Gegard Jackson imosorry, I totally made that up because i thought he looks like greg jackson.
If I add an edov to the end of my name do you think they'll let me on the team?
Gegard Jackson imo
Do these guys also train at red fury?
It's crazy how many prospects are emerging in Russia right now. Every time I close my eyes a new guy with an impossibly hard name to pronounce is undefeated.
You are totally right! I only might add that not only Khabib but all of them spend quite a lot of time in RussiaI think Red Fury is just a group of fighters managed by Sam Kardan. Includes ufc fighters Rashid Magomedov, Adam Khaliev, Amagov, and Khabib. Other guys like Shamhalaev, Khusein Khaliev, Magomed Sultanakhmedov, and Alan Kaytukov.
Rashid at Team Takedown
Khabib at AKA
Adlan at Jacksons
Sha at Bombsqaud
Adam Khaliev, Khusein Khaliev, Adam Kantiev at ATT
Though iirc, Khabib def spends time in Russia and a few of them spend time at AMA as well.
All training at different locations, so it doesn't seem like they all train together on a regular basis.
(though russian sherdoggers like Touch might have more info about this, it's hard to keep track of)
Agree with your comment about the flood of prospects from the region. Quickly closing in on Brazil with the amount of talent being groomed there.
The 2008 US wrestling team is also undefeated in MMA with a similarly impressive combined record. It would be interesting to see these bad ass Russians fight some of the 2008 US wrestling team and see whose "0" has got to go.
A couple things lead me to believe they are one in the same.
that dude is 29

"Shamil Magomedov is only 20 years old but has shown great potential in his Sambo competitions. Shamil has recently made the transition from Sambo over to mixed martial arts. Shamil is only 20 years old but has a lot of combat experience already. Magomedov started wrestling when he was in grade school. Soon after Shamil transitioned over to Sambo, training with top MMA lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov. Shamil fought and won many Sambo tournaments as a youth including 1st place at the youth European Championships and a year later taking 2nd in the adult division. In 2013 Shamil won the Combat Sambo Championship of Russia and then came in 2nd in the World Championship. Now Shamil Magomedov wants to have the same success with MMA inside the RUFF cage."
