Aslanbek Badaev has commented on Azamat Bekoev's performance at UFC Vegas 115, offering constructive criticism. Badaev noted that psychologically the performance cannot inspire confidence, pointing out that while Bekoev has heavy hands, he is technically raw and gets hit. He also mentioned that Bekoev has wrestling skills but doesn't use them, possibly fearing being taken down himself. Badaev stated that Bekoev has a lot of work to do and that at this stage it will be very difficult for him to rebuild his approach. He recalled Bekoev as always being a tough fighter during his ACA league days, and emphasized that everything now depends on how well Bekoev can adapt and restructure his game.
