Take this with a grain of salt since I know nothing about MMA or wrestling, but one of the things I love most about Khabib is he how he's so unbelievably good at grappling and wrestling that he makes American wrestling champs like Abel Trujillo look like children. I think the average young person you pull off the street in Dagestan is probably at least NCAA div II calibre. Very excited for Khabib to beat the brakes off of Gaethje.

Sure, I'll take if he wins by submission you have have a 24 hour, but anything else and you get 7 days.

Looking at odds atm and Kabob is roughly a 3-1 favorite to win. Let's take submission out of it and I'll do a 7 day probe if khabib loses and whoever is interested can do a 24h probe if khabib wins.

sure but let’s double down on co-main, I’ll take 7 days on top if Whittaker loses

I'm not really invested in the comain but sounds like we're all set so let the record show SquirrelGrip should get a 24h probe if Khabib wins and i should get a 7 day probe if Khabib loses. Good luck!

  • Somehow McGregor had better defence on the ground than Gaethje against Khabib
  • NCAA wrestling stock continues to fall
  • A guy from Dagestan crushing the best fighters from America makes me strangely happy
  • If Aldo or GSP were the goat they wouldn't have lost so much

Trying to wrap my head around how this fits together. Is it fair to say that the ground game in MMA typically goes from wrestling (shooting a takedown) to grappling (converting a takedown to hugging on the ground) to jiu jitsu (trying to submit) with a little striking sprinkled in throughout?

Edit: I guess I'm thinking maybe Justin was alright at stopping the takedown but after that was pretty much toast
