If Khabib can not get a takedown early on in the first or second round, then he will be in trouble.
This is going to be a long night for Khabib if it is on the feet. Ferguson has a six-inch reach advantage on the feet, and on top of that, he is an expert at using distance. People are overlooking him and looking forward to a possible Khabib vs. If there is going to be someone to beat Khabib, then Ferguson could be the one. He also uses leg locks and heel hooks off of the bottom. Ferguson has shown us excellent takedown defense with sprawls and even rolling out of scrambling situations. He can use distance on the feet and keep his distance while picking people apart as he did against former champion Raphel Dos Antos. Tony Ferguson has one of the most unorthodox styles on the feet and the ground. In his last fight, he did show some weakness on the feet when he got rocked against Michael Johnson, but he went on to win that fight in a devastating manner. On the feet, Khabib is not afraid to use his hands to cover the distance to get in takedown range. Most people are used to sprawling against wrestling style takedowns, but he can switch to sambo, judo and other styles of takedowns in a flow that most people can not train for. Khabib mixes different styles of takedowns from various martial arts which is what makes it difficult for people to deal with. There has not been anyone that can stop his takedowns. He is known for taking people down, holding them there and beating them up. Khabib is undefeated and has dominated his opponents. This is going to be one of the most legendary fights in UFC history. Woodley’s politics of sometimes bringing in the question of how he is treated as a champion by the fans compared to other champions that are white has made him more unpopular, and Thompson’s spectacular spinning kicks has made him a fan favorite, and the betting line reflects that.
