Khabib Nurmagomedov, SUB, R1
Khabib has multiple takedowns stuffed but eventually gets one off a leg kick. Justin’s BJJ is not good enough to keep Khabib off his back. Khabib takes the back and submit Justin with a RNC in the first round.

Justin Gaethje, TKO, R1
Either can win but a 1st round sub against a good wrestler only if its justin and drops khabib first. Khabib is a blanket fighter a wet blanket at that he doesnt blitz anything.

Khabib Nurmagomedov, SUB, R4
A solid fight but sadly I predict it will be the same as the Dustin Poirier fight. I just don’t see what Justin has to offer that we haven’t seen before. Khabib has fought incredible kickboxers like Conor, he’s fought good/great boxers like Iaquinta, Poirier, Johnson, and more and it has been a mauling. I honestly think Tony Ferguson has the best chance against Khabib and yes I know Gaethje beat up Ferguson but styles make fights and that fight was on the feet and Khabib doesn’t tend to hang on the feet long at all. I predict Justin may give Khabib a tough fight early with his now vastly improved striking style, and he may hurt Khabib on the feet, but I think Khabib is able to eventually get the takedown, grind out Justin, take his back, and choke him out and then retire in front of an empty crowd. I prefer this over the Dustin Poirier fight, but I think it will play out similarly. I can’t even begin to think about how the fight is so even on Tapology. Hopefully that changes when this gets confirmed. I hope Gaethje wins, but Khabib just seems like too much right now.

Khabib Nurmagomedov, SUB, R4
Don't forget, they all look good until they face Khabib. It just all changes! Russian Dagestani wrestling is suffocating, those guys are a different breed! Justin is a great fighter and a threat to everyone, except Khabib! I'm nice enough to predict a 4th round submission win for Khabib, but I wouldn't be surprised by a 2 or 3rd round submission.
