I believe he is.

His wrestling and grappling are just a level below prime Anderson Silva’s striking.

Thoughts?
 
Has actually fought and beat d1 wrestlers

Anderson silva isn't that good and there are about 5 UFC MW's that would murder any version of him.
 
Tie between gsp and jones
 
They call lightweight the most stacked yet there's a guy undefeated with the belt.
I'm still not sold on Khabib. He hasn't fought very good grapplers. The best grapplers he's fought are Gleison Tibau (almost beat him) and Al Iaquinta (took fight on short notice and has been subbed numerous times before).

Can we see the dude fight Gillespie, Gaethjie, or someone with a real background in wrestling?

Also, GSP is the best grappler in MMA history.
 
What about Daniel Cormier for wrestling/grappling? I think GSP and Khabib come after him. Jon Jones is the top well rounded martial artists (great kicks, knees, eye pocks) and great wrestler, too.

Gaethje got his ass KTFO by Poirier and Alvarez which doesn't help his title aspirations.

From wiki:
Gillespie stated that he ended his wrestling career because he didn't think he could beat Jordan Burroughs.

So this Gillespie kid doesn't even try to wrestle Burroughs... Let's see how Askren does against Burroughs in june. If Ben wins, Gillespie can officially retire.

The thing with this is that I remember something very different.

I heard he was kicked off the team for doing a B&E(breaking and entering).

Then when Gregor starting winning in the UFC they started to say that he left because of Burroughs.

I will have to double check my info on this.
Don't need anymore pseudo news out there........ we have enough of that.
