Khabib just fought a guy known for not having high level grappling. He was less than 50% on his takedown attempts, and his striking is still below par. Tony will maul him, and there's a lengthy list whom I don't like his chances against.
He goes for a high number of takedowns in order to get his opponents to work and gas from his pace. Just to clarify since you looked up the stat, but didn't do the research. The last time Khabib hit more than 50% of his tds was against Darrell Horcher in 2016. The more interesting stat though is the takedown defense stats of Khabib's opponents since then:

Michael Johnson 67% takedown defense
Edson Barboza 70% takedown defense
Al Iaquinta 60% takedown defense
Conor McGregor 58% takedown defense

All of those guys are vastly better strikers than Khabib. The value of your takedowns goes up when people have to worry about getting hit. It's the same reason Khabib was able to crack Conor, and you posted a picture of Nate against Rory. You Khabib fans are almost as adorable as Conor's.

Case in point. It reminds me of when Conor KO'ed Aldo in 13 seconds and still managed to eat a shot that left a mouse under his eye. Did his fans bother to recognize that he might not be as quick as he thinks he is? Nah."13 seconds, bro".

How does Khabib beat either of them? They're both vastly better strikers, and they're both extremely active off of their backs. They're as much of a nightmare matchup for Khabib as Khabib was for Conor.
Have you ever seen Nate Diaz fight anyone besides McGregor? Khabib would ragdoll him.

If you guys are putting your hope into Danis being the next big thing out of Ireland, you're gonna be even more let down than after the Gallagher fight.
