These Russians are destroying MMA

They're relentless with their takedowns and its easy for them to win unless you get a perfectly timed shot or gas.

Every fighter who is up and coming or thinking about getting in to the sport seriously needs to learn grappling.
 
People in this thread weren't around for strikers getting caught in closed guard for 30 minutes or Miletich Fighting Systems point-fighting or the rise of lay'n'pray or the rise of wall'n'stall.

Russians today aren't doing anything new or more boring than what we've seen before. I'd rather see a skilled grappler smother an opponent than two sloppy strikers banging each other.
 
It's gay to complain about it. Why doesn't America produce great fighters who can beat them? That's what you should be whining about.
He's Brazilian. America has nothing to do with this beef.

There's 4 great places for MMA origin. In no order, America, Brazil, Russia, Japan

Let's let these two fight it out.

We're nowhere near as comfortable and enthusiastic about getting basically naked and rubbing against other men for hours a day, it's a cultural disadvantage.

These Russian mountain dudes are just naturals at it

What beef? I see tons of Americans on social media complaining about the neckbeard dominance so that's what I'm reacting to.

I have nothing against American fighters btw. I just think it's weak to complain about it. This is MMA, not a court room. Get better or shut up.
