Every person who says Conor wins 'Easily' seems more bothered about how his 'Haters' will react rather than the actual fight itself
 
Noone seems to remember while Conor gassed in 2 he got his wind back in the 4th of Diaz fight.

If he can survive Kabib gnp for first 2 rounds Conor wins as he will piece Khabib up standing an Kabib won't have the gas in taNK to lay n prey.

Imo good chance fight goes much same as Mendes fight.

MJ and Edson were very high speed distance fighter with better TDD than Conor.

There are many stylistic differences there but MJ's hand speed, southpaw stance, reach, and explosiveness were not a real issue for a Khabib. Khabib was patient, didn't rush in and still managed to land TDs without having to set them up with strikes.

With Edson, Khabib pressured in a lot but hardly got hit clean because he was very aware of his openings and defended effectively.

Al was a prime example of someone with more than enough power and technique to stop a fight but who could not put forth a solid offense without being punished instantly.

Conor is a different animal in many refards but still plays to several of Khabib's strengths. In the first 2 rounds there is a very real chance that Conor could make somthing happen but I personally find it unlikely. Khabib is very aware of his weaknesses and does a great job at adjusting to his opponents style's on the fly.

All valid points, but it ignores what has made mcgregor a success - Khabib has fought better grapplers, more robust defenders of the TD, harder hitters etc, but he hasn't fought anyone with the power and shot placement that McGregor has.

Either way - Fingers crossed a deal can be struck, and that Khabib can stay injury free and on weight, because there is no fight I want to see more right now.
 
You can't beat someone who ain't fighting anymore...Conor got his retirement pay...

Sure, I guess.

Point is Khabib wants the fight and is just waiting for UFC to send him a contract

why am I not allowed to doubt this but Khabib fans were perfectly entitled to say Conor was scared or avoiding Khabib?

Conor got his wind back because he was standing the entire fight. He'll be way more drained after carrying Khabib's weight while absorbing a shit load of strikes.

Anything can happen but Khabib's style is anything but LnP. He is a brutal GnP specialist know for exaughsting everyone he fights. He doesn't give you much room to breath.

Conor's best chance is in rounds 1 & 2 imo. He might be able to make something happen in 3 but itbis unlikely.

I don't care what you think. I'm just correcting you on the Ali interview.

I don't know or care about what Conor will do. I personally don't see why he would fight again but if he does, great.

When does Conor actually fight people in his natural weight class? Oh wait. He lost.

?

Don't understand what that has to do with Khabib knocking anyone out. He wrestles and exhausts them.

Stupid white belts
 
Conor is retired. He ain't coming back
 
How's he gonna do that unless he gets in a street fight with him?

Sure, Conor is a very skilled counter striker thats for sure. He can capitalize on little errors and deal lots of damage. I was just saying that Khabib has shown that he can be just as effective while being less aggressive. I think will approach this like the first 2 rounds against Al. Very few, if any, strikes on the feet and set up that TD chain early.

It'd be a great fight. I'm not gonna get my hopes up tho.
 
There is more chance of Elvis Presley getting in the Octagon with Khabib, than CM Punk.

Day 584
 
khabib bent on destruction is a scary thing
