Khabib wants non of Tony, Fucking Conor managed to stop some shots and get Khabib tired. Khabib and Javier Mendez both know that Tony is a wizard standing up, cutting dudes like barboza up on the feet and if taken down by a powerful grappler ie Kevin Lee, El Cucuy will cut you up on the ground and can choke you out.
By jumping the cage Khabib knows that the next fight the fans will be talking about is Khabib vs Conor and not Tony vs Khabib that is why he did it. He jumped the cage so that he can avoid the toughest dude in the division: Tony Ferguson.
