I was reading an interview where Khabib's father said that after his son gets the LW belt, they want him to move to WW. and that he is confident that his son would have success there. And then he said "look at all the success RDA is having, a guy that Khabib dominated" , as part of the reason why he believes Khabib would be very successful at WW.

Was Khabib's father doing some MMA math there?

Because I don´t see Khabib's game matching up well stylistically speaking, against many of the top 10 at WW:
Woodley and Colby will be very hard to outgrapple. (you could include Usman here)
Maia is not a good idea to take down.
Lawler, great tdd. Hendricks couldn´t take him down.
Big guys like Wonderboy and Darren "I´m a lhw that cuts down to ww" Till , who can be very hard to fight against.
The fights I consider the most winnable for Khabib but would still be very tough: Masvidal, Ponz, Condit, RDA and Cerrone.


thoughts?
 
Crazy you mention that, OP, because I was reading an interview where Khabib's father said that after his son gets the LW belt, they want him to move to WW. and that he is confident that his son would have success there.

Khabib is a far better grappler than Colby and probably even better standing--i favor Khabib

RDA-- I favor Khabib

Wonderboy and Till-- Interesting match-ups

Condit -- I favor Khabib

Ponzinibbio-- Interesting match up

Maia-- a dream match up

Lawler--i khabib would take him down for sure. I favor Khabib.

Woodley? I don't see him lasting a few more years-- he's getting old



Khabib would do well at WW, but LW is better for him.

I think most of those guys murk Khabib.
 
does anybody want to know what my father said?
 
yeah yeah, he will go WW and FW at the same time, then FLW and challenge MM, then superfight with GSP in LHW and then will take that belt from Ngannou. Also he will retire at age of 30 as his father once said after he will accomplish all of that (so in 1 year).
 
Coming from a irish fan, that means a lot. Now get your 49-1 t-shirt and go home son.

I would expect nothing less than a conor aldo image from a Conor fan. So predictable. Next, you´re gonna tell me how much money he made.

I'm going to tell you he's going to march into your favela and shoot you if you're not able to work.
