Islam vs Khabib?

[JonJonesNeedle]

I think Khabib would walk him down, take him down, and GnP him. He will probably eat shots from Islam, and will have trouble taking Islam down and keeping him down.

But essentially Khabib would big brother him, as he does in sparring.

Hard to say but I'll go with my gut and say Khabib

It's going to be hard for any LW champ to top the 3 consecutive defense finishes of McGregor-Poirier-Gaethje that Khabib had.

Until Islam has shown he can win the belt in dominant fashion and then defend it in dominant fashion, he's not on Khabib's level.

Islam looked impressive on short notice vs Green and he ran through Hooker, but there are levels to this.

Those headkicks clearly don't land on Khabib.

The first one landed clean...
