Nuragomedov is going up quick in the ranks I think he was a little ****y in his last fight considering he didn't make weight, granted I didn't expect Healy to beat Jim Miller either that cost me a few bucks. I am gonna say Nurmagomedov by decision.

Currently saying Nurmagomedov via decision. But I may change it. This is an awesome fight.

Insane that a guy like Todd walks around more ripped than Lightweights, wow.

This fight will be a good fight. Pat Healy is one of harder guys in MMA. It isn't easy for Khabib to take on ground to Healy. If Healy get a takedown, his ground a pound is dangerous for Khabib,

Nurmagomedov fights are always full of anticipation for me. I think he is really a beast.

I thought Nurmagomedov lost to Tibau, though it was a close and incredibly boring fight. Nurmagomedov better make weight this time otherwise Uncle Dana will be pissed and he hates fighters that don't make weight. Guessing Healy based on experience, but would not be surprised at pretty much outcome in this fight.

Prediction: correct Nurmagomedov   correct Decision  

I didn't see the Tibau/Nurmy fight nearly as close as a lot of ppl. I had it 30-27 Nurm. Tibau did close to nothing besides hold him against the fence and get out-boxed throughout the match. But idk.

I think that's the classic case of a fight to watch on mute, because Rogan was balls deep on Tibau the whole time. He was going on and on about how Nurmagomedov couldn't hurt Tibau, but said nothing about what Tibau was doing to Numagomedov, which was a whole lotta nothing.

@skelliher Hmm...Maybe it's just been too long since I watched the fight, but I didn't think either one of them really did anything throughout the fight except Tibau put him up against the cage. Maybe I should go back and watch that fight again.

Prediction: correct Nurmagomedov   correct Decision  

from what i remember neither were impressive in that fight. Khabib failed a bunch of TD's but was more aggressive and had Tibau pinned on the fence most of the fight i think . It was a classic do you score aggression or defense match and the judges scored for aggression. What I took from that fight is how good Tibaus TDD is . A sambo champion that has been tossing around his other opponents couldnt take him down.

Prediction: wrong Healy   wrong Decision  

According to Fightmetric:

Khabib- 
Sig Strikes: 25/101
Tot. Strikes: 33/112
TDs: 0/13

Tibau-
Sig Strikes: 28/87
Tot. Strikes: 46/110
TDs: 1/6

Obviously, these stats don't tell the whole story, but they help form context.

I could definitely see Healy giving Nurmagomedov his first loss. Healy's been great lately and you know he'll want to make everyone forget about the overturned victory he had against Miller.

Now we already have seen all the types of suplexes Nurmagomedov can do, so now I would actually like to see him be more diverse in his game. I actually think he is boring to watch besides his perfectly executed suplexes. I hope Healy can punch some reality in his face, and see what he's going to do with such an experienced and smart fighter as Healy is.

i don't think Khabib has to be exciting to you being the fact he is a 2x sambo world champion, European Pankration Champion,  Grappling world champion , judo black belt and he is 20-0.  with 14 finishes.
