Difference in technique is noticeable in the breathing of the two athletes. hasam uses a lot of strength and consequently the breath is always panting. Nicky, on the other hand, fights very relaxed, controls his breathing a lot and came out in one piece.

I'm a bit surprised rod gave up his position wvn as a BB it's rare for guys at rod s level to train like this which tells me that he has now transitioned to training to become more technical as opposed to training just to be " tough". Focusing on all aspects of his game......BRAVO!!!!........I'm a little shorter than hasim ( I think) and living in Houston, I'll be heading to Austin to train with the B team in March.

Yeah, I wish he could be mentored by someone like Xande or Roger. I think his athleticism has gotten him so far that it’s masked technical flaws. Nicky mounting him and moving into such a high position so quickly is unacceptable for grappler of Rida’s pedigree (or at least it should be). He would benefit so much from being slowed down and forced to control opponents around his size.

Must be so demoralising for Rida when NR repeatedly gives up position just to breezily work his escapes.

@@dw7647 Rida loses matches and positions in matches with puzzling regularity, so it's not likely he would run thru the majority of black belts with a hand tied. The tape doesn't lie, Rida isn't very technical.

My armchair comment: Haisam is extremely explosive and quick, incredible length and maybe even ideal body for ju jitsu; but he lacks refinement and efficiency, relies on explosive movement and athleticism more than anything, but that would mean with a top level school his potential could be even higher than Nicky’s perhaps. Nicky is levels rn, idc what anyone says he’s absolutely evolving at a rapid pace in which he would ultimately be THE guy in the world in a year or two

Haisam needs to get to a serious school, he seems to rely on athleticism and it would be a serious waste of potential if this is his height of potential, he needs to ditch the rubber guard crap, all that does is take his athleticism out of the equation.

I can't understand how nicky and haisan are one of the best .

Nicky needs to take his talents to the cage before he gets any older. He could be something special in UFC

Compared to Gordon v Meregali…it’s clear to see why 1 is the King and 1 is the pretender

Haisam is good but he got his black belt with local level guys at Carpe Diem in Tokyo. At this level, he needs a proper school and refine his technique.
