Maybe he realized his only way to get anywhere is if he goes full on wrestling and skips the striking because that part isn't working out for him anyways.


It’s a typical American Wrestler stubbornness, they think striking is what they have to improve on to be successful, No. Work on your grappling and Submission skills, that’s why these fighters from the Caucasus are dominating, they improved on their base, not stray away. Makhachev strayed and got Koed, went back to his base & improved on it and is dominating.

It isn’t rocket science, fighters like Couture, Ortiz, Penn’s, Hughes, St Pierre’s figured this 20years ago.

These American Wrestlwrs focus too much positions, the Usmans, Covingtons etc.

Look at Sean Brady, watching him fight brings Nostalgia to me, he’s currently one of the only american ground based fighters who is excelling in using wrestling for his submission gameZ

Russian wrestling federation have a mixture of Freestyle Wrestling,Grappling and striking called AMMA (or Pankration) but I'm agree with you. These athletes improved on their wrestling base.
 
He should have been focusing on his BJJ rather than his striking this whole time. The way he fights now is he's scared to use his biggest strength because he's afraid of getting subbed.
 
Khamzat wouldn't have to wrestle Bo. He could easily finish him with just stand up.


I'm not saying this to disparage RDR because he's both talented and awesome, but his striking is very mid. The fact that he so easily MOLLYWHOPPED Bo in every facet of stand-up (in the open, in range, dirty boxing, clinch) really puts it in perspective.

Khamzat KO's this dude or drops him then taps him.
 
I like Bo, but suggest his first internet reaction to a title fight, be about the fight, and not about himself. I am looking forward to seeing whom the UFC matches Bo against next.
 
Like Bo Dallas will ever be fighting Khamzat. This dude should worry about being able to stay on the main card
 
Bo still has a chance to come back and a matchup with Khamzat is interesting. He needs a few fights tho its too soon. Let fluffy and renner handle first. I think one of them could beat khamzat.
 
Very cool. He's a competitor. That performance motivated him. Hopefully it lasts and we get the best Bo Nickal for MMA.

Wanted to do the love reaction, but this site has AIDS right now (no offence to AIDS-havers and their fam).
