KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOV: LOW SINGLE BREAKDOWN

[fullyarmored]

Really enjoying these short studies! Seeing it a few times in a row made me notice that mini "run the pipe" he does with his shoulder and head to avoid getting sprawled on

[ryanlynch]

It's crazy because the first guy, the one in red, Kamal, is a friend and old training partner. I'm 6'4", 215ish, and he could maul me, just ragdoll me. I was a fresh blue belt back then, so it's not like I was some worldbeater, but still, I'm big and I was really strong at that weight, lean and mean, and I couldn't do shit to Kamal.

We had one guy that was a LEGIT Olympic level wrestler, was an alternate on the US team at 185#. Kamal could outwrestle him. I honestly think, pure wrestling, Kamal was better than Khabib, but the way Khabib could mix in the strikes just created SO much confusion.

I really think he's the P4P goat. I don't think there's ever been a 155er that could beat him. BJ Penn when he was at his very peak and super focused, but he just blasts through everyone else.

Respect.

The low single is a criminally under utilized takediwn.

Between the 1st TD (against Kamal on Jan. 20th 2012, which was Khabib's 1st fight in the UFC) and the 2nd (against Conor on Oct. 6th 2018) you can see a difference of light years in improvement of his shot!

One of my favorite moves in all of mma, some guys just have too much power. Best low risk takedown

[tundrabanks]

If you watch Khamzat’s fights, he does something similar. He’ll throw the right hand to bring up an opponents guard, (or just to hit them if they’re too slow), and then blast a double leg.

Khabib's opponents after watching this:
oh my God, why i didn't think of that?

[pvlapa]

I think I saw a fight of Khabib where he shot from like 3 meters or something. Some say JBs only got his blast double, but for people like them, it doesn't matter... They still dominated.

[edmondlau]

Would have loved to have seen Khabib’s wrestling versus Oliviera’s BJJ.

[BuckfastConsumer]

Khabib has no danger in the middle of the cage

[liamsomeone]

Nice video man, keep up the good work!

[JOHNCENA-rdos]

I knew it, But This video clear Me. It’s Really Awesome, I Will Apply It Against my Friend

[freehand.underhand]

There's something really funny about watching him faint and go for the leg...

[tribecalledmason]

Not that I'd ever be able to execute it but I noticed the jab feint for a lot of his takedowns and wondered why nobody ever just threw a knee every now and then when he jabbed. It was a big tell

[peixepistola]

This is one of the most basic mma moves, but he does it so well that is impossible to defend

[loido]

Sakuraba was famous for his low single leg takedowns in the early 2000s. Don't forget his name

[christianwheelock]

This was a great video. Straight to the point. I might subscribe if u have more of this type of content

[remcodesouza]

Sakuraba was te best at this. So fluid n natural

[gurk]

You’ll be big one day cause you make great vids like these

[Mma-basement-]

Yeah the speed of his shot and the distance he covers is faster than I realized
