RE: Your point about Khabib being better on ground
While there is a case to be made here -- Khabib has never faced someone with the ground skills of Tony Ferguson. We are talking black-belt under Eddie Bravo's 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu (a no-gi school that is designed more for MMA than Gracie), on top of a collegiate wrestling background.
Also, Ferguson isn't just another grappling-1st / everything-else-2nd. He is deadly on feet, and has 10x the tank Conor does.

My point being -- Tony can hold his own on the ground; he won't gas-out; and he has far superior striking skills than Khabib.

Am I saying wager all your Steem against Khabib? No -- while I am Team Tony at the moment, Khabib's record and legacy speaks for itself right now -- the guy is a true beast.

Bottom line -- this will be the hardest fight Khabib has had to endure in the UFC. If he does eventually get Tony to tap [unlikely; I think this will be a bloody match that goes to decision], it will take far longer than all his other opponents.
