How do you guys see a fight between Gaethje and Khabib going, and do you think Gaethje has a better chance than Tony? I certainly do.

Gaethje vs Khabib is not an easy match to make because they are managed by the same guy/management team.


What I meant is that he often pushes forward, leaing toward the opponent during the striking exchanges. Tony is known for his D'Arce choke set up from clinch ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mJ8gTMbSqk ) and that's what makes Gaethje's behaviour potentially dangerous.
