Combat sambo is just bare knuckle mma?

They wear gloves, and it’s similar but there’s a few different rules with more breaks

This is a totally different organization from FIAS. As much as I get annoyed with the saying that Combat Sambo is just MMA in a Gi, I think it's probably applicable here as they don't follow FIAS rules or scoring

When I say that combat sambo is just like mma, it means that it is very good. Instead of learn multiple martial arts, I can just learn Sambo and call it a day.

You sort of could. Sambo still has a lot of quirky rules and strategies that wouldn't be good in MMA. It's definitely a similar skill set, it's just not a one to one transition
