gliese58i The market is slowly getting too saturated with these boring russians. Starting to look like every prelim card of Bellator with some russian **** abusing a dude who isn't clearly even a profesional athlete.

Fahkretdinov could take a little more risk trying to finish it on the ground. Even after sitting him down he still is way to patient on the ground to get the finish

I did not expect this from Rinat. Dude has dominated from start to finish.

Kudo Daido, which is the hybrid martial art that combines elements of Judo and Kyokushin Karate, is a very good background for MMA. Rinat ground game looks really solid tonight and his striking was a big help for his takedown strategy. I would like the UFC to reschedule the Morales vs. Fakhretdinov due to being a Judo Black Belt vs. Kudo Black Belt in MMA

This makes the original rinat vs morales matchup way more interesting. Especially since morales can actually wrestle

Battle was no where near ready for this type of opponent. Horrible matchmaking imo.

I think it's a phase, I think once the Americans and Brazilians level up their game to counter sambo more we wil see a shift and russians that only have wrestling will lose decisions. Khabib-style that is very active will of course be just as lethal as before but even there I don't think the control will be as smothering in the future. 
Part of it is the russians start so young but I think that will happen elsewhere in the world as well. We already see some kids barely into their 20s that started practicing for MMA since childhood.

I think we shouldn't have overlooked the wrestling ability of Rinat and how Battle would look 2-3 rounds into a fight fighting off his back at a new weight class.
