Do guys like Khabib and Fedor train in BJJ?

[No Skill Gap]

Every MMA fighter trains BJJ in some form. It's how the sport evolved.

Just like everyone does some form of wrestling and striking/boxing.

Fedor, no.

Khabib has trained at Renzos before.

Dont necessarily need bjj if your always in a dominant position. There only so many subs someone can out u in. While on their back lol. Armbar. Triangle. Kimura... all easy to defend.

 

[FedorsFists]

Imagine if that guy walked into your gym with that white belt on.

 

[Kertol]

Fedor never trained bjj. Both he and Khabib are Judo practitioners first and foremost (more debatable for Khabib you can argue he’s more of a wrestler)

 

[Andrey Kamensky]

Idk about Khabib but Fedya trains some bjj when he’s in Holland. Not so much in Russia it seems.

No they do a superior style called sambo. Ive never seen khabib wearing a gi

This is your lucky day!

^ LOL

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

Fedor, no.

Khabib has trained at Renzos before.

Smart move

 

[Iroh]

I see I was beaten to the punch, but mine are bigger!

 

[Iroh]

Khabib absolutely trains BJJ. All fighters do to some degree, although most do no-gi for obvious reasons.

I think those pics are just for the occasion of a seminar guest appearance or something like that. Not real training. Still pretty funny.

Khabib has extensively trained BJJ with Renzo Gracie and Leandro Viera after 2016. You can see the impact now. Before the Conor fight he mostly used to control the fight and gnp but now he actively looks for subs. Hence the recent quick finishes.

Sure they use BJJ for warming up, because if Sambo would be easy it would be called BJJ

 

[GOAT.]

Smart move

Yea because Fedor never handled a good BJJ guy before....
