Khabib has fought non-wrestlers.
Kamal shalarous was a good wrestler, Healy college wrestler,Trujillo 4xNAIA college all American , Michael Johnson Juco All American... They say he man handles 3x NCAA Champion from Penn State considered one of the greatest American college wrestlers ever Ed Ruth... straight wrestling khabib Beats on him. ED RUTH is undefeated monster in bellator as well...You don't win sambo world titles not beating elite wrestlers..I get what you mean though in the UFC he hasn't faced elite wrestlers but those guys I mentioned def can wrestle and the things DC said regarding his wrestling and Jon Fitch as well is very telling.. team mates or not guys of that caliber don't lie or exaggerate.. especially when they've felt it first hand. Fitch said Khabib feels way more powerful that gsp and more of a nightmare.

They may have wrestling backgrounds but like you said i wouldnt consider any of those guys he has fought in the ufc top wrestlers. Its just me but i take what training partners and close friends say with a pinch of salt until i see proof. Btw i think Khabib is an elite wrestler, i was just making a point about how he hasnt faced an elite wrestler himself.

Once he beats max he still won't have beaten an elite wrestler.

I think if both have a full camp, Max beats Khabib's ass. But Max's short notice and huge weight cut has me worried.

But I'm still pulling for Mad Max. Don't count out those island boys!

I see this as Khabib taking a super safe entry in on Max, getting him down and then pressuring Max to ever worsening positions while beating the tar out of him. The ref will stop it and Max will sit there, dumbfounded and bewildered at what just happened.

Agree, if he winss it's gonna be a lay n pray like he did with Johnson. Just rabbit punches to make it look like he's doing something. Hey' it worked for Couture, the master of the wall n stall.

I'll start thinking of names now:

- Dagestani Faceplant
- Khabib is Rama-done
- Wrestling = Terrible Base for MMA
- Boxing > Wrestling

I'll come up with more, don't worry.

Im making a point that Max has 100% take down defence and you down played it saying he hasnt fought any good wrestlers. Khabib has been successful taking past opponents down but non of those guys are high caliber wrestlers either. Im not questioning Khabibs wrestling because i know its top notch regardless of whether he has faced a top wrestler or not.


"Athletic, Johnson was a three-sport varsity athlete at Marquette High School in Chesterfield, Missouri. Johnson later received a full scholarship to play football at Central Methodist University, but transferred after one year to Meramec Community College where he was one of the top NJCAA wrestlers in the country."

We all know it's different when it comes to MMA wrestling .GSP had no credentials like many of the wrestlers but was one of the best when it came to MMA wrestling. Look at DCs resume compared to Jon Jones, one take down? Then look at Gus who's not considered a wrestler at all and got Jon down 3 times iirc.
