Rumored High possibility a grappling match will take place between Khabib and GSP in EFC

[Shaddows]

I like the match, but I hope fans from both sides understand that this would NOT have anything to do with MMA.
A completely different match, different rules and regardless of what happens there, it does not reflect what would happen in an MMA match...

You mean to say winning a grappling bout against the best grappler in MMA history adds nothing to GSP's legacy? You're insane...

If there's someone whose win will be "discounted" it would be Khabib, they will say he beat rusty old man GSP.

People like you are already preparing the excuses

How does this add anything to GSP’s mma legacy? I’m sorry but you lost me there as I expected you would. They made their careers and legacies in mma. But, I guess you don’t realize they are different sports? Hardly surprising.

You had your chance. You brought nothing, because if you didn’t know. This is the UFC Discussion part of the site. I honestly don’t give a shit about grappling tournaments, wrestling, KB, MT, or any other sport that is not mma in regards to legacies.

Moving on.

Khabib's wrestling is better for sure, but GSP has a sick pure ground game, Khabib better stall it out to win on points (if there are points) because otherwise I see him getting subbed here.

errr…..

 

[Kthankss]

I read the first two pages of comments and most people are complicating this - my take? Yeah, I’d watch and be eager to see it.

C'mon, gsp gets smoked in pure grappling. He isn't on the same level in pure grappling. While he became a wonderful grappler over the course of his career he isn't on that level.
If it were an mma competition the grappling would be interesting. George's needs to be able to mix everything in order to be successful with such a high level guy like khabib.

100%

This

Khabib likely steamrolls him just grappling, but GPS is leagues ahead as an MMA fighter. Georges loses a grappling match but wins a cage fight

 

[STAY GOLD]

This would be great even though it would be them competing at 25% effort most likely and will of course lead to endless overreactions from Sherdoggers claiming whoever wins would clearly win in MMA.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Damn, 40 years old and with those shoulders and forearms... Looking almost suspicious.

Suspicious? Dude is probably on TRT and why wouldn't he.

Holy shit Khabib not messing around with the #1 promoter talk if this turns out to happen. That'd be MASSIVE.

Fight should happen in the metaverse. That would be great.

lol

that would be more interesting than the average UFC ppv headliner these days

Hell yes. Honestly more interesting than the next 10 average UFC PPVs headliners combined.

Khabib’s best offense is using the fence to his advantage. GSP should request ropes and no fence.

Grappling is part of MMA, Khabib is known mainly for grappling, a win over prime Khabib in a grappling bout is a huge feather in GSP's cap, pretending it doesn't add to his legacy is just being a willfully ignorant fanboy

 

[Prince Nephilim]

Finally…GSP’s turn to know how it feels to be blanketed

 

[Versez]

HUGE if it’s true ! It would take place at eagle fc , hope Dana won’t block anything this time

This. GSP talks about getting tapped all the time training with Danaher's team. Pure grappling is different than mma grappling. Khabib is a better pure grappler than GSP. Plus much more offensive with multiple submissions in his arsenal that he can chain together.

[Luthien]

Those nipples on GSP

 

[HaulParris]

Will it be an exhibition or a submission grappling match?

Just because the president of an organization is interested in making a grappling match between Nurmagomedov and GSP doesn't mean the relevant parties are actually in talks to make it happen; clickbait instagram post and thread title.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Of course an organization would be interested in making that. Doesn't mean it's going to happen.
