Chael Sonnen talks Khabib Nurmagomedov's UFC 219 performance

[Arm Barbarian]

Chael dialing in on some of the things that made Khabibs performance extra special tonight.

*Despite the lay-off, his PACE was second to none.

*When he closed the distance, he never let Barboza REGAIN it. He was stuck to him like Velcro. with smothering, non-stop pressure.

*His ability to completely control the opponents legs from ANY position while dropping down brutal GnP.

 

[Rider1]

what made it special was his confidence to throw that flying knee and run forward striking like that

 

[Frankie Baby!]

His conditioning was suprising to me TBH, the pressure he was able to constantly put on Edson was insane.

That's what happens when you get the shit beat out of you, he didn't stop trying though so stop trying to take credit away from the performance.

Besides his stellar wrestling, the guy’s cardio is insane. Killer combo.

Sonnen continues to impress with his analysis. Way better than rogan, ariel or any of those guys.

 

[Leinster Rugby]

Massive respect from the mean streets of west linn all the way to Dagestan

 

[Summoning]

I was expecting khabib to win. But not in that brutal fashion.

He even out strike Barboza. And some shertard still question his striking.

Cruz made an interesting point during fight, he mentioned Khabib being injury prone as he never stops training (thus increases risk of injury), but this constant training is what keeps his amazing cardio at peak levels. Cruz would know something about this...

i wasn't taking credit away from the win what are you talking about?

all i said was Edson looked done after the 1st rd. stop being an asshole.

It was the way you said it though, like he gave up rather than got beat up.

 

[RyuHayabusa]

Chael knows

 

[Caio]

Chael's channel is really good. Love his concision, five minute videos are enough.

It was a clinical performance but his striking is still rudimentary. He marches forward with his chin up, can't check a leg kick and throws wildly. His takedown game and chin seem to fool people like you into thinking his standup is good...it isn't.
