Aslanbek Badaev has provided analysis of Azamat Bekoev's recent performance at UFC Vegas 115, expressing concerns about his psychological state and technical development. Badaev noted that while Bekoev possesses heavy hands and wrestling skills, he is technically raw, absorbs too many strikes, and appears hesitant to use his grappling for fear of being taken down himself. Badaev recalled Bekoev as a solid fighter during his ACA days but believes he is at a difficult stage where making adjustments will be challenging. The analyst questioned whether Bekoev can successfully rebuild and return as an improved version of himself. Badaev's comments suggest significant work is needed for Bekoev to find success at the UFC level.
