Media Al Iaquinta Plans To Beat Conor & Then Rematch Khabib

[Deleted member 545701]

Al Iaquinta back in the arena in which he lost to Khabib last year and live on the Helwani Sonnen show, he talked about his interest in a Conor fight.

-Says he's spoken with the UFC about it, but the Nevada commission hearing is really what dictates the decision

-Believes Conor wouldn't turn down a challenge this big

-Conor's responses on twitter show interest in him

-Wants to rematch Khabib after beating Conor



Is this a case of "be careful what you ask for"

Or does Al have what it takes to take out Conor McGregor?

Alpha Iaquinta

Al can take punishment and has a lot of heart which is bad for Conor who has very little heart.

 

[Mortal Wombat]

I like his attitude. Can beat Conor but Khabib was winning everywhere. He was on sort notice right?

 

[Phillyz]

McGregor KO's him within 2 rounds

 

[Death By Samson]

It sounds like Conor may have a much more pressing matter to attend to than a fight with Al.

 

[Final Say]

I expect a pretty quick takedown attempt from al.

Will be interesting but Conor would probably find a way

 

[SpongeJoshSquareCheck]

Conor wins but it's a good fight

I mean al has a better chance beating khabib than connor style wise... Al is not a td fighter hes a wrestler striker his tds suck.. And his standup isnt good enough to get it done.

I see conor knocking him out easy.

I like Al in that fight. Book it boys. Could be a major war.

 

[oldschoolmmafan]

WAR AL!

 

[BooBoyMan]

Conor has difficulty dealing with strikers who are as big as him that have a great chin and good cardio (Diaz fights for ex.). If he doesn't sleep Iaquinta in the first 2 rounds, Al should win easily.

Al has a tendency to brawl though which could lead to him getting KO'd early. Idk. This is a really close fight. 55/45 Al, imo.

Would be a great fucking fight to watch, and lead-up will be funny

Just like Kevin Lee did, amirite?

McGregor KO's him within 2 rounds

Nope, Al TKOs him in the 4th or 5th.

 

[LockardTheGOAT]

Waste of time, this fight is. Conor could beat Al without even blinking.

Right, because Lee and Conor have the same fighting style.

 

[Gilday]

Him vs Conor is actually really interesting

 

[Thenewguysnm1]

I see AL as a poor mans Alvarez but I have to give him credit for Beating Lee
It’s a fun fight
If mcgregor wins he had wins over 2 of the top 5
Makes sense
Would like to see Conor fight pettis as a tune up first

 

[PharoahHeight]

I think Conor wins and it looks just like the Alvarez fight
