So li jingliang is the same level as adesanya. Wow. He will be a small mw imo and likey get his shit pushed in by the likes of costa, vettori. Let alone adesanya.
Khamzat isn’t a small MW by any means. He’s 6’2 and has a 75 inch reach. He was also the Swedish wrestling champ at 92kg ( 203 pounds). He would be 200+ pounds in the octagon fighting at MW.
 
Fighters having gym wars just spells trouble for the long term. He may need a little hard sparring right before a fight but he should not be having gym wars like so many fucking meathead coaches do that grew up in the later part of the last century.

This is basically how my favorite fighter spent her prime in the gym and was already falling off as she entered the UFC but continued the gym wars at ATT. It probably didn't help that people supposedly dropped what they were doing and lined up to watch. That shit just reinforces this horrible mentality and some coaches are just hard wired to persist this practice.

I'm not against hard sparring but it needs to be extremely limited like how GSP preaches it. Do it as a final fine tuning process as you peak but outside of that learning is best done at play. Slow play.

Here is an example of what the vast majority of sparring should look like.

 
Khamzat is lucky that Americans no longer values savagery in society and that is why Dagestanis are taking over. Not because Dagestan is good but because GOAT country no longer is interested in MMA training.

Its sad to see that modern western kids want to do some bullshit pussy dance on Tik Tok as oppose to actually work hard to develop REAL skillset. Society is getting weaker and you can see it when you compare teens today vs teens in the 90s. Kids today are scared to make eye contact and start a conversation. Living in the online world has made them docile.

Good for Dagestan for capitalizing on the weakness of modern Americans but that DOES not make them better. Only best of the worse of modern times.
 
I think Burns would be a solid next opponent for Chimaev. A lot of stars would have to align for either fighter to get a title shot after that bout, but a victory should put either man one more win from a title shot.
 
Ok, i will put this out as disclaimer: dude is solid talent, and a solid sportsman(despite his trash talk)

But... A guy from Chechnya should maybe be a bit more diplomatic. I know its just the accent, but again, a guy from Chechnya should not say "I smesh all these gheys." This man needs a Chechnyan Ed Soars, ASAP.

Khamzat puts the fear of God in the ABC community
 
Those are very few people. It's the bright lights and pressure that gets them. The majority is the same in practice and in fights. If people aren't good during training you wouldn't assume they would be good during the big fights. That's not how it works. People get scouted from their training in all sports, especially ball sports. Higher percentage people performing well in practice also perform well during the games/fights.
I need to clarify. There are a small percentage of guys that when the pressure is on they come up big. There are also some that fold like a cheap accordion. Robert Horry was a guy that came up with the big shot. Larry Bird was very good in the clutch. Khamzat seems to have an intangible that you can't teach.
Larry Bird in that playoff game against Dominique and the Hawks is legendary as is this.......
