How screwed is Mcgregor if Khabib has a Iron jaw?

He doesn't have good striking defence so it doesn't really matter how good his chin is. If McGregor can find it then damage will accumulate
 
Khabib has taken plenty of flush shots and walked through them. He will get the clinch and fuck up McGregor on the ground. Lot of great strikers end up looking like noobs on the mats when they fight him.

Wrong.

1. He knocked Eddie out with ease in the 2nd rd not 4th.

2. Nobody finishes Nate. He’s one of the most durable fighters in the UFC. Dropping Nate that many times in a fight is an accolade in itself.

3. Conor has finished in all his wins besides 2 decision victories, mostly by TKO. If you’re finishing most of your victories by KO/TKO, that’s power.

I don’t think it’s a guarantee that Conor will KO him cold, but it’s certainly not out of the question that Conor could rock Khabib and finish him.

Bottom line, if you think his power is overrated, feel free to name a fighter under MW who has superior power
Woodley undoubtedly has bigger power than Conor
 
McGregor has a good punch for MMA. It's not a great punch in absolutes, but if a guy plunges head first into your shot, you're likely to be floored. If Khabib does that, he's in trouble. Otherwise, we're clearly not talking about Julian Jackson, here. If Khabib can fight reasonably and pick his spots to get engaged with the grappling, the fight should be relatively straightforward. However, McGregor has a real counterpunch against trash strikers who run into shots, and it's not exactly clear that Khabib doesn't count himself among their ranks. Khabib doesn't have a good shot for a takedown, so generally he does need to close the distance, and there is real danger there. He'll likely overcome it, but there is real drama in the matchup before then.
We don’t like unbiased analysis here. You gotta bash either Conor or Khabib next time to get your point through.

So much power
Mayweather is so powerful
 
Mayweather got tagged.

I was gonna say that. Even current Mayweather who has better head moomen than anyone in MMA by a country mile gets tagged. Khabib would have to be a prime Floyd Jr. or RJJ to avoid getting tagged completely.
 
Yes but did he or did he not get tagged? We're talking about how screwed Khabib would be if he has a weak chin, remember? If Khabib has Diaz chin then obviously Conor is screwed, nobody is arguing that, question is what if he doesn't? What if he can't take Conor's left? Where's the evidence that he can avoid getting tagged?
Well he ate a big shot from MJ. A shot that slept Porier yet Conor Threw a bunch to finish Porier. This math doesn’t work out perfectly but gives a good idea that Khabib can eat some big shots and continue to wrestle fuck anyone.
 
True. I did forget about him somehow, but still Conor P4P is right up there with Woodley in terms of power
Conor has solid power but he ain’t a power puncher. He rarely throws bombs at 100% like Woodley and instead looks to counter and use your forward momentum against you. (Woodley actually counters a lot now that I think about it). Conors punching is impressive either way though and he is one of the best knockout artists in the game.

He just needs like 5 or 6 takedowns. Thats easier than 1 ko punch from conor.
 
jeremy stephens hit a washed up USADA Aldo with flush uppercuts and did nothing

Conor hit a prime GOAT fw Aldo with a single left hand and killed him

Conor's left hand is once in a generation power

plus khabob has no chin because he's damaged himself with too many bad weight cuts

Are you claiming MJ is a better KO artist than Conor McGregor?

Never go full retard.
 
MJ rocked Khabib. IF Conor lands a good shot, Khabib will fall.

Thats a real interesting fight to bring up. MJ is bigger than Conor and also a Southpaw with heavy hands. He got thoroughly dismantled and tapped out. He's also hitting arms in that gif.
 
Very. The longer Khabib has to work, the more TDs he will get. Then conor will be in a world of hurt
