Epic matchup - Top striker in the division vs top grappler. For some reason this match up reminds me of Nate vs Conor.. Conor learned from that lose to Nate, and will respect Khabibs ground game and I dont think Khabib can hang with Conors striking..! Khabib would have momentum on his side as Conor has been out of the game for nearly a year and half..

I see Conor using his TDD to neutralize and frustrate Khabib, making him look somewhat one dimensional. Maybe Conor doesn't get the KO, even though Khabib hasn't been tested by a striker like Conor, with his magical left hand touch of death and all his KO's, but wins the decision overall with his striking. Most of Khabibs fights go to decision and he only has 2 TKO's in the UFC..
