Topic: UFC 229: Khabib vs McGregor Prediction and Info Thread - page 9. (Read 3218 times)

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.

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.

But if he wins spectacularly on 6 October, will you like him again? hehehe

@darklus123.  Khabib does not want to be around Conor because his mind is on his weight cut which is always stressful for him in every weigh-in of his fights.

There was also an interview from his father that said Khabib might move up to welterweight after his first title defense. He is too big for lightweight.

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

Good to see that he answered like a human. 

At the UFC 229, the former two-division champion Conor McGregor is making his much anticipated return to Octagon, but not as a spectator but as a fighter. He will be squaring off with his fan boy Khabib Nurmagomedov, in their latest press conference in which Dana White (current president of UFC) was present Conor clearly said that Habib was fan of him.

The feud ignited when Conor threw a guardrail on the bus carrying different UFC fighters, but the reason he did was none other than Khabib himself. Conor went to target Khabib and in result many others were also injured.

On September 20th, both fighters made it official that they will settle this once and for all in the octagon and make it clear who is the boss here.

In my prediction Conor would be standing tall at the end of event.

I found a complete list of Fight Card of UFC 229, hope it tell the people that McGregor vs Khabib is not the only big fight happening at UFC 229, we do have other battles to look forward to.

^  And that.  He's trying to sell the event guys.  Enjoy it.  

But the good thing for him is it all works in his favor.  He gets to play the mind games, he gets to sell the event, and he gets to sell his new whiskey.  Lololol.

And there was a quick moment in that press conference when he was being himself when he was making a comment about Diaz and Poirier on UFC 230.

It's all about promotion and creating drama.  I doubt this guy really acts like this normally, hes just putting on a show to sell tickets.  Just like those "fights" at the weigh ins, its just so ridiculous what they do to hype boxing and ufc matches.  Reminds me of the WWE.

The Irishman has not fought competitively since losing to Floyd Mayweather in a multi-million dollar boxing match in August 2016. That gives a disadvantage to McGregor I believe.

Khabib looks determined though. Going to be a tough one. I predict for Khabib to win this match.

Even at the press conference, I think McGregor was quite over-confident.

For the moment fingers crossed and looking forward to watch Khabib vs McGregor Live online on PPV. I got it dead cheap at $17.65 via UFC Philippines website.

^ Then you prolly still don't get how McGregor his camp think.  His bs erratic behavior before fights is just that, bs.  That's what he wants to make you think.  He's toying with his opponents the same as Ali did in boxing.

And it's really brilliant.  I mean if you were duped into thinking that it's all 'over confidence' then I guess it's working.  Lol.

I watched this video and I don't know if I'm going to take this guy seriously or the dude is completely nuts. But I do like what he see on Khabib's uncanny sort of reaction during their face-to-face. Khabib seems standing there with no reaction whatsoever when Conor keeps on talking on his face. That is the complete opposite of Khabib, so the that round goes to Conor.

Yeah for the Aldo fight Connor really seemed to get under his skin during the first promo tour and in the run up to the main event, really quite impressive mind games.

I can still remember Aldo's face when Connor grabbed his belt at the press conference in Ireland. The guy probably knew he was being used by Dana and UFC to make Connor the new poster boy and it seemed like it was on his mind like "Am I being set up to lose?"

I mean even their ring entrances were chalk and cheese. Connor all hyped up and motivated, Aldo standing quietly in his corner staring at the ground.

Can't wait for this one

Yes, I agree. He can do all the trash talked because he has the tools to back it up.

I remember Reggie Miller referencing Michael Jordan's trash talking in the NBA. He says in the line that if its someone other than Michael Jordan, he would just laugh if off. But knowing Jordan, he was psychologically affected because Michael will just toy with them all night long.

McGregor is on the same breath. Just look at Aldo's reaction and how Conor ruin him in seconds. And Aldo was not the same anymore after that one punch.

I have been watching odds from oddshark most of the time. Oddshark is getting datas from  Betonline, Sportsbetting, bet365 and betfair. After collecting they compile all odds for comparison.

Apparently,

Conor McGregor +130
Khabib Nurmagomedov -160

the UFC229 Bad Blood is intead entertaining.  I like the part where Conor said " He is not a pure champion. He got his belt competing an unnamed fighter. Now the real champion is back"

McGregor always trashtalking but somehow he always back it up, but let's see with this match against Khabib. I still believe McGregor can win this fight.

McGregor will lose. I believe that his break was way too long. Plus I don't like him anymore. He is more a showman than a real fighter.

Where do you get your official odds from? The leading sportsbooks have always been the source of the odds because they are setting up a market for bets on each market.

Also, I reckon the sportsbooks' research are more official than your official oddsmakers because they will lose money if they predict them wrong hehehe.

Sup guys, here's another round of vids.  Lol.  The first one is obv a promotional (read:  hype) video, but I still recommend you guys watch it.  It's entertaining as f*ck.

The other two are really informative and could help you decide on who to make a bet on, I guess...  Enjoy.

The odds is so high though for McGregor, i think it's really worth to bet him. Irish obviously 100% cheer for McGregor. I still believe McGregor can win this match.
