Khabib has a very limited stand up ability in comparison to Conor McGregor. Everybody knows Khabibs game plan here and Khabib should be able to ragdoll Conor on the ground. However McGregor is very good at keeping distance and Khabib has to carefully pick his spots here so he doesn't get tagged on the way in for a TD. I firmly believe Conor wobbles Khabib early and KOs him within 1. Very unpopular opinion around here but it is what it is.
Ferguson can fight Conor anywhere (unlike Khabib), he has very good standup and is very dangerous on the ground. He is also bigger than Conor with a longer reach, and has some very good kicks and subs. Fergusons biggest threat of losing to Conor comes in round 1 as McGregor is arguably the best 1st round fighter in the UFC right now where, on the contrary, Ferguson is very underwhelming in the first round (see last two fights : RDA, Landobless). If Ferguson can survive round 1 and the first half of round 2 I believe Ferguson beats Conor however he wants via superior gas tank and better skillset overall. I would pick Ferguson here if I HAD to bet on this fight. But, both have a very good chance.
