As a Sambo Coach Gordan is spot on 95% of Sambo guys go to mma. I agree with his opinion here. 👏 👏 well said

[vutran]

Sambo as a style seamlessly integrates striking with their submission grappling, that’s why it transitions to mma so well.

[gabrieltashombe]

a big part of it too is that where Sambo is typically popular like in Russia and the Middle East, they cross train in every grappling sport simultaneously, and view it as a rule change rather than a different sport entirely. like good sambo players were also good at judo, wrestling and their national country's wrestling style. among with it being heavily integrated into their culture

[melvindunn]

Sambo literally stands for "self defense without weapons". It is a proto-MMA system. That's why they do well in MMA.

I tried to explain this for 20 minutes the other day in class and The king just summed it up in 15 seconds

Overall fighting, goes to sambo then. They both have same origins just remember. Maeda black belt under Kano and sambo founder was Russian judo black belt as well.

[rumchata]

Sambo guys always go to jujitsu tournaments but bjj guys never go to sambo tournaments. There’s a reason lol

[tjbjjtkd]

Sambo definitely transitions to MMA very well!

[billo]

Those sambo guys in mma also have extensive competitive wrestling background

[Nameandaddresswithheld]

Jiujitsu works super well when you’re not getting ground and pounded. The ground n pound aspect makes wrestling and Sambo more effective

I was pleasantly surprised to hear a legitimate and fair answer that makes sense.

[paulfarley]

Because jiujitsu has come away from its roots as a combat art and sambo retained what it learnt from jiujitsu. In a street fight or bar fight I'd pick sambo over BJJ. Mainly because it's more.complete in that situation.

One of my favourite super nerds is Gordan!

[generous]

Thats why I like Eddie Bravos understanding/philosophy of Jiu Jitsu. He tries to make BJJ work in MMA well too.

[alexsalazar]

He unintentionally said sambo is better for self defense

[s.k]

The sambo guys transition well to MMA because they have strong wrestling and value position/control which lends itself well to the skill set. It’s not that the sambo techniques themselves are any better than the BJJ techniques. Really wrestling should be getting more credit than sambo

[claycowartisamazing]

Sport jiu jitsu guys fall apart during a scrap

[nathangilbert]

The difference is getting punched in the face while going for submissions

[Solairethedarksoul]

The Sambo guys in mma are able to utilize the fence well, ADCC doesn’t have a fence.
