It is inevitable. Those two are going to rematch again. Lets revisit the fight and the post reactions.
Khabib won the first 2 rounds on the scorecards. Conor won the 3rd because it was kept standing. 4th Khabib was on par to win it before the sub.
Here is DC take on Conor vs Khabib. Starts at 1:47
Cliffs:
- At Aka they try to get you “lost in the sauce” where if they get your leg, and you defend it, they will transition to another technique. So there is levels.
- says he was impressed with conor because he had to get to level 4 to get that first TD.
- says despite conors perfect defense, he doesn’t know if he could do that any better because he still got taken down.
- If conor keeps defending Khabib will just go to level 5,6,7
To sum it up: No matter what Conor does he is going to get taken down.
Here is Coach Kavanagh take on fight:
Cliffs:
- thinks he was too defensive in his mindset for this training camp.
- worked very specific to counter khabibs uniques TDs
- round 3 showed promise,
- rematch would emphasize more on offensive because they went in with the mindset of “not to lose, but not to win”
- big factor conor hasn’t fought in 2 years. Ring rust was real.
Kavanagh threw Conor under the bus, and said the old conor would never have gotten caught by that overhand right in the 2nd. This created a rift between Conor so he and his striking Coach Owen Roddy left SBG Dublin together.

Knowing that he will get taken down by Khabib, is Conor focusing his new gameplan by expanding his toolset with Jiu Jitsu?
The ground game has always been Conor’s weakpoint, that’s no mystery, but what kind of tactics can McGregor employ to become successful in his rematch with Khabib? Offensive guard like Carols Condit maybe?
