Am I missing something? Since when everyone thinks this guy is so good? I thought that he was this huge prospect who came to the UFC, and let down everyobdy. His fights are boring, his stand-up technique is horrible, the only thing he has going for him is that judo, and maybe some power. He could beat Tavares thou, that guy has never impressed me.

Tavares has become a safety first fighter ever since Roller knocked him to oblivion.

Plenty of people are hyping Khabib up, he hasn't shown me anything that really makes me believe he's all that but I don't think Thiago is that great either.

I still dont know what to make of Khabib. Tibau seemed to forget to fight in their match up, so that didnt really tell me a whole ton. I feel like Tavares is a less talented, smaller version of Tibau, so this fight will probably go Khabib's way. I would like to see him fight someone equally agressive, maybe give him Diego Sanchez if he gets by Gomi.

people underrate his win over gleison who is a very good fighter and god damn hard to keep down or takedown, I can see khabib getting pretty far but I would like him to tighten up his hands a bit and use a few more straight punches but those uppercuts are terrific
