yo marvel, give us ur take on the khabib vs ben askren matchup
both unbeatable, world class grapplers and both have baby faces
Very hard for me to call, need to see askren vs a couple more top guys outside of Lima/Aoki first. Khabib has been a lot more tested than Askren, but it doesn't mean askren isn't as good
I'd like to say khabib, but then again askren has world class grappling and he is a little bigger... he'd never make 155 so it'd have to be at catchweight or 170. I can't call it till i see Askren vs a couple more top guys I think.
Totally agree with everything rick said, as good a reponse as can be given at this point. Askren needs to prove himself against a higher level to see if hes as good as the hype.
On another note I think we might see changes in weight classes as in there will be a 165 division and 170 will change to 175
Yea true i agree with both
It’s hard to say as neither man has ever been challenged much in their careers.
But for the size i think they r abt the same, i even think khabib is bigger.(i heard khabib walks at 190)
Let’s hope both keep their winning streaks and ragdoll next opponents its very intresting match to see
Really it needs to be ferguson next, i fear we are doomed to never see them fight lol. Personally it will annoy me if they try to do anything else.
There was also talk of mayweather though no chance that happens, he has even less of a chance against mayweather than conor who had no chance. I dont think it has any appeal at all.
Regarding a gsp fight i can only see that happening down the line depending how things pan out with the nevada commision because until then its all talk and rumours. But if say that goes well we really need to see how goes against ferguson and maybe the winner of conor v nate 3 which i think should be next also. I also dont think he can beat gsp who really should be aiming for a fight against woodley and i think woodley is a much harder opponent for gsp (i would actually favour woodley slightly). There has also been rumours that they want to see gsp fight at 155 first before they would give him a title fight at 155, there has even been rumours hes been test cutting and that stems back to before conor and khabib fought
GSP is only intrested in legacy fight so that exclude him fighting at 155 for a title shot.
The next match for khabib that makes sense from all rumours is GSP at 165.
But im pretty sure ferguson fight is gonna happen bcs khabib still wants it
there's a 69% chance we r gonna see both fights
What abt u army how do think that match up would go

What a fight that would be! Not sure Khabib can beat the GOAT though, depends at what weight they fight.
