If sambo were easy it would be called bjj

Modern day competition BJJ is one of the most terrible bases for MMA. No explosion, guard flopping, subpar takedown arsenal, etc.

It’s cute if you want to be a nerd and roll with soccer moms and out of shape Magic the Gathering players, but Sambo is a much better base for MMA.
Depends what country you live in. In most countries sambo is almost non-existent and the most skilled and fittest submission grapplers will be in BJJ gyms or BJJ classes at MMA gyms.
 
Let me prove bjj is better then Sambo buy challenging Sambo guys to a round of bjj
The ones who claim to be better at something, are the ones who need to prove by showing it. In this case it was the sambo guys who claimed to superior grapplers and submission artists.
 
god damnit @D 1 Wrestler I thought we were getting somewhere and that you were gonna get therapy for your Khabib Derangement Syndrome.

Looks like almost 5 years since you’ve started renting out headspace for free we’re back at square one and you’re still as butthurt as ever.

have to say I’m disappointed

Just posting news bud, don't get so upset that khabib team is not good at pure grappling, at least they didn't enter a wrestling tournament. Americans would have not allowed them to score a single point

It was actually quite surprising to see the dagi team pulling guard. I was sure they would score the two takedown points and then just stall, but they pulled guard, tapped or just quit.
 
Why do bjj guys not fight Sambo guys under Sambo rules ?

Can't take a punch ?

There's no punching in Sport Sambo. Sport Sambo allows limited submissions and the ruleset generally just sucks.
There's a reason you don't see sport sambo guys taking ADCC.

Comparing Combat Sambo to BJJ would be like comparing MMA to BJJ.

Wrestling is still the base of the gods.
