Doing the same thing and expecting a different result is why khabibs family is winning against these retarded coaches.
Everyone that loses tries the same game plan and fails horribly. “Keep the fight standing and try to knock these guys out”.
The way to beat khabib and his family:
wrestle fuck him to decision like Chael Sonnen, Ben Askren, GSP
Use lateral movement and sidesteps to keep away from the fence
Initiate the takedowns in the center of the octagon
Body shots with punches, absolutely no leg kicks unless you get the first takedown or winning the round
Set up KO in the later rounds with high kicks and hooks
Al iaquinta and tibeau showed the blueprint. The khabibs are just better versions of Tito Ortiz of the 90’s. Simply put them on the backfoot, take away their wrestling pressure, and watch them crumble as they are average everywhere else.
They are too far ahead in technique, conditioning and training in general because they spent their entire lives of basically only training with no partying under the best coaching in MMA history since childhood.
Islam will only lose when he ages out. Someone might catch him again with a lucky punch but good luck beating him twice in a row,
Topuria looks very good but only because he was trained wrestling in Georgia which is close to Khabib’s region. I doubt he has much of a chance but basically the only guys who really stand much more than a one-off punchers chance are guys who grew up with Caucasus style grappling or Russians in general. Usman’s opponent over the weekend was Russian and deadly but even he couldn’t do much of anything.
Tibau was pressed against the cage the whole fight, and Al got 50-43’ed.
Islam, Usman and Umar are not as good overall as Khabib because he’s the best MMA grappler ever, but they all have elite striking by UFC standards whereas Khabib was more limited in that regard.
