The birth of a meme
George Constantinou 😂
The mic shadow looks like he spilled water all over his shirt lol
It's all the truth pouring out his mouth...btw +1😁
Yeah lmao! I'm gone give you that one ..he needs a bib
Chael Sonnen is THE best solo non live commentator of mixed martial arts. Sharp as a razor. Never stutters or says umm.
William U people don't like the truth. They like stories that make them feel better
7:30 stutters a bit 😁
SiTV you'd make a good fight analyst
Josh From Jersey Outdoors 6.52 lol
4:28
But the question remains... Just how good is Conor McGregor?
Gocha Avtandilashvili absolute shit
What's with all the J.C avatars om CZcams
Oh yeah yeah
@@RANDOMGUY-rm6ih good one
The REAL question is, where does Kevin Lee fit into all of this
McGregor's resume is actually really great, being the first to hold two belts in different weight classes, fought in three weight classes, has wins over Holloway, Aldo, Poirier, Alvarez, Diaz, Mendes etc. Never turned down a fight on short notice, he's a finisher and can anyone bring up a McGregor fight that was boring?
Hi T1000 Why do u think that
Roy Keane u kidding me? Holloway, mendes, poirier, Eddie, Nate, aldo.. I’d say that’s pretty damn good.. imagine adding khabib in that list as well if Conor wins
Roy Keane: Umm geeze idk maybe because he's the first fighter to hold two belts at the same time, finished close to 90% of his opponents n gas W's over Holloway, Aldo, Poirieir, Diaz, Alvarez, Mendes etc
Holloway Poirier Aldo Nate Eddie and GOAT Dennis Siver
But then you look at who he’s lost to
the best thing about conor is that he never ducked anyone and never pulled out or even missed weight, he fought everyone in his time when he was a active fighter, I wonder how much he has improved since late 2016
alcott devalte even his style in the cage. He is as much an entertainer as a fighter. So fun to watch. Was shocked he did so well against mayweather. Khabib is fucked.
alcott devalte “You are not a true champion unless you defend your belt” -Conor Mcgregor
Never ducked anyone? Khabib Nurmagomedov?
RondoStyle9 he’s going to fight him October the fuck are you on about?
RondoStyle9 he’s fighting khabib next u dipshit
Yeah the Alvarez fight was insane. He made him look like an amateur for the entire fight.
callmewisdom that’s what i said. Watched that fight with a few of my friends who are very casual fans. They were making fun of Eddie and saying he sucked and was a complete joke they didn’t really know who he was. I myself was aware of how much of a fucking warrior Eddie was/is but then i also realized.. wait... Conor really just did make him look like a complete jabroni..
WhereTheFuckIAm? And khabib made mctapper look like shit😂
Really well constructed narration, he's such a great story teller. Love his slow pace and intonations. And he's a great fighter. Always a pleasure to listen to and to watch
I would like to see a live stream with Chael with live chat.. That would make for some great content..
That would be fucking brilliant.
NORTHWEST BLESSED
he's had live chat before and got mad when he realized RIP Callen was a joke
Naaah. No chat. So many trolls. I’d be better if he let like 10-20 specified ppl in chat only to evoke good convo’s
The reason Conor is able to fight chin up / hands down is bc his simple reaction time and predictive anticipation of his opponent next move is far superior to most. Same w Anderson
Most MMA predictions in the comments .... “Khabib will win unless Conor wins.....”
Dre Darcey I just did that too lol oops
Haha yeah, I hope khabib gets Connor down for first 4 rounds then gets clipped in the 5th just to flip the script on the standard prediction
Crunch Attack! Would be different but he Conor gets so gassed by the 3rd round he doesn't have that same killer left power.
DJ KilCo At 155 i see him not gassing for 4
I'll be clear then....
Khabib will win. Easily.
I’ve always enjoyed watching Chael fight, but I really enjoy the commentary. Great job.
