There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Even watching gorillas fight will remind you of sumo with all the hand fighting and trying to knock each Other off balance.
It makes sense, it's a good way for a bipedal or semi-bipedal creature to test strength without using their jaws or claws.
I also see no difference then to now with khabibs game .... A lot of lay and pray
Yeah A lot of wrestling does come from animals , thanks for mentioning the other sources, I'll check them out too. I just watch MMA i dont know who is who so i've never seen this guy actually fight.
I've seen many of Khabib's fights, and the last time I saw his record, I think it was a 22-0 wins/losses ratio. This video is most likely where he achieved that great ratio from.
Also, I am an active MMA and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu student (of the well-known Winchester Jiu-Jitsu academy) and catch up a lot on MMA ring events, especially those of UFC. I had interest in fighting and watching UFC/WWE ever since I was eight; starting with Taekwondo, then to Aikido, then to both MMA/BJJ while playing on my high school's football team in my Junior year. So far, its been a pretty interesting path of physical training, and I've learned a lot from training. Never have I had to use my training in a serious situation that required physical defense, but it is a good thing to have in the back of my mind.
I wouldn't last a chance with any of these well-experience animals fully grown, but animals aren't as skill-lacking as we think they are. Back on CarnivoraForums, posters were talking about how human were the best fighters and could grapple, thrash, choke, punch, throw, and bite unlike other animals. Gorillas can do this too (with a reduction in punching), tigers and other carnivores who use their limbs effectively can throw, choke, thrash, and grapple us way too easily if they tried. We really are not the good fighters as those posters mention.
