Anderson was not an impressive MMA adapted grappler and even by UFC standards, his wrestling credentials were unimpressive.
For those who don't know, he was a jr college and later Division III wrestler. This is completely unremarkable.
People saying he 'out wrestled DC' are high. DC would literally throw him out of a window if he felt like it. Khabib couldn't make a world team, let alone medal. The best wrestlers mop the floor with guys who mop the floor with Khabib.
He was a really incredible MMA grappler. I'd also add, he didn't really fight any impressive grapplers in the UFC. Even a middling Division II guy took him down. Dos Anjos was the best grappler he beat.
Tibau was for sure the best wrestler he ever faced. Ali Bagov maybe after that, both were able to take Khabib down.
