so we're not allowed to examine his performance, it's only the result that matters when we talk about how he matches up with khabib?
people rave on and on about tony's ground game, when we have clear evidence that there are some serious issues with it. and those issues are in the exact area in which khabib excels.
if khabib can't take tony down - and this is a distinct possibility - then tony is in this fight. if khabib does take him down, then tony is completely and utterly fucked. he isn't going to be elbowing him from the bottom, he's going to be eating shots. he isn't going to be spamming his triangles, because he'll be passed on his first attempt. he isn't shaking khabib off when he gets side control, much less when he gets the mount.
