I was worried to see his arm in a brace though, have to watch that injury to make sure it gets better. It better heal fully or he will have a really tough time.
I wish I had one haha. I fell in love with it during BJJ practice. I've done a lot to try to learn, watching technique videos and watching matches and studying, since then because I was passionate about it. In my BJJ gym I'd say, I can easily take down anyone without a wrestling background, and I have a very hard time taking down anyone with a high school/college wrestling background, that's where my skill level is at. That's why I complain so much about the lack of for-profit wrestling gyms. I feel like it's really hard to self-teach, and without consistent live rounds (most people in a bjj gym prefer not to roll from standing) it's hard to transfer what you learn in your head to the mat.
There is no denying Yan would be heavily favored bit just the facr that the fantasy match ups are happening and discussions on who and how would win is a victory for Stots and Bellator. You dont see these type of discussions or fantasy match ups between UFC fighters and RIZIN, ONE, or PFL fighters (and there should be).
They're a bit smaller but yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing any of the matchups at BW.
In my town there are a couple of bjj and judo schools and a couple other mma schools. There are 0 wrestling schools within a couple hundred miles ratio from my town. We do learn some very basic wrestling at bjj but that is about it. The people who teach wrestling at the bjj schools are out of town guys who wrestled in HS or college.
I think Kerimov resigned with ACA, so he might become another AAA
Yeah, I think it's the fact that wrestling is state funded. It's a blessing and a curse, the curse aspect is that the non-profit clubs have horrible programs. Their programs are mostly for children so if you didn't get into wrestling by 18 then tough luck. I looked in my area, I live in a very big city over 2 million inhabitants in the greater area. The majority of wrestling clubs offer nothing for adults, there was one which allegedly offered a once a week class but when you click on it, it says the product is no longer available. And once gym offered an open mat twice a week for adults. Think about if a jiu jitsu gym offered such terrible programs, no one would go. And there's no marketing around wrestling either. In theory many people wrestle high school, but in reality most people fall away from wrestling over time after high school because there's no way to continue. The few people who continue, overwhelmingly choose to pay more to go to an MMA gym or a BJJ dojo than to their local wrestling clubs, because the product is so much worse, or just aren't aware of local wrestling clubs because there is no marketing.
From what I've read on Russian social media, guys from Caucasus sometimes don't like when Ossetians, Azeri and Armenians are called Caucasian. I think it's because Ossetians are Iranian, Azeri are Turkic and I'm not sure about Armenians.
to Sean Shelby.I disagree- in fact I'm even more confident that he beats marvin 20/ 20x. John is an elite grappler/ wrestler who is a southpaw and his right hand is his dominant hand( I bring this up cause moose had other things to be on spot regardless the big fave he was)Mousasi s chin and length offsets the second part but when a guy is fresh & dry and his only goal is to get mousasi on his back / dominant position ( failed on both) and was able to merely seat Gegard and fail to get him off cage while Mousasi was cool as a cucumber , I thought the early rounds would be more challenging.
Maybe-.maybe not. I think people getting to vested into vanderford s own words/ hype( which is a good thing). Salter was finishing everyone while mr vanzant going the distance with fighters that Mousasi would finish early ( absolutely no doubt ).
When was Salter in a position to throw ground & pound ? . He was trying ( 1st round) to get in position.
Maybe but then there are different reactions on the part of Mousasi. Salter didnt free up one of his hands because mousasi was already in position to wall walk the cage .....which he wouldve done.
