Correction: Makhachev never said Charles isn't blackbelt. He actually agreed with DC that Oliveira is a blackbelt but said poirier isn't. Makhachev even gave respect to Tony ferguson grappling skills.

I agree what it is specifically is a variation of Combat Sambo inspired by Abdulmanap Nurmagomedovs time in the Soviet Army combined with the freestyle wrestling of the Caucasus along with Judo. We should really be calling it Nurmagomedov Sambo.

Gordon Ryan said it best. Sambo guys have a much higher caliber of wrestling conmpared to most BJJ guys. Their ability to impose top position is rewarded in the MMA rule set

I think this is because the guys from Khabibs camp including himself did combat Sambo. They essentially had hundreds of mma rounds before doing mma. They are the very few people who entered a new era of mma before it was popular. They figured out what worked and focused on in and threw everything else. They did this before the rest of the world did. This is why I think if applied correctly Combat Sambo is the best martial art for mma.

BJJ alone was sufficient 30 years ago when fighters didn't understand the danger of engaging in the clinch and being taken down but that's no longer the case now that strikers know the importance of maintaining distance and being able to stuff a takedown. It's like having a gun with no ammo, you need to be in the right position for the techniques to be rendered useful.

[@ashleyalexander7388]

I don't even think this is the final iteration of MMA, there's still so many different styles. Volk gave Islam a run for his money (if he was 10lbs heavier... maybe it would have been different), so even Islam etc. has to improve his game otherwise he might get beat.. eventually, he'll get beaten but will be competitive and will probably win the belt back in the rematch or in the future.

The most obvious difference Khabib style from others is he used his hands and legs especially on the ground, as Chael said years ago, he had never seen all his life someone did what Khabib did, and last two years, Khabib was invited by the BJJ Fanatic Co founder Bernardo Faria, a 5x BJJ Black belt world champion to their gym for a demo video on how Khabib executed his style

[@camdonmaydew876]

Khabib’s team members have no gaps in their grappling skills. When I watched the One Championship grappling matches with sambo vs bjj recently I thought the sambo players would dominate the stand up and position. They seemed to me that they only had slight advantage. Those matches made me wonder if regular sport sambo players are incomplete grapplers the way most bjj players or wrestlers are and Khabib’s boys are the only one’s who have the whole formula.

[@esamemad298]

Well that's because brother khabib and his team aren't just sambo practitioners they are Dagestani sambo practitioners and I know a lot of people are about to snap on me in the comments right now saying that Dagestan is a part of Russia and they have the same sambo and I am not trying to debate that I just want you to Google the word Dagestan open the Wikipedia page that will show up look at the notable athletes section and you will understand what I am saying Dagestan not only has some Olympic freestyle and Greco and judo champions but they also have Olympic and professional boxing champions they have sanda kickboxing legends they have some very high level muaythai stadium champions they even have high-level practitioners of every form of combat they even started having more and more bjj practitioners and schools lately and they happened to be a very close community the way they treat each other for multiple reasons . so if you are a a sambo practitioner you get to train with all those people who all do different martial arts just like of you were in an MMA gym and you are a kickboxer and you need to train with a bjj blackbelt so they are basically doing MMA not sambo people say the difference is just the jacket but no in combat sambo you don't get rewarded points on striking aims to either knock your opponent out to win the match or get close to your opponent to initiate grappling so there is no reason to try and be a good striker when you are a some what decent one but when you train with sanda guys for example to drill your reactive takedowns or Muaythai guys to sharpen your striking you obviously need to be better and it's the same with every other aspect of the game if you are a very good judoka in sambo you don't have to be that good of a wrestler because in sambo judo throws are way more rewarding than double or single legs but if you go and you train with wrestling Olympic and world champions as we have seen both zabit and Islam do you gonna need to be a way better wrestler than typical sambo guys that's why Dagestani guys look so much better than normal sambo guys in any competition they get into it almost seems like they are doing a completely different martial art.

[@BobSaint]

What You have watched was a Sambo practitioner and bjj practitioner in a bjj match. How about we put both guys in a combat sambo match? Yeah, it's as simple as that.

[@camdonmaydew876]

​@@BobSaint Is the point that the Sambo guys that lost to the BJJ guys would have beat the BJJ guys under combat sambo rules? Idk maybe. Idk if those guys train a ton of striking. I counter that point (which might not have been your point, just my best guess) with Dagestani fighters would beat either of them in a BJJ, Sambo, Combat Sambo, or MMA rulesets. To reiterate and clarify my previous point, sambo guys are incomplete grapplers, BJJ guys are incomplete grapplers, Dagestani Combat Sambist are much closer to complete.

