Khabib has the wrestling to control Nate and the BJJ to stifle Nate's.

However Nate has a HUGE reach advantage and much better striking than Khabib. If he can keep it standing this matchup definitely favors Nate. He has a nasty guard that nobody really wants to be inside of.

I think it would be a great fight to make.

Also we've already seen Nate stuff one of Khabib's takedowns. ;)



6 seconds in.
 
Khabib 30-27 or 50-45
 
Nate couldn't sub RDA or Bendo. Why on earth would he be able to tab Khabib out of all people
 
Khabib style of fighting doesn't favor Nate's style at all. So Khabib wins.

I don't see him tapping Khabib but there's still the threat. I think that if Nate wins its by boxing.

Also RDA and Benson aren't easy guys to sub.

Especially not RDA. He's been a blackbelt longer than Nate I believe.
 
If Khabib saw you describe him as having BJJ he might suplex you
 
I would love to see Nate overcome that challenge. I think Khabib would just lay on him for 25 minutes though, or 15.

He could, obviously, just more likely he won't. Marcelo gets tapped out sure anyone can get tapped out
 
Huge Khabib and AKA fan but if you sleep on Diaz you're a dumbass.
 
Khabib blankets him 4 out of 5 times. Boring fight
 
You do realize that Khabib is a NAGA No-Gi BJJ world champion?
I'm not surprised an International Master of Sports in Sambo won a NAGA tournament, even in the (I presume) Advanced division.

This.. Nate on his A game is dangerous against anyone at LW.

Never underestimate a Diaz bro. Nates been a huge underdog his past 2 fights.
 
Nate is a much different fighter now. It wasn't in the script for him to beat McG.
He's got a champ's mentality now, makes him a threat against anyone around his division.
Yup, he could beat Eagle, and he could make it look 'street-classy' too.....
