Coming from the guy who predicted the last 3 Khabib fights and Colby Covington winning against RDA and Wonderboy..
I notice a lot of people discussing this fight and calling it a 50:50 with lots of differing opinions. I believe this is not rational.
Let me give you some facts:
- Conor has only won ONE fight at Lightweight against a smaller 5'8 Eddie Alvarez
- All of his big wins are against smaller opponents(except Diaz 2 which is a questionable win)
- 90% of his wins have been due to extreme weight cutting
- He has never fought any top Lightweights outside of Eddie
- He ducked Khabib last time and fought Eddie instead, actually they both ducked Khabib
- Khabib is larger, bigger boned than Conor
- Khabib has never been rocked or remotely hurt in his entire career
- Khabib has never dropped a round in his entire career
- Khabib has never been hit by a solid shot
- Conor got knocked out by a 40 year old man recently
- Conor got outwrestled by 5'6 Chad Mendes and even Nate Diaz
Looking at the facts rationally, you can deduce that Conor is a giant con artist that fought midgets by using extreme weight cutting. He skipped the line and has never fought a bad matchup, or even really any of the top LW's(outside of Eddie). Conor almost got destroyed by 5'6 Chad Mendes.
We know he got destroyed in the striking department by a 5'8 40 year old Floyd Mayweather.
Imagine a 5'10 Khabib, the best wrestler MMA has ever seen taking Conor down. It will be game over.
What's going to happen is horrible for Conor, he will enter the ring with Khabib, try to strike, and he will get taken down very quickly. Then, he is going to get his brains bashed in for 5 rounds straight. I truly hope for Conor that his team throws in the towel after a few rounds of receiving permanent brain damage.
Even IF Conor COULD land a hard punch on Khabib(highly unlikely, Khabib is one of the least hit fighters in the UFC) while Khabib is mounting intense takedown pressure on Conor, Khabib's chin is rock solid and has barely even been hit.
IF Conor dares to step into the octagon with Khabib, it's going to be a brutal display of fraud entertainment con artist vs. the real deal.
In short, we have a guy that has only fought in a lower division and has only won 2 out of his last 4 fights while taking intense brain damage with his 'superior striking' vs. a guy that is unbeaten, hasn't dropped a single round in the UFC and is basically the best MMA wrestler of all time.
Conor's career will be over after millions of people watch him getting his brain bashed in for 25 minutes straight. He will retire or organize another fraud entertainment clown fiesta vs Diaz or Mayweather.
Conor fanboys. It's over.
