I love me some Tony, but something tells me he doesn't have the credentials to bang with Khabib.
Watch this:
It's a nice overview of a lot of Tony's fights. What's missing? Guys who can really wrestle at the highest level - aside from Kevin Lee. Tony seemed to luck out in that one, since Kevin gassed (possibly due to a staph infection).
Regardless, it seems like Tony just hasn't fought enough fighters who can wrestle to handle good ole Khabibi.
How much wrestling can the guy do in 4 months? Probably not enough to beat someone who was practically born wrestling.
Tony has his pluses: length, size, good power in his punches without needing to overcommit, scrappy, unpredictable.
But is he lacking experience in fighting master wrestlers? He's just used to swangin and bangin, I don't think he has picked up enough experience in dealing with wrestlers. And it's not something you can pick up in a few months.
