We have two of the most vicious lightweights pit together in the UFC Octagon. If Khabib is able to dismantle Tony Ferguson, we will have a true undisputed lightweight champion, and possible pound for pound king. In Russia or in Ireland, this fight is destined to happen.
I personally want to know what anyone who follows the sport thinks of this match-up, and who exactly will win? Will Khabib be able to ground and pound Conor or submit him in the late rounds? Or will Conor dispatch Khabib with punches he has never quite felt before...
Both men can punch hard and surely take it, but Conor has been known to gas somewhat early on if he can not finish his man. Khabib is a non stop worker who will not quit or stop attacking until the opponent submits or until the referee is forced to intervene and stop the fight.
Conor's left hand is something unlike we've ever seen, he has put down the most hardened of contenders with the blinding cross and dangerous kicks he possesses. The outcome of this fight is unfathomable at this moment, and the build up will be true chaos with immense fun being had.
The banter between these two dangerous gentlemen will not only be glorious but hilarious, two warriors at the prime of their athletic prowess looking to dismantle the other. If you are passionate about kinetic force, energy, and the realms of modern combat...start following these men now.
It will be true chaos once this fight gets made, and we of course can not overlook the dual between Khabib and Tony later on in Spring of this year. The lightweight division is on full tilt again with a triad of contenders looking to shake up the mixed martial arts world forever...so who do you got?
Khabib by raping

I rate them both extremely highly as fighters, they are 2 of my favourites. It would be a fascinating contest. A true striker versus grappler match up.
As you say though Khabib has Tony Ferguson in front of him and there's every chance Ferguson can defeat him.

I was going to do a blog post on how to beat Khabib and Conor. I guess I can touch on it here, and then write a full blown break down.
In my opinion, the way to go about beating or nullifying Khabib, is to have a low stance and base, only boxing, and to constantly come forward with either jabs and straights. Khabib uses high pressure and forces his opponents to back pedal. You should never give your opponent what he wants. Use jabs and straights in rapid succession, a low base and move forward, and never over commit on upper cuts and hooks.
Connor uses his length to beat his opponents. That's the main reason he had problems with Nate Diaz, because the Diaz brothers uses their high volume of punches and length to win. Its either you fight in clinch or outside of arm length, kickboxing length.
Also, look at what Chad Mendez did to Connor on 10 days notice. Took him down consistently, and cut him. Eventually, cardio caught up with him.

Mmm.. What a cracker it would be. I had been imagining a fight like this to happen.. Normagomedov's good takedown and striking offense may be a factor against McGregor's defense.. However Normagomedov would have a chance to win by decision while McGregor by knockout.

Have you listened to the Rogan Podcast with Danaher?
According to Danaher, i think he said "It's either like a man beating up a child on the ground, or it's just a flush knockout."
Conor's defense is good at best but he's dealing with probably the best takedown artist in MMA today.
Great post, man!
