Fantasy matchup: Wonderboy vs Khabib @170

[MMA fan93]

One of the most intriguing matches possible imo. How do you see this one going?

I think Wonderboy cruises to an easy UD using his distance control and superior striking.

Wonderboy decision in a 3 rounder

Wonderboy via TKO in a 5 rounder

 

[Erick Silva]

Khabib takes him down

 

[Erick Silva]

I would like to see khabib against usman/twood/askren and maia

 

[golddustin]

Khabib would kill him

 

[RonniePickering]

Wonderboy keeps it standing and schools him for 3/5 rounds

 

[Fesaine]

Khabib chain wrestling style doesn't work well against someone like wonderboy.

 

[Klaavical]

Wonderboy's TDD questionable against Khabib

 

[MrFeeny]

I like wonderboy......but khabib mauls him

 

[nick jacoby]

We will never know how Khabibs wrestling translates at 170 lbs. I would have to go with Khabib here.
I think he gets the takedowns he needs

 

[Egészségére!]

Lawler is Khabib's toughest matchup in ww top 10 but Khabib vs Maia would be my pick

 

[MMonk]

Wonderboy demolishes Khabib like he did to Hendrix.

 

[HHJ]

Khabib should not fight at 170.

165 maybe but not 170

 

[HOV]

Khabib knocks him out due to way superior striking

 

[Craisier]

I have doubts about Khabib against certain fighters at 170, but Wonderboy is a winnable fight for Khabib imo.

 

[Mat]

What kind of sick individual would have a fantasy this one sided in nature?

Khabib by maul 'n' smesh.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Boring fight either way. Either wrestlerape or point match. Either way not the most exciting.

 

[golddustin]

A jacked WW Khabib would put a stiff beating on this skinny sack of bones

 

[RubberGuard420]

Weird fight lol.

Khabib is a natural 165er and Thompson is a natural 175er. These weight classes really need to be made in MMA.

165:
Khabib
Ferguson
Masvidal
RDA
Diaz
Hernandez
Felder
Gunnar
Cerrone
Kevin Lee

175:
Woodley
Usman
Covington
Askren
Wonderboy
Lawler
Maia
Ponzinnibio

Stop trying to matchup Khabib with WW's. He still has unfinished business in his own weight class with Ferguson, Cerrone and others. Half the top WW's haven't fought each other yet.
