I think everyone gets mauled on the ground v Khabib, the only chance anyone has is keeping it on the feet, and if he manages to get both arms on you fully, you are going to the ground

there is training footage of khabib taking DC down, albeit light hearted grappling, DC has like 50lbs on him, and is a bloody Olympic wrestler for Christ sake

I think khabib gets hit so your arms are within distance, he always seems to be happy to take a dig to grab you
helps that he has a chin carved straight out of the Dagestan mountains
Khabib is from a Sambo background though, Sambo is the ultimate ground fighting art, just look at Fedor one of the greats some say the greatest multiple times Sambo champion. It's a brutal martial art if you actually watch it or even try it, mixes Russian Judo (far more violent than Japanese Judo) Wrestling and some serious submissions in it. Id love to try it but the nearest class is miles away from me and i like my Kung Fu too much.

yeah man I know, and add into that the experience he has got honing it for MMA with the likes of DC/Velasquez etc at AKA

I've also heard rumours before that he wiped the floor with an American wrestling legend (3x national champ) from one of the best wrestling colleges in the US who weighs a lot more than him too (Ed Ruth his name was)

It's maybe something to do with the fact that the Wrestling they do in America in High Schools and Colleges is more Greco-Roman Wrestling whereas the Wrestling part of Sambo is more akin to Catch Wrestling which can be a truely brutal sport. Not sure if you remember Sakuraba? but he was a champion Catch Wrestler, hence why he was able to beat 4 members of the Gracie family.

Wrestling bears as a kid is not advisable.

 
We won't be seeing him compete for a while, in fact maybe not ever again. What he's done is so unbelievably stupid that I wouldn't have believed it had you told me yesterday he was going to do that, even for someone as off the wall as him.

Several people on that bus have been injured, one fighter even has serious cuts to his face and even had to go to hospital. That level of assault is a felony in the US. Women and innocent members of the press were on that bus as well, McGregor is going to be sued into oblivion now and be left with nothing. It's highly likely he'll be serve time in jail, the UFC will have to cut ties with (least for now) and his sponsors will surely all drop him. All for the sake playing up this character he's created for himself, you always know when a person is going to crash and burn when they become a mark for themselves and that has happened big time here with this bloke. To actually think he could just turn up with 20 lackeys, overpower security and attack people with weapons is the actions of a person with a God-complex.

McGregor's destroyed everything he's worked for, all for the sake of looking like a tough guy for a few minutes. Well done, enjoy your prison porridge and legal fees.
