights by Eddie . He didn't move, Conor just lit him up.

[@huckleberryharrison6248]

Conor was taken down by Mendez who isn't as talented or as strong as Khabib. Seeing Conor be demolished on the ground by Khabib would be satisfying but he's a businessman first. He'll never accept that fight. Conor is brash but smart.

[@ufcboxing4434]

What is is technique called that Khabib is doing ?!

[@SonnyBrown]

At the moment as far as I know no one has really given it a specific name that has caught on, I just call it the Khabib Smash Position :) Its descriptive name is a Single Leg ride with inside wrist control/wrist ride.

[@ufcboxing4434]

Sonny Brown ok and he did to Micheal Johnson

[@SonnyBrown]

@@ufcboxing4434 He sure did!

[@BrendanDormanMMA]

Fuck yeah Sonny, tweeting in 3....2....

[@SonnyBrown]

Thank you Brendan ! Appreciate it.

[@BrendanDormanMMA]

Sonny Brown always 🤜🏻🔥

[@karolic112]

sambo vs jiujitsu what is mean :D

[@Vamavid]

So Khabib _did_ anticipate that McGregor would get so desperate that he'd grab Khabib's gloves!

[@DaRkShadOwxXx14]

So this doesn’t work very well when they’re not up against the cage?

[@SonnyBrown]

It can still work not up against the cage, but one of the biggest means of escapes is freeing the hand and rolling to the back , which the cage will help prevent. 🙏

[@ianchairul486]

Johnson has taken this raw, and i feel bad about that.

[@Ophiuchus123456789]

I wont watch the full video as I want to imagine the video goes like this: - "I take chim down. I smesh him in the face. I smesh him in the ribs. I keep chim down some more. He break cheart. He break chis face. He break chis mind. I keep smesh until man no longer wants to fight. This is true. You know dis Dana."

This is a pretty accurate description haha 🙏

This is actually great for Conor- as the fight hasn't happened yet and I bet someone on his team is lurking on this video (or will be soon)

[@jah12wi]

Connor is screwed if he gets him in this spot

[@alldirty1370]

He’s gonna get punched a couple times HARD before he gets the takedown. Will he survive? If he does that might be it but who knows I rarely see him finish people so next round the danger is back... very interesting fight

[@SonnyBrown]

This is the big question and it is so hard to judge against someone who is undefeated. But we will get to find out eventually, that is the beauty of the sport 🙏🙏🙏

If they do their face will not be the same

[@alansmith888]

Fucking scary. There isnt much anyone in the LW division can do about Khabib when he takes you down.

[@SanglierSaucisson]

This position is a nightmare to be in, when you're under off course

It is brutal 🙏

STAY AWAY FROM THE CAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Decent advice 🙏

[@13TrafalgarLaw]

How the hell to escape from this before you are dead ? These moves have so so so small details. A BJJ cannot only a wrestler can! Step 1 Move to the center of arena fast, Step 2 Spin very fast to the right before your opponent does.

[@SonnyBrown]

Yeah spinning to your back before they can get the wrist. Downside is you are on your back 🙏
