It's good to know Rustam Khabilov had a great training camp with Zangief prior to his UFC debut tonight at UFC on Fuel TV. During the event we were still holding out for Rustam Khabilov to power up for a spinning pile driver, but three impressive belly-to-back suplexes will definitely do. Perhaps for his next fight he can wander the Siberian forests and get some gnarly scars on his chest and rock a ridiculous flat top haircut.

The last time we've seen such a string of constitutive suplexes was back in Japan at K-1 Dynamite!! when Miyata essentially flipped Caol Uno an insane amount of times during their NYE bout. Esther Lin even put together this violently beautiful image of the bout from 2010. Hopefully she can piece together something as equally as amazing from this .gif of tonight's Rustam Khabilov performance. Props to Jar of Flies for the .gif. Thanks to Southwest Fight News for the banner pic!

I forgot all about the Miyata Uno fight, that was awesome. Also Khabilov is a fucking MONSTER.

Zuffa secretly dislikes russians.

They'll put him up against some wrestle fucker next like Colton Smith.

Anybody been keeping up to date with CT shooting? strange details coming from witnesses.....

Name recognition needs to stop being the determining factor in OTN bonuses. A suplex KO always beats a looping hook KO in my humble opinion.

Khabilov can hold his own against ANY wrestler, he's a sambo champion as well as Pankration world champ. I doubt he'd be able to suplex Colton Smith but the guy looks like he could do that to a lot of dudes who doesn't respect his power and ability. A too cocky Smith could get caught.

I can't remember him suplexing anyone but body slams most definitely!

I'm so glad you made the Zangief connection..LOL I had to google this to see if anyone else thought of it. He really should do the Gief haircut!!! "Next time we meet, I'm gonna break your arms!"
