No pro logic in any single one of your post. Your name has to be a funny joke
**Be careful what you wish for Khabib, now there's no way out** ...**Keep doubting the king** ...

This is just false. Can you provide sources
Because I can provide tons of video compilations proving how many people are always picking against Conor in all his fights
You are also ignoring the main point about how Conor is the betting favorite because bookies have to actually be objective about Conor's next level skill sets and can't place the line based on emotion/hate.
I am willing to bet that there are a significant amount of sherdog Conor haters who have lost a fortune betting against Conor (that could be a reason for some of the extreme obsessed hate lol) They will never admit it. They will just keep blindly betting against Conor.
Also, I might as well take this time to address a huge misconception
Lines are not based on popularity or on trying to entice people to swing one way
Many people made a big deal out of Conor only being a slight underdog to Floyd, and yet Conor performed like the slight underdog he was, giving Floyd lots of trouble and winning round after round etc
So the lines ended up being right.
Again bookies know how next level Conor is...They are forced to study Conor and come to that realization when money is on the line and it's time to be objective
Fun fact: the lines for Conor vs Khabib are the exact same as they were for Conor vs Aldo...
Khabib is favored to win at -170 with McGregor coming back at +140.
Aldo was favored to win at -170 with McGregor at +140 against Aldo
: )
Btw, I never bet. It's not my thing. Ive never placed one bet in my life even when I was sure of an outcome and it happened exactly as I thought. I just like studying combat sports for my own personal enjoyment and growth
But I do know how betting works

What? Khabib can kill conor. Have u not seen conors ground game or gastank? Conor has 1 way to win the fight period, hes at a disadvantage in all other aspects of the fight besides a left hook.
You don't know how betting works at all lmao
The bookies' initial line is meaningless, it's only their best guess at predicting how the public is going to bet. Plus every bookie opens the line differently; bookies don't care about who's going to win, they only care about getting an even amount of money on both sides so they can profit regardless of who wins. In almost all of Conor's pro fights, the line has swung massively in his favour from the opening line because his legion of fans put money on him to win and shift the line. Guarantee the odds on Conor will dip from where it currently sits.
McGregor opened as a -300 favorite for the first Diaz fight, yet closed at -585
Opened at +190 against Poirier but closed at -300

Just let the adults talk on matters which you know nothing about, boy.
How stupid is a chap who doesn't even know that lines can change based on placed bets haha?

The line has moved towards Conor in literally every fight because of fan belief. The only reason the odds were so absurdly close for the Floyd fight was that people bet on Conor to the point where it heavily moved the line.

Such a chicken fought the best wrestler at fw on 2 weeks notice. Fought and koed the fw goat. Went to fight the current lw champ who pulled out. Lost to diaz and immediatly ran it back. Did a cash grab fight vs a 49-0 pro boxer which anybody who knew boxing knew who would lose. Made the lw champ look like an ammy mma fighter.
Could have never fought mma again and lived off sponsors and investments the rest of life. Comes back to mma to fight the one guy everybody says is his worst matchup.
Yep Conors such a fucking scared chicken......

Seems like you sluts wish everyone was doubting , given your trigger level. No one is really doubting. Look at the odds and expect them to be close to even money after the talk starts. Slap yourself.

"Left hook"
You know a straight and a hook are two different punches....right?
The left straight is the tool. The footwork, the feints, the timing, the speed, the accuracy, is the setup to use his tool. Btw Conor has a very underrated lead hand. Besides range finding and framing, his lead uppercut is sneaky and vicious.
Maybe you should watch some of his earlier fights. He slammed holloway with some hard leads, he hit diaz with some leads, he has a counter lead uppercut ko from hell in an early mma fight. He is much more then a "left hook"

No problem, brah...
The opening line is paramount and IT IS AN OPINION and it's calculated by people who know what there doing. Whether it's the fight game , odds (baseball) or your standard 10% vig sports (football , basketball). Only in the latter where juice is involved, " in a perfect world"- yes, they'd love to see 50/50 action .
......which in reality, never happens(or I should say " rarely happens")
The opening line ( ever so important) does work in a similar way across the board.The patriots are at home and 14 point favorites against the bears.After this line/OPINION is established, now the game is equal, even Stephen.....then the public takes line wherever it may go...
MMA...they simply form an opening line based on several variables which are based on opinions.At the end of the day they believe Khabib is a -170 favorite over Conor (which is a mild favorite in the fight game).....and he is a 170 favorite for a reason and nots, LOL, because they think Conor is the better fighter. If their goal was to have equal on both sides (don't get me wrong- in a perfect world- they'd like it to be close so the house isn't to heavy on one side but these things usually don't come to fruition) then they'd probably make Conor a favorite and hope public money /khabib backers and " smart money" even out the line.It doesn't work this way cause they have no idea where money is going to go .They open a line (and people should REALLY read into it) and then they let the public do their thing.
The line goes where it goes and sometimes, SOMETIMES casinos do talk to other casinos --- let's say Conor is taking the lion share of money and come fight night the line is still-170, -175.....hmmmm, I wonder why that is (and Vegas isnt always right, that's why it's called gambling and sometimes they stand by and stick with a line) They also protect themselves (all casinos vary in fight game) with the minus and take back being wide and wide-er, hence -" global" might cut a line 70 cents where a line might only be -240 [ 240/ 170]....and, obviously, the higher the line - the bigger the difference between favorite and dog.
Sorry if I'm a bit all over the place but just woke up and have to get ready for work where weekends are my bread and butter BECAUSE of the topic I tried to explain.

"I want to change his face " sounds like a psychopath
No problem
Thank you for that: )
Take note @The Blob , this is actually Franklin's job
His notion that bookies only ever made Conor the favorite due to popularity or to swing one way and or how it's just Conor's lession of fans, was retarded beyond belief
Again thank you for chiming in
I do have a basic understanding, not any where near like you, and I knew you would be able to explain it far better.

ur a casual
Btw @Franklin U. What do you personally make of the Conor vs Khabib odds?
I have never actually placed a bet in my life, and I don't plan to
But im interested in all the pre fight discussion we can get lol
Can you share your perspective, with you being someone who does this for a living and actually knowing what you are talking about (unlike most sherdoggers)
What do you think about the false notions om the odds from Conor haters?
