Don Frye, Royce Gracie and Giant Silva are the only men to submit a Sumo World Champion

 

[legedema]

as much as I like Khabib , I am afraid Tony would find a way for a darce

 

[KeepItRealist]

Wasn't Khabilov supposed to be a Sambo world champ before he got submitted by Henderson?

I just hope that Tony at least tries for a Guillotine if Khabib leaves his neck out there.

If Sambo was easy it would be called Sumo

On wikipedia it says he was LW World Champ in 2007 for what it's worth.

Yes that's why I said for what it's worth. Don't be a smart ass.

I remember back before the Henderson fight when his hype was roughly that of Khabib in how good he was due to Sambo, then he got subbed and all of a sudden he's not on this list of Sambo champs.

I'm rooting for Tony, but I think Khabib will win, especially fights with the same attitude he did vs Lee. I'll hardly cry about it tho.

[DaWrassler007]

BJJ > sambo

 

[Thesnake101]

Blagoy Ivanov is another Sambo champ that has been submitted, was against Volkov.

Only loss for him so far too.

 

[Skarsgard]

I think Khabib puts a massive one-sided beating on him, but Ferg definitely has a shot. The dude is nasty in scrambles.
