If I remember Barbosa looked good in that fight too...

If Conor can avoid getting taken down it's an easy win for him

Huh? Vs Khabib?

He didn't look good at all, he got dominated and could've been pulled out on multiple occasions

I'm actually going to the fight, flying in from London to LA then to Vegas - can't wait

Got decent tickets too, just praying the card holds now

Shame Kevin Lee isn't on the card but Tony is good support if someone doesn't make it

Not sure who has the mental edge, Conor been talking shyt about Khabib and his family and they aren't biting although at the press conference next week we will truly see where Khabib is mentally. RDA tried to ignore Conor and Conor chewed him up.

The fight itself, I think it's a real 50/50 fight, but i'm leaning towards Khabib. Khabib just has to play it smart and he will dominate Conor. Conor is a southpaw too, so that TD will be there for him. Just gotta be patient.

Conor is no joke either though, people always count him out and he always seems to find a way to prove his haters wrong

Horrible for who? Khabib stand up game is not very good and connors is great. If that left hand touches khabib.its jose aldo pt 2. Now if conor hasnt been working on tdd and bjj then thats a different story but i doubt it. I just hope it goes through.

Khabib has never even been hurt by strikes in his career. He's not a natural striker by any means, but with the way people bring up this weakness, you'd think the guy has been lit up before, let alone lost via strikes, let alone lost EVER. Conor, on the other hand got taken down multiple times by a much smaller Chad Mendez, and has literally quit multiple professional fights on the ground before.

Man, Khabib stood up vs that Laquinta dude, but he's not going to try and punch with Conor. He's going to tackle him as soon as possible. Horrible matchup for Conor

Michael Johnson disagrees but go ahead and cook.
I see you bought into that Joe Rogan overzealous commentary. Khabib didn't have a mark on him after that fight and MJ only landed one solid punch that had any sting whatsoever. And he proceeded to get taken down and beat the fukk up shorty after.

fukk the commentary, fukk the audio. Look at this yourself:

Punch had him seesawing right to left there :mjgrin:

Regardless, I have Khabib winning the fight. He can definitely get caught though. lol @ thinking "he's never been caught before" means he won't get caught, especially against someone with the best hands out of anyone he's fought

Khabib is not hurt in that gif at all bruh. Only one punch landed cleanly and it had little effect.

I didn't say he can't be caught, I said he's never been hurt/wobbled, so his weakness on the feet is overstated,especially in comparison to Conor who loses on the ground regularly. Khabib has actually been hit harder by Al and Barboza and walked through it. He has always had a solid chin.

I might stay awake and watch this after the DAZN boxing card. Not an expert on UFC but gonna root for McGregor cause he is the puncher/striker and the other dude is a wrestler.
