As soon as he gets a grip on you, he's relentless. If you're against the cage, he can trip you or lay on top of you.

He doesn't bother going for elbows because that would break the grip.

Is Khabib's grip strength his strongest weapon? It negates other fighters' striking, so Khabib doesn't need standup defense really if he can just grab you.

How can any of the fighters compete with him if he's been grappling since he was a child and taught by his dad? Khabib's tendons and bone density in his hands must be really strong.
 
Kebab almost got ktfo and choked tonight calm down crazy boy.

You're reaching. He got clipped but was nowhere close to being KO'd and that guillotine was being applied by someone that had their energy sapped out of them. It was a hail mary and he lost immediately after.

Stop.
 
He definitely has a strong grip but its about the technique IMO. Once he gets a hold of you he's so sticky because his technique is damn near flawless in every facet of grappling.

The sub was pretty tight but Dustin was pretty much broken at that point and it was the last he had to offer.

Almost knocking Khabib out? <DisgustingHHH> <TrumpWrong1>

He was wobbling hard and had to run to avoid the ko.

He reacts that way every single time he is hit and everyone overreacts. People act as if he has never even been touched.

So I reiterate: <{cruzshake}>

Let them have it. This is the closest Khabib has come to losing ever.
 
Bet Tony has a great grip.

In mma that is, not so sure about reality.
