Fergie/Khabib = Ortega/Frankie

[Mufasa]

Ferg has too many tools and many ways to win.

Khabib, like Frankie, just has one.

 

[Final Say]

You're looking at the match up in the most basic possible way

Under a little bit of scrutiny it falls apart


Still, I really like Ferguson as a sizable dog here. I just don't see it anything like that Ortega/Edgar match up lol

Both Ferguson and Ortega are very comfortable off their back, that was/is the difference. Their rhythm is different than most fighters.

Some guys, say for instance are afraid of overextending on punches and getting taken down by a guy like Khabib or Frankie, but for Ferguson and Ortega, they flow a bit more freely in their movements.

In Frankie’s case he respected Ortega’s submission skills greatly and it worked in reverse, and he was the one having to mind his manners with his TDs. He couldn’t get a read option on Ortega, because Ortega doesn’t respond the same way that most fighters do to his feints.

But a lot of times, it also means Ferguson/Ortega are down on scorecards a lot of times because they’re too comfortable off their back.

Catch 22

......Except they're 4 very different fighters so I have no idea what you're on about.
Maybe in your world Kebab = Frankie, but not in mine.

Ferguson is a laidback type of fighter , very cerebral and very dangerous in a scrabble , Khabib is a nightmare on top with positioning and pressure , if Khabib's stamina holds up he beats Ferguson .... however Fergusons cardio is excellent and his pacing is very good ( always busy in guard , looking for a submission ) .... but i think Khabib will be overwhelming in his pressure on the ground.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

I can see vague similarities between Tony and Ortega but I cannot wrap my head around how you can see any stylistic similarities between Frankie and Khabib (other than their GnP heavy game plans).

 

[Nightwish]

Frankie and Ferguson both move a lot but rely plenty on their chin and recovery.

khabib is like sledge hammar with his strikes on top...while edgar hits hard, but is far less powerful

 

[Liverkick-king56]

Khabib isn't going to be afraid to take Ferguson down. Frankie avoided Ortega's grappling.

 

[Pascal Bergeron]

Ferguson is not 15lbs heavier than khabib so its not the same fight

Everyone's cardio is excellent until they get GnPed for a few rounds.

 

[Frank McEdgar]

Khabib is going to get worked so fucking bad in this fight.

His face is going to be an absolute mess.

 

[dipstickjimmy]

How is it that Frankie has only 1 way to win a fight? He has 22 wins with 50% by decision and 50% by finish. 7 KO/TKO and 4 Submissions. How is that a 1 dimensional fighter?

 

[Juventud]

That's not a fair comparison and i hate Khabib.

Frankie was an aging fighter slower than his opponent.

Khabib might have weak stand up but the fight is much more evenly matched.

Age/speed was a big part of the Frankie fight.
Maybe Tiramisu will play a factor but we have to wait and see.

 

[Chad W]

nah, not so much. frankie's striking is significantly more developed compared to khabib.

Khabib is an elite fighter. Edgar has never been that good and was lucky he got matched up with an unmotivated past his prime Penn who was ruling a barren division. Edgar just got his shit pushed in by an absolute nobody and it was beautiful to see that crybaby KtFO

Khabib is going to smother Tony.

 

[theTKDguy]

i don't see the resemblance at all, different matchups

[Heel_Mark1410]

T-Ferg by whatever he wants. He's a fearless cocky and risk taking mother fucker. Which is gonna be Khabib's kryptonite/

 

[Slatersan]

And the award for the worst comparison ever goes to...
