Can someone who has a striking background enlighten us on this?
 
He'll get knocked out. Why on earth would he (best wrestler arguably in the whole sport) want to stand with one of the best striker in the division?
 
Khabib would never stand with Conor.
He knows he wouldn't do well.
 
He won't.

His own head coach on the MMA hour this week laughed at the idea of him standing with someone like Nate or Conor and said it's absurd and Khabib is not a great kickboxer, though he is improving.

It's not going to happen. I would say MAYBE he would stand with him after wearing him out with wrestling for a couple rounds - but lets be real Conor is not surviving underneath Khabib for 2 rounds.
 
I will answer this thread using the GOAT Brock as an example.

If Khabib stands with Conor, see the scenario below where Conor is portrayed by Brock Lesnar:

Otherwise the the likely scenario,

Khabib played by Brock Lesnar:

Conor will gas out and turn into a panic wrestler.
 
He'd probably get clipped with something and start shooting for takedowns

Conor should be more worried about getting knocked out by no longer having an American entry visa...
 
How is Khabib going to get close without engaging in some stand up?
Conor doesn't move straight back and has way to good footwork to be backed up to the cage.
Khabib usually closes the distance with a leaping knee or winging uppercuts..

I just don't see how Khabib gets him down without his chin being touched...

Dude does have a big jaw though so we shall see
 
Khabib refused to strike with lesser strikers than Conor. The only way I see him willingly standing is in a similar way that he did with Al in the later rounds where the power isn't there anymore.
 
In pure stand up Conor would not need a single training session, 2-3 minutes tops.
 
A lot of Conor fans will be happy and PPL rooting for Khabib will be confused as hell.
