RDA just proved that Khabib is probably the greatest grappler ever in MMA

[migeru29]

Just rewatched the fight and Khabib totally dominated him in the grappling department and RDA is an elite grappler himself. Khabib is just at another level.

 

[theincognito]

Arguably so

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Even GSP says Khabib is the best grappler of this era.

That said, Khabib is also the most UNRELIABLE fighter in recent times.

The guy just can't be COUNTED ON to make it to the cage without some injury or screwed weight cut.

 

[RafaelDosSantos]

Or maybe Neil Magny is below average

 

[drbolony]

Yup

Lee seems to think he can expose something in his game though. Wonder what that is? I know striking obviously, but I'm almost certain I heard him say something about his grappling in an interview.

 

[revoltub]

khabib fights about as much as women approach me

 

[1SikSix]

Askren would fuck him up real proper like.

Kebab in Welterweight would be fun to watch. Against the likes of Shields, Nelson, Maia, Palhares or Askren.

But he had that fight with Tibau. Maybe in WW all his advantages would be capped.

Askren would fuck him up real proper like.

Lol proper like. Reminds me of my cousin.

 

[Frankie Baby!]

Exactly

Does Khabib have a belt in Jiu Jitsu?

Where is he tho

 

[ejazahmednit]

i wish he fought more often
love the guy but his inactivity frustrates me as a fan

 

[tkotom]

He is not proven against a single elite grappler. Some of you guys wet yourselves so easily.

"Greatest"

Prime Palhares, Shields or Lombard would twist him like a pretzel.

 

[Typrune Goatley]

Maybe at 155. I don't know if I would say he is the best ever overall.

Askren is better at holding people down. Shields is better at passing guard. Maia is better at taking the back and finishing.

Khabib vs Maia would be fun to watch to once and for all determine the best grappler in MMA

 

[Venom]

Khabib's knowledge of body positioning and the path of least resistance on takedowns....

Geezus i've seen very little like it in MMA.

That's what you call ELITE grappler.
