What exactly is Conors game plan in a Khabib rematch?

[613]

I think that Conor would have fought at 155 if he was targeting a Khabib rematch. I'm not sure what his plan is. Run out his contract and do Celebrity Big Brother maybe?

He just wants money . He'll probably fight Nate again after

 

[legedema]

Lose badly again and then try to make it sound like he won

THIS

Except you are wrong. They are not that far apart in weight and we know this from what their camps say. 44 days out from his fight with Barboza he was only 170lb. He was 166lb 5 days before the Conor fight. You can pretend all you want that they are far apart in weight. You are wrong. They are basically the same size

Nah. Khabib is never making fw.

We have heard Aka lie about DCs weight to make him seem more impressive.

Khabib is a seasoned striker from his Sambo days. He is not going to run into a counter. Conor is not a heavy handed puncher who can force a knockdown (gassed out manlets dont count).

He is obviously not going to submit or outwrestle Khabib either.... So does he just want this fight for the cash?

conor game plan is to tap out

You are delusional if you think Conor could come close to making FW these days. People get bigger when they get older you dumb fuck. They are both in the 170s (well Conor is actually in the 180s now but he wont fight at LW that big) When they fight at LW these days.

Conor has «nothing» to do at lw. Maybe he is too lazy to make fw now. Weightcutting is hell. He is a successful fw.

He is gonna hope that Khabib has lost all motivation after losing the belt to Tony...

He is not better than Conor on the feet. However, Conors gastank is not the best, so if Conor doesn’t win in rd 1 (for irst half of rd 2), against a big pressuring guy like Khabib, he will have a problem.

When they fought khabib was far more effective on the feet.
Better then Conor at doing damage with strikes. Better with timing and pressure. Better with positioning jabs hooks the works. Stood in front and laughed at him. Even slapped him.
From what's seen to be actually true, Khabib is far better.

Edit* first thing your striking coach teaches you DAY ONE is that your gas tank is your main weapon for rolling around or standing up. With your gas tank it's especially about how you use it. Conor's crap.

All Conor has to do is to climb up some peruvian mountains, summons the Gods of fight, lie down on the ground with some Ayahuasca with Shamans dancing around him and maybe, only maybe the Gods will have heard enough and grant him his wish to win. Mark my words.

Maybe, but...
If he doesn't train properly or lay off the piss and coke he's fucked.

Get paid like a Golden God for taking a 2nd beating at the hands of Khabib then leave the sport forever...

Get paid with his potential for another big payday intact.

He didn’t try to grapple, Khabib got an absolutely insane TD 10 seconds into the first. Or well, he got hold of Conor’s ankle and after that you just know it will eventually lead to a TD.

Conor can’t win that fight.

Khabib is so goddamn tenacious. That said, I was actually quite surprised with Conor's ability to defend the TD for as long as he did. He moves very well, and imo his grappling is underrated. I just think he trusted too much in his skillset and somewhat tried to reverse Khabib instead of trying to get away from him and keep the fight on the feet. Khabib is too good on the ground for practically anyone in the division right now, but I think other grapplers will have a very hard time taking Conor down and keeping him there.

A title shot at 155 after winning at 170. Ridiculous

HIs gas tank is better. His positioning, technique, timing and power is not even close.

Pfffffft

He dropped him with a lead overhand right without even bothering to jab! Why?... because Conor was standing shoulders square inside Khabibs range. Chin up moving to the right.
That's expert positioning by Khabib and absolutely amateur stuff from any defender. Ppl crapping on about the takedown furthers the point as to why that bomb landed.
Conor had good enough positioning to be slapped twice and right handed all night. Terrible.
Give one example, when he and Khabib ACTUALLY exchanged skills, where he was in control in any way especially in the stand up.
Khabib beat him in ALL areas.

Dropped him. Then slapped him around.
Lift the veil man seriously.

 

[Angry Bob]

He's planning to tap out and claim some sort of moral victory afterwards.
