The fight isn't certain but it looks a lot closer than ever before. Khabib looks like the typical unbeatable MMA fighter. A power wrestler who's too strong for his weight class. Connor has the kind of precision and power that can end any fight though, but his ground game is awful. I'd fancy my chances if I ever took him down. I know obviously anyone can beat anyone, within 100 fights Lawler would chin Woodley at one point but you'd never pick him to do it. Does anyone pick Connor to do a number on Khabib or is this gonna be the fight the legend finally ends? For my money I can't see it happening, I think Connor is much greater than Khabib, I think he's the best FW to ever hit the Octagon and if he wins this he's the goat for me, but I think the fight will make Khabib the best LW of all time (ATM that's Penn for me)
Just dont like his arrogance, want to see him brought down a peg or 2 , the guys ego is in overdrive, needs a good beating. Id be happy if he never fought again the guys a grub.
I'm putting it out there that conor sparks khabib right out Khabib is an unreal talent and im not one a them deluded conor fans but I think he does khabib by ko
He's not good enough on the floor to be regarded the GOAT, way to big a hole to be getting that title imo
Damn straight I'm serious. Holloway, Aldo, Khabib Not to mention Poirier, Alvarez, Mendez and Diaz. Across two divisions and all at the top of their game. Definitely the goat for me.
Of course he can. McGregor has the power accuracy to stop anyone at 145-155. I'd give him around a 30-40℅ chance. a lot forget that Johnson rattled Khabib early and if McGregor does the same it's probably over. Has to be inside the first 2 rounds through.
Is Conor a better striker then Barboza? Khabib by extremely satisfying mauling Not even t' luck o' t' Irish is stopping this rampaging Chechen
Imo 20 % chance Conor can unload in the first rd or so and stop Khabib. 80% chance Khabib mauls him and has his way with him before Conor quits and gives up his back or arm for a sub finish. Imo Lee, Ferguson have a far better chance against Khabib then Conor. As someone mentioned earlier I want Conor humbled and given a long mauling beating for many rounds before he is stopped.
He's too slow and muscle bound at 170... That said he still managed to hurt Diaz several times in a weight class that was 15 lbs higher than he ever competed at. At 155 his punches are quicker and snappier(Diaz is also less durable at the weight) He'd KO him there with ease if a 3rd fight were to ever take place. The Mayweather fight is an irrelevant farce that doesn't warrant discussion - in MMA at 145-155 McGregor is a big puncher.
Agreed. Conor can hurt Khabib and end matters if he lands with a big left hand in the opening two rounds, and can somehow avoid being taken by Khabib in that time. If it goes beyond the second round Conor will very likely gas out, end up getting swarmed by Khabib, taken down and battered by Khabib's Ground & Pound with Khabib leveraging his bodyweight on Conor as he does so.
