Shavkat War Wagon

He's landed similar knees against a lot of people. The spinning hook kick, the step up and knees from the clinch, head and body kicks, his left hook and a short cross seem like his favorite weapons but he was showcasing a nice long jab vs Neal and the elbows in the clinch at a couple different points definitely surprised me. His go to takedowns are the outside trip from over under and he loves setting up uchi mata throws with his back against the fence. On top he's got insane control and some of the most violent gnp I've seen, he's punched a lot of people unconscious while posturing up in their guards....fucking nasty, otherwise his submissions are guillotines, darces and rear nakeds. His defense is a bit of a tall man's defense, he's got the length, height and striking to avoid a lot of shots and while he moves his feet decently he's not too defense oriented when striking, could definitely work on his head movement, tucking the chin and blocking and/or shelling up better.

I'd like to see him continue to grow, I've seen him hit a really nice double leg vs Danil Prikaza (whos legit and good) in M1, and I know he worked with Usman at Sanford on single and double leg entries. I'd like to see him chain different takedown attempts and trips against the cage better too, he was very one and done on attempts vs Geoff. Shoot a single, if they defend don't give space and come up on a body lock, too to lift and when they adjust look to trip and maybe change direction as they try to reestablish their balance etc. He could be a little more varied and set up his takedowns more. Would like to see some low kicks, he kicks well to the body and head but doesn't throw leg kicks oddly, for such a long guy it's a nice tool to have while sitting back and forcing your opponent to close distance. Besides that, I just want to see his jab more on display, it looked good, and maybe he can open up the cross and throw it more from distance too.

Shavkats great, I want to see his takedown defense and cardio tested more so I hope he does infact fight Belal, Burns or Colby next. I honestly think he has the skill, athletic talent, mentality and time/youth to become a champion and even an impressive champion at that potentially. How he develops and adjusts tells us a lot but he has more room to grow than most talent I've seen...good with so many different weapons and strong from so many different spots and ranges. Only 28, if he can keep working with Hooft and back home, real championship level talent whether he falls short of it or not.
 
Seeing flashes of Gaethje level justbleed but with a more diverse arsenal.
Hell of a chin too, I hope it holds up. Not that there are many more devastating strikers ahead of him.
 
I feel like Hooft is not the striking coach he should roll with, but wtf do i know. He needs way more head movement, better defense in striking. Hooft is not known for that. Regardless, glad my kazahk brother is reaching the spotlight for his skills. WAR SHAVKAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONQUER THE GREAT PLATEUA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE ANCIENTS ARE WATCHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
He's got the potential to be champ, he also got the symptoms of busting...his size and agility are added bonus on what he might be in the next few fights....he's durable but we all know that's breakable...i like that he finished Neal in the 3rd...shows glimpse of good cardio....and his pace so far is incredible...his pace + knees and body kicks IMO is what really did Neal in....Him having ties with Khabib's team will do him great...they're very disciplined as a team.

His knees are so violently beautiful, he loves closing distance with them.

I never noticed how nice that setup was. Throws a very telegraphed rear hook to bait a counter then when he sees it coming brings up the rear knee on an already heavy front leg.

That's some beautiful stuff right there fellas

I like that he's at Sanford more because of the fighters he gets to train with than because I think highly of Hooft. Burns, Usman, Luque, Jason Jackson, Li Jiangliang, Ian Garry, Logan Storley etc. Just the amount of good WWs he gets to mix it up with for grappling, wrestling and sparring is phenomenal. His team in Kazakhstan Darteam has connections with Kazakh and Kyrgz wrestling teams and I've seen Shavkat work with boxing trains and gyms in Kazakhstan too...but Soviet style boxing isn't exactly know for its head movement lol, much more defensive via blocking and footwork then slipping, rolling, trunk movement etc.

Still if Shavkat can keep developing that stiff jab and get more range on the cross...hes huge problems on the feet for everyone in the division, a tall man who can fight well long and pressure well? And a nasty clinch? Super rare even in kickboxing. A low kick would be nice too. The defense can be improved a number of ways, we will see. Shavkat said he was angry at how bad he performed with his wrestling but that also Neal felt super heavy.

Yea I didn’t love how much he got hit. He took it pretty well but did got rocked there near the end and also wasn’t able to take Neal down.

Throws a half assed rear hook to get his opponent to raise their guard but the rear hook is actually just him getting the half plum so he DBZ a knee through his opponents back while their elbows lifted. Super nice indeed. Although he throws it with so much authority stepping into distance I'm not sure guys are going to block it, but opening up the path and getting your opponent defensive makes it safer to throw without being countered for sure. Dudes such a fun fighter.

again with this misconception that you need devastating power to get KTFO.

Mas and Usman possess more than enough accuracy and timing to knock this foo out Both have incredible
knockouts that were well timed. The way Shav leaves himself open hes probably going to learn the hard way that walking into punches or disregarding an opponent is the incredibly stupid

Its gon happen

Usman isn't the striker Neal is. Masvidal doesn't hit as hard as Neal either. You seem to be reaching, prepare to be disappointed.

I like the cut of your jib
 
A monster. After the last fight, I confirmed to myself that his wrestling is really not on Khamzats level, but his striking is better. So that would be a dream matchup for the belt… They both have “it”
 
WAR SHAVKAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The welterweight division has been sent a great punishment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHAVKAT SHALL CONQUER THE WW LANDSCAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAR SHAVKAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
He likes war and women? Lol. Those are definitely not the most important aspects to a fighter. War and fighting aren't the same. War is a horrible crime against humanity. And I really don't care if he likes women or men. Don't see how it would affect me what he does in his personal romantic/sexual life, so don't care.
