What has Khabib done so special besides have one big win in his entire career against RDA?
Melendez would wreck him IMO. Cerrone would be an interesting one.
It comes down to an ability to watch fights, analyze them and extrapolate.
People were saying the same thing to me when I told them Weidman would dominate A. Silva. All I heard was the "well who has he beat? Mark Munoz?".
Its b/c some people know fighting while others can only look at fight finder and try and judge by that.
Khabib is undefeated, 6-0 in the UFC and has a dominant win over the #1 contender. He has beat a good mix of strikers and grapplers and no one has challenged him.
Who has Gilbert Melendez beaten recently that makes you think he would "wreck" Khabib? Diego Sanchez by decision? lmao
IMO, due to his style, Pettis is the only guy in the division that would not be a significant underdog to Khabib.
