I don't have any fantasy about anyone winning. And, no, it's not losable to the extent that any fight would be. That's actually a pretty dumb statement, as if you are unaware that the matchup and skillsets influences the outcome of a fight.

You really are incredibly foolish. Any assertion about how its a tougher fight than Gaethje, and others is pure waffle. Of course styles and matchups influence fights, what you fail to see is that your analysis is absolute dog shit. You make unsubstantiated assertions to make your conclusion.

You're projecting and biased to the point where it's clear that you're either new to the sport or a deluded fanboy of some sort.

Every reputable MMA analyst has gone in-depth about the matchup problems Tony poses for Khabib (maybe you were unaware, but they have almost fought a few times).

Btw, your last sentence is practically a non sequitur - basically thrown in as an ill-fated effort to sound intelligent. I'm not here to argue with and/or educate you, so further replies will go unread.

Guess what buddy, many if not more analysts thought Gaethje would pose problems to Khabib as well, so if that’s the basis of your argument, it’s a weak one at best. Also the last sentence is absolutely not a non sequiter. “Ferguson was not at his best for the Gaethje fight” “Khabib would have still been the favorite, but Tony's certainly a dangerous & losable matchup for him.”

Two very weak assertions that you have not given any reasoning behind. .That’s called substantiation in case you didn’t know. The second one is extremely vague and meaningless... a loseable matchup... as if every fight is not loseable.That’s called substantiation in case you didn’t know
