I still don't really follow as to why that is hilarious though. If it is as likely an outcome, to you, as Conor getting smashed on the ground, their predicting that outcome is perfectly reasonable(imo).
I don't see it as 50/50, to be honest. I lean more 60/40 toward Khabib putting the hurt on him for about 2.5-3 rounds until Conor gives up his neck...but Khabib does leave that chin nice and high in the air, and Conor does have the death-touch coupled with fantastic timing + accuracy + distance management.
Should be a good watch, regardless.
