Who is better at wrestling, Jones or Khabib?

[cheesus]

Jones primarily beat wrestlers with striking.

Khabib imposed his will and absolutely dominated with wrestling.

He literally took all of those guys down and wasn't taken down by any of them aside from a brief takedown from an olympian in DC. It's not Khabibs fault Jones has a far more well rounded skillset.

Lol at BJ Penn.com



So to conclude:

PED experts say that is normal for a guy in his late 30's and cutting weight.

PED expert Victor Conte: "Jon Jones' is suspicious and Daniel Cormier’s is not"

NSAC head Bob Bennett and his team also concluded "There's no problem with Daniel".

Jones outwrestled DC so...I mean in pure grappling it very well might be Khabib but wrestling in terms of MMA? Jones is far, far more proven. You can't argue against this

 

[mjfan23]

Khabib but Jones has risen to the occasion and dominated very good wrestlers when he wasn’t expected to e.g. DC

Lets also pretend that fairies exist as well. Imagine Prime Penn fighting khabib .jab jab stuff for 5 rounds. Lets not play this game.

Yeah you shouldn't. You're terrible at this. You got 10-8'd

it's settled then

Didn't Alex take Jones down?

Well, it's tough to say, since Nurm wrestled the likes of Horcher, Poirier and McGregor, while Jones toyed with the likes of Cormier. So Nurm is definitely the best in the world when it comes to wrestling with FW strikers, and Jones is the best wrestler in MMA overall.

Let's not pretend Jones beat Cormier with wrestling.

He beat him with striking.

Khabib beat everyone with wrestling.

He beat him with striking.

Khabib beat everyone with wrestling.

They had plenty of wrestling exchanges as well. And it's not like Cormier beat Jones with wrestling either.

And Nurm's level of opposition is incomparable to Jones'. Nurm was fighting total cans for his first 17 fights and was fighting horchers for the better part of his UFC career. Jones absolutely destroyed the entire generations of champions and fellow greats.

Wrestling is grappling.

I can't show what didn't happen.

Tibau had a brief moment, where as Jones got taken down by Gus properly. Khabib’s better, for sure.

 

[Greyscale]

And, to be sure, it's hard to even imagine Nurm going up to challenge someone from 170. Hell, he even wanted a 40-year old GSP to come down to 155. His wrestling won't work on anyone his size, as the Tibau fight (which he lost) showed to everyone.

Conor, Poirier, Gaethje, RDA,Barboza, Johnson, Iaquinta, Tibau....

All equal to Darrell Horcher right...

Dumb ass lol

Khabib wasn't on his prime against Tibau -fact
Penn jab jab stuff against Khabib - fairy

Gus is good wrestler has elite tdd

Don't forget to add Shalorus, Healy, Tavares and Trujillo to this murderer's row, smart pants lol

 

[loisestrad]

That's literally not true. Jones went 1-1 in takedowns with Gus, while Khabib went 0-1 vs Tibau.

 

[matrixremaster]

Jones is more well rounded, his wrestling and striking were pretty much equal.

Khabib ran guys over with his wrestling alone.

There's a world of difference there.

All better than Horcher.
