Title says it all. Khabib vs RDA/Alvarez winner in the fall seems logical. Who ya got?

Jiu-Jitsu Jesus via rear naked choke
 
Chiesa vs Conor is the fight to make.
 
Unless ferguson could tag Chiesa on the feet, he would get himself subbed so fuckin quick lol.
 
Tony is the way better fighter but Chiesa is a very dangerous style for him.
That is because Tony likes to roll around for no reason and put himself on the ground.

If he avoids rolling around and just comes with the sprawl and brawl plan I don't think Chiesa can take him down but I don't think Tony will help himself

Yeah I think he's a really tough fight for Tony because of Tony's TDD. For a guy who doesn't look overpowering grappling with Chiesa seems like wrestling with an octopus.

I don't know man, Chiesa is a tough dude who can make anyone's life miserable. He got injured in the fight against Lauzon.....but even in that fight he made lauzon's fight miserable to a certain point....

I gotta admit I have been one to really underestimate the guy since how he lost against Masvidal. But he has become insanely under rated. I never expected him to sub Dariush o_O
 
I love the matchup. Stylistically, it's my favorite fight in the division- maybe in all of mma.

Chiesa is so deadly on top. Last night, I actually figured he could win via submission- and certainly via tko from the mount/back. And I am aware of how good Dariush is; overall, he's probably the best grappler in the division (position-wise, anyway). I just think Chiesa is that good on top.
 
I honestly think Chiesa would win and make it look easy. I think him to be VERY underrated in this ufc lw division. lost a lot of steam after the lauzon fight, but could very well be a top 5 guy on the low.
 
I've liked Chiesa since his TUF win and like how he has progressed and made his way into the top 15.
I want see him fight someone around the top 10 and then get someone in the top 5 range.
He should be above Iaquinta since beat him, if they haven't updated the rankings already.
 
Ferguson is the smart pick but Chiesa has a habit of pulling things out of nowhere so who knows. Would watch the shit out of this fight.

I got Ferguson in that fight, he is better on the feet than Chiesa, and he is more tricky and crafty on the ground too.
 
Ferguson would beat the piss out of Chiesa.
 
Would be a good fight, Ferguson wins

Khabib doesn't deserve a title shot ahead of Ferguson, tony has been on a great win streak while khabib has been injured
 
Ferguson would easily beat him standing, and probably from top position. Beneil gassed and looked more out of shape than usual
