News [Sherdog detectives needed] Gilbert Burns

[wisdom blows]

We shouldn't assume that they're big name wrestlers. It's not like Khamzat is an olympian or anything.

close to that level.

 

[wisdom blows]

2 months of Soviet style wrestling training against 20 years of it. Burns is fucked lol.

 

[Jarvan]

Says he’s brought in 2 big Russian wrestlers to help him train for Khamzat. If he really wanted to keep it a secret he shouldn’t have mentioned it. Now I’m curious. Any clues or ideas?

He also said that he 'doesn't give a shit about his wrestling'

Gilbert in for a world of hurt and a trip back down to LW pretty soon

He's brought in the Koloffs,Ivan,and Nikita.

Now Ivan being dead might be a problem,but not one that cant be solved.

I was about to say the same thing. While not a Russian, I hear the Iron Shiek is there as well. He'll bring those Persian exercise thingies (not sure what they're called but he was working out with them decades before kettlebells got popular).

Thassa rite,Iranian Hossein Kozrow,Olympica wrestler,thassa rite,MOST HEAT in all wrestling belong to the shieky baby. I love the sherdog. I love the MMA. I love the Khabeeb break Conor back make humble. I help the Gilbert Burns. ALWAYS in the gym,always training. And after the party with the gimmicks, Maybe Gilbert become my medicine friend.

Karelin and Tolstoy, my sources have confirmed.

I heard it was Ben Askrenkov and Dmitri Cormier. Could just be a rumor, though.

 

[StonedLemur]

They were the guys who answered his craigslist ad, obviously.

Just search craigslist for man seeking men to wrestle with and you'll find the post.

I feel like that search may lead elsewhere lol.

 

[eighterumg5]

I know a guy who answers these posts. He has a weird habit of showing up greased from head to toe.

 

[Grill master]

Imagine getting into a bar fight with someone that looks like this....

He is a scary fighter for sure. I'd just run as quick as I can.

A 6-week training camp isn't going to prepare you to beat a high level, lifelong wrestler like Khamzat.

Dustin flew out wrestlers and Sambo fighters to prepare for Khabib. Masvidal also trained with wrestlers for Usman. Neither was able to make up the deficit. It will go down the same way for Burns.

You talk like Burns is a striker.

Yeah, I think you're right. My sources suck.

 

[Luckyme]

He's a BJJ guy trying to beat someone with a lifetime of wrestling experience through 6 weeks of training. It won't be enough.

Masvidal and Porier are BJJ black belts too. Neither could outwrestle their opponents despite similar wrestling focused training camps.

Did you really just compare Jorge/Dustin BJJ to Burns?

 

[ilfirin]

Yeah that's not going to make any difference what so ever.

Krusher Kruschev or Boris Zhukov. Solved.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

He’s gonna train enough wrestling to get caught up and ko’d on the feet worried about the Td’s

This is MMA, not BJJ. How many high level BJJ champions have we seen lose to even get submitted by lesser grapplers in the UFC? My point was, no matter how well you know submissions, you are not going to be able to improve your wrestling enough to stop a monster like Khamzat.

Burns’ BJJ maybe gives him a better chance than Porier and Masvidalof landing a hail mary submission off his back if Khamzat makes a mistake but he will most likely suffer the same fate as those two.

 

[dog y]

Translation error, he said Rush In wrestlers

Like GSP?
Surely blast double incoming

2018 and 23 y/o Khamzat could have pursued a career in wrestling but instead chose to fight MMA. He was a dominant freestyle wrestler in Sweden. I don't know why you got upset. Put me on ignore.

Dominating wrestling in Sweden does not make you world class.

Yes, I'm aware. That's why I specified Sweden. I didn't mean for people to think I was saying he was going to hop in a career with wrestling and start racking up golds.
