Who wins Twood VS Khabib Superfight

[Mason]

TWood via TDD and KO power

 

[Portland8242]

Bad match up for Khabib but there is the big unknown factor in this fight, which is Khabib power and endurance at welterweight.
Woodley should win on paper but I wouldn't be surprised if Khabib has monster grappling power at WW.

A reduced weight cut for Khabib means he would have better cardio, more strength and a better chin. Even with the improvements Khabib would have, it still wouldn't be enough for Woodley. I honestly think Khabib matches up very good with the rest of the top-5 at WW, but Woodley is hands down his worst stylistic matchup.

I think Khabib has a lot better chance than what some people are giving him... T-wood is deffo the favourite in this fight but I feel Khabib has a dam good chance. We all know Dc and him are real life homies so I take a lot of what DC says with a pinch of salt but he does say that Khabib mauls middleweights and above.
Either way the grappling would be very interesting... if he ain't be ko by then lol

T-Wood via MurderTrain.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

I'd go with Woodley in that one. IF Khabib ever did go up to WW, then in my opinion his hardest fights would be Woodley and Usman, because those 2 guys are top class wrestlers and very very physically strong. Others guy in WW I feel Khabib could beat

 

[MusterX]

I have no doubt that khabib is stronger than twood regardless of weight and physique.

You can't just disregard "weight and physique."

This is Khabib vs. Tyron comparison. Not a chance Khabib is stronger than Tyron who is ripped and a weight class up.

 

[MusterX]

Super fight is a term used too liberally imo.

Agree 100%. GSP/Penn was a real super fight, it was the 155 GOAT vs. the 170 GOAT. Most of the other shit the UFC bills as a super fight is bullshit.

I will admit he's had multiple occasions where he's missed weight or has had severe enough issues with the cut he was forced to withdraw.
But weight cutting is an issue that Khabib and his team have to deal with.

I'll just repeat my point again though, Khabib is just not big for LW. Just use your eyes. He is average for LW, and if he moved up to WW he would be small compared to the others. Simple.

I also greatly doubt he walks around at more than 190 pounds, just from looking at him while he's training. nate diaz who's 6'2 walks around at 200. khabib is 5'10 and he looks just as lean as nate.

I think there are a few more but this should suffice
Khabib has been consistently touted to be 190-200 pounds walking around
With 185 being his lowest touted weight
The eye test isn’t always a good measure for weight
DJ looks way smaller than cejudo but actually weighed more in there fight

One guy kills himself to make 155 to gain a significant size and strength advantage.

The other guy is Woodley who would destroy khabib if he ever had the balls to fight at his natural weight

I don't know about that, Welter has a completely different landscape than LW. You definitely have Tyron and Usman but Colby murked Demian Maia and that's another guy, going to the ground with Maia is suicide. Then you have other guys like 6'0" striking specialist Wonderboy who is EXCEPTIONALLY good at not being taken down. Welterweight would be tough for Khabib compared to being god at 155 because nobody can fend off your wrestling.

 

[thobra]

the guy that almost kills himself to make lw will lose to a proven WW with multiple defences.

 

[PeleProtege]

T Wood by explosive, athletic beast...

 

[JinKazama]

man this would be a great fight

bro do you even look at the 'sources' you post? the one link where it said he admits to weighing 242 doesn't even work and the others say he walks around at 185-195

that is not that big for LW. im sure if you looked up other LW fighters' walk-around weights you will see similar numbers to Khabib's.

 

[reigning terroe]

Ya when Conor was in super fights he had tons of title defenses......

Khabib has a title defense lol

 

[LockardTheGOAT]

Woodley, probably. There's a reason Khabib puts his body through hell cutting to Lightweight - It's to avoid alpha males like T-Wood.

 

[bigwaverider]

Khabib is no BJ Penn. He can't move up and even beat someone who is probably the 3rd or 4th WW GOAT . Penn moved up and beat the GOAT of the time in Hughes.

That’s what I’m saying
His walk around weight is anywhere from 190-200 pounds
I have more sources but that should do
That’s pretty big for lightweight and average for welterweight
Ferguson is 200 pounds which is huge for lightweight
I’m just saying a average lightweight is 170-180
A big one is 185-200 pounds
Khabib is a big lightweight with guys like lee, Tony, Diaz ,tibau etc
Based off of consistent reports he is around 190 at the lowest and 205 at his highest

 

[fightfan70]

in that same article he literally says himself 'i dont think im cutting too much weight' and that the issue he had had nothing to do with cutting weight. straight from the horses mouth right? lmao dumbass

regardless though, it doesn't prove my point wrong. any fighter can have a bad/dangerous weight cut, that doesn't mean they don't belong in their division.
'khabib is too big for LW' is a desperate excuse people try to use to explain his dominance. his size is actually pretty average for LW

it's odd that nobody was talking about how big he was for LW before he became champ, very odd lol

its just odd you haven't noticed.

remember tiramisu

 

[fightfan70]

it would look like the tibau fight except with striking
