Angelique ChaverriGUEST
Okay.
Michael ChristianHOST
Sambo is excellent, and yeah.
Michael ChristianHOST
But, okay, to explain that one, the Russians and just the Soviet bloc era are phenomenal in wrestling, judo, and sambo, and so they are very good at grappling arts and there is something weird in the water out there.
Michael ChristianHOST
And Dagestan being a Muslim-dominant country, though, that has a very disproportionate number of high-level grapplers and MMA fighters because of it.
Corey ColemanHOST
He's almost like the negative version.
Corey ColemanHOST
When I say negative, you know the swapped version of a Sambo.
Corey ColemanHOST
Because the black Sambo caricature's got white lips and white...
Corey ColemanHOST
And big white circles around the eyes and a black-ass face.
Corey ColemanHOST
He's got this orange face with these white lips and these white circles around his eyes.
Corey ColemanHOST
He's like the negative mutant version of a goddamn Sambo stereotype.
Corey ColemanHOST
You know, the baggy suits, the little hands.
Corey ColemanHOST
Okay, so, you know, and I'm not...
BenHOST
They put a lot of time and effort into that.
BenHOST
A lot like Sambo put into the Crimson Desert campaign.
BenHOST
Then we got Manny to 2.
BenHOST
Good game.
9 MINS LATER
BenHOST
Yeah.
BenHOST
I really love it.
BenHOST
And is that your note, Sambo, where you say you should really play the first one? Yes.
Sandbone SoloHOST
Never
BrianHOST
Otherwise, somebody's going to hurt one of my guys, one of my students.
BrianHOST
Recently, a few months ago, some guy tried taking him down, did some hack takedown, like some kind of Sambo takedown where he's trying to jump the legs and something wacky.
BrianHOST
I wasn't there to watch it, but he was just kind of trying to explain to me what happened.
BrianHOST
Blew my guy's knee out.
Justin GaethjeGUEST
You know, these...
Justin GaethjeGUEST
It's, it's, it's such a huge factor that these kids that do Sambo from, from these parts of, you know, the world, see submissions from such a young age.
Justin GaethjeGUEST
Not only that, they're Muslim.
Justin GaethjeGUEST
They've never drank or smoked anything in their life.
Chris DistefanoHOST
So I've been doing, you know, boxing.
Chris DistefanoHOST
I've, I've started taking Sambo.
Chris DistefanoHOST
Do you know about Sambo?
Will RosinskyGUEST
No.
Chris DistefanoHOST
So it's Russian.
18 MINS LATER
Chris DistefanoHOST
My wife's lefty, too.
Chris DistefanoHOST
I know.
Chris DistefanoHOST
I know, like that's like in Sambo, it's a lot of like striking and getting some- someone to the ground, and there's a lot of times where I'm just, you know, getting destroyed by these Russian guys, so I just start doing things that make them uncomfortable, like lightly kiss the back of their neck, whisper in their ear what my phone number, and then they let me go.
Josh ThomsonHOST
I was like...
Josh ThomsonHOST
And then I was just started training with Islam Makhachev at the time, and Khabib, but man, and Islam's like, "I've competed against him five times in the Sambo World Championships, and five times I barely beat him." I'm like, "You are fucking throwing me all over my fucking [laughs] place right now.
Josh ThomsonHOST
He's hip tossing me, foot sweeping me." I was like, "No way I'm fighting this guy.
Josh ThomsonHOST
Never seen him fight.
Josh ThomsonHOST
And then obviously they didn't, they didn't know who Thomas DeOliveira was, but Thomas DeOliveira was a world-class kickboxer.
John MorganHOST
I remember him.
Josh ThomsonHOST
You know? Um, uh, it was ca- He was more of a savate style, like Sambo.
Josh ThomsonHOST
They have a different name for it.
MaxwellHOST
But I feel like you call me Samuel as well.
MaxwellHOST
You get Sambo, I think, from me more than anyone else.
MaxwellHOST
Sambo, Samwell.
MaxwellHOST
And I'm
SamHOST
like, I don't cop that because everyone knows that's not my name.
Mike WolfeGUEST
I can honestly say I've been on the mats for – if you count high school since 95, but I've been on the mats since like 03.
Mike WolfeGUEST
Judo, Sambo, catch wrestling, combatives, all of those things, jujitsu, wrestling.
Mike WolfeGUEST
And I've only been hurt like twice and none of it kept me out of work.
Mike WolfeGUEST
I mean, I've competed.
BaileyanHOST
And how do you kill a monster? Well, you send another one after it.
BaileyanHOST
Enter Viktor Kalesnik, a highly experienced Russian Sambo machine who could potentially match Raza's grappling assaults.
BaileyanHOST
He'd also developed into an elite striker with a toolbox of kicks and a diligent fight IQ.
BaileyanHOST
A nine-fight winning streak, undefeated in RIZIN as well.
