Who's the all-time greatest MMA Wrestler?

[Takes Two To Tango]

My top 5 are:

1. Khabib Nurmagomedov

2. George St. Pierre

3. Jon Jones

4. Kamaru Usman

5. Cain Velasquez

Just make it “who is the second best.”

That is a more interesting discussion with room for nuanced debate as to effectiveness, era, competition, how they utilized wrestling along with other skills, etc.


Khabib is in a class by himself.

 

[Goat St Pierre]

GSP and its not even close

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Khabib... But shout out the OG Mark Coleman... Nobody could smash a face with his face like this guy!!!

 

[Fossor]

Ramzan Kadyrov

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

Khabib and GSP

 

[TempleoftheDog]

I’d have to say the guy with zero wrestling background.

GSP.

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

GSP and its not even close

Khabib has better fence wrestling

GSP has better shoot boxing

 

[Slatersan]

In before the sherdogger that wrestled in high school says khabib isnt a real wrestler.

my pick is Khabib or Cain as the best mma wrestlers.

 

[Goat St Pierre]

Khabib has better fence wrestling

GSP has better shoot boxing

The only wrestler Khabib ever faced was Tibau and he couldn't take him down while Tibau did. GSP outwrestled Hughes, Kos, Fitch etc.

Damn Brunson has only been taken down once in his entire ufc career and he doesn’t even get a mention on this list.

Coleman is the innovator, for sure.

The Godfather of Ground and Pound.



He forged the path for the rest of the MMA community to follow.

Looks like it's going to be a close race between GSP and Khabib.

Bringing up Khabib's fight against Tibau is the same as GSP haters bringing up the Serra fight

Both were early in their runs, and are totally irrelevant to how good they were at their peak

Who would you remove for Brunson?

 

[Paolo Delutis]

My top 5 are:

1. Khabib Nurmagomedov

2. George St. Pierre

3. Jon Jones

4. Kamaru Usman

5. Cain Velasquez

Im assuming you mean MMA wrestling as in the application of wrestling techniques to their overall mma style and not whos the best at just wrestling...

If i understand you right...then the answer is GSP

Yeah but there were a bunch of people he couldn't take down lol

Most people aren't trying to take down Brunson who cares about his TDD

 

[TheSpider]

GSP and its not even close

GSP was outwrestled vs Hughes 1 and Hendricks

Khabib is the GOAT MMA wrestler and it’s not close

Basically how they implement their wrestling with their overall game and how effective they are with that wrestling.
