In today’s video, I sit down after 8 rounds of hard MMA sparring at PCHAI Gym in Thailand to talk with my teammates and coaches about one question that every MMA fan is asking right now: 👉 Why can nobody stop Islam Makhachev? Islam Makhachev just became a double UFC champion, and once again, we saw world-class fighters – fighters who train for years, wrestle every day, and know exactly what he’s going to do – still unable to defend his takedown, chain wrestling, and ground control. So how is that possible? In this video, I interview: • Our main MMA wrestling coach • Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu head coach • Several active fighters from the team • Training partners preparing for Muay Thai, Kickboxing, and MMA competitions Together, we break down: 🔥 What makes Dagestan wrestling so different 🔥 Why fighters from Dagestan, Chechnya, Georgia, and the Russian Republics dominate grappling 🔥 Whether training in places like Thailand, Europe, or the U.S. can produce the same level 🔥 If top athletes should spend 2–3 years in Dagestan to learn that style 🔥 And whether someone like Craig Jones should go train in Dagestan — would it make him unstoppable? We also discuss: • Islam Makhachev’s chain wrestling • His southpaw striking • His beautiful check hook • His submission game • Why he controls opponents like they’re stuck to the floor Plus, at the end of the video, you’ll see one full sparring round and a finishing drill to end the training session. ⸻ ❓ QUESTION FOR YOU: ➡️ If you had the chance to live and train in Dagestan for 2–3 years… would you do it?