I kinda think they are doing sambo. They are not doing wrestling because Khabib and Islam have superb submission skills .

Interesting point of view, Khabib loves Judo a lot (he said it in an interview and debating with Cejudo over which martial arts is the best)

[@rw8147]

This is accurate. Pure sport sambo and judo competition are very close. Basically throws, takedowns, and armbars. Sport sombo allows leglocks but no chokes. Judo allows chokes but no leglocks. I don't think I've been to a sombo meet back in the day that did not have a judo player or two in the mix. The stuff Khabib, Islam, et al are doing is within reach of the combat and sport sombo I was doing back in the late 90's and early aughts.

Sambo is more pragmatic than you think chael.i would say that most of the take downs and wall wrestling they do is from sambo. Old sambo had a very strong juso influence aka kano jujitsu before the name was changed to judo. So the sambo was based on a much stronger robust judo to the point that judo competition rules were changed because judokas with a sambo backround kept doing moves that caught regular judokas off guard

I'm not sure they would've accepted being told they were to lose all those fights, so I think the fights were legit. Spill the beans Chael

The Gracies were loaded with cash for generations. From when they hired a Japanese Judoka to tutor their skinny kids in the early 20th century right up to the 90s (and obviously beyond). They were fighting to promote BJJ and once Sakuraba starting fucking them up, they fought for revenge. They weren't going to throw anything. Guys who were hurting for money would throw fights possibly; guys who were made offers they couldn't refuse from the yakuza would; but the Gracie family didn't throw anything.

[@carlosremierez5401]

It's not Sambo they be using combat Sambo totally different it's basically MMA with headbutts and ground kicks

[@izakarya4258]

Credit should go to Abdulmanap not Khabib. Yet he wasn’t mentioned!

[@elyt777]

It is called Dagestani wrestling. Or more broadly Caucasian (Caucasus wrestling/grappling). 3 mln population 30 UFC fighters, contenders, prospects, champs. Look at other organizations bigger and smaller ones, Bellator, PFL, ONE, ACA, Brave, ARES, etc all have Dagestani champs. Check out the world of wrestling, you'll see the Dagestanis, Chechens and Ossetians (Caucasus neighbors), like Sadullaev, Saitiev (Chechen), Sidakov (Ossetian) etc. You are right, it's not Sambo. They all have their Caucasus style wrestling base, then they move to Sambo, which incorporated Judo. Khabib school is also known for the incorporation of Judo, and Abdulmanap besides wrestling was a practitioner of Judo. So here you go, Dagestani wrestling/grappling

Sambo is a mixture of wrestling judo and jiu jitsu

Chael im pretty sure everyone in dagestan is related 😂

[@MM-qi5mk]

Never forget Dillion Danis got subdued by Paul Blart and he’s a black belt …..

[@jfergmma]

I’m going with the Dagestani guys are simply tougher than the rest because of all the wrestling and they’ve been on “vitamins” from a young age. Allegedly

[@dylanbrown3840]

Imo, "take it with a grain of" I'm a hobbyists brown belt" There are too many "Black Belts" in mma. I think it's a way to advertise your gym. I have seen some inexplicable bjj from black belts in mma. That is partially due to getting rocked and partially being promoted too early and not fully understanding bjj.

[@srali7609]

Khabibs dad taught them no gi Judo/Combat Sambo and freestyle wrestling later on they got BJJ guys in the team who also helped them. there videos on youtube where Khabibs dad lined them up and was talking about achievements and on there you can see who was doing MMA who was doing Judo, Sambo and BJJ....

[@LeelosAdventure]

Will be eye opening for a lot of casuals when khabibs team gets absolutely destroyed by B team not even trying

[@krishnablake4561]

Islam said that about Dustin not Charles. He actually praised Charles.

[@rayal4395]

We call it Dagestani jitsu!

[@eichnerm]

Gordon Ryan vs Khabib and/or all the rest of his team in a quintet form.I would take Gordon beating all five in less the five minutes of course all subs. The best Jiu Jitsu in the world is in Austin Tx.

[@6nosis]

You call it a SPORT. If you know you know.

Well said Chael🙏🏽
