Sounds about right.

A ton of money will come in on McGregor though.

Is normal.

Conor's got a puncher's chance, but a hell of a chance at that. Betting wise, Conor's a good underdog pick.

Bet the farm on Conor

Betting on Conor with those odds

Conor’s going to have to knock Khabib out standing if he is going to win.

The further the fight goes, the less chance he has. Khabib will eventually land a takedown. Conor won’t be able to get up and the fight will be Khabib’s

This shit will have Conor as the favorite or dead even at the end.

Im not saying Khabib "Cant" win but with shit striking and no power double....I just dont see how. Hes not going to corner Conor. He will also get lit up on the feet trying.

TKO for Conor and I'd be surprised to see it go to the second round.

There is match ups that I think are harder for Conor than Khabib at 155 for sure.

I’m favoring Khabib, but that line will probably shift towards Mcgregor as we get closer to the fight

This fight will be nerve racking

Khabib is going to silence this drunk Irish guy.

I'd expect Conor to be the favourite once the actual fight comes around and the odds change

I'd make a good bet on that happening actually

i think he shoots a bad one,gets stuffed, gets a clinch and eventually puts mcgregor down... unless mcgregor knocks him out exactly there

 

[SSgt Dickweed]

I'm pretty torn on this. I hate Conor but Khabib seems susceptible to that left.

If Khabib takes Conor down and mounts him though, it'll be a matter of minutes.

Why the fuck did Tony get injured? I have him over both these dorks.

But what are his chances against Tiramisu?
