Both will be settled and ready imo can't wait

Khabib will have him in serious trouble if he can get him down and G&P the f*ck out of him but I think he gets ko'd before that point

Me too,conor will k.o him before he even gets conor on the ground. Im not a great fan of conor atm,i used to be but his antics the past 12-18mobths have put me right off him

Am I the only one who finds it cringey that McGregor is strutting around with his two belts that he won two years ago and never defended and is no longer champion? No other former champ has been able to walk around with their old belt on fight week.

It's ridiculous! He said he almost walked away from the sport cause they stripped him. He can't be be that thick regarding this.

I like Khabib's response when asked his thoughts on this during today's presser. He doesn't care what Conor does, but is bothered that Dana acknowledged the belts at the first presser. Not surprising though. He caters to his cash maker.

I can't wait for Khabib to put an end to this. Sure McGregor could catch him coming in but as soon as Khabib gets to a clinch the fight is his from then on.

Also lol @ McGregor thinking he has a chance against even ancient Anderson.

I don’t really follow MMA, but is it not just that nobody else HAS, rather than nobody else has been able to?

The president of the UFC not only allows it, he encourages it with Conor.

If it was anyone else, you can bet your ass the void belts wouldn't be allowed at pressers.

There's been plenty of former champs fighting for another belt, there's been champs who have held belts in 2 divisions. None have done what Conor did nor had help from the UFC to do so.

The amount of (male) groupies that Conor has on social media, that probably rarely watch MMA aside from when he's fighting, make me want to vomit. Some of the stuff they spout is honestly the kind of shit you'd expect to hear from a teenage girl at a one direction concert.

But... so what? Have they been prevented from doing so?

Connor has made him billions, he'd let him piss in his pocket if he asked.

Yeah Conor has made Dana so much money he doesn't give a f*ck what he does

And he'll be spunking in his pants tomorrow night when he ko's khabib

Khabib looked a lot more confident than he did during their first face off. Can't wait.

I don't get this train of thought. Conor couldn't ko Nate who was ktfo by Josh Thompson. Khabib got nailed with a similar shot from Johnson that ktfo Poirier and took it standing.

There is no indication that Khabib can get koed by Conor. However, there is plenty of evidence of Conor being submitted... Several times.

History makes way for the educated pick being Khabib. Saying that Conor will ko Khabib is a biased, uneducated pick of how the fight will end. Not saying it can't happen, but it's a hopeful statement.

Just sayin...

Either way it's equal parts ridiculous and cringey.

Conor does not have one punch power either which gets overlooked a lot.

It depends. He did with Aldo. But with most of his opponents it a culmination of precise shots. I think I remember Mendes mentioning it wasn't his power so much as his precision.

Khabib looks to have a durable chin. I believe he will get hit by Conor. And I believe he takes it well. Wonder what is going to be running through Conor's head if he gives Khabib his best and Khabib is still pressing forward relentlessly.

Aldo jumped at him chin first which is why he went out. Could you imagine a real puncher landing similar combos on Alvarez and him not going out?

McGregor looked very rattled, Khabib was cool as fornicate.

It's a shame El Cucuy won't get the chance to fight Conor. I think he wins.

Khabib is a fantastic chain wrestler who will shoot and shoot and shoot til he gets the TD and if he takes McG to the ground he can G&P the f*ck out of him and clearly win the fight but whether it's ko or tko I really see McG winning the fight , McG needs to jab and move & sprawl aS best he can & use footwork to throw Khabib out of his train of thought as if he notices opportunities to shoot and he can get them McG be f*cked

Mendes is better at TDs anyway I think

But yeah , McG all the way for me

My point is, what makes you think he can ko Khabib, who has shown a very sturdy chin @ 155 when he couldn't stop Nate who had been knocked silly @ 155?

Can see him possibly getting Aldo'd whilst going in for a TD

Don't think it's so much one shot power with McG as he's not a punch like a horse kinda fighter but his accuracy and timing is not to be f*cked with

Was there any indication that the likes of Poirier, Aldo and Alvarez would be knocked out as easily as they were by McGregor? There might be no evidence that Khabib is a knockout waiting to happen, but there's plenty of evidence of McGregor knocking out fighters who definitely weren't a knockout waiting to happen.

You could also argue that there's no evidence that Khabib can avoid being lit up on the feet because he hasn't fought anyone with hands as good as McGregor's.

I'm not saying one argument is right and one is wrong, but it works both ways. And Khabib taking a shot from Johnson that knocked out Poirier is sort of irrelevant IMO because Johnson and McGregor are different people.
