Chimaev praised Amosov's wrestling skills

Chechen UFC fighter with a Swedish passport Khamzat Chimaev praised the level of struggle of the Bellator welterweight champion Ukrainian Yaroslav Amosova.

“The guy is very good in his element, his wrestling is very good, he has a technique. I learn from him, and he learns from me. Chechen and Ukrainian wrestling has always been at the highest level. Basically, there were good coaches and fighters in the USSR. Therefore, we get a good fight, we learn from each other.

In the stand, the guy is also good, but his element is wrestling. We did not work especially in the counter. They did one round and did not work anymore. Basically we are trying to fight, because both are fighters. When two good wrestlers meet, there is a lot to learn from each other. I have my wrestling chips, he has his. Each wrestler has his own technique. A couple of times he passes me, a couple of times I pass him. The next time he defends himself, I defend myself. I am learning to defend against him, and he is learning to defend against me.

When such an opponent as Yaroslav comes across, I will know how to work. If Yaroslav comes across a rival like me, he will also know what to do. In this regard, it is good to work with each other,” Chimaev said.
