"I think for Khabib we talk about how he's not as good on the feet and he has all these problems, but his pressure is so unrelenting that he's able to land a lot of big punches on guys that we've kind of stopped talking about because he gets the takedown and he's got submissions. But he's in your face."https://twitter.com/TheNotoriousMMA/status/947852566381105152
"He landed a lot of shots on Edson Barboza who's clearly a better striker. But, because of the takedown threat, because of the ground and pound, and the pressure, guys have to back-pedal, they have to worry about his wrestling and it opens up for big strikes."
"So, one of the things that we could see that might throw people off is Khabib might be able to land some punches and some strikes because you know that he's going to be coming to take you down and you have to worry about that anytime you're fighting that guy. I think his boxing is completely forgotten about even though he's improved it and it is getting better."All valid points. Don't expect Khabib to try that 'Ali-inspired' boxing against 'The Notorious' either. His coach laughed at the prospect of that happening. October 6 is the date. Las Vegas is the location. This one's not to be missed.
