Khabib is better than Islam to me. He has a different pressure and fight mentality. Plus ground and pound. If he could ground and control Volk he most likely can break Volk but that's an if since Islam couldn't really control Volk minus the body triangle. Volk would definitely test Khabib's conditioning and Khabib is known for taking rounds off to recover.
I think Islam is a better Striker, but Khabib is a better grappler. Khabib is more relentless with his takedown attempts. Islam didn't commit as much to his takedowns in his fight with Volk. I would pick Khabib
