I'm still buzzing from the main event. It was an absolute masterclass. After the fight, my girlfriend turned to me and, completely seriously, asked why I don't cuddle her like Khamzat did.
It got me thinking. You see, the way a top-tier grappler like Khamzat controls his opponent is a perfect parallel for a really good cuddle. It's not about brute force, but about leverage, pressure, and securing a dominant position.
A great cuddle, just like a great takedown, starts with setting up the move. You've got to find the right angle and timing. Once you're in, it's all about sinking in your hips, getting your center of gravity low, and using your entire body to apply pressure evenly. It's that firm, inescapable sense of being completely secured.
Forget the limp-arm, half-hearted shoulder hug. We're talking about a full-body clinch. Head control, underhooks, and maintaining a tight connection so there's no space for them to escape. It's a statement of complete control, but in the most loving way possible.
So, who's with me? What are your secrets to a championship-level cuddle?
