Remember Khabib is said to outrgapple bigger wrestlers all the time in training, even DC. So who you think would win? Fight would be at WW.

Also, not even sure how much bigger Hughes was, if any.. Fighters cut less weight back then.
 
Khabib prolly

Hughes is a bigger test than anyone hes fought so far though
 
Hughes might be a little too big. Or maybe not. I'd say Khabib is more skilled.
 
Khabib has better standup.
Not great, but better.
 
Nobody would be able to get a takedown and it becomes a mediocre kickboxing match.
 
Love Matt but Kebab mauls him.

They wouldn't be able to rebroadcast it because of the brutality.
 
Khabib would win. His wrestling is better than Hughes' ever was. Plus his striking is better too..

Mma has evolved since Hughes was champ. The weight cut Hughes did is the standard in modern mma and Hughes skills wouldnt break the top 10 as of today.
The answer is simple... Khabib.

Fans need to understand that dominant champs from back in the day dosnt have anything on todays mma fighters... GSP is the exception cuz he kept on training and is still improoving.
 
Khabib hasn't beaten a top 5 guy yet but sure lets create thread after thread about him beating BJ Penn, Woodley, GSP, Hughes, Lesnar etc.
 
new generation is always better

Khabib > GPS

Woodley > GPS

Ngannou > Fedor

Conor > BJ

Joshua > Ali

Wilder > Tyson

Loma > Floyd

Tell that in the threads about Khabib beating BJ Penn, Woodley, GSP, Hughes, Lesnar etc.
 
Hughes is more proven and is just as good of a grappler

Woodley was in the UFC while Georges was champ and failed to even earn a title shot because he couldn't win a striking match with Jake Shields.... lol

There is no chance Khabib outgrapples DC.
None.
