Khabib's wresting vs Mendes' wrestling

Does it matter? Mcgregor wasnt 100% vs mendes so its not much of an accurate measuring stick
 
If Khabib and Mendes fought who is ending on their back first?

If you say mendes you're a retard. khabib is better than him by far. Mendes has way better boxing though and speed. In grappling it's not even close

Khabib has a dif style. He uses the cage, his weight and is able to remove one arm of yours (excellent wrist control) as he works on you.
So basically you fight a guy with a relentless pressure game draining you of energy locking your legs with his while you are on the bottom using one arm (which is what you are using to post up with usually).

Chads wrestling is very good but its basic text book wrestling

What you said was utterly moronic. Anyone could cut muscle mass to drop weight classes. Point is cutting muscle mass makes them physically smaller so no advantage is gained by dropping and in Mendes case would reduce his effectiveness massively as he is built perfectly for his style.

Just cause he is 5ft 6in doesn't mean he is automatically a bantamweight just cause that is roughly the average height of a bantamweight. By that logic DC should be a welterweight. Not to mention you say RDA is a welterweight when by your own ridiculous logic he should clearly be a featherweight.

LOL no. chad has far better hands and takedowns.

You started so nicely in wanting to use facts and analyzing technique... then you said Khabib just overpowers people. *sigh* What a technically inaccurate way to describe his style.

Overpowers is half of it, overwhelms is the other half and it's a perfect way to describe his technique, especially when he's got his feet misplaced and still lands the takedown. lmao Khabib has the ability to outgrapple not so good wrestlers despite his athletic and technical limitations because 1. his strength and ability to secure positions. 2. His vast array of takedowns he can use to chain, and land something that works.

If you think Chad only has a double-leg, I urge you to go watch him face actual competitors.

That's why he looked absolutely awful against Tibau, albeit every wrestler does, but even more than them. When you get to a high level of wrestling, chaining no longer becomes an advantage, it becomes a requirement. What Khabib does is hardly special when you're talking about the very best, and the fact that he lacks the precision and athleticism they do makes it an easy assessment.

Anyone that thinks if you give Chad some size and he loses 1 on 1 to Khabib in a wrestling match is a straight up moron, and that's not even suppose to be a knock on Khabib. He's still one of the best in MMA. It's suppose to pinpoint just how good Chad is. He's easily the best non-olympic wrestler we've had compete in MMA.

Yeah because fighters are all muscles no fat at all.The fact that you think Khabib would make flyweight if he loses muscle just baffles me.

Well yeah he could it would just be a ridiculous idea because he'd be weak and completely ineffective. We've seen taller fighters make the cut doesn't make it a good idea.

Chad has better takedown s from the outside and cleaner set ups for those.

Khabib has the better top game, transitions, limb control, upper body TDs.

Overall grappling goes to Khabib. Wrestling is debatable, depending on what you value in a wrestler.

Chad Mendes only has a better double leg. Khabib is a more well versed grappler with his wrestling/judo chained together.
 
Mendes is the better wrestler but he only does single legs to get the TD, khabib is the better grappler overall since he gets the TD from the clinch (as long as he gets it) and transitions from chinch-legs-clinch.

Khabib is better than Chad wrestling-wise in every way except maybe blast-doubles.

Khabib is stronger, bigger, chain wrestles, uses sambo and judo to his advantage, has crippling top control, etc. Need I go on??

Disagree. Khabib's striking, while not great, is highly underrated. Connor is miles above though.

If Connor doesn't catch him early it's gonna be a boring ground fight with a gassed out Connor.
