nickname not catchy enough, but close.you just don't have the right pun yet. guarantee you have a word doc that opens with khabib nurmago"blanket"
Well his point was that Khabib would be helpless against Tim Johnson.
nickname not catchy enough, but close.
Or Kevin lee or Colby.i'm sure you'll have one if he 5-0's conor. or he gets ko'd and you can throw henry cejudo on your list instead
Not a chance. Did you not see Barnett get ragdolled and bashed helplessly on the ground by DC? Saku has been nullified plenty of times in grappling. His career is overblown for beating a few one-dimensional Gracies back when their name was all.
If you're below MW you immediately disqualify yourself in any "complete" discussion.
NEWS FLASH: SIZE AND STRENGTH are vital in grappling. If you're a LW you're way too small to be effective against decent HW grapplers regardless of how P4P skilled you are, which means no, you're not complete.
BJ is a "coulda been".Motivated BJ is the most complete grappler ever.
This thread is about "COMPLETE grapplers". aka High level in ALL aspects of grappling. Submissions, wrestling, takedowns ETC.Not a chance.

Great MMA grapplers, but far from GSP and Khabib territory.
That makes no sense...
So you mean Hong Man Choi or Bob Sapp would be considered a more "complete" grappler than MM or Cejudo? Sure, Choi and Sapp aren't "decent" grapplers, but they are also above the HW limit as well (by like nearly a 100lbs!).
But which one will it be?!
You know damn well you're gonna watch.
I find it funny how you guys are now making efforts on finding Khabib holes in his grappling and yet fail to recognize that is very probable that he's the most complete grappler to ever compete in MMA. And this is the reason of his great success in despite his pretty average level of striking.
Yes GSP and Mendes have better wrestling doubles and singles but Khabib have them plus a much better diversity of other Sambo and Judo takedowns and throws.
Yes Maia and Ferguson have way better subs but Khabib has that plus overall a much much better standup grappling.
Yes Karo and Akiyama had better Judo throws but Khabib has that plus a much better ground top control.
Yes Cormier and Colby have better clinch control but Khabib has that plus much better subs.
The list can keep going but you get the point.
This is dumb. He hasn't been effective off his back (not sure what effective means in your opinion ) because he's only been on his back for more than five seconds once in his ufc career. That time he nearly choked Abel Trujillo out with a triangle and Abel got saved by the bell.Says a guy with a Khabib av = Cool story, comrade.
I think a legit argument of why Khabib is not the most complete grappler is that he hasn't proven to be effective on his back, and no submissions (afaik) from the guard.

Look up Khabib's pre-ufc fights where he actually spent time on his back. He was known for his devastating guard and triangles off his back. He has 6 submissions from the guard in his career, and he went on a three fight streak where he choked dudes out with triangles.
