Before Zabit fans complain, I agree that he won the fight, but anyways....







Mark henry just posted these highlights from Zabit against kattar and he misses or gets blocked on nearly all of these strikes. The crowd and commentary made him seem far more effective than he was. He won those two rounds simply by throwing more.
 
Impossible to get through a Zabit fight without the whole commentary focusing on how "flashy" he is.

Zabit fight timeline is this: High pace flashy first round, attempt to wrestle in the 2nd and start to slow down, gas out in third & look up at the clock

I was just surprised at how amazed the crowd and especially the commentary were each time Zabit threw mostly ineffective strikes. It was really strange to me. I'd like to see Zabit grapple more in fights, but maybe his cardio can't handle it. I don't know. Do you think he'll end up getting the next title shot?

FW is weird right now because I feel like KZ is in the discussion if he beats Ortega. What I'd prefer is Yair vs Zabit, and the winner of that fights the winner of KZ vs Ortega. The winner then gets the TS in spring 2020.

And yeah I heard a lot of people saying Zabit would just wrestle Holloway and submit him, but I don't feel like he has the cardio to do it. Early on he does but after one round of grappling he seems drained. That's how I see the fight going. He wins R1 vs Max, maybe out grapples him and edges Max in R2, and then gets beat to the punch in round 3 - 5.
 
haters gonna hate..

Like I said, Mostly blocked.....Not hating man. I've liked zabit since before he was even in the UFC.

Also, another russian that I'm pumped to see debut in the UFC is Zabit Magomedsharipov. Frankie and Mark Henry have been hyping this guy up for a while, and I think he could be a threat at FW for sure.

I'm just calling it how I see it here.

Zabit at least he engages with a good boxer fully, enough said!
 
Kattar would've won if the fight was 5 rounds
 
Zabit needs some power. He's highly skilled just not able to damage
 
Good or bad defensive actions don't score
Cool to see the more advanced Lauzon ear muff guard Kattar is working with

On point as usual @Tomas
Zabit a great 10 min PRIDE fighter
Kattar was gonna smash rounds 4 and 5
Zabit looked at clock in round three and there was 4:02 left
 
So a 20 second video of Kattar blocking strikes proves Zabit didn't land more?

Please quote someone other than you who made that argument because I didn't.
