Khabib Nurmagomedov - Judo VS Freestyle Wrestling

[@delpechmathieu7158]

He's not saying judo is superior in itself. He's saying there are more players in the judo game, thus a higher level of competition. And I think he's completly right.

[@fred4800]

People somewhat misunderstood what he's saying. He's not saying judo is necessarily better than wrestling but that the skill and talent pool is better because it's become such a prominent Olympic art. The same way karate and BJJ went all over the world, so did judo and like wrestling it's rough and scrappy grappling. So in the Olympics you only get the best of the best in judo and because so many countries compete in it, it's really only the best of the best of the best at the top.

[@b-sideplank]

thank you. you explained it beautifully. people often can't hear past the second language barrier. the English speakers are probably most guilty of this.

[@m5a1stuart83]

Judo only respect clean throw and clean submissions. In BJJ or Wrestling, they can have point with leg lace, backtake, or guard pass but not in Judo. Leg lace or Daki Wakare dont have a point, but have one in wrestling

​​@@TriannosaurusBut still the problem is why there is literally no elite wrestling base fighter from the US in MMA today.? The last of their kind were Kamaru Usman, Cormier, Cejudo and Jones. All are from the past generation. Please don't tell me Colby and Bo Nickal are elite.

[@Triannosaurus]

@ idk how you won’t consider Bo Nickal he’s a legendary collegiate wrestler, you should do more research on him. Aljo Sterling is another that comes to mind. Truth is there are many great US wrestlers, the thing is the Dagestan wrestlers are just that good no one can match that intensity, so no one really stands out against them.

[@atiermma]

Khabib’s and Islam’s judo is obviously better than their wrestling

[@dogukandogan6554]

I don't think so. There's no judogi in MMA where you use the opponent's momentum. So what you need to take the opponent down is strength, grip, endurance and technique. Judo allows you to take your opponent down with your opponent's center of gravity and basically you can't wrap the legs, it's restricted in that regard. But freestyle wrestling is two-sided and has a lot more options. For example, double leg takedowns and somethings like that. So Judokas who go outside the rules of Olympic Judo (i.e. Judoka who grasp the legs, etc.) are actually technically going outside these restricted "Judo" rules and becoming like a wrestler. Because of these limited rules, it is difficult for a Judoka to challenge a wrestler with just Judo. The other defense techniques they uses are actually things that are also in Freestyle Wrestling. It is a very close sport, almost all the techniques are the same, but Wrestling is more comprehensive and two-way because Judo has restrictions

[@rns7426]

@@dogukandogan6554you do realize judo has double legs and single legs? Morote gari and Kuchicki Daoshi? Leg grabs are apart of judo and have always been taught and utilized until 2010. It’s only Olympic style judo and judo clubs that leg grabs are banned. Then there Sambo which is more like old school judo than judo in the Olympics today. Luckily it’s still around and has no dumb sport rules to ban grabbing legs.

[@aitemirmelisov9748]

[@Pootie_Tang]

@@aitemirmelisov9748 I'll answer instead:-) I don't know most useful or not, can just retell my father's anecdotal experiences. My step father in the 80's and 90's was a competing judo practitioner, and many a time he had to defend himself on the streets (criminality level was crazy high back then here), and by his words he never had any difficulties even against competing local boxers. He used pretty much pure judo in those fights. Just a one man's story, I bet it's not what you use but how you use it, implementing the skill set you have wisely knowing its strengths and weaknesses
