He was always quite good, but he somehow went up another few levels since he came back from that long layoff - this Horcher - Johnson - Barboza "streak". Also seems like he is STILL GETTING BETTER.

I mean, he came back with a new approach and has been murdering these guys with it. I've been trying to emulate some of his looks in class. Specifically with takedowns, attacking in half- and quarter- guard, and with passing from standing. IMO, he's the best grappler in MMA. Even better than Maia.

I think he beats Tony pretty easily. Tony's best chance is the Darce, imo. I don't see him KOing/TKOing Khabib. The triangle won't be there for him because Khabib is going to stay on the feet until he is "safely" in Tony's half-guard, which is one place Khabib loves to attack from.

That said, Tony stands a better chance than Conor...
