So I love McGregor big fan. But here are my views...
So if they stand up McGregor will easy win as proven.
However if they end up on floor Khabib will f^ck him up as proven by his abilities in wrestling.
Now Khabib is undefeated whilst McGregor has been beaten by Diaz before. Yes we won 2nd 1 but still he proved he can be defeated.
Now McGregor can fight at different classes.
In terms of height and reach Khabib has got the advantage but yet again Diaz and many fighters had height advantage and McGregor still KO’d.
Is it just me that thinks the notorious one will win and prove himself again,yes I know he hasn’t fought for 2 years at ufc but I just feel he will win again. He did decent at mayweather as well and his recent record is 2-2 which isn’t great but Tbf his loses r against floyd and the only reason he lost against Diaz was coz he came in cocky and thought he would easy win. He underestimated him but on the 2nd fight he proved himself.
Khabib has smacked ufc fighters up but people consider him sloppy and he can be exposed by McGregor lethal punches...
I think Conor will win 👊✊
So what are your thoughts?

A lot of people seem to think this is going to go one way of the other. I disagree.

This is going to be a dog fight and I think Conor chins him inside three rounds.

I've seen Khabib get wobbled by the likes of Michael Johnson who is, quite frankly, nowhere near on Macs level.
Conor in the second but he’ll wobble Khabib in the first
Trying to find an unlocked TV room at uni so me & the bois can sneak in and illegally srream the fight on the projector.

Is the caretaker really such a jobsworth?
What harm are you doing?

He'll probably want to "caretake" by watching with you

Most are fine, one fat mf who comes in randomly at 3am and asks people to show their IDs might be a problem. dude gets a high off kicking people who forgot their cards out. fook him.

I wish Khabib was able to maul him more :frown: Still happy for his win, Alhamdulillah. The person in the crowd probably deserved it for Khabib to jump the Octagon to get him.

Post-fight skirmishes, different angles.
Post-fight skirmishes, different angles.

Order of events:

1. Khabib jumped the fence into the swarm

2a. Conor tried to climb fence
2b. Khabib's teammate (1) tried to climb the fence at the same time

3. As he was being pulled down by a security guard from the fence, Conor punched Khabib's climbing teammate (1) in the face

4a. Security pulled Conor and Khabib's teammate (1) apart
4b. Khabib's teammate (2) approached to physically confront Conor for punching teammate (1) and security tried to keep them apart too

5. Khabib's teammate (3) jumped into the Octagon and punched Conor around the back of the head.

6. Everyone was pulled apart and eventually everyone was escorted out.

Connor looked drawn / beaten in the octagon before the fight, to me he never looked like winning unless he could land a hook on the chin.

A bit hypocritical how UFC used the dolly in the buis incident to promote the fight, and did nothing about the abuse being directed at Khabib by Dillon, in football I believe there are marshalls to stop that if it is racial/personal/religious.

Conor didn't have much to offer against Khabib once the early stand-up game disappeared and the latter got into his groove so it shows, perhaps, with a certain style he can be beaten. Poor Dana must be gutted his racist, divisive favourite has been whupped and also can conveniently heap all the focus on Khabib's actions post-fight. Post above is pretty much on-point on Dana's and the UFC's actions in the build-up to the fight.
