Will Gillespie be Super-Khabib's kryptonite?

[Deadwing88]

I'll wait until he fights someone in the top 10, before labelling him Khabib's kryptonite..

OP said Lhabib sturggled with Raging Al. Sorry buddy after an opinion like that I can't take your post seriously anymore.

 

[Juan Bombadil]

Am I the only one thinking that Gillespie is just too small to become serious contender at 155?

Yeah he looks tiny. He’d do better at 145

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

He's not a better wrestler. Not by a long shot. He would get completely outclassed everywhere. Better cardio? How the fuck does he have better cardio? How many 5 rounds have you seen him in? Jesus you're reaching

He's a NATIONAL D1 champion! Of course he is a better wrestler than Frankie, who was not even a D2 champion. Derp.

 

[Sinthesized]

Based upon accomplishments Gregor is a better wrestler....
Khabib's striking is only sightly better than journeyman...
Gregor has never appeared even remotely tired in any of his 13 fights...

Based on watching their fights and level of opponents, Khabib easily has better grappling, wrestling, striking and cardio. Not even close honestly.

 

[BRASIL WAND]

LOL who has this Gillespie clown faced? Yancy and a steady diet of bums off the street?

Dudes got NO POWER in his hands, his striking is putrid, and his grappling is inferior to Khabibs.


Feed this guy to Makhachev and get it over with.

 

[Krushey]

GG vs Kebob.

Battle of the Humpers.

Who can out-hump who?

I'm ready.

 

[Underdog bjj jp]

I'll never watch this waist holder fight again

Maybe we will get to see one day...

He made D1 nationals every year wrestling for Clarion. While Gregor has the accolades, that shouldn't take away from the fact that Edgar was still a great collegiate wrestler.

Cardio? Wrestling?

You are giving away your bias. Khabib has fought better competition, absolutely. I'd almost guarantee Khabib is far better off his back. Khabib's striking might be better.

People just refuse to be obective. You can say Khabib is the better fighter without ruining your credibility by saying he's better in every category and it's "not even close".

 

[SSgt Dickweed]

I thought Gillespie is a funny way of saying "GSP" but apparently he is an actual fighter.

 

[Verace]

Until Gregor makes a huge name for himself khabib isn't taking that fight.

And he's mr.iwontcalloutnobody

So I doubt this ever happens

 

[blaseblah]

Nope. When he fights people who actually have wrestling/grappling experience he will wilt

Same can be said of Khabib, who has yet to face an elite wrestler.

 

[Elway7]

Man, I wish Ben Askren could make 155. He'd blast through Gregor and have him helpless in under a minute.

Well no shit he is significantly bigger

What are you basing this on? Care to provide any actual analysis?

 

[kiley_sean]

He looks no bigger than Khabib/Kevin Lee, but he won't try to cut down to 155.

Khabib has steam rolled everyone except Tibau, who has great wrestling and is big and strong. Khabib has fought every type of opponent except a top wrestler, someone who can negate his strengths, so I feel confident saying a big strong wrestler will be his kryptonite, even if it is not Gregor. Good strikers can't stop him and even BJJ guys get smashed. I think we all agree Tyron would be a tough match up for Khabib and Gregor would probably do better than Barboza.

Clarion is a D2 school. HUGE difference between D1 champion and D2 finalist level. Im not saying Frankie is not a good wrestler but there are levels to this.

Here's where your argument falls apart: Frankie wrestled at Clarion yes, which is a D2 school in every sport BUT wrestling, which they are in fact D1. Wanna know who else went to a school that is D2 in every sport BUT wrestling? Gillespie. Like Koscheck, he attended Edinboro on a wrestling scholarship.

Edinboro University is a small college western PA much like Clarion and much like Clarion, they have an outstanding wrestling program. Get the fuck out of here with your no-homework doing ass.
