With the biggest event in UFC history closing in, I was just curious as to who will be watching and what your predictions are.

My prediction goes something like this:

1st rd:  First 2 minutes, will be the feel out phase of the fight.  Connor will be trying to get Khabib to bite on faints, while Khabib will march forward to negate the kick game and range of Mcgregor.  After around the 2 minute mark, both fighters will have the timings down of their opponent.  Connor will begin looking for shots.  Khabib will duck under one of these shots and take Connor down to the ground and begin improving position while displaying dominant ground and pound until the end of rd.

2nd rd:  Connor will be more concerned about the takedown and be prepared to sprawl after feeling the immense pressure of Khabib the previous rd.  Khabib will go for a couple takedowns this rd and on the 3rd attempt, he will succeed, but not before Connor starches him with a nice left hand.  Khabib will end the rd similar to the fashion he did in the first rd.

3rd rd:  Connor will be extremely fatigued after having the Dagestan wrestler pounding him for over 8 minutes of ground control time, while Khabib is still  holding composure.  It is this round that I feel Khabib's ground dominance will take over.  He will achieve 3 take downs, and the third will be the end of Connor.  Connor will have hit the wall by now and Khabib will be raining down strikes until the submission opens up.  Khabib will finish the fight with either a darce choke or RNC and there will be 1 minute left in the round.  Declairing Khabib Nurmagomedov AND STILL the lightweight champion of the world.


How do you see this event going down?
Only a casual follower of the UFC - but I hope Connor loses. I know it's his selling point and everything, that I'm falling into the trap, but his trash-talking is annoying AF right now and just want to see him get clapped.

My sides. Lol
Well that was entertaining. It was nice to see Connor looking like a wet kitten at the end.
was amazing, gj khabib. As for conor and his team, talk shit get hit. Conor's legacy isn't tarnished cause everybody knows hes like ronda rousey, a one trick type of fighter. Did good, but isn't the best. Conor fought a true champion, and true champions keep their heads cool when the moment counts. As for the after fight brawl. Who cares, they all had it coming. You can't expect to bash on people and get away with it your whole life. You cant bash in a bus and hurt people, then expect to be ok after that. The retaliation wasn't needed, but it's also understandable. Dillon danis was lucky he didnt get murdered outside of the ring, as for conor himself. He signs a 6 fight extension, so he's trying to rebuild something there. Conor's legacy is about to hit the bricks imo. Gj eagle

Have to agree with that first line. Talk shit, get hit. Besides, Conor did much worse to gas up this fight.
My prediction was fairly close xD

I was happy with the fight, McTapper got everything he deserved.
Was intense but attacking conor and that other goof was uneeded... yet exciting! They arent worth it but damn lol.. khabib won and still wanted to kick more ass..


And yea who are we kidding they deserve it fuck them
