Khabib has never even been hurt by strikes in his career. He's not a natural striker by any means, but with the way people bring up this weakness, you'd think the guy has been lit up before, let alone lost via strikes, let alone lost EVER. Conor, on the other hand got taken down multiple times by a much smaller Chad Mendez, and has literally quit multiple professional fights on the ground before.
Hes only lost 3 damn fight and 2 of those were in 2008 and 2010. Lets not act like khabib has been through the ringer. Chad mendez got tko'd after all that wrestling. Khabib has not fought anyone near conors striking ability. Khabib biggest fight is who exactly? Barbosa? While conor has beat dustin porier, max halloway, eddie Alvarez and jose aldo. Im not saying khabib cant win but conor is great at using range and a better athlete when it comes to footwork and speed. Anything can happen.

Man, Khabib stood up vs that Laquinta dude, but he's not going to try and punch with Conor. He's going to tackle him as soon as possible. Horrible matchup for Conor
He can try all he wants and as soon as he eats a left we will see if his chin his up to par.

Barboza is as good (at least on the same level) as anyone you listed except maybe Aldo. Max was young and nowhere near the fighter he is now when Conor fought him. Khabib destroyed RDA, who was an elite LW champion and better than anyone Conor has beat except Aldo. MJ knocked Poirier the fukk out and Khabib whooped his ass.

And eddie beat rda, who got beat by conor. That 25-0 record looks inflated because of who he fought aside from a few guys. I will disagree on the barbosa talk... Aldo is still the best competition either have faced and i still stand by conor being the more explosive athlete. Grappler vs striker just depends on who can impose their will. Like i said im not saying kahbib cant win but dont act like conor cant knock that dude out with one punch cause he can. I want to see who wins if they rematch it or let tony or kevin lee get a crack at the belt. Knowing the ufc though they will just keep letting them have it to cash in.

Conor's gonna die. He looks like a nut. And he's drinking. No wonder his stamina is shyt.

Khabib is actually more likeable and I'm a Conor fan
