Khabib and Ferguson vs Conor - How do they go?

Tony has reach and height advantage against Conor and we've seen how durable and well-rounded he is. Problem I see is how often he gets hit. Despite that, he seems to have a cinderblock for a head and I believe he could just be a flat-out better version of Nate in there - and we all saw the problems he posed. This ones tricky for me to call.

 

Everyone is excited about Khabib right now but I've never been particularly impressed with his striking and we saw him get clipped by a less skilled puncher tonight. That said, he seems to have amazing conditioning and has an equal or greater advantage in the grappling department. He's got an inch of height on Conor and is at a reach disadvantage. His style is a bit of an engima to me and though it's cliche to say it, I could see him dominating after a round or two.

 

What say you, UG?

And on the topic of feathweight threats: I really wanted to believe Frankie could do it, even after the Aldo loss but my hope is all but gone at this point. I think he'd have his KO cherry popped. I definitely think he has the highest fight-IQ out of anyone Conor's faced and would stick to a solid gameplan but he's been in a few too many wars for me to like his odds against Conor. 

 

Max is good but I don't see him having evolved enough to compete. And despite how critical I've been of other fighers, I'd still like to see an Aldo rematch for history's sake.
