He did not outwrestle Tyron Woodley. He actually missed on 18 takedown attempts, landing none. The only reason he won that fight was because of Woodley's lackadaisical attitude about pushing the pace.
The Hendo he outgrappled was pretty much flopping to his back in exhaustion by that point.
Shields is a great grappler and all, but let's not rewrite history to fit some narrative.
For the record, I think Garry Tonon beats Khabib in pure grappling. I think Shields is a tossup in MMA.
Sherdog has gone full retard again. Jesus. Obviously this is a fantasy matchup, and there is no way to know the exact outcome. But given all the evidence at our disposal, Jake shields would beat Khabib.
Jake Shields has been a one dimensional fighter his entire career, and has been able to beat Sakurai, Okami, Condit, Lawler, Mayhem, Hendo, Woodley and Maia
I've bolded the fighters that are much bigger than Khabib and known for their wrestling/grappling.
Khabib has beaten Michael Johnson, Barboza and Rafael Dos Anjos. And has a 45% career takedown success rate. Cut the shit already lol
Really? This isn't even a question. Khabib beats Tonin and Shields one after another without a break. You're talking MMA.Fictional premise. Weight is at 170lbs. MMA rules.
The fight hits the ground. Who does better against Khabib using GNP and submissions? Could Jake or Gary finish Khabib?
Sir. Go have a nap.R

I’m wide awake, you sir are still dreaming. No way in hell Tonin or Shields is beating Khabib in MMA. No BJJ black belt but continues to beat legit BJJ black belts. Try to remember, this is MMA not a grappling tourneySir. Go have a nap.
