Do people really think that Conor could "one punch" KO Khabib???

[wisdom blows]

It will probably take more than one, but it will happen. Khabib is too slow and sloppy standing.

 

[ZOD66]

Kick will do damage to Khabib more and ground and pound punches will finish him

 

[Final Say]

I think Conor is more of a shot placement type of guy, he has good timing and tends to catch guys in the right spot rather than just landing with hellacious power.

This is more important than having big power when it comes to knocking guys out, so yes, Conor can end it with one punch.

Not that it'll come easy, it may not come at all, but of course it's possible

Thing is Michael Johnson arguably hits just as hard as Conor, he just doesn't have anywhere near the technique, poise and accuracy. Khabib ate that shot, took him down repeatedly and broke him.

Except MJ didnt even hit him clean on the chin.....

And lol at arguably hits as hard, how many of his wins are by TKO/KO compared to Conor, who has done it against better competition?

 

[Paynebringer]

Khabib doesn't have the same approach for each fight.

This ^^^ much is true depending on the opponent he can relentless pressure walk you down into a unwanted clinch or he can circle in/out of fighting range waiting for deep under shoot-in.

Conor doesn’t have 1 punch ko power. He has 1 flat out ko and that’s from Aldo rushing in full force.

In the UFC. He has a few others before that.

 

[wisdom blows]

Absolutely not. Conor McGregor is not a counter striker at all. He puts pressure and moves forward. Did you really watch his fights? He fucking runs forward. Did you watch Wonderboy? Lyoto Machida? They are counter strikers. Do you see the difference?

Lol, you should watch golf or something cause you dont understand MMA

 

[Luthien]

King Conor will grind Khabibs dagistani ass into ravioli -

all you haters after the fight.

 

[Arkham's Notorious Geyser]

The infamous Michael Johnson punch caught Khabib's arm, that's what threw him off balance, that shot was nowhere near his chin, Joe was just exaggerating shit as usual.

Edson caught him clean, Michael Johnson literally tagged the inside of his arm that caused him to wobble.

That magic works good on men, but one does not simply overcome Allah with Lucky Charms.

You’d be surprised what lucky charms can be capable of fella

Also I’m pretty sure I seen Khanon drinking vodka

No one had KOed Aldo before Conor did it. It's highly unlikely but there's a small chance it can happen. It's the ones you don't see coming that hurt the most.

 

[Absolution]

Yes, MJ put him on skates

 

[agibmxmma]

This is moronic. Of course he can one punch KO him. Connor has serious power, speed and timing.

Can he stay on his feet long enough to land one though? That's an entirely different question.

But Al Iaquinta managed to stay standing for a long time. Granted he is a better wrestler, but he also doesn't have the power or timing to keep Kabib nervous about closing the distance.

If Kabib has to shoot 15 times and Connor is able to stay standing for 10-15 mins, of course he can land a KO shot.

Not saying Connor will win, but he always has a chance at landing a KO.

In the UFC. He has a few others before that.

Conor has 3 one punch KO's on his entire record, before Aldo, the last one was in 2012. He's has a precise and accurate left, that when placed in volume, can create a TKO, but to act like he has KO power from one punch, isn't that realistic.

 

[DocK]

Y'all really have no clue who Conor McGregor is, do you.

 

[sdpdude9]

Everybody likes to talk like McGregor has insane power, but he doesn't really. Almost all his finishes are accumulations of strikes, which favors Khabib. He is unlikely to put him down in one exchange.

 

[Final Say]

Conor has 3 one punch KO's on his entire record, before Aldo, the last one was in 2012. He's has a precise and accurate left, that when placed in volume, can create a TKO, but to act like he has KO power from one punch, isn't that realistic.

So despite acknowledging his multiple one punch KOs, you find it unrealistic to say he has one punch KO ability?

He effectively stopped Poirier with one punch as well

Uhm, if he has 1 punch KOs he has one punch KO power. Doesn't mean he has the best one punch KO power possible, that only needs to clip you and it'll be done, but he still has the power and ability to KO you with one punch.

 

[HUGHPHUG]

How many one punch KO's does Conor have? 2?
Buchinger and Aldo, Doherty kind of.

That's 2 in what 24 25 fights?

Not that big a liklihood I would have said

 

[Devout Pessimist]

I have a hard time believing Khabib is simply going to charge straight into Conor's fists with reckless abandon. This is not WMMA where fight IQ and gameplans do not exist. Kahbib will keep his chin down and circle away from Conor's power hand while looking for opportunities to clinch with Conor and press him up against the cage.

It is also possible he will surprise Conor and shock the world with something like this:

 

[ChucksGlassJaw]

Absolutely not. Conor McGregor is not a counter striker at all. He puts pressure and moves forward. Did you really watch his fights? He fucking runs forward. Did you watch Wonderboy? Lyoto Machida? They are counter strikers. Do you see the difference?

Holy shit this is a dumb post. Tons of counterpunchers move forward and apply pressure. Counter punching is about dictating the terms of an exchange. Counter punchers apply pressure to bait the opponent and then counter off that. I can't get over how dumb of a post your's is. Jesus christ.
