Tony has more tools that he could use against McGregor - Better on the feet than Khabib, dangerous on the ground, has all these weird, unorthodox movements that Conor may have difficulty timing, cardio for days, can take a punch really well, etc.
Khabib has only one way to win, and even though he's arguably the best grappler in the sport today, I could see Conor managing to clip him and take him out long before he can get the fight to the ground.
You might have a point... the deciding moment against Khabib is the takedown.. i think he will be able to do it but there is a point where Conor could KO him. Versus Tony just dominating him allround. BUT risking a KO during the whole fight.. fair enough.
That said, i think both Khabib and Tony would defeat Conor.. so i guess we agree.
