4 time world sambo champion my A**!

What is crazy is that it not a joke, it really was the reason for many of the wins and many of loses of the German military during that war at that specific time. Pervitin.
Modern militaries still use amphetamines to this day
 
<WellThere>

It blows my mind that almost nobody else sees this, or still thinks Ukraine needs billions because they could be overrun any day now :rolleyes: TBH I think at this point the "war" itself is staged.
Yeah, that’s what it is. The war itself is fake.
 
he is not a sambo champion.
Hand to Hand combat is another martial art.
and he most likely got injured in the fight.
 
Them Russkies have clearly gone as soft as every other nation's males. They can't even successfully invade Ukraine after 3 years. Hell, it took the Germans less time to conquer all of continental western Europe in the 40s with far less advanced weaponry!
Maybe they like long wars $
 
If you want to understand russian military, then you have to understand their culture.

They got lot of influence from byzantine empire: leaders are holy men and empire is surrounded by barbarians etc. Its not allowed to challenge putin or his inner circle. So....if shit is fucked at battle, then its about witch hunt: who failed? They treat officers like shit and usually people are too terrified to give honest information.

Finland did so well against russia because finns know their forests and they had and still have mobility in snowy terrain. You have to stop russian momentum. They got more hands so you cant trade punches one to one.
 
They are batting for the same side, if they really wanted to conquer it they would have done it in a matter of weeks, a couple months tops.

An ongoing war benefits the elites a lot more.
We just got out of a 20 year war on terror brought to you by Haliburton, Blackwater, and Palantir shareholders. We didn't accomplish anything, and somehow people still don't understand that war is a racket.
 
Kopylov simply did not have a good strategy last night. After he was dropped he fought to survive instead of to win. Any fighter, regardless of discipline, who fights to survive instead of win against a more aggressive opponent will lose the fight most of the time.
 
Ez meal for Costa.

Not even worthy of an opponent.
Championship material? Lol. Those other sambo competitors must be cans
Is that what commentators said? Kopylov has nothing to do with sambo, he won titles in hand-to-hand combat (if I am not mistaking striking sport with limited work on the ground).
 
Dude just ain't wanna fight.

If he was Brazilian we would be getting a tweet soon about injuries and staph infection, I don't,know how Russians handle that ish maybe dude got hurt by an early kick or may e he came in banged up but he did not look like he was coming to compete with a man in a fierce fist fight
 
Sambo & Combat Sambo are completely different sports.
 
Which combat sambo federation? Khabib's world combat sambo federation is kind of the fake or less prestigious one. His federation is closer to amateur MMA than combat sambo. You can see some of their matches and they don't even wear the jacket.
 
Lol I remember sherdoggies thought Sambo was all the rage when Khabib was on top. Each week there'd be a "bjj is dead" thread. Always the clueless making the most bold claims, so funny.
How long have you been training in BJJ and under who? What level did you make it to in Wrestling? As you must be super experienced if others are "clueless".

He is indeed a x5 World Combat Sambo Champion.

Do you even know the difference between Combat and Sport Sambo or do you hear Sambo and assume it's just one thing?

I know the difference, but the problem is that you have read his english wikipedia page and now you think you know all there is about him(they don't know the difference either and made the mistake). The difference between you and me is that I actually speak russian fluently, and know quite a bit more about that world than you.
He is a champion of Military Hand To Hand Combat, not Combat Sambo. So keep your ego in check next time you try to correct someone.

What does training lineage have to do with my point?
Did you make a "bjj is dead" thread?
Anyone who thinks that, is at the very least making a clueless point.

All you did was say I speak Russian, I know more than you and posted the different rules from a Russian website. Yandex is great btw, my dad showed me it, my dad is also Russian, I'm not fluent but I can speak and read enough.

I see more evidence through various sources he has won multiple combat Sambo tournaments including the official Sambo website. Sure, wiki says hand to hand combat but I can't find anything on hand to hand so unless all you did was read his wiki and assume that was 100% accurate that he's hand to hand champ without finding evidence. You can see the irony in that. But if you know more than please share, I can only learn from what I can find through multiple sources, always happy to learn more and be corrected when needed
