I don’t know the stats, but comparatively speaking, does GSP do a better job of keeping a guy down once he takes someone down?

Khabib isn’t content with just holding a guy down, he’s always advancing, smashing and finding a sub when the opportunity arises. GSP blankets because he lacks the skill to do what khabib does to his opponents.

It only works on bums. Im not one. Keep it off the mat and its an easy W.
THE GOAT agrees with me

Yeah but, didn't Khabib get into some fights where he got takedowns but the dude manages to get up like 15 times or whatever in one fight? I'm a Khabib fan, I'm just trying to figure out who is more efficient at keeping someone grounded.
Don't get me wrong, I prefer watching Khabib on the ground.

I think a lot of people are overlooking gaethje lol. He has the potential to ruin this little party for everyoneGSP always does half his fight camp in New York with monsters like Garry Tonon, Gordon Ryan, and Nick Rodriguez. All three would have Khabib tapping for his life in 30 seconds
Gordon Ryan said on his Instagram a few months ago that GSP would easily sweep or submit Khabib off his back too, let alone on top.
The GOATs of their respective sports training together is otherworldly
Dana needs to hurry up and book GSP vs Khabib for 155 title so he can take a third belt with ease
You can say the same for khabib. He only had 1 tough fight, and that was a roided tibau

We have to see how the fight goes. For instance when he faced Koschek second time he didnt wrestle him.

Khabib will choke GSP out.
Little bit drink water then he will choke the next one out.

In his prime I feel like GSP could have been a huge problem for Khabib keeping it standing and lighting him up with his slick jab but now? I mean I'm still interested in the fight but I have a feeling Khabib is too hungry and doesn't have the mileage GSP does.

trujillo, Khabibs top control once wasn’t the best or at least used another strategy, now he’s another beast
LOL Gary Tonon is fighting bums out in Singapore WHAT are you taking about?
I’m sorry the truth hurts kiddo, but BJJ rules have been tweaked to make more eventful/entertaining matches to attract casuals with short attention spans like you.
Let me ask you a question: How many of these new age leg lock spammers do you see winning belts?
Stipe - Wrestler
Jones - Wrestler
Usman - Wrestler
Khabib - Wrestler
Cejudo - Wrestler
It’s not that hard man, BJJ is no longer a serious feeder program to MMA for a reason.
A BJJ base might be the most beatable style of mma when you get to the top 1-4 ranked fighter of each division. Unless they developed striking like Werdum or have power like Jacare, most are very limited. Typically their takedowns and striking are subpar.

The thing is BJJ used to be a grittier and much more grueling sport.
Which is exactly why guys like Arona, Jacare, Werdum, etc. used to spend much of their time on Judo/Wrestling mats to compliment their BJJ. It’s also why you had a lot of crossover high level MMA athletes like the ones I just named.
It used to be all about Top Control along with heavy pressure.
Now a days the entire sport is just guys flopping to their backs or butt scooting because they don’t want to surrender points to takedowns... imagine guys WANTING to fight off their backs smh... ridiculous

That was obviously khabib's plan to keep letting him get up only to drag him back down and start over. He won that fight with minimal effort,and mentally broke that guy

The butt scoot was an mma staple in the late 90’s and early 2000’s, haha
But I do get your point.
