Aslanbek Badaev commented on Azamat Bekoev's recent showing at UFC Vegas 115, expressing concerns about his development. Badaev noted that while Bekoev possesses heavy punching power, he remains technically raw and absorbs too many strikes. He also pointed out that Bekoev has wrestling skills but appears afraid to use them, possibly fearing being put back on his feet. Badaev emphasized that Bekoev has significant work ahead and faces a difficult challenge in restructuring his approach at this stage of his career. He recalled Bekoev as a solid fighter during his ACA days and suggested his future success depends on his ability to adapt and evolve.
