Zaurbek Sidakov transitioning to MMA

[Truzzcat]

By far the most credentialed wrestler to ever make the jump. He is also only 28 which is a lot younger than both DC and Yoel were. I believe hes very tight with Khabib and islam so I assume he will train with them at least in Russia maybe also at AKA. I hope he transitions well I get rather annoyed when people say mma guys can beat wrestlers in matches simply because they took down x guy in an mma bout. So if he goes to MMA and gets outwrestled I will be fuming.

MMA guys can outwrestle wrestlers in MMA. there's no question about that. I would also argue that a guy like Jon Jones would probably have been an elite wrestler if he stuck with it, or GSP would have been as well if he had been a wrestler instead of MMA fighter.

He's truly one of the most exceptional talents I've witnessed. His lack of accolades so far is simply due to his age.

He defeated Burroughs twice, Dake once, and Chamizo three times—all at or near their peaks. His competition schedule is unbelievably challenging.

I was kinda hoping Sadulaev would make the jump as well. Both 28. They'd both almost certainly be light HWT...and both could probably go in within a year and compete.

I thought Karelin was pretty credentialled.
