[rabbitfistssaipailo]

Sorry what I meant was ...there was a moment when abel took him down and khabib just wrapped him up ...guy couldn't get off any strikes at all .

Man this fight is going to be crazy . I still believe that khabib is going to try and sub him early and call it a night .

Khabib needs to try and finish him if he takes him down. I know he wants to give Conor a beatdown, but don't give him another chance to try and ko you in the following round if you don't have to. The problem for Khabib though is the fight starts standing and he has to try and get it to the ground. If he wants to get it there, he better not go in rushing like he did against barboza. He needs to use patient pressure and if Conor pressures him, let Conor come and try to counter wrestle him. That's how Mendes had success taking Conor down. But going at Conor is just what Conor wants so he can counter you with his left. Khabib better not play into his game like Aldo, Alvarez, ect. Make it hard for Conor by staying patient and not giving him anything easy to counter.

As a fan of McGregor ...I'm afraid for him in this one . Honestly bro .

You have to really have good bjj and wrestling to beat khabib .

Alvarez said it best , something like Conor hypnotizes you in a way that you want to stand with him and try and hit him . Almost like he makes you feel like it's ok and then whap whap whap .

Man I dunno which I could watch it live but I just have to follow it on comments and look for videos later .

But man ...I dunno ...this is going to be crazy .

Honestly you only have to worry for him if Khabib gets him down and get's in a dominant position really. If he can hold Khabib in the guard, he should be able to stay relatively safe. Of course thats waay easier said than done. But the problem is if he lets Khabib get in a really dominant position, then he'll have real issues. And then obviously if its on the feet you don't have to worry at all cuz thats Conor's world. Unless the mma god grant Khabib with the punchers chance coming through of course...now wouldn't that be crazy lol.

The MMA gods are a fickle bunch . They laugh at us bro ...

Just imagine Tony and khabib on the same card with no hiccups .

Jesus I will be refreshing my phone in angst every minute .

Just watched the weigh in's. Some awesome staredowns. As far as Conor and Khabib, Khabib looked unfazed by Conor's tactics and Conor looked nervous imo. He hit Khabib's arm and threw a little kick at him lol. Lewis and Volkov were funny too. They almost went at it lol.

Yeah when I saw khabib come thru on the scales without stripping ...I knew ****s about to get real .

Connor just did all that to sell the fight.

Yh I guess, but idk man...felt like deja vu to me. Joanna/Rose weigh in, Ronda/Holly weigh in, Conor/Nate 1 weigh in, ect.
