Biggest fight in mma history imo. Nate Diaz storming off when it was announced was hilarious
Worst fight for Connor, Khabib by tko.I don't really have much excitement for this. Conor has been away so long that it takes away a lot of intrigue for me. If Conor were still fighting regularly in UFC like he was a couple of years ago at his peak, then sure, this would be amazing. But now I have no idea if the dude still has it or not. And if he does, would it take a fight or two to get sharp again. With all that time off, I just don't care as much.
When Connor fought Alvarez i really thought Eddie was going to play to his strength and wrestle him. Nick wanted to bang with Connor when he could have easily submitted him both matches (nick is a dumbass but i thought he wont the second fight as well). Khabib always plays to his strengths. Hes mauled everyone. Connor is going to get the living shit beat out him. This is an easy RL bet for some $. Khabib by first round TKO.I have to give McGregor credit for accepting the fight. Khabib's wrestling skills are on a different level. If McGregor doesn't get a quick KO I think Khabib will control the fight with relentless takedowns and GnP. Mendes took McGregor down and Khabib is a lot bigger and stronger.
One of the only advantages Conner has is that they start each round standing.
