Trevor Whittman is one of the top proponents of towel throwing in MMA. He has shown great care for his fighters before–his calling the Marquardt fight was one of the most humane acts I’ve seen from a corner in MMA.
We all know that Justin is capable of absorbing unbelievable amount of damage. If Khabib puts in 2-3 rounds that look like Conor Khabib round 2, I wouldn’t be shocked to see Trevor preventing the fight from going into rounds 4 or 5.

My bigger concern is a premature stoppage by a referee. I don't want to see either guy (more likely Gaethje, IMO) get beaten into oblivion, but I'd hate for the ref to step in way too soon.

Khabib is a good ground and pounder, but he is more controlling and grinding than devastating. Conor came back to win round 3 after round 2. How many GnP TKOs does Khabib have? Most of his stoppages are by submissions. A Lot less capable wrestlers, less durable guys have survived Khabib’s GnP over the course of the fight than Gaethje.

Trevor, I’m sure, knows this.
I hear you, but his most brutal beat downs (Johnson and Edson) were three round fights. Those fights should not have been allowed to go to rounds 4 & 5 if they were scheduled for that long.

That's what they do. Time and time and time again.
