Fact about Khabib that may surprise you.

[dsdoubled]

Kevin Jackson didn’t fail because of inadequate wrestling.
He could take any MMA fighter, past or present, plant them on their ass, and keep them there.
He just wasn’t prepared with submission wrestling or BJJ.

He could probably still beat current top fighters if they didn’t have a good bottom game. Like the 39 year old Kenny Monday did to a top Pederneiras black belt at one time.

I think most people would be surprised at how well-prepared Kevin was for submission grappling. Most of his MMA fights are on YouTube and if you watch them he really had a solid execution of positional grappling. He would secure and advance position and only then go for the choke. People have hated on him for getting quickly subbed by Frank Shamrock but at that time Frank could've done that to just about anyone on any given night. Jerry Bohlander was no slouch either.

Some of you guys are talking like you are best fucking friends with these fighters while in reality you've never met them. This thread could have been good, but turned to shit

Conor KO round 1 or 2 IMO

IMO you are completely wrong, Khabib by sub in the 3rd

He’s going to take a nap during the fight with Conor.

Fixed.

I think Judo is more effective than freestyle in MMA but Greco is better than both.

Lol no. Greco is way too limited.

What's Chad's achievements in wrestling? To be division 1 wrestler? Guys like Chad, can't become district champion in Dagestan, cause competition is so strong.
And, this athletic obsession by americans is funny, just look at GOAT wrestler - Buvaisar, is he look like most athletic guy?

He was an All-American. Made the finals at least once

Nice try. Good opportunity you took advantage of though, hopefully Conor can find that window.

Pure wrestling is a different game. GSP outclassed Kos in MMA with wrestling, but in pure wrestling Kos most likely beats him. It’s different.
