I'll say it again... Slowly... So you can understand it. The BEST SAMBO PRACTITIONER EVER IN MMA got outgrappled and knocked out by a middleweight. Your entire thread is /.

What Sumo?

He had a lot of trouble with Tibau, who is basically a WW that manages to cut to LW. Granted that was like his 2nd UFC fight.

And look at the top of LW. Dustin, Justin, Tony, Conor. These aren’t guys that have made there mark via their wrestling. Their mainly strikers. If he want the WW strap, Colby, Usman, and Tyrone all lie in wait.

What Sumo?

I don't know, you tell me.

Someone (I believe it was Chael Sonnen) has said American folkstyle wrestling translates better to MMA than freestyle because folkstyle is more about top control, riding time, pins, escapes, and reversals, whereas the freestyle and Greco-Roman have more emphasis on big throws but not so much on holding people down against their will

He also said multiple times he would move up. Khabib is a dear in the headlights going with the flow. Never take heed in what he says on the surface.

Maybe someday you too will be a dear in someone's headlights

This noob doesn't know the difference between freestyle, folkstyle, and greco roman.

This noob doesn't know the difference between freestyle, folkstyle, and greco roman.

Differences between freestyle and folkstyle barely matter when looking at the argument Im making. We aren't talking the differences between freestyle and folkstyle, we are talking about their blind spots in grappling. GET WITH IT.

Yes this is very true, folkstyle is better equipped for MMA than freestyle but it is still ultimately a "lay and pray" grappling style.
