Khabib v Tony & Easy Opponents for Page

I read an article the other day about Michael "Venom" Page getting criticised for taking fights with easy opposition in his two most recent bouts inside the Bellator cage and asking if he deserved the latest dose of venom from his critics. The jist of it was his fight in Dublin was a tune up fight after a loss to keep him in the public eye as a big name marketable fighter, his opponent in London at the weekend was who they could get at short notice because bigger names are wary enough not to go against him without a full camp, it was either that or not have him on the card to the detriment of the card and that he shouldn't be criticised for taking the opposition given to him in that situation. He's essentially a gateway for Bellator to the British market that the UFC has deemphasised. Basically a "wait and see" before criticising Page article because he'll eventually come up against more worthy opposition and that's when we'll know how good he really is. It could be a good move by Bellator in order to get a stronghold in Europe in my humble opinion. I don't have a link but the article was on the bloody elbow website.
Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson are set to fight in April. Khabib has signed the contract. Some are saying that April is cursed because they were set to fight in April a couple of times before and it didn't happen. Well let's assume it will happen this time. It'll be the toughest opposition for both of them. I think it comes down to three things: 1) How well does Tony cope with Khabib's ever improving striking, 2) How does Khabib deal with Tony's forward pressure and pace and 3) What can Tony do about Khabib's body positioning, weight distribution and body locking & ground n' pound when it eventually goes to the floor. I'm on the fence. Last year I was saying Tony before Khabib fought Al Iaquinta and Conor McGregor. But he has since fought Dustin Poirier as well and was composed when in a choke against Dustin. Tony, though, has destroyed the faces of all his most recent opposition. They look like casualties of war in the photos. But you never see Khabib bleeding after a fight. Is it the unstoppable force against the immovable object? It's tough to call but so intriguing.
