Al Iaquinta - Counter-Wrestling Highlights/Breakdown

[ChaelSonnen]

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

Yeah, he is still getting Khabib Smeshed ™

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

I am not liking the look of that cage work. Good sprawls and solid clinch game...but nothing that I think will be enough

 

[DarkneT]

... someone really made this video?

Fuck me

 

[JustBleed69]

All I saw was him getting taken down.
Alot.

Khabib smesh

 

[AndrewGolota48]

Damn...just saw that vid and now I’m even more convinced Al bout to get smashed!

Most likely, but at least he has better wrestling than Pettis or Felder.

 

[Char Jawz]

These guys are counter wrestling too. Well, more like all out kitchen counter fighting.

 

[Blayt7hh]

I watched it for a minute and he got taken down three times. He got back up was all. Yeah let Khabib get his hands wrapped around you, you aren't getting away again until the bell rings...

 

[kabanos]

Oh dear God.

That's gonna be a slaughter.

Barboza was nothing compared to what were gonna see tonight.

 

[rurouni]

I'm the champ tennis player at my club and look great. But it would look diff against Federer

Unless you are Trujillo, in which case you are able to get up 27 times.

 

[The ScorpioN]

That video just made me question my hyping of Al's wrestling.



Looks like Khabib is gonna have his way with him.

He didn't really get up most of the time. He started to stand and got dragged back down before he had the chance.

Fuck me

Al's mom.

 

[bryank]

Al's key to victory isn't to shut down Khabib's wrestling, since that's not possible. His key is to taking advantage of the time on the feet and getting his power punches in when he has the chance. Then surviving on the ground or getting up to give himself more opportunities.

This is what I am thinking too. He wont be able to defend Khabib's wrestling and has to land good shots while he is on his feet.

 

[ChaelSonnen]

Bumping for those betting on this fight, I gotchu
