Honestly, I pick Palhares. Sambo fighters are supposed to be specialists at leg locks, which is somewhat true. But Palhares is a lesser-part of the newer school of no-gi leg locks which are not really seen in sambo.
Khabib's striking or punching power is not enough to stop Palhares. If he were to try gnp Palhares from the guard standing like Khabib usually does, he would lose a leg. Paul is also bigger.
