[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

Khamzat Chimaev and Jack Hermansson are set to face off in a freestyle wrestling match at Sweden-based Bulldog Fight Night 9. The bout will take place in the city of Gothenburg on November 19.

Swedish MMA and fighting news outlet Frontkick.online confirmed on Twitter that the wrestling showdown between Chimaev and Hermansson was good to go next month.



I don't know if the UFC will stop this from happening but lets hope they don't.

I don't think UFC can stop a fighter from participating in grappling bout. For example Burns, Oleynik and even O'Malley all participated in Quintet.

The UFC wont trip about this and probably approved of it. UFC is pretty cool about stuff like this

Cub Swanson, Anthony Smith, Glover, Guida, Krause, ect. Cub even blew out his knee or something.

I'd be more excited for an adcc rules match. Can't see Hermanson winning this

 

[humdizzle]

interesting. not sure why hermanson would take this. maybe just that desperate for a popularity boost ?

Because he's a fighter and most fighters like competition?

”Why would an athlete compete in a sporting event?”

yeah, I have no idea!

How? This is freestyle wrestling and not even greco roman. Should be easy for Chimaev.

 

[Adamant]

Never heard of the other guy.

 

[fortheo]

Wrestling? Chimaev should win. Hermansson would sub him in No gi submission grappling though.

You can wrestle, but don't you even think about boxing.

They've trained together a lot in the past. It's not a big deal

Hermansson would win under adcc rules without a doubt in my mind.
