Islam Makhachev’s physique

One of the strongest looking bodies in the sport, no wonder his opponents just crumble under him when he gets them down. I think Khabib has some of the best physical characteristics for fighting (big head, big chin, large hands, wide upper body) but Islam looks stronger overall.

Islam has freakish physical strength. More than Khabib. Dude can lift half a thousand pounds.

Khabib has more explosive strength.

It’s a different kind of strength. You see it when they’re grappling.

Islam will muscle Khabib into position and then Khabib will explode out and reverse him.

Damn that’s a beautiful hiza garuma sumi gaeshi.

Khabib is fucking slick. I wonder how he’d do at high level grappling comps

He won two weight titles at NAGA in like 2012 just for fun

Obviously NAGA isn’t really high level but I feel he’d do really well at his weight class in better events

Dana sucks gangster cocks, and pretends he’s legit. He’s a fucking run over.

I’m not too upset. Their primes we’re so far apart.

Georges was burnt out by the time he fought Johnny.

He had won, lost, and recaptured the title by the time Khabib had his first MMA fight.

I’d love to have seen prime vs prime.

I love that sweep though. One of my favourites

JJM is actually the best at it. Marcelo hits it in comp but his details aren’t the best. Not sure if it’s a language barrier thing but he doesn’t articulate the nuances of how to control the knee

Isn’t it just a standard butterfly sweep? I can’t tell what his right leg is doing

His right foot is on Islam’s left knee, right where the IT band connects to the knee. You have to block it and kind of push the knee inwards.

Kind of like a knee tap. But it’s really similar to hiza garuma. Also looks mechanically like how Yamashita finishes so osto garis

It’s really useful when guys tripod to stop regular butterfly hook sweep
