Khamzat is a wrestler

[D 1 Wrestler]

Wrestled his entire life, not sambo. Please stop thinking he's like khabib or fedor. He already destroyed one of khabibs sambo world champ team mates. I truly wish more russian wrestlers would transition to mma but unfortunately very few do despite wrestling being the best base for MMA.

Correction, he's a wrestler with dynamite in his hands

But is he a D1 wrestler? Cause the sambo guys excel at killing that type of wrestlers

Unfortunately sweden does not participate in NCAA programs otherwise he would be

Is he even Swedish? Guys here keep saying he’s dagestani and khabibs neighbour or protege or something

Christ on a cross, another genius thread from D1 Wrestler...

Who said he was a sambo guy? I thought it was well known he is a lifelong wrestler

He is a K-1 Kan Krusher. Imo

 

[Iron Skin]

Khamzat also did Judo

 

[kwijyboy]

Meerscheart prepared for Sambo

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Thought Kham was a karateka

wtf was I thinking...?

 

[Deleted member 546119]

Sambo is levels above D1 wrestling

Still shook from Khabib from exposing overrated shitty college folk style

 

[Dana's Plight]

Meerchardt prepared for Sambo

Most Russian MMA fighters from the Caucasus have a wrestling background. I believe it's the national sport in Dagestan and Chechnya. And in freestyle wrestling which is arguably tougher than NCAA wrestling.

That said, the days of wrestlers dominating MMA are over. Everyone cross trains now and TDD has improved. I'm with you that wrestling is a great base for MMA but it's not enough anymore. Khamzat is successful because he has great grappling and striking to go along with his wrestling.

Is he even Swedish?

If you would consider a child of two white parents, born & raised in Mongolia, as an authentic Mongolian, then yes, he’s Swedish.

Yeah he would because he'd be having to cheat and hold on to Khamzat's trunks to try to avoid getting clowned easily.
