If FE moves back to LW and wants to fight the Eagle

 
I think Khabib would be the favorite. Frankie would be running scared all fight.
 
i dont think their manager will let Edgar get embarrassed by this fight before Edgar fights Mcgregor. (they got the same manager)
 
I think Khabib has the potential to beat any man that can make 155
 
Tough one, but yeah Khabib should be favorite.
 
Frankie wouldn't move up. Weird question. Why even consider this matchup?

And, no.
 
Edgar by Khabib getting hurt again before the fight.
 
Khabib Nurmagomedov highlights 2016. LMFAO!
 
Frankie stays out of his takedown range. Shutout decision for Edgar

your an idiot dude, Frankie is way too small to fight a big lightweight such as Khabib. Frankie would literally get tossed around the cage

He has fought bigger guys and did very well against them,also used to be the champion of that division.
Anyways I think Khabib would be the favourite but not the way you're making it out to be.

Not really, the only guy that was comparable in size was Benson Henderson (Swanson is still a lot smaller than Khabib). He lost to Henderson
 
I'd make Frankie the slight favorite. People seem to forget that Frankie was the LW champ, and has seemingly improved since then. Frankie's movement combined with Khabib's lack of striking technique is a bad combination for Khabib. He'd have a hard time closing the distance to work his takedowns.
 
Edgar stuffs his takedowns and out boxes him easily, probably even knocks him out.

So because Frankie won't want to tie up and grapple with Khabib, that means he'll be running scared? Because he'll constantly be the one moving away, he's scared? Why would he give Khabib ANY chance to tie up and take him down? To me it sounds like a smart gameplan. Grappling with Khabib at all is a bad idea because he's so good at that.

Frankie would keep it standing and dance around Khabib and take advantage of his sloppy striking. Frankie's TDD phenomenal, if Khabib can't cut him off at the fence, clinch and take him down, I don't see how he wins this fight because Frankie is light years ahead of on the feet.

He lost very close and debatable fights.Maynard is there too.
Just an indication he can hang with them and won't be rag dolled as you think.
If you actually watched those fights then you'd know,but I doubt it.
