I think the intimidation factor or invincible aura are key to him being dominant in a lot of fights. The whole bear wrestling thing scares a lot of his opponents. I'm not going to say that Khabib doesn't have technical skills, but I honestly think that his brute strength and power are what sets him apart from other lightweights. Khabib also has trouble staying healthy and active. I don't see him defending the title any time soon. I can't even view Khabib as a champ. He beat the 11th ranked fighter, and becomes the default champ. This would be like letting Colby Covington fight Yancy Medieros for the title, if wonderboy got injured, stripping Tyron of the title. Connor brings more excitement (and petty bullshit), without fighting, than Tyron did in his title defenses.
