Assuming they are the same size as Khabib, which fighter gives Khabib the most trouble?

He'd just get smeshed, a more accomplished Davi Ramos couldn't do squat to Islam on the ground.
With 2 mins left in the round and already hurt

Why didn't Islam shoot a single takedown the entire fight?

And Aldo's wrestling defense is the best in MMA history

Well if you say he's that great perhaps he should have took Max to the ground and subbed him instead of losing twice. Aldo also opted to go down a weight class instead of up which says a lot.
 
Demetrious, Aldo, Penn, GSP, Jones, and Fedor all present very interesting technical and/or strategic challenges in a hypothetical P4P matchup. Khabib’s actual takedown proficiency is also somewhat overrated - he missed close to 60% of his attempts in the UFC - so a lethal counterstriker such as Anderson would be interesting as well, given Khabib’s propensity to press forward.
 
I'd like to see Maia v Khabib in this fantasy land. Maia did fight Askren, which was a grappler's dream.
 
If Mighty Mouse was the same size as Ngannou; how would that play out?
 
Prime Machida, they could fight in ww. Both are natural ww's imo
 
Whittaker.

He managed to out scramble a world champion in BJJ twice in that fight. He was also able to defend TD attempts from Romero, an Olympic silver medalist, while he was badly rocked.
 
Liddell never spent more than 5 seconds on the the ground in his prime. Plus he also had a granite chin (in prime) until Rampage cracked it. I see him knocking Khabib out if they fought @ te same weight/ in their primes.
