How good is Rodolfo Vieira?

According to Khabib Leandro and DC were the biggest influences on his ground game at AKA. I know he said Leandro really helped him improve his submissions.

Prior to his last two fights against Gaethje and poirier, Khabib submissions were not the greatest. I mean, he used to need to beat guys up for 4 or 5 rounds before being able to seal the deal and most times even then, go to judges.

No his submissions were always good, Leandro just helped him develop them a lot more.

Of the four 5 round fights Khabib has had he won 3 by submission, so I'm not sure what you're referring to. He had a small dip in the middle of his Career where he wasn't getting as many finishes but he was mostly focused on GnP. Apparently he made a conscious switch in styles after his layoff in 2014.

K1-habib. Can't fault the man, even our Saint Patron had gone K1 for a while.
