I'm saying Khabib takes him down and abuses him. Some kind of second round finish for Khabib.

I think it depends. If McGregor keeps it standing, Kabib is done. McGregor also has a pretty good take down defense. That said, if it goes to the ground, Kabib will win. I know Kabib has rag-dolled a lot of opponents, but none are really all that great. Still you can only beat who is put in front of you. My heart says Kabib wins, but my head says I have doubted McGregor and been wrong. A lot. Wouldn’t surprise me to see either fighter win. Gonna be a good one.
 
Seems like most are picking Khabib which surprises me. i have not watched khabib fight much, but it's hard to doubt mcgregor's skill. I know khabib is a great wrestler but i think mcgregor has an underrated ground game. I think mcgregor's speed and power will get him the win. The only problem i see is if McGregor gasses quickly due to the long layoff
 
Lewis fight was crazy. Lewis looked like he was going to fall over start of second round and was doing nothing. Last round he threw a bomb and got the KO with like 10 secs left. Lewis is supposedly a contender, but i sure don't see it. He has 0 gas tank
 
Well that was certainly interesting....Announcers are blaming Khabib, but no mention of Connor injuring a bus full of people or threatening Khabib and his crew recently.
 
No excuse for that last night. Khabib should lose his belt and he and his team should be suspended for at least a year.

While I agree what Khabib / crew did was suspendable, Connor basically got no punishment for throwing a dolly through a bus window while injuring fighters who were totally innocent. Connor makes things personal and attacks peoples religions / families / cultures and what not. Before the fight I think McGregor said something like they need to be careful everywhere they step. Khabib took matters into his own hands. I blame the UFC / Dana for letting Connor get away with whatever he feels like. People were talking about Khabib being kicked out of the country and what not. Shouldnt the same standard have been applied to Connor back during the bus incident? I personally do not care for either fighter, but I feel Khabib is being treated unfairly compared to what Connor did or has done in the past. Even at the weigh in Connor slapped Khabib's arm down and while being restrained threw a kick.
 
Sure. No doubt Connor and his entire team are ********. But, the reaction in the ring that Khabib and his crew did has to be suspendable and worthy of losing his belt. Not only did Khabib attack Connor's people but Khabib's people jumped in the ring and attacked Connor after the fight. The UFC/Dana must send a message this time or the UFC will become the WWE (or whatever it's called these days).
