Mark Hunt, who won his fight vs. BigFoot on Saturday, gave a shoutout to Amir Aliakbari and Masoud Ranjbar in his post fight interview with Joe Rogen! Real classy.

Thats awesome.

i listen to joe rogan podcast sometimes, once he had maz jobrani on and they talked about Iran wrestling, weighlifting and Zoorkhooneh. Joe was giving props on how we're a manly country and mentioned how zoorkhooneh stuff (forgot the English word for it) is used by a lot of ufc/mma fighters in training. I really hope these guys can make it big time.

Real good video on Masoud's first fight. Seems they have a hard time trying to find anyone to fight Amir Aliakbari (they briefly mention it at the end of the video).

These guys are amazing wrestlers but need to work on their defense on punches. There is only so much punishment you can take, gotta be able to block them, be quicker and strike quicker. I hope they learn all these techniques and tricks working with Mark Hunt.


What was up with Ranjbar's stamina in that fight? he was so tired by the 2nd/3rd rounds. I expected better from a pro wrestler.

so aliakbari was sparring mark hunt who is nr8 in ranking. i wonder if aliakbari has any chance against hunt if they would fight? anyone with a good guess?

Interesting but unconfirmed news: seems Amirakbari and Ranjbar are now in the United States (Miami) and they are training with American Top Team's Kami Barzini (Iranian wrestling coach). That's amazing if true!

Are you sure?


"According to the bout report from Fight Metric, both men landed 37 percent of their significant strikes. However, Johnson was a bit more active, as he scored with 84 significant strikes compared to Dariush landing 75."


And according to ufc.com Total Strikes

85 of 223
38% for Johnson

75
of 201
37% for Dariush

Significant strikes

84 of 222 37% for Johnson


75 of 201 37% for Dariush

is that punching strikes? or does it count the knees and attempted take downs too?

Dariush was kicking the shit out of him all fight, johnson couldnt even do one. Dariush attempted to take him down, wrestle him down, but it didnt happen, but still a lot more attempts than johnson.

also, what are they counting as "landing" their shots? johnsons shots were usually blocked or dariush was ducking them. while dariush's jabs were connecting right in johnson's face. 3rd round for sure dariush had him....2nd round goes to johnson and 1st round would be the only one up in the air, but again watch the fight and then tell me johnson deserved. was he faster? yes, was he throwing more punches? yes but he was not effective, dariush nullified all his attempts and by the 3rd round you could see who the more pro fighter was.

it was a purely technical win, dariush showed his experience in this fight, he's not flashy and people liked johnson more cuz he had a few hard punches but overall didnt do shit to deserve a win, he was throwing shadows while dariush was collecting points for majority of hits, whether punch, kick, kneed, attempted take down.

if u have full stats i would be interested to see
