Khabib vs Lee = DC vs Jones
Nah Lee will get gassed stuffing Khabib's take down attempts, and eventually won't be able to stuff them. Then he is done.Nobody wins, both fighters miss weight prior to the fight and it gets cancelled.
I'd take Lee at 170 though, nasty grappling. Fight could go either way honestly, but I get the feeling that it would play out on the feet in an ugly striking affair for the most part. Khabib's jab vs Kevin's switch kick.
Lee got the stoppage, but did get rocked.
Khabib was flawless in a decision.
Who wins between these two grappling beasts?!?
WTH!? Does everyone here forget what tony did to lee? I think tony sucks, but hes better than lee. Khabib would eat them both for breakfast.I see Lee winning that fight actually. Khabib beats everyone else but Lee is just too good a wrestler and too strong physically to get taken down by Khabib and dominated like the rest of the division. I see Lee defending the takedown and outstriking Khabib on the feet. Never thought that I would say this
Why does he need to defend the TD? His wrestling is as good or better than Kebab's, as MMAth provedLee had better stand up. Comes down to whether he can a) defend the takedown and b) get up again. I think he can do either 1 or 2. I'll go with Khabib, but Lee looked formidable tonight.
To be fair, Lee had a staph infection in the fight and clearly gassed out much quicker due to it. I'd pay to see a staph-less Kevin Lee vs Tony, I'd put my money on Kevin.WTH!?

Same goes for Khabib. Can he defend the takedown. Can he get back up. Lots of aggressive wrestlers aren't great off their back.Why does he need to defend the TD? His wrestling is as good or better than Kebab's, as MMAth proved
And Kevin had a staph infection for the Tony fight. Not saying Kevin would necessarily beat Tony if he didn’t have the infection, but you could clearly see his conditioning was better tonight when he wasn’t sick.
There's a difference between being a good wrestler and a good defensive wrestler. Tibau was on all the steroids in the world, and his takedown defense is 20% higher than Kevin Lee's. Also that was 6 years and before Khabib joined AKA so it's about as relevant as Kevin Lee getting outwrestled by Al Iaquinta.The last time Khabib faced a good wrestler he didn't look so dominant. A lot of people also thought he lost that fight. Lee's wrestling is good enough to nullify Khabib's. The question is could Lee withstand Khabib's pressure over 5 rounds. I dont know. But if the fight stayed standing Lee would piece him up.
