Tony is a BJJ black belt under Eddie Bravo who's one of the most respected BJJ players in the world.When he's getting physically dominated and smothered by Khabib, yes he's not going to have a choice but to take his beating like everyone else. Khabib is absolutely relentless from top position and like so many other fighters who get on top and he doesn't just lay on someone. The way Ferguson is relentless and smothers fighters in the stand up game is exactly what Khabib does to people when he takes them down.
When Khabib finally gets beat it's going to be by someone with great take down defense who can keep the fight standing and out strike him. Ferguson is a great fighter but he isn't the guy to dethrone Khabib.
Everyone else who Khabib has fought has just tried to get to their feet. Eddie Bravo has already said in interviews that Tony would be comfortable on the ground with Khabib and try to be offensive instead of just standing up. It very well might not work, but it's something that we haven't seen from Khabib thus far.
