WOW What can I say, it was a brutal beating from Khabib. He even hits Conor with the right and he chooses to stand out with him. His wrestling/grappling was too much for Conor to handle and was choke in the 4th and was forced to tap out. Well done Khabib.
@cellard. Agreed. This fight will also be a test on Khabib's chin. He was rocked by Michael Johnson before but Khabib continued to dominate that fight. However, Michael Johnson's punches are not as precise and fast as Conor's left.
We already know what Nate Diaz did in Conor versus Nate 1.
It will be exciting, in that Conor and Khabib will play versus each other's weaknesses.

Yes, I re-watched that fight last night and although Khabib won in fashion, in early minutes of the round he was rocked by Johnson when he tries to come in. And that's why Conor has said multiple times that Khabib is glass chin. I'm sure that if Conor hits Khabib with that left, the out come will be on his favor.

Yeah Michael Jonhson got a good punch on that fight but it wasn't enough. Let's see if McGregor can catch him with his accurate left hand and use his bodyweight for a perfect KO punch, or at least enough to take him down. He was able to take Nate Diaz down which was a bigger guy with a better chin. Khabib doesn't have the chin of a Diez or the composure of a Mayweather.
However his grappling is what scares me away to bet for the underdog and try to make some extra money. Very exciting fight nonetheless.
If I was going to bet I would bet on Tony Ferguson winning.

There's no way im betting on this one. I believe the people that think Khabib is going to run over McGregor like a monster struck and ground and pound him all night are underestimating McGregor's striking and forgetting about the fact that Khabib has very short arms and McGregor has one of the longest reach I've seen for his size.
In order for Khabib to take him down he must get really close, which means danger, and McGregor could be able to keep enough distance due superior striking and reach.
At the same time Khabib could draing McGregor's stamina if he is able to take him down.
Im not beting, just watching and enjoying the fight. Also looking forward to see Tony back.

Give me Conor by KO or TKO early on in this match!

The fight will be approx 03:00 UK time, I’m in my early 30’s now so too fucking old to throw an all nighter. Going to bed now with an alarm set for 02:30 so I can get up & watch the main card.

Conor might lose this fight. Did anyone watch the faceoff during the ceremonial weigh-ins? It appeared Conor was furiously forcing to get inside Khabib's head but it was not working.
I hope Conor will not gas out on the 2nd round or else he will be smeshed on 6 October hehehe.

Never mind all good!
I just can't believe McGregor is underdog, we know Khabib haven't lost yet, but c'mon, he doesn't have that KO power like conor.
This is due to a simple thing. Usually if you put a great striker against a great wrestler in a cage the wrestler will win. This has been proven many times. For instance, watch some old fights like Fedor vs Mirko Cro cop. Fedor, one of the best MMA fighters ever, used the same fighting style as Khabib (sambo).
Conor is great but it's going to be his hardest fight that I am sure of. He hasn't fought such a strong wrestler yet.

I'm really exited about this fight, and counting each minute until the day. Just want to see Conor back in the UFC, he was the first double chamb, and UFC theft their belts, is time for him to get them back.
My prediction is Conor McGregor by KO.

^ That would naturally be the first reaction, yeah... That it was 'staged'. Lol. But after what was said and done by McGregor, I doubt that it was. His feud vs Khabib runs very deep.
McGregor could get himself killed imo. Watch this vid.

In case you missed it, we're giving away 10 BTC* IF Conor McGregor defeats Khabib in Round 4 in the main event of UFC 229.
A good idea, although such fights rarely last 4 rounds, especially when there's a good striker with weak ground involved. So I'd say it's a safe bet for Nitrogen. This is going to last 2 rounds at most and I wouldn't be amazed if it ended in first round.
Latest update here during wigh in.
Conor again is making new scenes haha. His late and khabib somehow thinks of leaving if conor wouldn't be thwre in a few minutes

It's all scripted. Their aim is to provoke the fans of Khabib. I have made a bet in favor of Khabib, but was not very happy with the odds being offered by the betting site. The amount is quite big for me and if Conor wins tomorrow, I'll be in a lot of trouble.
Scripted for sure. Conor is probably waiting backstage for media people to give him the green light to go in. "wait a little mate, let's give them something to talk about, make them think you're ignoring him"
Op how about adding a poll on this thread so that we can vote who will likely win this fight this Saturday. I'm still having second thoughts on placing my money of Khabib, his record is impressive but Conor have the hands that that finish his winning streak. It's hard to decide. I am siding more Khabib but not 100% convinced that he can pull a win over Conor. I think its 60/40 in favor of Khabib.
Kk will do.
60/40 pretty much represents the bookies' lines. Khabib is a slight favorite. But don't overlook the intangibles here like McGregor getting into Khabib's head, the rowdy Irish crowd, something... This bout could be closer to a coinflip imho.
And McGregor should have went 30 mins earlier at the press conference and started without Khabib. Lol. That would've been fun.
