Stylistically they’re very similar and woodley isn’t that much larger, just muscular.

It’s not that far fetched for khabib to possibly make his way up a division.

Who would impose their will?
 
Woodley has this fight with ease.

T-Ferg and Conor are in trouble though
 
This would be another hall of shamer fight for Woodley. The highlight of his career was when Marquardt knocked his head off his shoulders.

1. Not only is Woodley stronger and thicker, making him harder to get a hold of, Woodley is an explosive wrestler whereas Khabib works his way into his takedowns much like Maia, so he would be good at quickly stuffing his takedowns and shoving him off.

2. Woodley has legit 1 punch KO power, and as a big Khabib fan he was stunned for a quick moment against MJ.

All Khabib would have over him is a better gas tank, to win this fight Khabib would need to add a lot of muscle to his frame.
 
Woodley & GSP is the worse type of matchups for Khabib, would not want. Khabib beats every other guy at WW though.
 
Tyron doesn’t really wrestle. His best attribute is take down defense. THAT’S where his wrestling pedigree is used.

Sure, he has 1 punch KO power...when he actually throws a punch.

He’d fight Khabib like he did Maia. Avoiding TD for 5 rounds, doing almost nothing except almost getting outstuck by practically BJJ only practitioner.

Fuck Woodley

Can’t see him beating Wonderboy or Till

To be fair, if khabib don’t cut some much weight he’d have more brain cushion for punches. Hell he took a spinning back kick from barboza right to the dome without flinching.
 
Khabib has a horrible time making 155, but he still forces himself to do so.

There's only one possible reason for that: he doesn't think he can win against top level 170'ers. Basically, Khabib disagrees that he could beat Woodley - he thinks he's too small. He's almost certainly right.
 
I suspect Woodley is too big to ragdoll and hold down, and has 1 punch knockout power in hands which isn't good for Khabib's wreckless forward pressure.

However, if he can make Woodley work hard for several rounds he might out cardio him and eventually start to maul him when exhausted. Unlikely though.

I think khabib grabs him and stays chest to chest working for takedowns until Woodley starts to gas, then drags him into deep water and breaks him. Khabib is a lot bigger and thicker than you'd expect.

The fact is he can make 155 so he's smaller than Woodley. Woodley isn't getting ragdolled by someone who can make LW.

Once you're totally gassed damn near anyone can Ragdoll you. I think khabib got a style where he's going to push the pace and make you engage and test your cardio. Also I've seen a lot of pictures of him standing next to guys who fight a couple weight classes bigger where I'm surprised that he doesn't look small next to them.
 
No champion would be the underdog against any champion a weight class below them (currently.) I wonder why that is.

The meaningless divisions (below 145) don't count.
 
It would depend on who's cardio went away first. Woodley fights conservatively to save his energy, but would Khabib be able to sap his energy with pressure? Or would Khabib wear himself out spamming takedowns?
