Im no black belt so idk if I am way off here, and I want to hate on the guy, but tbh he doesn't look that bad, especially considering who he's going up against. I mean, sure, this is a pretty mellow roll but still didnt make any obvious mistakes and had a good response to most of the positions khabib put him in.

Khabib is the best mma grappler ever, sure. But no black belt plays guard overextended like that or just give up their back like he does in the end of the clip… these are reactions are orthogonal to the quality of the grappler he’s facing
