If he faces against Tony then Justin after, do you think he goes 30-0?

Yay or Nay?

Nay Nay for me.
 
But Gaetje and Tony brings different set of skills that are unique. I seem him losing to either one of them.
I don't discredit them or fail to see the logic. I just don't think Khabib can be beaten anytime soon.

Yeah Tony is the last chance. And it's actually a big chance, unlike the other guys
 
Gaethje gassed out by kicking Dustin's legs. I don't think he can scramble with Khabib for 5 rounds..
 
How does Gaethje have a chance against Khabib? Isn't this guy exactly like Poirier on paper? Wrestling base, good punches - what else? Also he lost to Poirier.
Leg kicks are useless against Khabib because he will shoot when you throw it.
 
Gaethje? Are you serious?
 
Gaethje has a puncher's chance I guess.
 
Definitely interesting style match ups. Khabib's strength is obviously his wrestling, but it's worth noting that he hasn't actually fought many wrestlers in his career. Iaquinta and Johnson, both of whom were community college wresters I think. Keeping an All-American wrestler like Gaethje down consistently would likely be more difficult for Khabib than anyone else that he's faced (aside from Tibau) and getting into close quarters with Gaethje's power could be disastrous as well. Very interesting match up there. Tony's likely won't be as difficult to take and keep down as Gaethje, but Tony doesn't get tired and would probably pull guard more frequently instead of allowing Khabib to ride his back like others. I would love to see these match ups.
