Call me crazy but...

I think Barboza would smash Khabib.
Every time Khabib would try to get on the inside, Barboza would punish him with leg kicks & body kicks into oblivion.
You saw Anthony Pettis thighs on TV in a non-sexual way, so just imagine Barboza non-sexually harassing Khabib.

I think Khabib could molest Barboza non sexually with his grappling. But Barboza comes hard (again non sexually) and can blast Khabibs face repeatedly (slightly sexual).

Barboza looked like a champion last week, sheesh he put on a tremendous display in that fight. As good as he looked, I just can't see him having much success versus Khabib. Khabib is on a different level than everybody else in that division it looks like.

Hmmm...Lets compare Pettis' wrestling to Khabib's ..

I dunno about smash, but if he could avoid getting taken down too many times or controlled for too long on the ground he could probably win.

 

[Bewareofdawg]

Khabib is possibly the worst matchup for Barboza in the entire universe, including GSP's alien friends. You are crazy.

 

[777 Others]

.....you crazy bro!!

 

[Paynebringer]

I like Barboza he looked fantastic against Pettis, against Khabib who I'm no fan of would Drape & Rape Barboza. Barboza would need to find a different level of aggression to combat Khabib, Khabib as no real interest to stand and strike he's looking to down & ground you.

 

[yeguiza]

OK TS

you are crazy

Yeah, in another era Barboza is a World Champ. He needs a half-decent run to get a shot at the gold but he's started that now with Pettis.....

I think this fight would come down to who can get in control in the first round. If Barboza can stick and move, land his leg kicks in the first round I think he can get start to avoid the TDs. If Khabib gets him down early he likely keeps him there throughout.

 

[DevilsLettuce]

lol.

 

[SwagJuice]

Call me crazy but i think Ferguson actually beats him.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

Barboza is great at the one thing you DON'T want to do against a great wreslter. So no I don't think he would beat him.

No question about that one.

 

[touchedbyjab]

Hard to say what form Current Khabib is in. I need to see him in a fight that isn't vs a math teacher who practices MMA after work for an hour to make any kind of comparisons.

 

[Nightmaree]

Ferguson can D'Arce choke him, imo
