Conor only gassed 1 time in mma at welterweight where he looked chubby he looked awesome against Eddie also 2 week notice bullshit again lol chad was on fucking steroids and he stated that he trained everyday anyway, chad wrestling>khabibConor has never fought a wrestler/grappler of Khabib's ability. Closest was Chad Mendes at 145 on 2 weeks notice. Really need to understand that Conor has no gas tank. He gets the early KO or he gets absolutely mauled or taps out quickly like he did against Nate (i.e. quit quickly before getting hurt). I put this fight at 85% - 15% Khabib.
If you have fight IQ, experience and have any clue how to analyse fights, no.
probably not.
That is a tough fight for both guys.
Anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand MMA very well.
That's the reality.
Conor is just different.Edson gas crazy TDD and strength. Eddie and Frankie have acknowledged that almost nobody (themselves included) can take him down. Khabib had issues with the strength of Edson but near effortlessly got into position and maintained control.
As for Tibau, that was nearly 6 years ago, while Tibau was in his prime, juiced, much bigger, and before Khabib started training at AKA (he did not spar at all before joining AKA). The fight is completely irrelevant
I just haven't seen Conor display high level TDD in the clinch. I'm sure he'll do well but I think Khabib's chances of winning are better. 60-40 khabib is fair I think
I don't know, mang. Khabib's head is like two of Eddie's, and if Khabib can get to the clinch like chicken dancing Eddie did, then the whole complexion of the fight changes. Conor would need to turn his lights off early, as Khabib's grappling and clinch will sap Conor's energy and power.
It is the fight of the century IMO, but Khabib is justly the favorite and offers a whole host of issues that Conor is ill equipped to over come. If Conor could not KO Nate, Khabib, who has never been rocked or dropped, is gong to give you problems.
He gassed in both Diaz fights.Conor only gassed 1 time in mma at welterweight where he looked chubby he looked awesome against Eddie also 2 week notice bullshit again lol chad was on fucking steroids and he stated that he trained everyday anyway, chad wrestling>khabib
Lmao people still say khabib was hurt in the MJ fight? People on this forum believe Rogan to muchMJ had Khabib hurt. Khabib recovered very well though and can mostly likely ragdoll 90% of the division even when severely hurt. Conor can definitely sleep Khabib. I believe that’s the only way he can win tho.
both diaz fights were at welterweight also he gassed after clipping diaz a lot of times khabib won't take that punishment and khabib doesn't have diaz boxing, also yes chad>khabibHe gassed in both Diaz fights.
Lmao at Chad wrestling > khabib
contrary to popular keyboard warrior / sherdog belief
upon greater scrutiny, that fight Is a pickem at best.
I could go In depth about this as I have In other posts. But I'm about to hit the club In like 5 mins, so I leave you with this.
I will say,
Sherdog..you don't know shit.
I think Khabib /Conor Is a 50/50 fight at best..but, I truly hope Conor just straight up knocks him out in september.
The sherdog Implosion would be glorious. There are so many people on this forum who would have to answer for their irrationality. It would be a powerful moment In sherdog history so I truly hope for that to happen.
That is all.
have a good night fam.
Edit:
on the real, this sort of Implosion has happened on sherdog before.; Conor beating Khabib and proving himself though would probably be the most powerful one we have seen in MMA history. I hope to see It because with all my soul and heart, I truly enjoy the basic bitches of the MMA fanbase being proven wrong and exposed for their lack of fight IQ.
Nothing makes me happier when It comes to MMA than to see simple / narrow minded fans be exposed and have to answer / make excuses for their lack of knowledge.
Let the games begin.
Bump this post when Conor defends. This will be one for the ages.

Conor won't be given that opportunity though, Conor won't be able to keep it on the feet that long.Rogan is wrong more often than right. I’ve watched it numerous times and it still looks like he rubber legged. Perhaps he just has piss poor footwork. Either being true, Conor sleeps him given that opportunity 98 times out of 100...and I cannot stand Conwhore.
Conor is just different.

Conor legit has 30 seconds to ko him or he's done.

Have you seen how far khabib can get the takedown from?Idk dude. I hope I’m wrong. I don’t like Khabibs set ups in this match up. As much as I can’t stand Conor he’s very precise in his striking even moving backwards. I’m sure he’s working different approaches after seeing the failures Of Alvarez and Aldo. I agree, Conor is proper fucked the second Khabib ties him up it’s just closing the distance is the point in which Khabib is in the most danger.

He knows with how bad conor gas tank is once he gets him down and keeps him there for 5 minutes Conor is finished.
Conor gassed 3 rounds into a fucking boxing match ffs. He has zero Cardio
Conor is just different.
