For those of you who understand MMA, and particularly wrestling, much better than myself. What makes Khabibs wrestling so unstoppable? It just seems like he can take anyone down, hold them there, and do absolutely what he wants to while they are grounded. This isn’t the case with other really good wrestlers. At least it doesn’t seem that way to me. DC is an Olympian, but the fights I’ve seen of his, he doesn’t seem this dominant. I reserve the right to be completely wrong, as I don’t track every wrestler, but Khabib just seems next level.

Its YEARS and YEARS of technical training… He’s just too well trained and versed in grappling. Russia (especially Dagestan where Khabib is from) is KNOWN and renowned for its wrestling programs… Those plus the fact that Khabib’s first and most influential coach is Khabib’s father.

I wrestled for 6 years total and transitioned to MMA. The simplest way I can tell you about a good wrestler and a great wrestler is the same difference between a really good chess player and a Grandmaster. There's a whole other level people aren't even aware of - tactile sensitivity. They feel your movements and they already adjust and know exactly what to do and what they do to you is not stoppable you can't do anything. If you make any progress you're very lucky
