Moraes training partner Magomedsharipov KO'd Aljamain Sterling at training with 360 head kick!

[Ragnus]

Magomedshapriov is the new prodigy, move aside Erick Silva!

Why the fuck would you be throwing wheel kicks at your sparring partner hard enough to knock them out?

 

[Unfinished Sentenc]

not good

 

[Peteyandjia]

Just to be clear after watching it, for anyone who can't: he's not saying that KO in training affected this fight at all, or using it as an 'excuse' as some people might call it, he makes it clear this KO happened at the beginning of the year. He's just comparing the post-concussive effects of the two KOs.

I actually have no clue, Aljamain isn't even acting bothered about it, hes even comfortable with bringing it up

Tough sport. You gotta respect these guys that put their health on the line for our entertainment.

mate this is Sherdog, the conspiracy is that Magomedshapriov knew a potential bout between Moraes and Sterling was on the horizon so he tried to inflict some early damage to make it an easier fight for Moraes

Probably just an accident then. Would seem like a good rule of thumb to just avoid those types of things though, unless dude was mimicking an opponent.

Either way, Aljo sounds like he’s had a rough year.

Zabit is the future of the FW division

 

[wh4tttt]

zabit looks like a handful for anyone.

 

[VVarhead]

You mean MaGOATmedsharipov?

 

[Workaholic]

Pretty soon we aren't just going to hear about Magomedsharipov KOing top 10 UFC fighters we're going to get to watch him do it

Dude is the future

damn aljamain is so honest.

I agree, much respect. As much as I might hate someone like Bisping, seeing him get knocked out makes me think of his health and family. Although it’s a meme at this point, this guy really said it best:

Legit like him after this interview, always thought he tried to play the cocky up and comer.

That ko was so brutal though... Was worried as fuck for him.

There's no shame in getting knocked out by a spinning kick to the back of the head, from sparring someone who fights at a higher weight class. Sterling doesn't even seem to mind it much, things like that are unfortunate but accidental.
