UFC 229, Moves to Look For - Part 2: Khabib Nurmagomedov

Author’s note: For part one of this article analyzing Conor McGregor’s game, please click here.

I could start writing several paragraphs in an attempt to describe Khabib Nurmagomedov as an MMA fighter. On the other hand I could just use a single word.

That word is “RELENTLESS.” Several synonyms will also do: persistent, non-stop, never-ending, unstoppable. This has been his career so far and a short description of his work ethic inside the cage.

Khabib is not a knockout artist, he seems clumsy and imperfect. I am pretty sure that western-style wrestlers even see holes in his wrestling game.
