Media Throwback: Islam Makhachev vs Zabit Magomedsharipov

[Game_Bred_Irish]

I personally think Zabit beat Islam, Islam couldn't get back up after Zabit took him down, Zabit landed better strikes on the feet, and while Islam came close with the arm bar, he coudn't finish it and got stood up for no action, being a stalemate position.

Get in here bro, we need your unbiased opinion

 

[MEAN357]

A Muslim won, which is usually the case in UFC matches

I honestly expected an in depth technical breakdown praising both fighters but you took the path of least resistance

Yo Zabit is huge. As bad as his heart condition was, he def increased the danger/fatigue by fighting at FW.

Zabit in 3 rounds Islam in 5 rounds /endofdiscussion

Only in the manlet divisions bro

Islam won. He was able to get a more dominant position and land more significant ground and pound, plus had a submission attempt. The sub attempt most likely got him the win in that fight even if it was defended. He came closer to trying to win/finish the fight compared to Zabit. If there was no submission attempts it could've been a draw.

 

[Bilzerian]

Islam won. But 155 Zabit is monster

 

[hswrestler]

Crazy thing is that i had zabit winning

 

[Elvis.]

I really wish Zabit didn’t retire

 

[BoxingMMA]

I think Fedor beat Arona

 

[User9992]

Islam beat him Combat Sambo

@Ackmed also, I observed at the weigh ins that Islam did not have to cut so much weight because his "lower body" is very small and he doesn't like to weigh in with his pants off. is that true?

 

[Rank Squatter]

Once you actually go to the underground Russian site and view the records of the SAMBO matches .. you will see just how dominate Khabib, Islam, and Zabit were

I'm sure most agree already the names on their Sambo resume is insane

Imagine fighting that much in such a short period and dominating guys back to back to back

 

[Question]

Damn rip @Game_Bred_Irish.
Was wondering where he was at.

[RedMountain]

I miss Zabit.

 

[Tweak896]

Never thought I'd see Zabit takedown Islam, that's crazy. He is a giant what could be for the UFC, too bad he retired early.
