Everyone thought Ronda was unstoppable, then she got dominated. The same will happen to Khabib tomorrow night, and this entire forum is gonna turn into "I told you so" threads.
Khabib cant stand with Barboza. Barboza biggest weakness is straight punches. Which is why MJ had so much success against him. He throws straights and sets up his strikes. And quickly got in on Barboza. Khabib does not setup any of his strikes, he uses strikes to setup takedowns or get in a clinch. That's almost identical to Rousey.
Also, the big game changer for Rousey was that Holm stayed at distance. Rousey always get takedowns from pressuring or her opponents getting to close. Barboza can easily stay outside of Khabib all night if he wants.
