From the time of playing, until moving to the coach and martial arts boss, Khabib Nurmagomedov always had many new ideas for MMA. The former Undefeated UFC champion was the one who used to lower the Jujitsu boxers when he said, “Jujitsu is just a easy -to -play version of Sambo”.
Recently, Khabib Nurmagomedov shared a bold statement about MMA competition in the future. He said: “Professional MMA fighters should only play a single half. They enter the octagon cage, fight 15 minutes per normal match, and 25 minutes for a belt match.”
In fact, professional MMA currently applies the division format according to the number of rounds. Low battles have 3 rounds, 3 minutes each. The matches at a higher level have 3 rounds, each half. Some of the class and belt competition takes place in 5 rounds, each half.
The total time of competition in normal matches and UFC's belt paintings is now equivalent to the number of minutes each Khabib mentioned. However, the difference is that they do not have time to rest. That makes the boxers will have to practice in a completely new method to adapt to the new way of fighting.
At the time Khabib still competed, he was considered a “endless” martial artist, especially in long -lasting matches. This may be the reason why Khabib proposed for the matches without time to break. Because, that way of fighting can shorten the game than before, and create advantages for fighters who are strong in physical strength and endurance.
