Perfection. Nobody this ruthless and composed in the game today. Magnificent use of space and timing. Art.

Conor can win but he has to catch him early, if Khabib can get him down then RIP. I just hope that Khabib fights his usual fight. watching interviews so far Khabib keeps mentioning how he's going to smash Conor and crush any of his hype. Which is fair enough and I just hope he's not gotten to and fights smart, easy work then. I fully expect Conor to escalate something this week to try and get under his skin. Think the final conference is Thursday

I do think Conor isn't just turning up for a paycheck though for sure so I'm hoping he has more to offer Khabib to make it an interesting fight if he is put on his back. I'm just very skeptical.

His usual fight won't work, Conor's movement is too good and Khabib's is too one dimensional.

As i said before the reason this fight is interesting is because neither guy can fight their usual fight and win.

Its funny how Khabib is the one who doesnt smoke, drink or take drugs but it's him who looks like a junkie. He looks dead and drained Laughing

Khabib doesn't look drained at all.

Insanely hyped for this.

by Firenze Sat Oct 06, 2018 8:27 pm

they both look like typical weight cutters lol, it's normal

man I'm so hyped for Pettis vs Tony but this fight is gonna be crazy too

re-watched Eddie vs Conor and it was crazy how embarrassed he got, Conor tagged him like 5 times before he could react, I don't see it happening to Khabib but he's def gonna get tagged at some point. I think his chin will hold up though and he will get Conor down at some point. I don't think Conor will get up again.

final predictions? no backtracking ffs

IMO Khabib by unanimous decision

by RealGunner Sat Oct 06, 2018 9:05 pm

Connor I think for me

by BusterLfc Sat Oct 06, 2018 10:13 pm

Both have their chances. 2 completely different styles so whoever forces their style will win it, that's why it's so interesting. The longer the match drags on though the bigger chance for Khabib to win because of his great stamina.

For me I think McGregor got this. He has the best stand up IQ and he can finish the match in the blink of an eye,maybe I'm a bit biased because I'd like Connor to win but I think he can do it. This will surely be the biggest and most watched fight in UFC history, so I'm pretty hyped.

i think Connor stops him, round 2

they absolutely aren't lol

depending on how fast the other fights are..well, it could be slightly early, but it should be around 6 hours from now. maybe half an hour earlier or later.

by Myesyats Sat Oct 06, 2018 11:16 pm

Khabib was a fan of Conor back in 2014, congratuled him after a fight and wrote in a Facebook post that the Irishman is a dangerous man Very Happy

by Myesyats Sat Oct 06, 2018 11:18 pm

I'd love to stay up for all the fights but I just got back from work and I think I'll go to sleep now and only wake up for the main event.

by Firenze Sat Oct 06, 2018 11:18 pm

conor was respectful of him too years ago

Khabib addressed it during the first press conference

Said Conor switched up and started to talk trash

gonna pay him back tonight though

smesh...smesh everything :bow:

Holy shit they're bleeding like crazy

by Freeza Sun Oct 07, 2018 5:12 am

Holy shit what a fight

They're absolutely killing eachother

by Firenze Sun Oct 07, 2018 5:14 am

Ferguson is arguably the most entertaining fighter around

gets hit way too often tho but *bleep* I'd love to see him vs Conor or him vs Khabib, he's next in line anyway

by Myesyats Sun Oct 07, 2018 5:16 am

Shit, that was nasty
