Shavkat Rakhmonov, a top UFC welterweight, explained why he considers combat sambo to be a good basis for mixed martial arts.

“It is close to MMA, I competed according to the rules of combat sambo, and we trained everything, boxing, wrestling... everything. “Jiu-jitsu is more effective on earth, and it is more popular in the world, which cannot be said about sambo,” said “Nomad.”

Let us remind you that on December 16, Rakhmonov will have to fight with Stephen Thompson. The fight will take place as part of UFC 296.
