Maybe not popular but Diaz has the perfect style to beat Khabib. Styles make fights. This fight will probably never happen, but just like McGregor v. Diaz 1 I would beat on Diaz again here. Sprawling high level ground, lanky, cardio, and proper boxing = tough out for the way Khabib fights. Khabib is a pressure fighter and that doesn't work against the 209.
Nate has terrible takedown defense, flat-footed with no stopping power. The only thing in his favor for that hypothetical matchup is his endurance. He would get rushed and slammed every round and sit under Khabib's ground and pound while Nick throws in the towel again.
