There has been a lot of rumours floating about involving Khabib and Mayweather having ether a boxing match or a UFC fight! This would be the fight of the century if this goes through, however Dana White has said ” the fight must be UFC”. All this happened when Khabib easily beat Conor McGregor at UFC 229, since then rumours where said Khabib wanted to fight Mayweather in a boxing match or UFC. Alongside this, Conor really wants to have a rematch with Khabib, seen as though he thinks he will beat Khabib if they go head to head again, let’s hope there’s not another incident if they do fight again! A lot of fight fans would love to see another battle between Conor and Khabib, however Khabib would rather move on. So, what would happen if Khabib ended up fighting Mayweather?
Currently we don’t know if this fight is going to happen, if it was to happen… who would win? Khabib has never lost in UFC, he is undefeated! He’s came out and said that he is ready for a boxing fight with Mayweather, but Conor also said this when Conor fought Mayweather… look what happened then! This has the potential to be a dream fight for everyone. When looking at Mayweather’s stats, it’s clear to see he is the real deal! so if Khabib was to fight Mayweather, he’ll have to do something special to beat him!
Who do you think would win?
This kind of fight is simply a money spinner for both fighters, of course people will watch the contest, if you could call it that, it’s a bit of fun on a Saturday night with a few beers. In a match with the Queensbury rules there could only be one winner, the same would have to be said for a contest that only utilised MMA rules.
Both camps are going to have to agree to a contest with rules that are suitable for both competitors. Kicks, I believe should be utilised, as should take downs . Hip throws,. shoulder throws and double leg take downs, these would make for an interesting contest, the fight may then last for a few rounds but should the MMA practitioner be allowed to utilise ground work , bjj and, or ground and pound the fight will be lucky to progress beyond the first minute of the first round. It’s just a spectacle, it’s not good for either sport and I don’t really believe that Dana should let it happen.
