Who would win a fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Ben Askren?

Probably Askren, but I'm not sure. There isn't a very big size difference between them. Ben could probably make lightweight.

Askren has said that making the olympic weight of 163lbs was difficult for him even though he doesn't look exactly fit. That is same day weigh-ins though. Add the older age i'd say his lowest he could make (with an overnight weigh-in) is between 160-163lbs
 
Gauging Askren's ability and even his size is just too difficult.
 
Ben Askren because he's the more accomplished grappler.
 
I have no reason to think that the more accomplished and bigger wrestler wouldn't win.

Then again, I've never really seen Ben Askren fight.
 
Lots of people Ben Askren this question lately...

They are about the same size. I'd love to see that, I would pick Khabib... We have yet to see how he recovered from his knee injury.
