What's Your Assessment of How Barboza Can Do On The Ground Vs. Khabib?

[Leonard Haid]

We all know that unless Barboza can KO Khabib in the first round the fight will end up on the ground.

 

[Rider1]

My assessment is that he will become scrambled eggs pretty quickly

It’ll be like Gordon Ramsey breakfast shows but with more blood

 

[Fadetoblack918]

Not good. Khabib will smash him on the ground.

Wrap Habibi up in his guard and pray they get stood up.

 

[SeattleFightFan]

well, that's the million dollar question, eh?

though some believe he has the footwork to fight long and avoid the takedown.

 

[DRMZ]

Not well.

Khabib for all his wrestling prowess is not overly athletic, he tends to secure takedowns by body to body then trip.

If Barboza can stay long and utilise lateral movement wisely, I would put it past him to catch and hurt Khabib.

 

[Paynebringer]

On the ground it's pretty much over Khabib grinds on another level, so happy all fights start on the feet.

 

[Jopious Extronimous]

I hope he rocks Khabib, get's taken down by a panic shot and then ends up submitting him with a triangle.

If that happens I'll personally send Barboza a thank you letter. Everyone should be rooting for Boza on this, he constantly fights and brings us epic highlights, never talks shit. And he's going against an overly entitled blanket who does nothing but talk shit and miss weight.

If you like MMA, you're going with Edson on this.

 

[Danespina]

Well Barboza did just nail Dariush coming in for a takedown.

 

[Boevik]

Barboza via guiliotine.

Fuck off with that ridiculous rant. War Eagle gonna whoop that ass.

Khabib's favorite word - smash.

 

[legkicktko]

Fuck off with that ridiculous rant. War Eagle gonna whoop that ass.

Lol. “Ridiculous rant”.

Just tell him the truth.

“Keep your facts away from my feelings”.

 

[Affenschädel]

It might be against the rules.

Savage but a ton of truth spoken here.

Fuck off with that ridiculous rant. War Eagle gonna whoop that ass.

Yeah let's just hope "war eagle" can get his fat ass off the ground and into the cage by making weight for a change. The guy has more tweets about tiramisu than he has fights in the last year, and you're defending that? Get the fuck outta here....

 

[MCS]

Poorly. He won't get up if Khabib gets repeated TD's. Barboza doesn't have the guard needed. It'll be GnP hammering until the ref steps in.

 

[Squintz]

Barboza will brush off Khabib’s takedowns like Aldo did to Edgar.

Khabib usually grapples and then takes his opponents down as opppsed to shooting for a traditional single or double. He’s gonna get lit the fuck up when he gets within Barboza’s striking distance.

 

[cevo]

Khabib will absolutely smash Barboza on the groud, he needs to avoid the takedown like his life depends on it.
