I dont wanne sound like a smartass. I havent even watched mixed martial arts for longer than 2 years. And im not biased. I like Tony and Khabib. Such strong fighters. Exceptional fighters. But I dont think Khabib is as invincible as ppl think. Hes very powerful and smart too. But, he doesnt have the greatest reach. If there is a fighter witch physical attributes that are as perfect for fighting as e.g. Jon Jones attributes (fantastic reach) and that person is also as great at stopping take downs, then Khabib is in trouble. Granted. Theres not many fighters (if any?) that have all that. Those physical attributes and off the charts anti-takedown skills, but Khabibs main weakness that I see is that he hasnt the best reach. Hes so explosive though and strikes from weird, unexpected angles (for instance that weird uppercut punch that he uses even at medium range and that isnt really a standard uppercut) that he can fight very effectively even though he has limited reach. But if somebody fights on that same level, can stop his takedowns and has better reach and is a great striker….then Khabib will have a lot of trouble. Just like DC has trouble vs Jones, because he can negate DCs insane wrestling prowess and then hammer him with long range kicks and punches. That said, I doubt Ferguson will be able to stop all the takedowns. I think a lot will happen on the ground. But so far I have seen nobody with all those attributes. Ferguson comes closest to that but I doubt hell be able to stop all takedowns. But if anybody currently in that division….I think its Tony. That wont be an easy fight for Khabib.
This will be fixed. I hope I'm wrong though
But in this fucked-up fabricated Reds-Under-The-Beds atmosphere in the US, no way UFC have a Russian beat a US fighter in the USA. Unthinkable.
