As for Khabib, we get a look at "Coach Khabib's" approach on the mental technique.

that I would have predicted for you. Now before you say hey Chale, Chale, you got your dates wrong. I'm talking about in this regard, Kiesa versus Magni stylistically is Chandler versus Hooker. And a big problem that I've had, just in terms of a question mark, right? I mean, this is between those boys. This is between those two. But for what I'm sitting and listening to the pro Chandler crowd that is saying, Chandler is going to take him down and keep him there, I'm scratching my head and going, guys, we haven't seen the takedown keep you down since 2003. Guys just scrambled too well. They get up. Endurance has changed. The effort it takes to execute a proper takedown is such an exertion that we're not seeing guys able to do that, not to mention the defenses have caught up with the offenses. I mean, there's a reason, there's a very good and logical reason that you can take away the whole, I'm the powerful wrestler, I'm going to take you down at will, and you've got to trace it all the way back to the very early turn of the century, quite literally.

He was able to close that distance.

2:33.0

He was able to hide it with some strikes. He was hitting that T.J. Dillishaw. Step around trip to that double. One of my favorite takedowns. I learned that from T.J. Dilashaw, but you're seeing so many guys started to execute it. I personalized myself was working on that because of TJ.

2:34.7

In the gym, I was having great success.

2:35.5

My career ended.

2:51.4

I ain't going to go out and hit it, but really great take down. I saw

2:55.8

Kiesa doing this, and I bring that to you because if you look at the offset in wrestling, on paper,

3:01.3

the offset and wrestling between Kiesa and Magni, it is very equal to the offset in wrestling

between Hooker and Chandler, as is
