5 best wrestlers among UFC fighters right now

#2 Yoel Romero

Yoel Romero

Yoel Romero is a beast and most fighters and fans are rather scared of what he can do in the Octagon.

Not many know that despite his knockout power, Yoel Romero is actually a very accomplished wrestler inside the Octagon. He competed in the 2000 Summer Olympics and finished second.

Any time that he goes to the ground with his opponent, there's a very good chance that his opponent would not be able to get up again. If nothing else, his medal in the Olympics certainly proves that.

#1 Khabib Nurmagomedov

Khabib Nurmagomedov

Anyone who has seen Khabib Nurmagomedov in action knows the tactic that he employs the most. There are very few fighters who are able to withstand his relentless 'mauling' style of wrestling.

Khabib has immense cardio and uses it to maintain continuous contact with his opponents, making them exert their strength in trying to get out of his holds, instead of focusing on being able to take him out.

He wrestles his opponents to the ground, and there, he batters them with a ground and pound, where the intensity never lets up. If a fighter lets his guard down for even a second, Khabib is then in there, trying to cinch in that chokehold to finish the fight.

All of this makes him the undoubted leader in the world of wrestling in MMA.
