I didn't say he's "never done anything" to guys with good guards. I said he's never hurt them or come close to finishing them. Unless I messed an example of it? I understand what I'm seeing just fine, so save the attempt at being condescending. Khabib is absolutely terrific at top control, chain wrestling, passing to half guard. He'll wreck guys on the ground who don't have the skills off their back to to re-attain guard, or who don't understand they can't get lazy when Khabib is going to trap their arm.
I mean, did I miss Khabib really doing damage and even coming close to finishing someone with a good guard? Do we agree that Ferg at the least has a "good" guard and feel for what guys are trying to do if he's on his back? I mean, there's a chance I'm just seriously overrating Ferg's abilities off his back (and it's not like I think he's Marcelo here) but I don't think so.
As I already said, Ferg is gonna have to make some adjustments to his guard game here if put on his back, especially early. He can't just rely on high guard because Khabi's posture is too good. He needs to mix it up, create small amounts of space and make Khabib WORK to get that space back. I don't think Ferg on his back early in the fight is gonna have a ton of success. But I think he can avoid any serious damage and make Khabib work, which could play into cardio. And I'll take Ferg's cardio over Khabib's (or to be fair anyone else's in the division or maybe in MMA).
Again, please don't condescend. I've been doing this too long to read that silly nonsense. Khabib can win for sure. Hell he can even look good doing so. I'd be pretty stunned if he finished Ferg, but I've been wrong before.
