If sambo were easy it would be called bjj

[SG123]

Because most of them don’t train any striking and don’t bragg that they would win under sambo rules or claim other silly bs.

Which sambo practitioners are claiming they would win under BJJ rules?

 

[SG123]

Truth

Are there any wrestling based champions in the UFC?

 

[SalvadorAllende]

This still happened

D 1 Wanker is pathetic.

lol has there EVER in the entire history of Sherdog been one poster MORE traumatized than TS due to a SINGLE fight?

It really stands alone. Half decade now and it still haunts his every waking moment

Have you heard of Jonathan Jones?

Have you heard of Jonathan Jones?

I wouldn’t describe Jon’s approach as wrestling focussed. Even if you want to count him that’s just 1 champion

Striking seems to be the best base for MMA

If UFC was easy is would be called PFellator

If you're not tying up your opponent like a pretzel before dropping them on their head, are you even a real grappler?

Wtf

 

[Appylion]

This again...

The comparison of BJJ and Sambo per se was more than stupid and I wonder why Kabeb would ever say something like that!? Like, its not even comparing apples and oranges, its even way worse and every casual, or Shermano, comparing those two would be totally torn in pieces if he would try to find a comparison.

One is a pure grappling based sport with no punches and kicks while the other one could be seen as a not that far away version of amateur MMA with Punches, Kicks and submission. I struggle to find an equally stupid comparison to show how stupid it was, not even "if Boxing was easy it would be called Kickboxing" can be used as example because they at least have in common that they are both pure stand up disciplines.

We're not discussing approach, we're discussing their base

Okay, 1 champion with a wrestling base

Wtf

That's probably precisely what Naruse thought right before getting the CTE.

Interestingly, the entry is surprisingly legit. He starts like he is closing in for a bodylock but grabs the opponents wrist with his right arm and feeds it to his left hand behind the opponents back. Then he pulls the right arm out and starts framing the neck to create the distance to guillotine the opponent, who only has his right arm left to try fighting the choking hand. In that process Volk Han grabs that wrist as well and there you have the pretzel of pain.

TS still sour over Khabib embarrassing him before and after all fights

Change thread title to Aikido because it is an insult to BJJ!!

Ok and how many former champs and ranked fighters?

That may be the only legitimate part of any of Volk Han's MMA fights cause everything else was a work.
