Simple FACTS on Khabib vs. Tony (and *WHY* Khabib wins ... Easily)

[PitDoggMMA]

First, let us acknowledge that both Khabib and Tony are great fighters.

Second, let us acknowledge that both Khabib and Tony have the same "UFC winning streak" numbers.

However, third, let us acknowledge that is where the similarity ends.

Let us now examine their differences ...

PREMISES:
* Khabib = 28 - 0 (100% WINS)
* Tony = 26 - 3 (90% WINS)

* Khabib has never lost a round (1 if you count Conor)
* Tony has lost 15 rounds.

* Khabib has never been knocked down
* Tony has been knocked down multiple times

* Khabib has never been cut
* Tony has been cut multiple times

* Khabib has never been dominated, never been on his back (more than a split second)
* Tony has been dominated many times, fore

CONCLUSION:
Tony will have no choice but to be on his back ... where he will realize Khabib's lifetime of experience dwarfs Tony's "last several years" of experience. Not to mention Tony has never faced anyone with Khabib's stamina, aggression, or experience either.

Tony gets dominated a lot on the ground by lesser fighters than Khabib. Tony is good at "catching people" while being dominated ... but he has faced no one with anywhere near the ground savvy of Khabib.

Meanwhile, Khabib has never been dominated on the ground, in his life, and has faced greater wrestler/submission fighters than Tony.

IMO, the above facts ... combined with the fact Khabib is in his absolute prime ... while Tony is past his prime ... equal the reasonable, sporting conclusion that Tony Ferguson will get dominated and either submitted or stopped by Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Mark my words.

 

[Karuzo]

Maybe, maybe not.

 

[Anewt]

Stopped reading after has never lost a round. Unless you count Connor...... sorry but one or the other plz... specially on point 1

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

 

[JabToucher]

Maybe, maybe not.

That's a bold prediction!

 

[Lukn4trbl]

Tony kicks the guardrail 3 times before entering the cage.

Beebs is done.

 

[Brodie]

Yup I love tony but i think Khabib wins easily.

 

[PitDoggMMA]

That's a bold prediction!

Not really.

Every single win record, longevity record, statistical record, experience record, accomplishment record, undefeated record, statistical/injury record (during a fight) ... etc., etc., etc., etc. ... favors Khabib.

Denial isn't rebuttal; it's only denial.

* Khabib has never lost a round (1 if you count Conor)

Weird thing to say. Why wouldn't we count Conor, as Khabib literally lost that round. Makes you sound kinda biased ...

 

[bigmacbub]

Eh 49-46 Beebs

 

[Prick_Flair]

Maybe, maybe not.

Maybe fuck yourself

I don’t know why I even bothered to come into this thread I knew exactly what I was going to find. I don’t mind predictions but this is obviously a competitive fight. It would be very hard to imagine a reasonable and well educated fan with no bias predicting either guy takes it “easily”.

 

[TheLastEmperorReurns]

By that logic Khabib will never and can never lose

 

[Karuzo]

Maybe fuck yourself

Ay, come over here and say that to my face.

The same Conor that was cheating like a mad man? That round should not count or at least should have an asterik

 

[PitDoggMMA]

By that logic Khabib will never and can never lose

Nor has he.

Lol there is no predicting a fight like this.

Who the hell knows what's going to happen?

I think Khabib will win by decision, but Tony has the cardio, pace and skills to make it really interesting especially after round 3.

 

[llperez22]

lost my attention when you said khabib has never lost a single round unless you want to count the time he lost round. I mean that bias 101 right there.

 

[EmEmEh?]

Obligatory Post Your Bet Slip or STFU.

 

[BooBoyMan]

has faced greater wrestler/submission fighters than Tony

I agree with most of your conclusion, but who has Khabib faced that have better submissions than Tony? Tony is by far the best grappler Khabib has faced.

Tony is the best fighter Khabib has ever faced period.

Not very many people get a 12 fight win streak in the UFC.

This is 2 p4p fighters both on 12 fight win streaks going at it. There is no predicting this fight.
