True, but Volkanovski likely would have dominated the vast majority of Khabib's opponents.
Possibly.
Volk has unreal strength, which is why he survived the Ortega scare (though he admits his lights were going out) and went the distance with Islam. Post fight Volk's team said they expected Islam to be stronger. I think Khabib is both stronger and a better grappler than Islam (Ortega too) and would ultimately make Volk pay, even if he didn't get the finish.
