He’s got a solid chin. Gaethje won’t stop the single.I think we're going to find out what kind of a shot to the beard Khabib can take.
You're probably right I guess. Did you see the shellacking Gath put on Ferguson tonight?He’s got a solid chin. Gaethje won’t stop the single.
Haven’t seen it yet. Will watch tonight. Happy Gaethje won though. I find Ferguson annoying.You're probably right I guess. Did you see the shellacking Gath put on Ferguson tonight?
it was mucho grande
Who is the best MMA wrestler Khabib has ever beaten? Kamal Shalorus? Al Iaquinta?I'd love for Justin to win, and I understand he's a wrestler, but khabib is undefeated, eats wrestlers for breakfast, and has never not been able to take people down and maul them. If money were on the line, I'd have to go with khabib.

RDA has pretty good defensive wrestling and grappling I guess, but you'd hardly call him an elite MMA wrestler.
There's a lot of mythologizing about Khabib's wrestling but it's just simply not true that 'he has never not been able to take people down' - Tibau outwrestled him. He is going to struggle with a truly elite guy.
Khabinhas has had a somewhat fortunate run at 155. You look at 170 and you realize that 155 lacks elite MMA wrestling. Gaethje has the pedigree to potentially make that luck run out.
He switched to aka right after the tibau fight (tibau had stopped 92% of takedowns in his career at that point as well, so good on him). You are grasping at straws to pull out one fight, years ago (2012), where khabib wasn't successful in taking someone down. Shame on me for setting it up with my statement though. Ok, so we have a 28-0 fighter who has taken his opponents down at will in 27 of those contests.Who is the best MMA wrestler Khabib has ever beaten? Kamal Shalorus? Al Iaquinta?

Responding to an objectively false statement with an objectively accurate one is grasping at straws? You seem to have a very strange understanding of what that phrase means.He switched to aka right after the tibau fight (tibau had stopped 92% of takedowns in his career at that point as well, so good on him).

I don't have a dog in this fight, but apparently you do. That's fine. Take a look at resumes and tell me if gaethje has been matched up with elite wrestlers. This is a two way street. Go ahead and discount khabib's russian fights since they aren't division 1 wrestlers if you will, but the guy has the best record in the business, and is the man until proven otherwise. That is my point of view.Responding to an objectively false statement with an objectively accurate one is grasping at straws? You seem to have a very strange understanding of what that phrase means.
I'm not saying a young, green Khabib getting outgrappled by a roided up Tibau means he is a shit wrestler. What I'm saying is that there is no basis to believe Khabib's wrestling is unstoppable because we have literally seen it be stopped before and he hasn't outwrestled anyone in MMA good enough to prove it.
Ask yourself these two questions: who is the best wrestler Khabib has beaten? And does outwrestling that person justify a belief that Khabib is an unstoppable MMA wrestler? The answers quite clearly are: nobody that good and therefore no.
Khabib has been fortunate to fight an assembly line of strikers in big fights like Conor, Dustin and Barboza with a few semi-decent but non-elite MMA grapplers thrown in.
Maybe Khabib will prove he really is capable of dominating elite wrestlers. Until he does, people are drastically inflating his actual grappling accomplishments. I'm a Khabib fan. I just realize he is more limited than many think he is.
I'm gonna use a knife and fork for your tears when Justin fucks him up.I don't have a dog in this fight, but apparently you do. That's fine.

There’s thought. I just don’t have time to write. Khabib will dominate Gaethje, that’s just how it is. @ECC170 can explain why.I love the way @Disciplined Galt just looks at the poster then rates...No thought for the info in the post.
Swedish ginger bastard
