GSP vs Khabib - Freestyle wrestling match... who do you bet your life on?

[WASSUPBRO]

hypothetical

who would you bet your life on if you had to pick either GSP or Khabib in a wrestling match

GSP says Khabib is better than him... Khabib always said GSP is better than him and was his idol

2 guys who admire each other's wrestling skills

Khabib

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Would never sleep on St Pierre being a top-tier athlete. But Khabib should win... but MMA. Shouldn't even be close if George still has 30% riddum left.

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

I think khabib is the better wrestler just slightly. I think George has amazing cardio, striking and clinch too though, so in mma he’d probably win but in wrestling I say khabib

 

[Phrozenspite]

aren't freestyle wrestling matches really short? meaning Khabib's conditioning wouldn't factor in

GSP

 

[Slatersan]

Khabibs a better wrestler. Gsp has a more explosive blast double. People think wrestling just means a good blast double. Khabib wins a wrestling match.

 

[fabio]

Gsp has better cardio and a better athlete. Plus he is bigger than Khabib.

 

[VancityJ]

GSP in his prime (Matt Hughes 2)

 

[Sterling]

Khabib is the superior wrestler

 

[mkt]

Post-ACL injury GSP isn't the same. 2009 prime GSP takes it.

 

[cheesus]

Khabib, Hendricks made GSP look human and that was over 5 years ago. Khabib is leaps above any grappler GSP has ever faced. Even at GSP's peak, I think it's a closely contested bout.

 

[AJ Garcia]

Gsp has outwrestled bigger wrestlers his entire career. I don’t think people remember just how good and strong prime Hughes was. Gsp threw him around like a child in their second and third fight. Khabib struggles against a bigger guy known for his tdd. Obviously khabib has improved since then but gsp is a different animal.

Today gsp wins but khabib would have his moments.
If it’s prime gsp, it’s not even close.

wrestling Khabib. GSP is an mma wrestler and transitions better than anyone. GSP beats both Khabib and Conor in mma.

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

GSP. Khabib is not a freestyle wrestler, Gsp would abuse his lack of setups and shitty diving single. No cage in wrestling for khabib to use

 

[Andersons Foot]

I’d go with GSP. I think overall Khabib is the better wrestler but the size difference matters I think.

 

[Meathead Jock]

GSP. Khabib is not a freestyle wrestler, Gsp would abuse his lack of setups and shitty diving single. No cage in wrestling for khabib to use

Disagree. GSP'S lead set-up is a jab. Can't use that in freestyle.

Khabib is a pretty safe bet, as the commentators jerked off about for 5 minutes during thr fight, Khabib has a high level ability to lace legs which is a good way to score points in free style.

Edit: Obligatory, Askren kills them both in anystyle of wrestling.

He lacesegs with his legs not his hand. Gsp has also trained extensively with freestyle teams, khabib trains with Sambo guys. The jab easily translates to a tap and go, khabib literally has no setups he just dives

 

[Grapplefest]

Khabib's chain wrestling is far superior. A lot of GSP's wrestling is set up by his striking level changes. Khabib would techfall him in a wrestling match.

Khabib.
