Defense Against Dagestani Wrestling 101

[DaysOfThunder]

Good defense by Corey but not enough. Dagestanis grow up wrestling but not as a sport, more like a fight. They are the best.

What

 

[dildos]

I’ve stuffed every dagestanis takedown.

This just in, athletes with vastly more experience grappling or kickboxing than the majority of their opponents often enjoy success in mixed martial arts.

Now here's Tom with the weather.

 

[Paolo Delutis]

What the ESL thread is this...

Also ... Wrestling is the same everywhere the difference is the tenacity and discipline of the fighters who are using and training it..


Aka American wrestlers are lazy and arrogant, compared to a Dagistanni , whos probably wrestling for chance to eat lunch, and trains everyday no matter what...


This type of mentality makes the difference....there not just trying one takedown and resetting ...there going to keep going untill it works..big difference then most wrestlers in Western MMA or even western wrestling
..

 

[Timewave zero]

I think I know what you mean... but I'm too high to understand

 

[Khaosan]

Huge if true.

Fighters get into a defensive shell against these high level grapplers - they may do very well defending everything but their offense greatly suffers as a result. Umar learnt that as the fight went on and began to open up more, same thing with Islam/Volk (both fights), Khabib/Iaquinta, Khabib/Conor.

Merab vs. Umar would be a very interesting bout. Umar is a better all around grappler and better striker but Merab has that next-level pace and conditioning where he never stops.
