I watched that fight, but can't remember off hand.  I had thought that McGregor would have worked on his cardio more so prior to the Mayweather fight, but he gassed out pretty early.

Khabib was pretty disappointing in his last fight against a pretty new guy (Al Iaquinta), his standup game was awful(kept his chin up). In the fight before with Michael Johnson he had problems also with his chin after taking a shot. Khabib got rocked pretty good right away and it showed by his knees giving in.
That will be a huge problem against Conor because his striking has so much power and you can't hardly see them coming.
If Conor can connect it will be over for sure, right away. His boxing skills are now on a complete different level from his last fight against a world champion boxer and if he can work more on his take down defends and his wrestling, he has a great chance to take Khabib apart.  We know Kh. is not a world class striker but his wresting is ridiculously good and will be his main weapon against C.
Just the build up with the New York bus incident makes this personal between the two and its going to be one of the greatest fights in history!.lol
My prediction: Conor wins by KO.

Conor's ground game is terrible. He has a lot of trouble getting out of being mounted and that's Khabib specialty.  Conor is going to be exposed in this fight and will retire.

man i wouldnt go anywhere near as far as calling it terrible.

alvarez is a decent wrestler and conor stuffed all his shots and then threw him off like a ragdoll at one point. Previously to that we saw him willing go to the ground with a BJJ black belt in max holloway and was actually dominating him positionally. Eddie Bravo has had him at his gym and said emphatically that Conor's jitsu is much better than people give him credit for. I think theres this perception of him being bad on the ground because he basically gave Diaz the rear naked in a panic, but the wrinkle there is he was both exhausted and rocked by a great shot from diaz.

Of course, I'm still sticking with my pick of Khabib winning. Khabib pushes the pace constantly, is probably the best wrestler in the game right now, and we all know "notorious" McG has notoriously bad cardio issues that have shown little sign of improvement.

khabib will be destroyed mentally before the fight. his ego will have him trade blows with connor and then he will lose.

HAHAHA whats your point? He landed one blow that didn't faze Floyd! HAHAHAHAHA Bet you were one of the tribal tatted crew who said "DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Conor wins in his first ever boxing match against the unbeaten best boxer of the last 25 years DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Go back to thinking your tough cos you have tribal tatts and lift weights

lol bro, he is such a powerful puncher he couldn't stop a 40 year old man who is smaller than him from walking him down all night. Name a single top 20 boxer in that weight division that floyd wouldve employed a similar gameplan against. They dont exist because floyd would never be so reckless with someone who can actually drop bombs.

as someone who has done both sports, trust me, the smaller gloves make a hyooooooge difference. Theres a reason flash knockdowns happen so often in mma, and its certainly not because they're the better punchers. smaller gloves = more velocity/less drag and less padding.

even more obvious, is the set up. watch as floyd deliberately punches to conors shoulder, instead of the head, enabling for the crowd spurring 'close call' counter uppercut, lol... thats believable   ::)
