Conor has approximately 6 minutes to KO khabib

[ivory suit]

I think from when the first bell goes, conor has a minute or so to land a killer punch on Khabib, if not he will be taken down and punished the rest of the round.

That will hugely drain his cardio and he will probably be finished after that.

IF he makes it out for the 2nd round, he will have about a minute before he's taken down again.

The question is, does conor have the footwork and ringcraft to avoid Khabib long enough to land that killer blow?

Thoughts?

they both have about 25minutes to finish each other.

Not so sure, I think either can win by decision and that is actually the most likely outcome. That is why I would favor Khabib, he will have a few take downs for sure.

 

[Sapphorous]

Pfft 6 minutes. Give him a dolley and he can do it in half the time

Conor would knock out that bobble head in 12 seconds.

 

[Frankie Baby!]

Khabib would take him down the first 30 seconds, and then Conor would get exhausted, then in the 2nd Round, the same thing happens, except Khabib may finish him.

Conor gassed at 170, in the second round against Alvarez he was fresh as a daisy.

We'll see how Khabib goes for the take downs when he gets hit by the left every times he tries to close the distance. Conor has a 4" reach advantage over him and no one in the UFC uses distance and timing better than Conor.

Keep thinking it will be this easy, though.

Conor has about 15 more years to take the fight is more realistic

I give Conor 4 minutes in the first, 2 in the second, and 1 in the third to finish him. At a lighter weight I think conor can last a little bit longer. A little bit

The only MMA fight he's gassed in was vs Diaz.

He won't get as fatigued vs Khabib. He's shown in the past, much like Silva he is able to relax off his back and lock up an opponent. Even if Khabib does pass and do a little damage, it's less likely to gas him as much as staying on the feet for 25 minutes eating shots would.

Al lasted 5 rounds But Conor McGregor is done in six minutes. You haters are completely delusional. It’s funny to read.

Very interesting, TS. Very insightful. I once wrote an essay paper for one of my classes regarding this exact same topic. Did a lot of research, read a lot of scholarly articles, and the results I concluded, boy were they absolutely phenomenal..

Spoiler

Conor has until either he gets KO'd, submitted or DQ'd, or until the time expires, to finish Khabib. I know, absolutely staggering.

 

[linvillegorge]

Weird fight. Both guys are great in the first two rounds and then turn into a shadow of themselves after that. I don't think Conor can stop Khabib's takedowns when they're both fresh and I don't think he can finish him on the feet after he starts to tire. Either he gets the flash KO early, Khabib gets the finish on the ground inside the first or we'd be heading to some very interesting scorecards. Likely with Khabib dominating the first two them Conor edging the last three. Fight would be decided by 10-8 calls on the 1st two rounds.

Conor gassed at 170, in the second round against Alvarez he was fresh as a daisy.

Because he didn’t take ANY punishment and fought at his own riddum.

He was gasping for air against Mini Mendes.

But i'm expecting Khabib to take him down in the first round and batter him so bad that he gasses

im not a hater, infact im a huge conor fan.

I just think being pummelled by khabib is so exhausting that conor wont have knockout power after the first round

I think he has knock out power for three rounds. And the difference in stand up between the two of them is so huge. His chances of a knockout are very very high in my opinion in that first round. This guy keeps his chin up and has a lousy striking technique. That is easy prey for Conor..

Thats just biased hater talk. More like approximately 7 minuets
