Which Welterweight would give Khabib his toughest test?

[Übermacht]

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Tyron for sure. The rest are manageable with varying degrees of difficulty.

 

[Cowboy787]

All of them. He would finally be fighting guys who were his size or larger.

 

[3sumrock]

Lawler because of his tdd And doesn’t back up against the cage like tyron

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

I think Tyron would fuck Khabib up.

 

[mma_genius]

There is a reason khabib kills himself to get to 155. His style would not be as successful at 170.

 

[SpedDaddyV]

Tyrone, GSP, Maia

/thread?

 

[Fight Professor]

Palhares, if he still was in the UFC. Shields too.

 

[Ace88]

Tyron and maybe GSP if he came back. Other than that I’d consider favoring khabib against all other WW. Although GSP might be too far declined at this point.

Would be curious to see how he fares against Usman and Maia.

 

[tehMoose]

Askren

 

[Übermacht]

Tyron for sure. The rest are manageable with varying degrees of difficulty.

I think Tyron would fuck Khabib up.

Yeah, he's probably Khabib's worst match-up. I would even go so far as to say that Khabib would not land a single takedown in that fight. And Woodley's power is too much for his chin.

 

[Gilday]

I think Lawler would fuck him up

 

[jpadilla295]

Probably woodley knowing how good is cage circling is

 

[michi972]

Tyron, GSP, Thompson

 

[DRMZ]

Askren

 

[A.S. Deep]

Tyron for sure. The rest are manageable with varying degrees of difficulty.

Tyron for sure. Would also love to see him against beasts like Usman, Maia, and Wonderboy who could outwrestle him, submit him, and KO him respectively.

 

[MMACroatia]

I would favor Woodley but you can bet Khabib would give Woodley a much harder time in defending takedowns then Maia.

 

[MayhemMonkey]

Tyron or Maia

Dude rolls and holds his own with Rockhold. So I wouldn’t be so sure.

 

[The ScorpioN]

There are many.

Tyron, Usman, Askren beat Khabib 9/10 times.

Thompson, Rory beat him 7/10 times.

He'll be 50/50 vs guys like Colby, Maia and post USADA Lawler.

Beats the rest.

There's a reason he kills himself making 155. 170 has a lot better and bigger wrestlers.
