Only time Conor has been taken down really (in the ufc) was against Mendes and that was off a sloppy kick. He has better take down defense than people think. Granted Khbib is nasty with it, but if Conor stays circling and plays that run away from the fence game he did with Nate in the second fight he can stay away from him for I'd say a round and a half LOL. That could piss the eagle off and make him take a sloppy chance and shoot from way too far. It's a really hard fight to call because of how shitty Khabib's hands are. Also I don't like the Barbosa comparison because he's notoriously (no pun) known for not being able to fight going backwards (see the Ferguson fight and the michael johnson fight). That's not the case with Conor.
