Mcgregor has been out a long time for a fighter at that level.
He should have had a easier warm up or two first.
Khabib will win easily purely down to him being a active fighter. Would much rather see this fight in a years time when mcgregor is back in full swing.

Connor only has to catch him once mind.

Good point, but hes fighting a very clever fighter. Cant see another Jose Aldo happening but it is possible

Stylistically this is a dream match up. Connor took the time out because realistically in the HTC there was nobody left to fight on his level. (That and the mayweather money was a lottery win). Connor has a 4 inch reach advantage. Khabib is undefeated but has a weaker list of opponents than connor.

Time away from fighting isn't always a bad thing in martial arts. Being more active means you are adding more miles to the clock.

Very even fight and will surely be the biggest of the year.

If Conor can stifle khabibs take downs then he’s the winner for me. There’s no way khabib can outbox Conor.

Easier said than done mind.

I still think Conor will do it. Khabib is too emotional already about it. God help him when Conor trashes him in the conferences.

Aldo all over again.

What’s the chances of seeing Connor vs Dillashaw at some point ?

Khabib will beat him. Conner is not on his level

Same here, a proper 50/50 fight. If Khabib gets Conor down it could be a real long night and a bad beating.

If Conor catches Khabib coming in then it’s lights out.

I wouldn’t be surprised by either result if I’m honest.

Dillashaw has his number mate. I was totally confident it’d go the same way again. TJ is a killer!

Mcgregor caught Diaz clean plenty of times and he still got up, looking forward to this Fight, should be a cracker.

That is an interesting point but Diaz is a guy who walks around at nearly 200lbs

Diaz exposed Conor’s ground game, personally think it’ll be a easy night for khabib who gave a beat down to the best striker in the division in barbosa
