Poirier is right that he thinks Khabib will win

[LongDongSilver]

Dustin .. just make sure you train hard on them one two punches Diaz plans to bring

one more little hint .. the two is usually real long .. dont move str8 back and you'll be fine

What did I just read ???

to put it simply, conor will do the proper training for this fight...and he won't be a pushover on the ground...

 

[bigconan]

So what you are saying is that Conor will not have any of the gaps in his game that he has shown over his career? He will close them all up and be perfect?

his only gap in wrestling is when he got gas against nate and had a knee injury against mendes...which he still won in under 2 rounds...I don't think he has gaps...

I guess we will find out soon enough.

Nobody knows for certain who will win this fight.

Both guys have certain weaknesses, and both guys are astounding at their strengths.

I lean towards the odds that Khabib gets ahold of Conor, but McGregors pin-point striking could take him out early if he just rushes in wildly.

It's a fascinating match-up in that we really have no idea which guy will be able to impose their particular strength against the other, till that first exchange or two.

^ Exactly. This fight is about as close to a toss-up as there ever was.

I'm going in the opposite direction and think Conor will maintain distance and tag Khabib, slow him down and finish him in the 3rd.

But I won't be the least bit shocked if your prediction comes true. Either way, it's an exciting pairing on paper. Can't. Fing. Wait.

very true...I think he's going to surprise alot of people..

 

[Final Say]

so do most fighters. Faber said something along the lines of "i dunno, Khabib i guess, but shit, Conor could win too". the headline said "Faber picks Khabib" and most sherdoggers (not exactly known for their innate grasp on subtleties) concluded - after reading the post title about an article headline that badly summarized a video - that Faber hates Conor.

it's like the telephone game, except that in this case the actual information is at people's fingertips. and they consciously choose to stay ignorant and make grandeur opinions/conclusions from that ignorance.

shit, did i just describe sherdog, or America?

I saw a video titled 'Faber picks mcgregor' and then I watched it and urijah picked Mcgregor lol
