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.

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.

the art called SMASH!

[@belalbelal4614]

smesh

[@maxxsstrengthandpowerlifti188]

Just call it position grappling. There solved it for you Chael P. No need to over think it.

[@izakarya4258]

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

[@therealjoeysalazar]

It's called fathers plan.

[@torarinvik4920]

So Chael is saying wrestling with submissions? If that's the case then he's talking about catch wresting. There's actually three forms of it: Luta livre, Shoot wrestling, british catch wrestling. Now there is one more: Smesh wrestling.

Interesting, I wonder if team Khabib faced the best bjj black belts at NAGA or EBI if they would still win. They just might. Khabib was a NAGA champ. Reguardless, Makhachev stung Olivera with a punch before subbing him via arm triangle. Their grappling is specifically tailored for mma wheras bjj wasn't. Doesn't mean it can't work but the Eastern Europeans will have a major edge.

[@brianalexander1495]

Yeah but islam completely neutralized Charles on the ground. He’d still get his hand raised after 5 rounds just by controlling top position

[@rexyz5875]

Islam trains with yuri simoes and gary tonon in aka look these guys up

[@1337Jag]

@@rexyz5875 I know who they are. They're good

[@Black-Cat9]

judo + wrestling + Jiu Jitsu =🦅from Dagestan

[@Chris-jj6ty]

Khabibs father was a master of combat sambo so it’s no surprise he was also a master at mma which is very similar to mma.

[@obaidaserdar1780]

The art we all are looking for is weaponized wrestling

[@FrozenDarkness4]

Chael im pretty sure everyone in dagestan is related 😂

[@awakenedgarou8542]

Great content

[@WattOnWheels]

Could the Nurmagomedov name be used like Muay Thai fighters where they make their last name for fight cards the same as the gym they train at? They were trained by Nurmagomedov so they use the name for fighting?

[@felipesaezkiekebusch9972]

Sambo rules bro who ever agrees or not !!! And if sambo would be easy it would be call jut jitsu lol man I fucking miss khabib

[@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.

[@rayal4395]

We call it Dagestani jitsu!

[@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

[@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....

[@zees9497]

He Said what? said - haha - Said Nurmagomedov pronounced "Sai-Eid - NurMuhammadu"

[@ballisticfish1212]

Said N is actually not trained by Khabib and is not related. Usman N is both trained by and related to Khabib.

[@avydamack1868]

Sambo is a mixture of wrestling judo and jiu jitsu

[@krishnablake4561]

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

[@josepharmand6117]

I have always liked the concept of a black belt meaning only that you are accepted as being a serious student of the martial art. Not a master...a serious student. It does away with a lot of the nonsense surrounding the notion of black belt.
