Are we really going to pretend that Tony wouldn't strangle Khabib in the later rounds?

In his last two fights Khabib has gassed, he struggled to take down a battered concussed Barboza who had just been on the receiving end of two 10-8 rounds, against Al he couldn't take him down past round 3, but Al was too cautious to capitalize.

Ferguson has made a career out pacing his opponents and finishing them when fatigued.

Lee, RDA, Lando and Barboza all won the first round against Tony before drowning in his pressure.

True. Just like Ferg would strangle the shit out of Conrad
 
Are we going to pretend that he couldn't take a real estate agent down after round 3?
 
Truth is, we won't know unless whatever voodoo curse is finally lifted off this fight, preventing it from happening.

It is far and away the best match-up at LW that just can't seem to make it to the cage.
 
He was comfortable with keeping it on the feet with Al past round 3. When he really went all out for the takedown against the fence he got him down easily in round 5.
 
Honestly when I saw tonys odds vs khabib I was going to bet him. But then tony tripped over a cord which started a massive clusterfuck
 
Khabib's lack of finishing ability would be his ultimate downfall against Tony. I think Khabib takes the first 3 rounds against Tony but fails to finish him, slows down significantly, and ends up getting finished in round 5 because Tony never gasses.

Ferg vs Khabib 5 will happen in 2019.


Mark my words!


100%
 
Are we going to pretend Khabib isn’t 26-0 and no one has come close to ‘strangling’ him?
 
Let's also not pretend Tony has an unsinkable gas tank. He could get thrown and laid on and gas himself.

Maybe, as long as he doesn't trip on his way into the cage.

Are we gonna pretend Danny Castillo didnt man handle Tony ?
 
He wouldn't, Khabib would merk tony and im a fan of Tony's!
 
Are we really going to pretend that TS isn't mentally challenged?
 
Are YOU going to pretend he didnt eyepoked RDA or illegally upkicked Barboza?
 
Kevin Lee with all the holes in his game w/o a staph infection would've probably finished him. Who knows, though?
