I missed that news!
That would be epic fight, but outcome would be the same.
McGregor just don't have the guts and heart for Khabib.

Both Robert Whittaker and Adesanya are durable fighters and they have being to wars earlier and i am expecting another war this time around, only time will tell whether they could not take another war as both of these fighters have shown that they could take a beating and will go to any length to win the fight and hence the expectations are really high and the crowd is huge for the event.

Al Iaquinta Vs Dan Hooker is another interesting fight and both need a win and a loss could take their career in a different direction.
Tai Tuivasa vs Sergey Spivak, i am rooting for the home town favorite Tai Tuivasa to win but he usually crumbles under pressure, i will not be surprised if he gets overwhelmed by Sergey.

Adesanya seems huge for Whittaker, but height is not an exemption when it comes to a match I still think that Robert Whittaker is the better athlete than Adesanya I am sure that Whittaker would have a plan against Adesanya and will let the experience take the wheel for him,

Adesanya would sure use his advantage with his reach on leg kicks but I guess Whittaker is always ready about this, this would surely not become a big obstacle for him because he had fight bigger opponents before so Adesanya is not a bigger threat anymore, in my opinion, And wish I am not wrong with my prediction. lol

What i understand about Robert Whittaker is that he is an intelligent fighter and learn and observe the fighting styles of other fighters and he is a realist when it comes to fight approach. Since he is coming back after an injury i still have a doubt on how he will perform. Israel Adesanya on the other hand is a stand up specialist and i expect Robert Whittaker to take the fight to the ground and it will be a great battle.

^  I hope so.  Lol.  I'm rooting for him...  And I got a bit of action on him winning the bout (a little too much action, that's why I'm nervous.  Lolol).

I also watched their weigh ins and I can feel the heat hooh. Though they show some respect to each other but I can see their urge to knock out each other. Adesanya tell few words during their staredown but I can't hear it because of the crowd cheerings. I'm now geting intrigued about what he said .

Going back to the topic, I think Adesanya is doing fine. I don't see that he is nervous, he's just chillin. Probably the reason why he is not too cocky this time is because he knew how dangerous Whittaker is. He knew that he can't underestimate his opponent lol.

It could also be him being overwhelmed by the venue and the crowd. It's probably a different feeling when you are one of the reason why people would flock into that arena compared to you being an audience and watching fights on that very same building.

Even if Khabib is fighting Conor McGregor anywhere in the world there is no way McGregor is going to defeat the wrestling style of Khabib. Why would the fans want to see another fight when he did not have an answer for anything in the last fight and what makes the fan think that he could defeat Khabib.
If they fight again in Russia, it will be a huge event and McGregor will have yet another excuse for his defeat  .

This is the biggest fight in Middleweight history and i cannot predict the fight and that is what interest me to watch this fight live, Robert Whittaker is coming back after a long lay off due to injuries and Israel Adesanya is active and have never faced defeat in MMA and both are well experienced.

I feel like Adesanya really doesn't have the kind of confidence he shows when he's talking at interviews...  Watch his face off after the weigh in.  Hmmm...  Somebody could be in biiig trouble when the cage is locked.

“If McGregor wants it, then Moscow is waiting for him,”  - it would be more epic, if they fight in Dagestan. After the fight, not only will Zubaira jump in the cage, but the whole stadium would

Btw, I’ve seen in the news, that Khabib and sponsors are building “Eagles Arena” in Dagestan. This will 200% perfect place for a rematch.

Robert looks skinny from this photos. The fight is probably going to end up in a knockout and we will see them swinging from the get go. I hope this fight lives up to expectations.


Conor being Conor here again. We can say that he is not afraid of the condition like weight or location. Remember when he had to move up to fight Nate twice in the same weight class.

Great news to the fans of the notorious Conor Mcgregor and this time it’s like watching Rocky 4, he will be a guest in Khabibs homeland which is already an advantage to Khabib. I guess Conor really wants this fight badly if he agreed and signed. Imagine the pressure of fighting with the crowd against you.

Is it going to be kiss of death for one of this two fighters after this face off ?
One more day and the show begins.

^^ Right. Let Khabib finished Tony first and let's see how Dana will set up this fight.

I'm sure Dana in a hear beat will organised everything and set up a rematch. After all it will bring more money in UFC specially if it will be held in a hostile environment such as Russia. I don't know how will Conor will market this fight, I mean will he go that route attack, (attacking Khabib's wife and religion etc.)

Huge news... Khabib's dad agreed on a Conor McGregor rematch in Russia... this will be epic:

https://www.mmamania.com/2019/10/3/20897858/ufc-khabib-father-conor-mcgregor-rematch-russia-timeline-eagle-return-mma

He has given this statement:


I really hope to see the rematch. McGregor has got way too much him. I mean I get it, he punched the guy on that bar and stuff, but people are sleeping on him. He's had 3 losses, and all of them were extremely difficult fights. McGregor if anything can be said about him is that he has balls. He wants Khabib in Russia. Everyone would be scared to even dare to do that. Now he must be happy because Khabib does pretty much anything his dad says, so I can really see this happening in 2020. I just wonder if McGregor is going to have an intermediate fight.

The obvious bet is Khabib winning as usual, but people saying that Khabib will have an easy night against McGregor are underrating him. I don't consider the upset happening to be impossible. I mean we've had Ruiz and other upsets happening, why couldn't McGregor do it again? There's a chance if he fixes his cardio and is also more prone to exchange on the feet without constant treat of takedowns. He did better than Barboza, Johnson and Poirier after a big time out. If he remain active im going to give him a chance.

But for this to happen, first goes Fergusson, and that is an huge night for Khabib. I really wonder if he can beat Fergusson. In any case, it seems the rematch is in 100%.

This kid should stop taking jabs at other people while he's on the biggest fight of his career so far. This distraction just brings harm to him. A strong punch to the face from Robert during the fight should bring back his 100% focus provided he doesn't sleep from eating that punch.

Taking the UNDEFEATED AFRICAN to win the belt

Israel Adesanya: I won't make same mistakes as 'overly inflated balloon animal' Jon Jones

https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2019/10/israel-adesanya-jon-jones-overly-inflated-balloon-animal-wont-make-mistakes

Look at you, you are not different from them — you are also underestimating Adesanya . Me? I'm not underestimating Whittaker at all because I know that he is a tough fighter too. Hello? He will not become a champion for no reason lol. But in this fight, I admit that I'm in favor of Stylebender because of his versatility and showmanship.

Each one of us got our own favorites, let's just respect others' decision .
