Nelson was #12 at the time and Cowboy was #11. RDA was #4 so that's pretty impressive but Leon was #12 at the time so that puts him near the top, but he should still need a W over a top 5 guy to fight for the belt.
I think it is going to be similar to the Dustin fight in the sense that i know Justin believes that he can stop the takedown/get up, but i just don't think there is a 155er that can match Khabib's athleticism and speed. Thats before even talking about how strong he is.
Dustin came in prepared, and after either round one or two he went back to his corner in utter disbelief. I remember him saying something like "i can't get this fucking guy off of me".
I think Justin is going to have the same issues. He may catch him coming in once, but i don't think he can put Khabib down with one shot, and the minute Khabib gets his hands on him its going to be death.
Yeah, plus he was losing the fight, with everything that was on the line there and in the last seconds. That’s probably my #1
as far as my initial holy shit reaction, its probably masvidal v askren. All the shit talking in the lead up, i just could not believe it went the way of fastest KO. That was so dope.
This one is fire af though. Not trying to take away from that.
