Donald Cerrone: Khabib Nurmagomedov is going to be my next opponent for sure!

[MachidaNo1Fan]

50-45 Khabib. Horrible matchup for Cerrone

Khabib by a dominant decision.

It'll be interesting to see how Khabib handles Cerrone's bottom game.

 

[Jormungandr]

Insane to think he was supposed to fight him in september and in the meantime he just added Alvarez, Jury and Bendo to his resume.

Big Khabib fan, but I think Cerrone may be able to stuff his takedowns. Tough fight to call.

 

[JDB]

Khabib by derailment.

Why a nightmare match? Cowboy was shown great tdd and scrambles and devastating knees to shorter opponents who rush in. Even though im not sure how would he win, khabib has shown himself tough as nails

Cowboy does have the 2nd best TDD at LW in UFC, only guy better is Tibau and Khabib went 0-13 against him. Cowboy would make Khabib pay significantly more for failed takedowns than Tibau did. The only guy in UFC to take Cowboy down and keep him there was RDA and that was after dropping Cowboy to his knees.

The other guys in UFC who took Cowboy down had...
Myles Jury: 3 seconds on top with zero strikes and was caught in an omoplata
Jim Miller: 7 seconds on top with zero strikes
Vagner Rocha: 14 seconds on top with 3 hammerfists and avoids omoplata
