Not sure why folks acting like Conor can't ring up Khabib, Michael Johnson had him dazed a bit and his boxing ain't nowhere near the technical level of Conor's. Conor maintain that distance and put a left on him he can finish Khabib before he ever gets that takedown.

That's what bothers me the most. If he did this to a dominant wrestler (Alvarez has wrestling, but he's not an elite wrestler) like Khabib I'd give him all the respect in the world, but they give him guys who can't grapple with him.
To be fair after Eddie's fights with Pettis and Gilbert fights and the way conor looked against Mendes this fight on paper was suppose to be a nightmare on the ground for him. How he was able to stuff Eddie's TDs so easily I don't know

That's my thing with him too. He's a great fighter but his fans are insufferable, how can you be considered the best when you don't defend your belt?

he just went up a class and took that belt. how is that not more impressive than defending at 145

he has no reason to ever fight at 145 again, nobody in that division has any chance with him

mcgregor had the distance game, its hard to take down somebody who has 5 inches of reach on you

and

mcgregor is physically bigger and stronger

Yeah... I thought Alvarez would be able to bounce back and grind this out a little bit but that went south real quick

Khabib's chin is wild suspect. Still, he's a good enough challenger to get put on ice by Dana

Khabib is a huge LW, you think Conor can avoid a takedown for 5 rounds?
