McGregor is gonna murdalize Khabib, for real.

Should be highly entertaining.
 
I'm going for Khabib...he gets the takedown, smothers him and smashes him...
 
Will it look like McGregor v Mendes (first round) or McGregor v Mendes (second round)?

Should be a great fight. On paper I'd say this favors Khabib but when I've seen him fight he is hittable and McGregor does hit hard.
 
I think Khabib is going to take this one. I think he wants it more. We shall see though. Should be an amazing fight no matter what happens. I'm pumped for it. Finally!

It depends. Khabib was taking some lefts in previous fights largely because he fights with his hands low and chin high often. A left from Mcgregor could sleep Khabib.

On the other hand (the right hand I guess) Khabib is good at pressuring the other fighter into the cage and then scoring a take down. From what I’ve seen so far Conner is lacking in ground game.

Also Connor seems to run out of gas often earlier on in the fights which sort of plays to Khabib’s strength.

Khabib apologists are so quaint.

Lol I like that little animation.

To be honest though I thought Diaz was winning their second fight or atleast tied. It looked to me like Mcgregor was winning the first half but Diaz was making a major come back in the second half. I felt like if that fight had continued and had non time limit Diaz would have won.

Then again I think Demetrius mighty mouse got robbed in his last fight. Should have alsl been atleast a tie.

And if Nate had brought it to the ground again...

My favorite tweet was after their first fight and Conor was talking smack about how he was winning the fight...Diaz just tweets "white belt" lol
 
McGregor is give Khabib a nap and send him to the dentist.
 
Khabib will win unless he can get suckered into a standing punching match and Connor will have to let khabib smack him around a bit. But not sure if he will fall for that again.
I feel it will be take down repeat and rinse to decision khabib.
I’m fine with either winning.

McGregor is difficult to pressure though. That karate-esque stance and a freight train of a left hand.

If i were betting, I'd put money on McGregor. I won't be surprised if Khabib pulls it out though.

Is there some looming paycheck in the distance? I doubt a McGregor vs. Mayweather UFC will ever happen. Nate's getting old. So is Connor...

I think the real motivation for Connor to win wouldn't so much be to beat Khabib, but not to screw himself out of a large purse later by going out like Rhonda did. I just wonder whether or not there's a purse to be screwed out of though.
 
Watch the Mcgregor vs Diaz 2 fight in slowed motion without audio . It’s a totally different feel for what went on. Diaz held his own but was missing a lot of those flurry shots. Which some were being scored. It’s 1-1 even for those two. That’s just going by the judging criteria and sig strikes landed. Diaz sure put himself in the right place at the right time though.

Now for khabib vs Conor . I think it all plays off of how khabib looks on his stand up. Khabib is great in the clinch and close range. Conor has some great skills at the mid to longer range. Solid at knowing distance and using it to his strengths. Accurate in and out of the pocket.

My prediction is Conor will keep khabib at bay with his kicks . He will let the hands go when available openings are there. A lot of running around the cage will go on, to avoid any close call takedowns and or clinches . Conor will want that striking range to stay. He will survive the takedowns , for the fact that they will happen late in the rounds. Fight will end in tko 4th round . For Conor as winner .
