Alex Pereira vs Khabib

[KOPPE]

This video somehow got me thinking about a fantasy match up between Pereira and Khabib.
Do you think Khabib who claims to be over 200 lbs since retiring can get it done against Pereira in a wrestling/grappling contest?
I'v been told that its not good idea to go strength v strength with a larger opponent because you won't be able to push them back,
but when they commit their weight to an action, you'll be able to exploit their momentum.

In grappling yes. But in an actual fight, fuck no

Khabib has never fought anyone remotely close to the attributes Pereira has. Sure, he possibly could take down and control him but you know what's a lot harder to do? Hold down a 230lb man vs a 180 lb man.

Also, there isn't any 6'4 guys with 1 shot shadowrealm power in the LW division.

If Khabib thought he would be the man at higher weight classes, he wouldn't have been near death trying to make 155 and that's just a fact of life.
