I guess there's a reason I had this guy on ignore.
That's female behavior, and coming from you thats the reason your looking for

Well that exactly. I wouldn't call Khabib's TD unstoppable. I think his best chance against El cucuy is to get sticky Askren style.
And Khabib might he subbed in those take down attempts @asdf122345Tony will be taken donw on the first, second and maybe third
Khabib will not be able to finish Tony or inflict real damage
Khabib will get tired
Tony will win round 3 and maybe finish Khabib on round 4.
Ferguson by TKO round 4 or 5
He's subbed several guys Khabib hasn't been able to, Tibau and Trujillo for example but Khabib doesn't take chances. He's the Mayweather of MMA.I feel like if Tony can submit the likes of Kevin Lee and Barbosa (someone not even Khabib finished) he’s got a chance to pull something.
okay let me tell y'all what will happen this year:If Poirier can seriously threaten Khabib with a submission I’m sure Tony can do that and more. I’m not exactly betting on Tony, but I’m not counting him out.
Well, yeah. It’s going to be difficult to beat him any which way you look at it, and again, I’m not betting on Tony to pull it off. What I’m saying is if Dustin had a genuine shot at submitting him, Tony has a better chance at that.More like if Khabib can be in a deep submission against a black belt and escape, it's going to be hard for anyone to submit him.

Tony doesn't have bad TDD. This is one of the biggest myths on Sherdog regarding Tony Ferguson. Tony has better TDD than most of Khabib''s opponents.Yes everything can happen in this sport and this is one of the reasons of why we like it so much.
But let's be clear, for a super fight this one is very easy to predict with pure basic rationale.
1. Tony inflict damage via accumulation.
2. Tony does not have one punch KO power
3. Tony doesn't have a great TDD
4. Khabib receives minimal damage he's an outlier in this regard actually.
5. Khabib appears to have a very good chin
6. Khabib has almost unstoppable takedowns
Basically the only interesting thing about this fight are the unknown aspects which are reallly not that of a big deal.
1. How Tony guard would do against Khabibs top game. For sure he will be more active than most but to the extent to get a hold for a submission? Nah I don't see this happening. Moreover, Tony does get submissions when their opponents are damage and/or exhausted. He's not that of a grappling genius as people like to believe.
2. The cardio aspect. I do believe Tony has better cardio but Khabibs cardio is not bad. The way to tired Khabib is actually I believe by defending takedowns. That won't happen against Tony. An interesting standpoint would be that Khabib gets exhausted after two or three rounds of ground and pound and since Tony is a beast he might be able to endure that and keep coming after that.
Khabib via dec or TKO (doctor stoppage)
you are a dumbass sirTony does not have one punch KO power
