2019 Usman vs 2019 Khabib at 170 - who wins?

Considering Khamzat couldnt submit him, it would be a tough fight for Khabib. Khabib much better suited to LW with his attributes.
 
I dont think Khabib could get Usman down. Usman is a lot stronger than someone like Tibau (probably). Even if he did, Usman would get up.

On the feet, I'd say Usman probably out points Khabib. Both guys would have to respect the other guys wrestling shots.

Khabib's top game is better than his takedown game in all honesty. Usman I think would be able to defend the takedowns pretty well. Lesser fighters have.
 
Khabib in his prime run when he finished Conor, Dustin and Gaethje consecutively was scary and only improving.

Usman was overrated as hell his title defences wins were against Colby X2, Burns and Masdival who were also overrated. WW was a weak division and still is which is why Belal is on top even though Khabib and Islam are way better than him.
 
A past prime Usman was able to negate Khamzats wrestling overall. He'd mostly likely be able to keep the fight standing against Khabib, and he had a stiff jab and a powerful right hand. You'd have to favour him.

Yeah but that none of that has anything to do with the fact that Usman will be a much bigger guy than hes used to fighting, and wont mentally break from a guy dominating him on the ground.

If Khabib can get him there, and on the feet, Khabib would also be at a disadvantage.

Anything can happen, obviously...but on paper this is a tough fight for Khabib, and other WW's would also be. (Shavkat,Belal etc)
 
So many (butthurt) people wanted Khabib to move up but this fight would be another reason why weight classes exist. Khabib would make it a fight but I'd favor Usman to win even if he never sounded confident in his abilities to beat Khabib in this hypothetical match up.

Usman scramble ability and TDD are next lvl for all Khabib opponents,
One division above.
Striking 85-15% Usman.
 
Prime Usman is the nightmare matchup Khabib never had to deal with.
 
Usman out points him on the feet.

It would be a boring fight I thinkb
