Khabib vs Coner McGregor!

[soulforge]

So who do you think is likely to win guys and why?

 

[speed dawg]

Khabib probably. I'm only going by history and because McGregor has allegedly been goofing off with his posse for a year. Usually how it goes. Seems like your MMA shelf life is usually short and McGregor has already had his.

Going for khabib

 

[meldiamond]

Khabib likely. He's hungrier, healthier and his ground game is phenomenal. Rumor is he was wrestling bears as a teenager.

Conor is terribly coked out at this point in life and the money UFC is giving him is table scraps compared to his reported 9 figure payday against mayweather.

There's been almost no trash talk or build up either which is bad for the UFC.

The fight promotion has been a nothing burger as far as entertainment value goes so far.

I want to like mcgregor after taking a photo like this and showing some respect for a truly great leader. OTOH, he's a cokehead and acts like a monkey in public most of the time. So, I can't root for him.

At least there's some fight buildup but it's coming very late. Isn't conor supposed to be one of the biggest money makers for the UFC? If so, why wait until a couple of weeks before the fight to start up promotional work? See vid below.

I watched the Khabib v Conor McGregor press conference.

I really found McGregor to be abit of an embarrassment.. He was a loud mouth drunken coked up fool.

This man has not an hounarable bone in him.. And a bad example to the youth.

Fighters are dumb as sh#t. Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz are fighting AGAIN! These guys are 50!

RJJ got knocked out cold 10x in a row. He fought two decades past his prime.

McGregor has nothing left to fight for. He made $100 million embarrassing himself against Mayweather. He'll snort every last dollar he makes.

I put my money on McGregor. Think about it, he is making a come back, he chose a peace of meat that he knows he will beat. Something about these so called "Russians" you must know, if the name sounds retarded, like Khabib that means they are from north caucases, muslims. They all talk sh1t and parrot, but when it comes down to it, they deflate. That sh1t about Khabib that he wrestles bears as a kid, that's all bull sh1t. You don't wrestle bears, even a small bear will rip you apart and sh1t on you.

Look at best moments of Khabib

Now at best moments of McGregor

Are you kidding me? McGregor wins.

This is about the dumbest post I've ever read on sosuave. You, sir, are an idiot.

 

[backseatjuan]

You are entitled to your own opinion, let's honor your entitlement. But I am putting my money on McGregor, I live by making bets on sport, I'm a professional gambler, I gamble on soccer, and from time to time on other sports. This time I am putting my money on McGregor. You can put your money where your mouth is, and make a bet on Xabib.

I stick to my position. Khabib has a slight edge. This fight is becoming more intriguing as time goes on. There's a little bit more of a buildup and more predictions are coming in. I welcome the trash talking as it makes the fight itself more enjoyable to watch.

Why I'm leaning Khabib.

1. conor's gas tank is awful. He gets worse and worse as a fight goes on.
2. conor's been out of the octagon for nearly two years. In the UFC, that's like 20 years compared to other sports.
3. conor's been doing nothing for over a year since mayweather. Aside from coke binges and getting sh#tfaced drunk.
4. what is conor's motivation? With a $100 mil payday from his mayweather fight, it doesn't matter whether he fights again, much less wins. He has no motivation.

5. Khabib conversely, like most mma fighters makes almost nothing for fighting inside the cage.
6. Khabib has fought 4 times since 2016, this will be his 5th. He's far more active than mcgregor in mma in recent years.
7. Khabib is much stronger and bigger than any opponent Mcgregor has ever faced before. Mcgregor's not fighting an anorexic, or a 5'4" featherweight. Conor will be the smaller, weaker man for sure in this fight. And his cardio will be far worse, if previous patterns hold.

If conor is going to win this fight, he's going to have to win early. He's got a puncher's chance, that's for sure. He's the more talented and skiller striker. He has good technical tdd. But he's fighting a much larger and stronger opponent than he ever has before.

If Khabib gets sloppy, he can get tagged and lose the fight. If Khabib sticks to his game plan and takes mcgregor down, mcgregor will be in a lot of trouble.

I hope it's a great fight though. If conor can remain standing past the first or even the second, it should be a lot of fun. If he can't, he's going to look like roadkill by the end of the fight.

I like this!

This will be very interesting fight! I like Conor, I wish him good luck!

 

[Pandora]

less than 48 hrs to go...I think Khabib got this

 

[soulforge]

Why did Khabib drop out of the pre fight press conference??

He left early becuz he had to start weight cutting and the audience was not very friendly.

I don't blame him.. Conor was late.. Why sit there and just expose yourself to a bunch of negative idiots!

 

[Von]

I will go with Connor.

He's Irish... you don't piss of an Irish.. no matter out of shape he is he will find a way to punch you.

No idea who Khabib is.

Khabib does have everything to win
Connor everything to lose

 

[Xenom0rph]

I'll be cheering for Conor. Love him or hate him, he's good for the sport. I've been wanting to try his whiskey brand Proper Twelve but can't seem to find it in any store.... Lol.... "True Irish whiskey" and he claims it'll dethrone Jameson. I want to see for myself. So far the reviews for Proper 12 have been horrendous.

McGregor is smart enough to understand that he is an entertainer first and a fighter second. That's why he was paid $100 million to fight Mayweather. UFC is essentially WWE with real fighting.
