Famous Canadian coach Firas Zahabi spoke with admiration about the undefeated UFC welterweight Shavkate Rakhmonov.
Let us remind you that on December 16, at the UFC 296 tournament, the Kazakhstani won his 18th victory in mixed martial arts, “suffocating” in the second round Stephen Thompson.
“I watched Rakhmonov and tried to understand what makes him such a great fighter. I still haven't figured it out, but it's incredible. I just don't understand how he does it. I've watched countless fights, I've trained countless fighters. Many of them were talented and phenomenal, but this guy remains a mystery to me.
For example, Thompson is an outstanding striker, but Rakhmonov even outplayed him in the stand-up. It was a shock for me. He then translated and strangled Steven. Look, Thompson never lost like that, but Shavkat finished him off. This is an exceptional fighter,” MMA Junkie quotes the specialist as saying.
