I think it depends on what level Conor is at right now from the last time we saw him in the octagon. We have no idea. Some say that he´s been training his grappling for the past two years while obviously having improved his striking with the Mayweather fight in the mean time. But then we hear how he´s still partying and drinking even during fight camp, so who the hell knows where he´s at physically and mentally. If this is the Conor who made a fool out of Alvarez in 2016 after beating Nate Diaz in a 5 round fight, I would go with him by KO. Otherwise it would have to be Khabib by late TKO.

If Khabib gets it to the mat, Conor is f****d. It's not a matter of "keeping him there". Conor CAN'T gets there at all or as said before he's f****d.Last edited by chaoticbeliever; 09-25-2018, 07:20 AM.

But I don't disagree with you Conor's KO's are against smaller cats than Khabib so that part of what you are saying could be in play here 100%. The ONLY way Conor wins this fight is if he KO's Khabib so thats his shot to shoot doe lets be real regardless if he's never KO'd a guy as big as Khabib.
If it succeeds or fails I don't think its that concretely spelled out yet, but there isn't a doubt in my mind Conor's path to victory in this fight is small & requires a margin of error thats gotta be near perfect so massive respect to Conor if he somehow pulls it off.

I think Khabib will win, but it isn't a fight I'd be willing to put any money on. There are too many unknowns. Khabib always seems to be carrying injuries, and his weight could be an issue. Connor hasn't fought in ages, and noone knows what his layoff will mean.
Prime for prime I still couldn't predict this fight. With those extra unknowns, it becomes impossible. I still edge Khabib though.
Of course, Connor could have been training like a madman during his layoff. It's not like I've seen him doing dancing with the stars or other stupid stuff like that.
The more I think about it, the more excited I am about this fight.
