Was just going to say this. A world champion wrestler would beat Khabib in a wrestling match?! Get out of town? I bet that dude thinks Mayweather would beat Conor in a boxing match too...

It's easy to shoot when strikes aren't being thrown in your direction, he'd have to adapt his game completely as well as learn to avoid submissions. Heck with a year or two's training he could be a force though.
Serious question this isn't a bash but what is drug testing like in wrestling? That is absolutely not me accusing him of doping, it's just something to think about.

It’s very likely he would be at least a good mma fighter, but trust me on this mma is very different from wrestling and if he fought somebody in the top 15, much less Khabib, Jordan would get wrecked.

That's a pretty bold statement considering how many wrestlers we produce and how many universities have wrestling programs.

Exactly. Plus I haven't seen any freestyle ruleset that calls for 12 3-minute rounds.

No. We don't give a shit about wrestling. You were correct.

I saw their interviews and jordan came across as quite respectful and humble, the appropriate response imo.
That tweet is surprising, he probably didn't mean it in a disrespectful way to askren but it comes across that way.

That's horseshit and you know it. Khabib can't KO anyone.

Until Khabib starts swinging the hammer.
And then Jordan goes to sleep or quits.

Khabib wins via being a blanket he would lay and pray and put Jb to sleep as well as the TV audience.

Yeah that does seem like an odd thing to say after their interview together. Askren is nearly a decade removed from competing in the sport, has talked about being past his prime physically, and was wrestling under the ruleset that benefitted Jordan most. The whole levels comment is sort of statement on talent but there's plenty of reasons Ben lost beyond that.
Not that he isn't on another level right now.
