Never happens. Conor knows better. If it did happen, it would end with Conor being a shell of his former self, like Rousey after Holm. Conor would take a terribly brutal beating. His only chance would be to get a knock in the first minute or two. If that fails, its very, very ugly the rest of the way.
I'm glad you brought this up because Khabib is the male version of Ronda. Both great grapplers with bad striking. Both incredibly over hyped etc
Look at the way Holm beat Ronda, and you will see another shocking similarity. Via southpaw. Footwork. Counter punching etc. Conor will be the Holm to Khabib Rousey. In fact Conor wrecks Khabib far worse then Holm did Ronda Nurgomemadov

Come on guys, you both are exaggerating a Little bit. "Pillow Hands Nate" what, Conor's chin is questionable, he's physically weak... come on. Conor is one of the Best Counterstrickers if not the best with alot of power in his Hands.
You are right, after the second it will be difficult for him, less power, less precision, but Standing up even then is King Kebab no match for him.
and on the other side, you can not compare King Kebab to Ronda, come on. The Dagistani fought all his life under MMA rules, he is no Judo, BJJ fighter or wrestler. He knows very good what a Punch is and what professional standup Looks like, he fought alot of good standup guys to know better then ronda.
Only way for King Kebab to lose is understimating McGOAT's stricking and overestimating his. Then ist lights out for him.
Both guys should stick to their games and try anything possible to stay so. Conor Standing up, Kahbib on the ground. The first doing a mistake will lose.

Colin taps when mounted even before being struck, Bob Sapp style. Confusion ensues because company man ref Herb doesn't call for the end, camera pans and he is at the door with his back to the action, restraining White who is trying to get in the cage with a Steel folding Chair.
No commentary is going on because Joe Roidgaine has left his post to back White at cage door. Both are in tears of course at the prospect of what was about to happen to the boy Colin.
Khabib demounts Colin to see what is going on, and gets dropped by and illegal strike to the back of the head, and all of a sudden Herb becomes alert and quickly stops the fight, even though Khabib is nearly back to, and Colin is starting to back up. Colin, Roidgaine, White and the Sbg clowns all embrace.
Then we are subjected to weeks of jre's and shill podcasts hosted by these UFC employees, saying that "well there was controversy, but Khabib failed to be mindful of his surroundings and protect himself at all times, and get regaled with tales of Colins IQ and situational awareness." MMA media shills out the narrative.
The queer nancy boy nut huggers all promptly agree and second the argument, and then claim Colin needs not fight Khabib again because his smarts show he would "beat him again".
MMA goes on like the titanic.

Yeah like that guy Napoleon..... And that other guy Genghis.........but to be truthful, history has them playing out as little guys but with Napoleon coming in at 5,7" and Genghis being 5,8" they would have been way above average for their time...
I think Genghis takes it in a fight there's more chance of those 2 fighting than Connor fighting Khabib.
Is that why Conor dominated round 3 vs Holloway, and dominated round 4 vs Nate?
Is that why Conor is UNDEFEATED in decisions, and holds decisive decision wins over the 2 of the most conditioned fighters in all of MMA (Max and Nate)
Meanwhile Khabib gassed against a real estate agent in round 4, and nearly lost that round.
It's absolutely batshit insane that you have people saying Khabib would have a cardio advantage over Conor.
You even have Dan Hardy spewing that non sense. (Dan Hardy is a Conor hater who's picked against Conor in all his fights)
As if Khabib didn't gas out against #11 real estate agent Iaquinta
As if Khabib wouldn't get tired trying to take or hold Conor down
They both have only gone 5 rounds once
Except Conor did It against a cardio freak in Nate (who was also much larger) and dominated round 4 of the fight
Khabib gassed and looked like shit in the late rounds against a real estate agent
Btw, ps
It doesn't matter if Khabib "chooses to fight Conor more cautiously"
You had idiot Rogan making excuses for Khabib "bu but he won't fight Conor the same way he did Iquianta" No shit. That has NO relevance. When Khabib gasses out against Conor, Conor will finish a gassed Khabib. Plus it really doesn't matter what Khabib "chooses" to do. Conor is a brilliant technician who has dozens of set ups for just one tactic alone. Conor draws opponents out, manipulates, and makes opponents do what he wants when he wants. Conor is the ultimate puppet master. Take it from Alvarez himself. Go read Alvarez' s post fight comments about that Conor fight. It's scary and is an eye opener to just how next level Conor is. It never matters what the opponent wants or does. It only matters what Conor is doing to shut his opponent out or score. If you want technical analysis breakdowns of how Conor is able to accomplish this and with what tactics/methods, then ask, and I can dive deeper into the details for you

