GSP vs Khabib at 170

In a 5 round fight GSp finishes Khabib! In a 3 round fight GSP finishes Khabib....
 
Their grappling skills are comparable but GSP is naturally bigger, stronger and has far superior striking. He would have little fear of clinching up with Khabib which would allow him to unload on his dome.

I also think that, although close in skill, GSP would use his size/strength advantage to control Khabib against the fence and on the ground.
 
I have a feeling GSP would gas quick.

When has GSP ever gassed or even looked tired? If he's in the same shape as he used to be. He also has 100x the wrestling Barboza has.
 
Even at 36 years young GSP is still one of the worst matchups for Khabib at 170. GSP by riddum.

There is a reason that Khabib is literally killing himself to cut down to 155.5lbs every fight.
