If Conor blows his wad trying to KO Khabib early and it doesnt happen and he gases, he will get beat up wherever the fight goes and that includes on the feet.
Conor gassed against both Nate and Floyd, far better strikers than Khabib, and still had successes on the feet so I don't see that being likely.
Also, but winning by KO and winning the standup aren't necessarily the same thing. It's far more likely that Khabib lands a shot out of nowhere than that he actually pulls ahead and systematically gets the better of the standup.