The more you type the more you sound like that typical shertard Conor hater who doesnt understand fighting.
1. Nate caught a staph riddled Conor on short notice. Conor literally gassed himself out from beating the shit out of Nate. That result had much more to do with exhaustion then Conor actually being "rocked"
Look at what happened in the rematch when Conor actually had a full camp for Nate and took Nate serious. Conor defensively shut Nate out and never allowed Nate to land like that again.
Let's not also ignore that Nate still is a massive 200lb+ fighter who has decent punching pop. Conor is a career FW. But regardless like I already said, just look at the rematch. Again, Conor took Nate seriously that time and never allowed Nate to even come close to landing like that again
2. IF Conor was rocked by Nate, then Khabib waa rocked by Michael Johnson.
Put it this way, Khabib has shown far many more vulnerabilities on the feet, then Conor has supposedly shown in his grappling/wrestling. Conor CAN survive in Khabib's world. Khabib doesnt survive in Conor's world
3. Strength and power mean little to nothing. Take it from Conor himself, "precision beats power" etc
It's always the shots you don't see coming that get you.
Conor is a master of deception and or misdirection to land the shot you never see coming. Khabib has never fought anyone a fraction as skilled as Conor. Nor has Khabib ever eaten a clean counter punch from Conor.
The only fighters in UFC history to walk through Conor's counters is Max Holloway and Nate Diaz. Khabib sure as hell doesnt have the cardio of either, and from what it seems, Khabib doesn't have the chin of either, either
Aldo had never been KOd before. Then he fought Conor. Khabib is a human being

If Conor is physically weak, then I wonder what Holloway is, since Conor completely rag dolled Holloway and had his way with him on the ground
Also,
"Bu bu but piss poor TDD" lmao
And that was Conor on one knee fighting on short notice, still stuffing the takedowns of Mendes
Khabib IS a PHENOM grappler, but Khabib sure as fuck doesn't have the athletic explosive double legs of Mendes.
Mendes was one insanely athletic little JACKED mother fucker. P4P Mendes was probably more athletic then Lesnar.
If you think Khabib will be able to replicate the takedowns Mendes caught Conor with, you are in for a rude awakening "styles make fights"
Simply put, Conor has phenomenal takedown defense which is further aided by his footwork and counter-punching
Khabib needs to be able to first get close to Conor, and eat his counters, to even begin to entertain taking Conor to the ground. Good luck with that
Closing distance against Conor is like walking through a narrow hallway that's plastered with nuclear land mines every square inch
I can't wait until Conor fights Khabib in September. A lot of people are going to be looking stupid. Conor never gets the credits he deserves

Conor sleeps him.
But Khapullout will pullout and it's another late replacement for Conor.

The reason why Mendes was able to take Conor down is because Mendes would plant his feet, sit and wait for Conor to lead, then duck underneath and drive for the double leg.
This worked because Conor was fighting uncharacteristically (Conor was fighting on short notice and wanted to hurry up and put Mendes away) AND because Conor simply didnt give a shit about being taken down. Conor threw a flying knee at Mendes right off the bat. Conor was confident in his ground game and in his ability to get back up and finish the fight on the feet
(Let's not also ignore that Conor fought Mendes with a knee injury)
Alvarez literally tried the same kind of gameplan against Conor and Conor shut it down ruthlessly. Conor is always improving dramatically from fight to fight
1. Khabib does not have the wrestling style of Mendes. Khabib does NOT have the wrestling mentality of Mendes ("I will plant and wait for the oppuetunity to level change in the face of strikes/stress"). Khabib has no where near the explosiveness of Mendes too.
If you really think Khabib is taking Conor down with an ankle pic from way outside range like he did against Iuquinta, you are in for a rude awakening. Conor is a master of range control and has actual legit footwork. Conor will control range and make Khabib pay dearly for ever attempt at closing distance. Khabib will get frustrated then eventually just rush face first into a counter from Conor that's sparks Khabib out cold

Just take out McGOAT's marbles out of your mouth. Both have a Chance of winning, first doing the mistake and underestimating the other will lose.

I see a video of mostly sucker punches. And yeah that’s about the only way Convict ever beats Khabib. Like the cowardly way Convict punched Nate’s hand during a face off. Then bragged about breaking it afterward.
Cowardly shit like that is totally Convict’s MO.

Okay wow, that's alot of bullshit to dissect. I said he doesn't have the cardio to maintain his POWER, SPEED and PRECISION I never said he loses his effectiveness in a fight. We've seen it time and time again, after the 2nd round after he's accumulated damage his punches lose all their pop, his footwork gets lazy and he relies on out-striking instead of hard counters. Mayweather, Nate, Holloway, Mendes all show his style which relies on explosiveness and reactions give way and he starts fighting differently. You bring up the 2nd Nate fight and it's basically the same as the first, he outstrikes Nates then gasses and is gifted a fucking majority decision, you bring up his staph infection which is all hearsay, if I remember correctly Nate didn't have a full camp in the second fight due to bruised ribs which prevented sparring training for 4 out of his 12 week camp. If you seriously think Khabib on't be able to take him down because he's a "master of movement" then how the fuck did Nate do it with his non-existent wrestling? How his he get bullied physically by 130 fat Mayweather in the ring and Gumpy Nate? Don't bring up excuses they're all hearsay to protect your boys reputation. Take a step back, get Conor's dick out your mouth for a second and realize the little cokeheads 1-1 against a gatekeeper, was boxed the fuck up by a manlet Mendes, got rocked by a volume puncher with no camp and is known(even by casuals) for having no gas tank.
50/50 fight from first to second round, with 80/20 odds for Khabib for the third to fifth.
