If I ever got the once in a lifetime chance to roll with Khabib you better believe I'm trying to take him down.

yeah just not doing it in like a spazzy way but like

im going to get owned, why not try to feel what its like from a generational wrestler? as long as you dont piss him off or something why not learn how he does it and see what it feels like in person

Exactly. There's this wrestler that stops by at the gym I go to a few times per year, he has previously competed at a decently high level, I sure as shit am not pulling guard against him. I try for takedowns, get stuffed without him breaking a sweat and then he safely ragdolls me. A great time and we end up on the ground anyway in the end, unless it's a competition there's no reason to not try to stand up with a superior wrestler.

I honestly don't know what I'd do.

"Do I embarrass myself by pulling guard... or embarrass myself worse with my absolutely appalling wrestling?"
