BJJ grappling Khabib vs Gordon Ryan

[Flower2dPeople]

Forget Gordon, I don't think Khabib could even beat Musumeci.

Anyone else would love to see this? I understand Gordon is the GOAT, but Khabib's mystical aura, rumors grappling and almost lifetime undefeated record in combat would make this a must-watch. I would pay top PPV dollars to see it, how about you bros? It's not that much of a fantasy matchup either since Khabib promised his mom he wouldn't fight MMA again. If there's enough fan interest in it, we can make it happen like Conor and Floyd. Let's go bros!

Troll post?

Anyone who was at this year's ADCC would beat Makhachev and Nurmagomedov in nogi. It wouldn't be close either.

You say 'even' like Musumeci is a winnable match for Nurmagomedov lol. One is a world champion in grappling the other's highest win in grappling is at a NAGA tournaments which are okay, but nothing close to the highest level

I understand Gordon is the GOAT

Gordon would WRECK the bathtub warrior

Pereira vs. Tyson Fury in boxing. Epic battle or mismatch? Queue up your responses in 1...2...3...

Khabib isn't going to beat the best guys who've trained and competed for years in a particular grappling niche, be it ADCC or freestyle wrestling. And the best guys in those sports aren't going to cross-train into MMA for a few years and dominate it like Khabib did.

Gordon is bigger, stronger, has been at the elite level of competitive grappling for years, and is roused to the gills.

This would be a meaningless match up.

Would love to see Gordon in MMA, but that’s extremely unlikely.

I'd rather see Gordon Ryan vs a chimp to be honest. Cause we've already established that a chimp can beat Khabib.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Gordon Ryan is the most splendid physical specimen.

Gordon Ryan

In BJJ, Ryan clearly wins. In MMA, Khabib wins. In UFC, USADA wins

It's like discussing Joe Calzaghe in terms of MW great boxers, only a clown would say "he was never beaten therefore he's unbeatable" there's a reason why people with undefeated records are betting underdogs all the time. Being unbeaten and being unbeatable are two very different things. I care, that's why we are having this conversation. If you don't, you can shut your computer off or Chuck your phone in a puddle.

Floyd and Jones, unbeaten records.. how often were they betting underdogs? And why so aggressive Sole'? Its just an opinion on a website, relax Uso.. give Aloha to get Aloha.

I honestly never thought you'd come around to see things that way. I was always a huge Khabib fan, but yeah, the gym stories from that team and just the way they promote themselves in general has become a big show at this point. It reminds me of ronda being able to beat cain under the right circumstances and dropping pro boxers with body shots lol. I think it helps build an aura around them, though, and it's a type of mental warfare that their opponents need to deal with.

Until you go down on Wed sparring, when Khabib and the guys are in, and see that it is all true.. yet still, Khabib is not beating Gordon in a grappling match imo. I will also say, Islam is the better grappler then Khabib by far.

It can't be all true considering there's contradictory stories from multiple people around that team.
