Byrd with a khabibesque performance tonight

[Verace]

Granted, the guy he fought was not proven like the opponents khabib has fought, but his style reminded me lot of him.

Relentless grappling with a lot of gnp.

It was his ufc debut if im not mistaken, and i hadnt seen him before.

Did yall see the similarities in their game? Khabib is years ahead of him, but i see potential.

Byrd is consistently surprising. I’m genuinely interested to see how he develops.

Not bad to be compared to Khabib... even if just on a message board.

Early in his mma career he was mostly muay thai standup (he's one of saekson janjira's best students) but in the last 4 to 5 years he's trained exclusively on grappling to be more well rounded

Years ago he got fucking ragdolled/choked on the ground on an axs tv card against a purple belt and ever since then he has improved his grappling

He's an example of what you SHOULD DO if your one dimensional (start cross training and get good at your weakness).
