| man, i'll say Pettis but i think some of his weaknesses are obviously things Khabib can exploit. Healy is pretty good off his back, maybe not Pettis good but he couldnt do anything tonight.
Khabib seems like the full package but at the same time seems unpolished. It's weird. He's definitly the real deal though and still has a lot of room for imrpovement. I can very much see him wearing the gold. | |

| He is good but I think Gil will end up kicking some ass here soon to get the gold. And I hate Gil. Also don't count JT out against Pettis. Such a stacked divison. | |

Khabib seems like the full package but at the same time seems unpolished. It's weird. He's definitly the real deal though and still has a lot of room for imrpovement. I can very much see him wearing the gold. I tend to agree. There is just something off about the way Khabib fights. His defense just seems lacking. The way he lunges in and over commits with his punches probably will get him in trouble with an elite striker like Pettis. But on the other hand Khabib's wrestling and amazing top control could give Pettis nightmares, considering that is his krptonite. | |

| I've been a Khabib fan from the first time I saw him fight a few years ago and I've always felt he'll be the UFC 155 champ 1 day. He shouldn't be rushed though. He deserves a top 10 guy next but maybe not a top 5 guy. |

| Khabib vs Grant or RDA are two fights that makes sense. Would both be great fights. | |

| Khabib vs Grant will hopefully be the next fight. That will be great. Pettis would put it right on this guy's chin | |

| Would it surprise anyone if Pettis couldn't counter Khabib's wrestling as some point and for the rest of most rounds? It would surprise me as much as Pettis head kick KOing Khabib. | |
