It will be slow early on, mcgregor will be very careful about exposing himself to a takedown

I agree thats the logical thing but I could see McGregor going for broke in the 1st minute or 2. Dude is rambunctious as fukk lately and I think that will translate to the fight

I doubt that, he’s a counter puncher. He’ll do everything to protect himself from a take down. This isn’t mendes, khabib will be bigger then him

Gut instinct says McGregor will have the first 30-45 seconds to try and catch Khabib with something, or else.

Khabib said he doesn't plan on just rushing in but that he will press forward. So basically what everyone expects: he'll stand and throw early as a misdirect to setup a takedown and pounce the moment McGregor drops his guard, over commits, whiffs a punch, or gives any opening to get grabbed. So it's going to be about McGregor's timing on his punches out the gate


I want McGregor to loss on a personal level as anyone. But disregarding his reach and power while relying him to gas. Plus, Kahib doesn't have a Nate Diaz cement chin. We don't know if can take a combo from McGregor. His reach will give him problem.

This is a scary match up where you have to pick your posion. Mcgregor probably won't give him inside clearance to take him down and use his reach.

It really comes down to how Khaib handles those strikes. I JUST don't trust his chin.

Kahib hasn't been tested
McGregor on a 2 year vacation
Kahib looks like he got a glass chin
McGregor probably pulls a Rondo
Kahib gonna have to stand up/initiate offense as McGregor will probably pull back and counter strike
McGregor probably has zero answers if caught on the ground

I'm leaning towards an embarrassing loss by TKO on Kahib or rear naked sub on Conor.
