Khabib isn't a wrestler...Sambo isn't wrestling. 

You must not know much about Sambo. 

It's literally every aspect of MMA outside of boxing and kicks. Almost completely based on ground work and take downs.

Wait, where is this "Holloway's ground game" stuff coming from? Super random, and if you're saying Holloway is bad on the ground, super false too. I think you might be drunk, mate

His "ground game" is sprawling with an occasional attempt at a guillotine. 

His ground game is mediocre, just like Conors.

While the man can probably lose to any above average fighter, he also has the ability to beat any fighter in his classes at the same time.

Nate's BJJ is underrated. 

Nates bjj is the most over and underrated thing in mma. 

His bjj is good and he is good off his back but hes not scary good. Nate would have virtually no chance against ben. Ben is a terrible matchup for nate.

Did you just watch the first Poirier fight, and that's why you're under the impression he has a poor ground game? Because he was 20 years old in that fight.

This is quite baffling. I have never heard anyone rip on Holloway's grappling before. It's not remotely close to meme-worthy

I know plenty about sambo. Calling a sambo specialist a wrestler is a discredit to said specialist. Just because something shares similar principles and is grappling based doesnt make it the same thing.

Yeah, I'm about done with Cody. I was a huge fan of his when I first saw him fight but like you said ALL THREE losses have been pretty much the same.

Yea and I’ll admit i gave him the benefit of the doubt bc we all know he HATES TJ so we assumed he’s young and got emotional bc its TJ but he had no extra ill-will towards Pedro

you would of thought that after the second time he was able to land a hit on Pedro and Pedro was still standing that Cody would of just reset it and let things play out.

The Gracie's think Robbie was going to go out anyways. Even if the chin was in the way.

Just watched the fight. With the way Robbie's arm fell, I can't blame Herb Dean for the stoppage. He may very well have been out for a second there and Herb's job is to protect the fighter. I'll always take an early stoppage over a late one, that's for sure.

Just watched Garbrandt-Munhoz. WTF are you doing Cody? You looked like someone playing UFC 3 on PS4 just loading up on haymakers. That was beyond dumb. Munhoz has never been knocked out and has shown to have a chin in the past and your response is to stand there and trade with him? Why? He needs to go back to fighting exactly how he did vs Dom. Use your speed and technique and the power shot will come. By deciding to negate your own strengths by standing in front of a lesser fighter with the better chin, you become vulnerable. Dude is just a dumb fighter sometimes. This is your job, take your emotion out of it.

I watched this as well. I love their breakdowns. They broke that choke down really well. Basically Robbie wasnt getting out of that and if he did he was going to be in a very bad position in side control. I think he did go out for a second there. Rogan and Brendan mentioned on JRE that your natural instinct to fight a choke isnt to let you arms go limp or even put them down for that matter.
