Ben Askren also uses boring wrestling +gnp style, but had lost by a knee to the chin . Khabibs boring style can be countered by that.
It was a well timed knee by Masvidal and anyone could loose in a fight, Khabib showed his skills and everyone knows what he is trying to do as it is not a secret and yet no one is able to stop him till now, if someone is able to have any offense that could be Tony Ferguson in my opinion as he also has a good ground game and could submit people from the bottom.
