After reading this I watched the Khabib fight again. Gaethje was doing everything he could to keep Khabib away from him. I wonder if the fight would have gone differently if he embraced his dirty boxing a bit more.
I doubt it tbh, Khabib was always gonna be a tough matchup for Gaethje with his almost non-stop forward pressure, chain wrestling, and granite chin. Also Gaethje refuses to grapple, so as we saw when he got taken down he was largely useless
