    I'm calling it now, this guy will absolutely wreck everyone in his path if he indeed starts competing in the UFC

    Bigger, stronger more athletic version of Brock Lesnar who happens to be in his athletic prime and is a much more accomplished wrestler. He also trained with Arlovski and has been training MMA in recent years. He'll come to the UFC after the Olympics where he plans to win the gold medal. There hasn't been anyone like him in the MMA yet, not even close

    How can any UFC heavyweight stop this guy from taking them down and just ragdolling them for 3-5 rounds?

    Remember, this is a legit HW, not some fat LHW like Werdum or Cain, he's 295 lbs of pure muscle.

    Terrible match up for Jon Jones if he moves up, he'll be on his back entire fight where he can't do anything at all.

    Not as scary as Aleksander Karelin ... but then, I can't think of anybody who is ;)

    You are right, if this guy doesn't mind getting punched like Lesnar did, he could rule with an iron fist.

    Don't know much about the guy but I assume he's a heavyweight Khabib.

    Too bad Karelin didn't try mma in the early 00s.

    Karelin was the baddest man in the 90s, I'm sure he would beat any MMA fighter at that age with minimal cross training. Put him at UFC 1 and he would throw Royce out of the cage.

    He would probably have fought in Pride, but UFC wise you look at the names up to the end of the 00's. I don't see any in his class.

    It's not an easy transition, he basically needs to learn stricking from scratch

    I'll believe when i'll see it

    Can't be worse than Brock Lesnar's striking.

    We saw what a huge legit HW athletic wrestler can do to UFC HWs when Brock Lesnar came over.

    From what I saw Bilyal has those sambo-style casting punches that Fedor used. They're good to set up clinches and takedowns. The guy is legit in both Greco-Roman and Freestyle, when a guy like that grabs you in the clinch you're getting ragdolled. He'd have a huge weight advantage over most HWs who're around 230. Then there's the freestyle double leg takedown. When this guy closes distance people will be on the floor or tossed around.

    I have seen him flip a 300lb guy impressively, he would be able to pick up Conor and slam him unconscious head first into the canvas from the amount of control he would have over such a smaller man while flipping him.

    I think he is 6.5 and about 290 while being pretty agile :bbb

    should be interesting to see how he turns out, not all great wrestlers are made for top level MMA but some sure are :rasta

    I wonder if he would have a hard time getting down to 265?
