In McGregor's prime he might have been competitive, but remember that he lost badly to Nate Diaz in his prime. McGregor now gets absolutely destroyed.
Patient Gaethje feels like a myth sometimes. He fought like a retard against Oliveira two fights ago. He doesn't do well against pressure. Fiziev was doing a great job until he gassed. And Poirier looked very bad against Chandler. I picked Gaethje to win, just didn't expect him to flatline Poirier lol.
I remember that, Diaz is a stylistic nightmare for him. Every guy Conor beat would beat Diaz (likely). On to the topic, Everything Gaethje does is inferior to prime Conor. People like to hate him, but there was no striker better than him in his prime, in his divisions. I can only give Gaethje the cardio advantage and even that was never one of his strengths (partly because he fought so wild yes). I cannot see that fight being very competitive at all (hypothetical prime Conor one).
