Who has a better chance against Conor McGregor? Khabib or Tony?

[Shr3dd3r]

Who do you guys think have a better chance and why?
Looking at fighting style and body type, I think...
Khabib beats Tony. But Khabib will lose to Conor. But Tony would have beaten Conor.

 

[stuckyrini]

Conor still fights?

 

[Z28LS1L98]

Khabib

 

[Squall10]

Nate Diaz is harder to put away. But a clean shot from Connor likely kills either of them as easily as the Alvarez or Poirier fights.

 

[Sonny Qc]

Khabib

 

[KeiranMc]

Khabib...Conor would knock Tony out.

 

[AminoAcid]

Khabib.


Toney is very beatable, imo.


But so is Conor.




Khabib however, has shown no real weaknesses. He has no known weaknesses (insert Belfort image here).

 

[TrueBias]

They both beat him easily but Tony wont be boring about it

i would say tony beats both, but you're right, kabib is the more winnable fight for mcg.

Khabib would rape ConWhore so badly that he'd wake up in the morning as the poster child of the #METOO movement.

They would both beat him.

But Nurmagomedov might literally kill him.

I see Khabib going in low for a takedown or to grapple and Conor landing the left as he's coming in low.
Tony, on the other hand, kinda pulls his head back a lot going along with the punch, kinda like how Nate rolls with the punches. He's also tall and Lanky, and Conor has a problem with that. (Max Holloway, Nate Diaz).

I would like to see Khabib beat Conor, but stylistically I don't see it happening.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

I saw Lando rocked Ferguson and put him on skates.

McGregor could very well one shot kill him.

Ferguson 50/50 against McGregor

Khabib 85/15 against McGregor

imo most likely kabib wins, but it could also end like mcg-alvarez. it's the styles that make the outcome possible. tony has much more tools, even when hit, as you say, he rolls with most of the punches. kabib is much stiffer and that suits mcg better for counter punches.

 

[NRFC]

You can't compare the Alvarez fight to Khabib because their games are so different.

Khabib gets hold of Conor and its over.

Agreed. This narrative of " Khabib has poor stand up" is absurd. Sherdog considers great stand up to be flashy spinning shit, and tho that is not Khabib's style, he is all about what is effective. In his last two fights, he just outstruck two of the division's best strikers, and prior to that, he outstruck RDA too.

Conor has good power and gets clean shots. Standing with him is not a winning formula, at least not for the first 2 rounds. He seems to fade. Conor would have to time Khabib coming in, something he could do. Once Khabib gets ahold of him it is over. His ground game and control is another level better than Nates. I don't see Conor being very effective after a few minutes of fending off the Khabib onslaught. Tony is tough too. He is very creative but he can be hit and it appears that you don't want to get hit by Connor unless you have a Nate chin an durability. Khabib just schooled a terrific striker so I think Conor needs to tag him early coming in or its lights out. I am not sure Conor is fighting any time son. Maybe he'll box Manny, probably more money there then in the UFC although won't be 100 million. If Conor got schooled by Khabib or Tony, he may find his marketablity goes down fast.

At the same time, I think Khabib overpowers Tony just from strength and wrestling prowess, and just grounds and pounds him. Tony's style is horrible for Khabib, but I think is perfect for Conor.

Both. If they stick to smart game plans.
