74kg? So Khamzat got rag dolled by someone not even legally allowed to be a Sherdogger?That's Razambek Zhamalov, a 2024 Olympic gold medalist in Freestyle at 74kg.

The guy in the video is 7-2 MMA fighter Akhmadkhan Elmurzaev.Is normal when you are practicing against one of the world's best , Olympic Champion...
If anything ... this is making Khamzat even better.
It's Chechen Featherweight fighter Akhmadkhan Elmurzaev. He's part of Khamzats team.
I think you are mistaking flakestyle with freestyleCorrect, specialization. Of course the guys who SPECIFICALLY box or wrestle in their given form are going to be the best at doing those singular things. MMA is a mix, obviously as it literally says.
On top of this, specific sports have different rules that purposefully inhibit the usage of other methods. I didn't analyze that clip but was Khamzat going by actual freestyle rules where you cannot lock hands? I believe you can't lock hands in freestyle, and I'm sure there's something you cannot do in Greco-Roman. In boxing, obviously you can only use your hands to strike so there's no threat of being kicked or someone shooting a takedown, and I believe we've seen fighters try to lean too heavily into a boxing style to get exposed by what it's weak to in MMA.
Works in reverse too, Khabib rocked McGregor with an overhand right. If it was small-gloves kickboxing McGregor would have destroyed Khabib probably and that never happens. But the threat of the takedown which already nearly happened or did happen in the fight multiple times = opening for that right hand via deception.
Technically Khamzat isn't allowed to be a Sherdogger so its not as bad as you seem to feel.74kg? So Khamzat got rag dolled by someone not even legally allowed to be a Sherdogger?

What lie? "Looks more like" is the statement. As in closer to. Clearly the guy isn't half his size now is he? Khamzat is 6'2" and as a MW lets say 200 lbs. So you are saying that other guy is 3'1" and weighs 100 lbs? Who's lying?They are clearly not the same size. Stop lying.
