UFC 229: Khabib vs. McGregor - Page 2

you saying that khabib should fight like woodley?

basically yes, fight ugly and patiently

I disagree Conor is superb at picking apart passive opponents, he is not Wonderboy.

Khabib simply has to pressure Connor into the cage and aggresivly force a clinch, thats how he takes most people down in the first place

Conor is pretty good fighting backwards against aggressive opponents who don't have granite chins like Nate

would be sweet to see mcgregor submit khabib.

what would be funny to happen is:

Khabib completely destroys McGregor
and Pettis completely destroys Ferguson....

so then we should theoretically have McGregor basically be out of the lightweight belt bout and he d either have to finish his trio with Diaz, fight for featherweight belt or fight Ferguson for title shot


also if Khabib wins there is a good chance he will retire undefeated, unless GSP fights him for a super fight

just watched a vid w rogan and schaub - schaub says he learned from khabibs coach that khabibs intention is to retire after conor win OR superfight gsp

also conor brought in dagestan wrestlers to train with him

funny, but that would suck big time. i hope mcgregor wins and ferguson wins. as fans that's the best outcome for future match ups.

McGregor vs Ferguson would be such an epic fight, actually I think its a harder match than Khabib, Ferguson is quite similar to Nate but better in almost all aspects

If Khabib's chin is as durable as Tony's or Nate's, Conor's in for a heck of a fight. I hope his cardio extends past the six minute mark this time ffs. Every fuckin fight starts to fade at six minutes for Conor, starts to open his mouth and becomes increasingly sluggish.

and arms on his hips. lmao.

His cardio was quite good in the Mayweather fight though. And his cardio hasn't really been tested at 155, it seems to be covered. Then again the later the fight goes, the higher the chances Khabib is lying on him all the time, which means further exhaustion

exactly what i was saying for more than 2 years now .
Unfortunately Fuerguson gets old now... but he is / was a real monster and underestimated by so many ....

Guy is basically Nate Diaz 2.0.
He can do everything Nate does in a much more dangerous way.

I believe Tony is the hardest Matchup for Conor MC Gregor.

Khabib the second hardest since he is basically similar to a better Version of Chad Mendes.
Chad did outwrestle Conor big time but then gassed and basically became a punching bag who was to tired to even move anymore

in the first Nate fight Conor had staph infection and was on antibiotics 2 weeks before the fight, obv he was gonna have problems with his endurance, besides he threw like 165 strikes or something like that in less than 8 minutes, 2nd Nate fight he did got tired but recovered nicely after 1 round.

That would be hype. I would be laughing if mcgregor got him with an armbar or something. does Mcgregor have any sub wins? maybe a couple rear naked chokes?

I'd like to see Conor and Nate both win their fights and fight for the lightweight belt. That would be ideal but I don't think Nate will beat Dustin unfortunately. I think it is much more likely that McGregor beats Khabib than Nate wins his fight.

After thinking about it I also think a bunch of money is going to come in on conor last minute; especially if the odds swing more towards favoring khabib
