Arman Tsarukyan: McGregor couldn't have beaten Khabib even in his prime

Arman Tsarukyan believes that Conor McGregor would not have been able to defeat Khabib Nurmagomedov even if both fighters had met at their absolute peaks. Tsarukyan explained that styles make fights, and Khabib's elite wrestling was simply an insurmountable obstacle for McGregor. He acknowledged that Khabib is genuinely exceptional in grappling but noted that his striking is not at the same elite level. When asked if the outcome would have been different had they fought when both were in their primes, Tsarukyan remained firm that nothing would have changed. He suggested that while McGregor might have provided more competitive moments, the fundamental stylistic mismatch would have remained.
