I wouldn’t be shocked if he won.Â
Khabib will beat him and make it look easy. Easier than he did to Poirier.
On a SideNote -Khabib will beat him and make it look easy. Easier than he did to Poirier.
Idk about that. Poirier has terrible TDD and he lacks one punch KO power like Gaethje.
But I do agree, Khabib wins

Dustin has nowhere near as good wrestling as Justin.

Well, that's real retarded. Considering Justin's wrestling pedigree. I guarantee Justin beats him. Khabib will not win.

Sore-Anus is the new CRE... OP by this prediction, we can all be 100% certain Khabib wins.
Where the hell is CRE anyway? Did he get thrown out of his mom's basement?
Khabib rnc before the championship roundsÂ
very entertaining video. he's retired 7 opponents! that's rough!
Gaethje has said in the past that the reason he no longer wrestles in his fights is because it makes him too tired. Well, that doesn't bode well going against Khabib. Â

Sure, but we’ve seen elite grapplers face very good ones in the past, and we almost always come away thinking “damn, I had no idea the grappling advantage was that big.” I’m not sure how much Justin is working on his sub defense…I’m guessing he’s working on getting back to his feet so he can break Khabib’s face…but what if he can’t?
We all saw Chael out grapple very good grapplers numerous times…guys that were assuming the grappling would be close. They Chael ran into Jones, and had no clue WTF to do when he couldn’t get away from him.
I think the grappling gap is going to be wider than people think, and Khabib is going to hold Justin down way more than expected. However, even in his most dominant performances, there’s a significant time spent on the feet as well…so it’s what happens in between takedowns that’s really interesting.
I think the fight will feel pretty nerve wracking either way…with it looking like Justin is one good combination away from changing the fight over and over. Every time the fight is standing, it’ll feel like something crazy about to happen.
I think Khabib likely wins, but I have no clue honestly. It wouldn’t shock be if Justin stopped him, but I think it will have to be him hurting and stopping him, and not a 5 round decision. I don’t think there’s a 155 pound fighter on the planet than can beat Khabib by decision, his grappling is just too dominant.

I think the first few rounds might be kinda close, but eventually Khabib wears Gaethje down and finishes him. Hard to get combos off when you’re defending a takedown.
a few things that make me think Khabib win are:
- Gaethje mentioned himself that wrestling makes him tired and Khabib does not gas
- Khabib hasn’t taken many big shots, but the one’s he has, he’s survived.
- Gaethje’s sub defense is a huge question mark
- Gaethje hasnt wrestled at a high level in almost 10 years. Sure he’s got some D1 guys coming in, but Khabib’s from what I can tell is different than a traditional D1 wrestler, add strikes and it furthers the gap.

Very true. Even if Gaethje stops every single takedown for five rounds, Khabib still wins on aggression alone if Justin can't get off a lot of strikes.
I would not be shocked at all if Gaethje ended it early.

Son of Neckbone -Gaethje R2.
I can see it.
Everyone says that Gaethje wins is HOPING for a KO/TKO.
Other than that, he has no other way to win. I don't believe he will sub Khabib nor will he outwrestle him. So like Conor, he only has a punchers chance.
I honestly feel Khabib is going to rag doll him. And I am a big fan of both.
