If this khabib shows up Conor will have an easy night

Conor got taken down by the vaunted grappler Dennis Siver. ;)
<DCWhoa>
 
Except MJ is much quicker, better wrestling, better cardio and much more heart than Conor Mctap.
Quicker in what way? No way does MJ have faster hands, not even close

Dudes punches come from below the hip
 
So if he doesn't like people talking shit how is he going to handle a press conference where Conor calls him out for beating cans with no top 3 wins, or for openly admitting hes scared to stand with Conor or how he hid on the bus
I think Conor doing public media hype fake trashtalk on big stage will piss him less than a fellow russian talking shit in random interview
Actually the former will even cause him get more money

Having no intention of standing with Conor is actually strong mindset.
Feel pushed to play into opponent's gameplan to prove something is the true sign of character weakness, his not going to stand mean that he will get there in the cage with Conor, throw him to the ground, battery him as long he quit (or 5 rounds) and Conor will not be able to do shit about that.
Don't see weakness there, if anything it shows that he's immune to be influenced into play a stupid fight

Also lol at Conor calling him out when he was the one saying he "will stay ready if Khabib or Tony pull out of the fight"

Conor's hope was Tony def Khabib for him lol
 
If this Conor shows up its going to be a loooong night.

Conor fears head trauma. He has talked about this dozens of times.

He will 100% give up if he ends up on his back and starts eating leather. It will go quickly.
 
Khabib has never been in a fight even close to this magnitude. The pressure , constant questions, TMZ following him around, etc is going to have an affect on him. Based on his actions with Diaz, Artem and others we know he is not mentally stable. Conor will be deeply in his head, similar to aldo. So we have no way to gauge how he will react and perform. Just like everyone else Conor has fought

This grasping at straws... you are legit terrified.

And you should be: Remember Conor's theory as to why he couldn't put Nate out with his best shots? He claimed that it was size. That FW would have definitely crumpled under that power. Now he's fighting someone who is just as big as Nate, who can take the shots and who will 100% take him down as soon as they lock up.
 
People are using the Also KO as the norm..It is really an outlier.. Conor gets his KO's via multiple strikes and Khabib has show a willingness and ability to walk people down..

If he can get his hands on him.. He will put Conor on his back and it will look like the MJ or Barboza fights.

If Conor can keep distance it will be interesting to see how much he opens up and strikes knowing that he has to maintain distance for fear of the takedown. The striking is definitely advantage Conor.

a reasonable take?! in a Conor thread?!

the key factor here is how Mcg can keep khabib at bay and how khabib can get the clinch. regarding gas tank we know khabib has a lot of stamina and he knows he can't trade with mcg so the fight will easily go to the ground. I don't think Mcg will do his right shoulder push defense against TD since khabib will rush to get the clinch. this is more of how to keep/get distance type of play.
 
Sloppy striking against Conor and this happens..

that's because Eddie wanted to trade with him and he was on Mcg's reach; look at the looping right hand, it didn't touched McG and khabib won't rush punching like that knowing that Mcg will counter him.
 
People act as if Conor hits like Anthony Johnson or something. Yes he could catch Khabib but odds are that Khabib can take a few. Conors gas tank can't survive more than two rounds of a true grind.

Khabib himself said he would not pretent to be a boxer with Conor like he did with Al. He said he is going to chain wrestle, grind him and talk to him while he is stealing his soul.
This is the most likely outcome. Odds makers agree as well.

Eddie knew that too, so did Aldo, and Mendes and Poirier
