I have a prediction that against Dagestan wrestlers you need to let go, believe in your hand

[Ser das Trevas]

And get it into your head that this is not a decision fight, a knockout yes or yes.

And many are on their way to being exposed if they face someone with this mentality, mainly because most of them are ridiculous on the feet, average.

Chimaev was almost exposed by Gilbert Burns exactly because of this, Gilbert Burns didn't hold back, didn't think about the decision, trusting in the points.

PS: I know Chimaev is not from Dagestan, but he has a similar style and comes from a common area.

See red?

You needs to fill teh cage with uppercuts.

 

[BJJ4Tone]

Simply touch them with teh jab.



p.s. Chimaev isn't Dagestani.

p.p.s None of the Dagestanis are just wrestlers. They're almost all VERY well-rounded in striking, wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu.

 

[The Siege]

No, against the elite Dagestani fighters, you need to have good enough grappling to cause a stalemate or beat them in it, then you have to have good enough cardio to last during those grappling sequences, then you have to have good enough striking to avoid getting out struck and to out strike them. Someone like Arman can do it. Or one of the other elite Easterners that @HuskySamoan always talks about. This is if you want to beat them reliably and consistently.

Of course, in MMA anything can happen, so a quick KO or sub is possible, but wouldn't count on it happening on a consistent basis.

Plus Chimaev is not Dagestani

They should all watch Frozen to hype themselves up before fighting Dagestanis

The only ones I see fighting well with their fists are Islam Makhachev and Magomed Ankalaev.

Umar just out struck Cory.
Usman looks pretty decent too so far.

Usman Nurmagomedov, Umar Nurmagomedov, Zabit Magomedsharipov, remember Muslim Salikhov?

 

[tramendous]

I just got off the phone with Justin Gaethje, Dustin Poirier, Volkanovski, oliveira. They said ‘holy shut why didnt i think of that?’

Well, first of all, there's more to being a great striker than just "fighting well with their fists".

Umar Nurmagomedov just out-struck Cory Sandhagen, who is one of the best strikers at BW.
Muslim Salikhov is a great striker. Zabit was a great striker. Shara Bullet is a great striker.
Aliaskhab Khizriev has competent striking. As does Said Nurmagomedov and Ikram Aliskierov.
And that's just in the UFC. Outside of the UFC, you have Usman Nurmagomedov, who is a great striker. Magomedkerimov, Magomed Umalatov, Ramazan Kuramagomedov, Movlid Khaybulaev. The list goes on...

One could argue that Khabib had the worst striking of ANY Dagestani fighter and he still out-struck Edson Barboza and Conor McGregor.

Arman Tsarukyan has similar wrestling as the Dagestanis because he trains with dagestanis and the Caucasus wrestling is practically the same among chechens, dagestanis, georgians and armenians
