Currently Khabib Nurmagomedov is a 1.38 odds favorite. Khabib Nurmagomedov is arguably the most dominant wrestler the lightweight division has ever seen. In Edson Barboza he faces one of the top strikers of the division. Edson Barboza can definitely win this if he catches Khabib Nurmagomedov with a flying knee as Khabib tries a takedown or Barboza can wear out Khabib with his famous leg kicks for an advantage in later rounds.
I think Khabib Nurmagomedov can take down anyone at lightweight no matter how good their TD defense stat is. Judges usually give the round to the person on top so my prediction is Khabib Nurmagomedov by decision.
