Rizin RIZIN: Otoko Matsuri ***Sherdog Discussion*** 5/4 12AM ET (RIZIN.TV)

[Mick Dojang]

Kleber in disbelief atm and I don't blame him

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Lol wtf, absolutely smoked him

There is an argument that it could have gone a little longer, but idk that Kleber had an avenue to win this fight, short of mat wizardry. Shaydullaev is the total package, he'd probably be defensive enough on the ground to prevent the sub, and Kleber was never going to win a standup fight. Shaydullaev will probably hold that belt for however long he desires to stay in Japan, definite world class talent

 

[HuskySamoan]

You seriously think Shaydullaev wouldn't beat Sandhagen?

 

[MiroHa]

That knockdown punch was nasty, it bounced off Kleber's temple after landing

 

[colorles]

Not until he proves himself to be UFC level by winning a couple of Dana White Contender Series fights of course.

I'm sure Kleber will argue it was a bit early but judging by his facial expression in the replay he was on another planet by the time he took the follow-up punches

Klebers a good fighter, I didn't expect him to get flushed like that, but yeah Shaidullaev is just a different level

 

[Mick Dojang]

Wait who gets the cow then

 

[Mick Dojang]

"Damien that was one of the best nights in combat sports history"

"Eh...yeah it was a good card"

I figured he'd at least make it to round 2. Feel for the guy, probably the toughest loss he's experienced. Like he wasn't even meant to be in the same ring

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Ueda gonna fight Shaydullaev in the locker room for it

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Good show, buds. Always a pleasure. See you at the end of the month

 

[Mick Dojang]

Ueda gonna fight Shaydullaev in the locker room for it

I mean if we're doing freakshow fights that's the one to make

 

[Mick Dojang]

See you for the next one gents, fun card as always

He wasn't. Kleber is a uhhh...a grappling specialist that's experienced and savvy but he's older, kinda a high tier journeyman and pretty unathletic/not gifted. Shaydullaev is one of the best prospects in the world, undefeated, explosive puncher, confident and was punking Dagestanis in the wrestling department. There was no path to victory for Kleber besides making something weird happen, some banana peel shit.

I know, bud, I know. I think you missed the post previous to the one you quoted. But I'm happy we agree about Shaydullaev

 

[CC27]

Shaydullaev really is special. Gotta figure by the time he's 26-27 he'll hopefully have made his way to UFC by then.

[DrRodentia]

This is a big letdown. My fault, @DrRodentia

Turns out I passed out. I failed. Must have thought I could close my eyes for a second.

 

[Bubzeh]

Let it be known, I've been telling you guys about Shaydullaev before he even dunked Khabibs boy on a UAE card, before he was even on @Hellowhosthat radar. I got an eye for talent, so many central Asians looking amazing in MMA these days.

Boy broke his arm patting himself on the back.

 

[HuskySamoan]

Boy broke his arm patting himself on the back.

Let it be known, my hands aren't broken and my back needs more pats. I'm like 20 years ahead of you goofs on this shit.
