I just don't see it. He's been a lot better at LW but ultimately I don't see a path to victory for him in this one. It's still a cage fight and shit can happen, but I don't see it vs Khabib
I don't see any scenario where he wins this fight with khabib . He has a small striking advantage but Khabib is literally better in every other facet .
Conor had a bigger striking advantage but he still got nuked by khabib.
This is an MMA standard answer. What's relevant is that the outcome will be both interesting & entertaining to see.It's MMA, anything can happen. Dustin has very good boxing and power in his hands. Cardio is as good as Khabib's is, and definitely better than McGregor's. Grappling skills are on par with McGregor's, probably better. And even Conor was able to stuff over half of Khabib's takedowns.
Khabib is obviously where the smart money is, but Dustin's got a better chance than people wanna admit
It's not about stuffing a few TD. What Khabib does when he works on pulling opponents down is, he drains the power out of them. Then they loose the power and speed in their strikes. We have never seen Dustin in a fight where he will be fighting TD after TD after TD. So we will see how he does. But I don't expect it to be much different than MJ, Barboza fight..It's MMA, anything can happen. Dustin has very good boxing and power in his hands.
