WTF is with the Zabit hype...

[LaneTM]

Dude just had to get into a slugfest with Kyle fucking Bochniak and got clipped a good few times during the fight.. Has two other wins in the UFC against absolute cans (BTW his one loss is by armbar LOL) yet apparently he is a grappling machine.. He has length and range but tbh doesnt mean much against higher level FW's.. how can 93% of shertards think this dude can outstrip Yair? (Who before the frankie fight was the next great FW.)

PLEASE bookmark this thread for after Yair destroys him.

He did a move off the cage once.

GOAT!!

 

[notori0us1]

He fought Kyle with a broken hand

Ahh yes because Yair is a grizzled veteran who has only fought the best of the best for years in the UFC lol

Im not sure if you are aware but the fans arent blind. They saw what zabit is capable of and want to see that as much as possible. Excitement and adventure by the fighting abe lincoln of dagestan. Hop on in theres room on his nuts for one more.

He didn't "have to", he probably could have fought a bit more conservatively and his gas tank might not have emptied. He looked awesome and barely got touched before that.

What's funny about an armbar? Some of the greatest fighters lose early in their career, and submission is a very common way. Jose Aldo got arm bared early in his career.

Legnth and range if used well are good tools, being a high level FW doesn't negate that. That conor mcgregor guy did pretty good at FW with length and range.

Yair isn't special. Zabit will probably best him.

Zabit is just a great prospect. He doesn't look unbeatable but he's very good and very exciting, and he could get better. If you can't see what the hype is about by watching him then how can someone explain it to you?

Abe Lincoln of Dagestan...

Zabit hasn't done much yet. But it's apparent to many that he's well rounded, dangerous, saavy, and has a high ceiling. Who knows how well he'll develop, but this is what hype is for. It's a growing sense of excitement that this guy might be great.​

It does seem a bit overblown. He throws fancy shit, but isn't that effective with it. Time will tell, but he doesn't look like he would be a challenge for Max ATM.

Sherdog has something for EXPLOSIVE guys.

I'm more impressed by his agility and fundamentals than the fancy shit. For a guy that tall he moves very fast. He has really good distance control as well, doesn't look easy to hit, throws good combinations and has a nice strike selection and timing. His timing is one of the most impressive things about him actually. A lot of the throws and strikes he does work because of great timing.

Max would fuck him up probably but I'm not sure anyone beats Holloway right now. that guy is a fucking winner.

Ugh. I hate this place.

 

[Nightwish]

Excuse me. Im a newbie here, as my account date shows. This Yair guy must be a killer. How did his last fight go?

Spoiler

 

[KB Warrior]

The commentators were drooling over him so all the sheep mma fans think he’s amazing.

Yea decapitated BJ because he had the opportunity to fight him and nothing else. You think zabit wouldnt do the same thing at this point in BJs career?

 

[GreatWhiteBuffalo]

You’d be naive to not recognize and respect the techniques that he throws and the speed and power he does it with. Yes, he hasn’t fought good guys yet, but he has shown some very impressive shit.
