Why Khabib Nurmagomedov Always wins
Khabib Nurmagomedov is a master of Sambo which is a combination of Kanō Jigorō’s Judo & Wrestling. Alongside grappling actual bears, he’s been doing this since he was a child. Which explains one of the reasons why he has such an innate advantage over his opponents. Beyond is high grappling IQ and fluid transitions; Khabib has another very real edge, physical strength.
Khabib is incredibly strong. Every one of his opponents. From former lightweight Champion Conor McGregor, Michael Johnson, Edson Barboza and most recently Dustin Poirier at UFC 242. Everyone has crumbled before Khabib’s tremendous strength... Once he got his hands on them, they just couldn’t get them off… How is this possible? How is he so much stronger than everyone else in the division?
To understand, we will first look at one of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s most difficult bouts, his match VS Gleison Tibau. Gleison was and still is massive. He looks like a bodybuilder on the verge of competing for Mr Olympia… That’s how big he was. That’s how big he still is…
This was the first time Khabib ever had trouble taking a man down. He actually couldn’t, Gleison Tibau contested every single one of Khabib’s takedown attempts…
Khabib’s Strength is Incredible
What was happening here? Well, thank you for joining me on this breakdown. Through it, we’ll gain a glint of understanding as to why no one else has been able grapple with Khabib at all bar Gleison Tibau. Thank you for joining me as we take a closer glance. Note: How do you think Khabib Nurmagomedov will do vs El Cucuy Tony Ferguson? That bout cannot be anymore exciting than it already is.
