R1 puts to bed the Khabib V Tony question

[moosaev]

Tony would’ve gotten ragdolled

 

[Vulcan]

shit son i am sad now

 

[20falarVerdades]

His guard game and "elbows from the bottom" have always been terribly overrated by Sherdoggers

 

[rbenzell01]

Absolutely

Been saying that for years.

 

[Chael_Sonnen]

Yes, but don't underrate Oliveira. There is a case to be made that his ground game is close to the level of Beebs.

 

[Arkham's Notorious Geyser]

It doesn't just put it to bed....it drags it to the back of the Shed and Old YELLERS that bitch.

 

[Moonwalker95]

Agreed, man

Thought that since the Kevin fight :/

 

[2EZ]

yep. tony is overated i keep saying

 

[Steelers4life]

Khabib would have demolished him.

 

[Trainspotter]

I’d rather have seen it.

 

[Mikeyz]

Look at what Oliviera is doing to him right here,

Imagine what Khabib would do??

 

[Arkham's Notorious Geyser]

Tony might have caught lighting in the bottle during his Streak not gonna lie, he got mounted by a Steph infected Kevin Lee, and got pieced up by Gaethje, he's a game motherfucker, but it's CLEAR he has styles he STRUGGLES against.

Good power strikers with hands, and grapplers with good top control, Khabib more than likely would have finished him.

 

[DeeDubb]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Tony's tricks simply won't work against the most elite grapplers. As far as 155 grapplers, Khabib and Do Bronx are 1 and 2.

 

[STARSCREAM]

R1 vs Kevin Lee already told us this

 

[Rorschachxx]

B-b-b-but Tony throws elbows from guard yall?


Khabib would've absolutely toyed with Tony.

 

[DebtCollectorMMA]

+Olivera would be a problem for Khabib.

 

[2EZ]

tony in straight survival mode, cant do shit on the ground

 

[SovereignPhantom]

Agreed, though in their earlier matchups Tony was a lot less shopworn and Khabib's striking was not very good. But in a 5 rd fight, Khabib would eventually land a TD and then it's game over.

 

[DeeDubb]

+Olivera would be a problem for Khabib.

That would be a sick fight.

 

[Luckyme]

Exactly my thought after seeing that first round. Killed any interest I had left in Khabib v Tony
