Islam Makhachev Pulls Off A Rare Russian Wrist Snap Takedown

UFC Lightweight Islam Makhachev pulls off a Russian wrist snap on Chase Saldate during wrestling practice at AKA San Jose!

In case you are wondering how Islam did it, he fakes the ankle pick, Chase steps back, and Islam wrist snaps him, HARD.

This is an extremely rare move and can only be done by a master takedown artist. Daniel Cormier was impressed…

Islam Makhachev is a training partner of Khabib Nurmagomedov and also comes from Dagestan. He trained and competed in combat Sambo and Judo. In 2016 at the World Combat Sambo Championship he won first place.
