Just Rewatched Khabib vs. RDA

Not at all, it's almost the best in the UFC. That and his length make him extremely dangerous. 155 is just a different animal, and Pettis isn't completely ineffective with pressure on him. Without the threat of the takedown, I see him letting his hands and feet fly. We haven't seen anyone with the striking to take Conor out of his game. Pettis has it.
Don't get me wrong bro I'd be glued to the tv. We just see it going differently.
 
Too many variables and styles. No way to know what Khabib shows up or his much different a rematch would be. Or if someone can absorb the standup long enough to punish Conor on the ground. Conor's power is too much for 145ers. We don't know about higher weights.

The only way to know is to have then fight. Too bad RDA got hurt. We are just going to have to wait. Although there are definitely things can be learned from the Diaz fight and I'm not counting Nate out. Thompson floored him with a nasty head kick to start the barrage. Nate can take a punch.
