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.
 
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.
 
Khabib... But shout out the OG Mark Coleman... Nobody could smash a face with his face like this guy!!!
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.
 
The only wrestler Khabib ever faced was Tibau and he couldn't take him down while Tibau did. GSP outwrestled Hughes, Kos, Fitch etc.
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

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

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