Man, Chael your videos keep getting better and better
I really love when chael says "I dont know" because hes smart enough to say he doesn't know not like alot of mma fans
MMA math is impossible
Ppl always try to discredit McGregor by saying Max was too young, Aldo was a fluke, Poirier was at FW, he lost the rematch against Nate etc. They even bring up the fact that he got outboxed by the greatest boxer of all time who's undefeated
Hi T1000 Poirier was at light weight?
Hi T1000 Floyd isn’t the GOAT of boxing ffs, the fact that pillow hands managed to put mcgregor away is telling. Floyd and McGregor were 2 weight classes apart. Someone like GGG or Canelo would destroy Conor in 2rds.
Edie was shot long before he got in the UFC - wars with Chandler, got finished 3 times before that. Cowboy chopped him down
When Conor got to Aldo and Chad they both were not the same after those wars. to get the shot Conor fought Denis Siver instead of Edgar
Porier was killing himself to make 145, so was Conor. Conor smoked him, but MJ did the same to him in more brutal fashion in 155
Max was to green, I’m not saying Conor would lose now, but it will be a different fight.
Conor’s most impressive performance was coming back in rematch against Nate and going 5 full rounds. the strategy to beat Diaz was always the same - chop the legs, take him down and control. If Conor has better leg kicks or control based wrestling style Nate wouldn’t be a problem.
People also forget that it was A BOXING MATCH
Jason Gabagoop: Fact is McGregor schools Mayweather, GGG, n Canelo in an mma fight. Mayweather was older than everyone he fought except for Oscar, Mosley n Marquez so your argument about Floyd being older goes out the window.
Eddie beat Pettis, Melendez, Justin, n RDA but was "shot" once he fought Conor? Sounds convenient enough lol.
So Aldo was killing it for a decade yet got old once he fought Conor? Sounds convenient!
Poirier was killing himself at 145? Have u ever seen McGregor weigh in at 145?! Poirier never looked that bad yet still got smoked in 1 round.
djbobbydjable not when he fought conor dude
wow this was very refreshing. This kind of content comes very natural to Chael, great stuff.
Love your insights Chael! Always entertaining!!!!
He’s the best Conor kod all four of the main and co main event. Stephens verball tko
Yeah ik i like how Stephens said he'd give Conor the hardest fight out of everyone. Then gets KO'd by the same guy Conor KO'd
jeremy arroyo and he pushed the referee for the Alvarez/Porier fight too
Hahaha verbal tko
cauleyKOTK fighting doesn't work like that... Just cuz a guy beat the guy that beat the guy...
cauleyKOTK
Joe Duffy beat Conor in 30 seconds, James Vick Ko'd Joe Duffy. That must mean James Vick is way better than Conor...
Oh wait.. it doesn't work like that
Chael is so awesome! Always a sub and thumbs up. Keep up the great vids!
You.... hands down give the BEST analysis in the game! I enjoy ever video...THANKS
I just realize how inteligent is Chael... And he´s nice too...
To be honest, I see Conor knocking Khabib out.
Easily. Conor is the biggest threat to Khabib at LW. Not the other way around.
Who cares who will end up being right, I just wanna see this fight. Arguments can be made for either side and picking one is still a gamble in the end.
Conor won't fight Khabib, bad matchup for him
considering khabib is a better wrestler than anyone else in the division, i would say conor is a bad matchup for khabib, because khabib does get hit when he stands up and if anyone is gonna make him pay, its gonna be conor.
Shadowvax
Especially after how much better Conors striking would have become after all that training for Mayweather - something I don't seen anyone talking about.
Did he just say he's never seen Alvarez hurt ? 😂 He gets wobbled almost every contest
I love listening to Chael.. he is so insightful and his analysis is always spot on.. nobody understands the whole fight game better than him
This is Chael's best video in my opinion. Just a great introduction and buildup to convey a great point.
Chael “I stare in the distance and talk to myself for my podcasts” Sonnen
He's only as good as he is because Artem showed him dey way
Alexander Vaughan the guy scared of khabib ok
All hail our dark lord and saviour; the Tyrannosaurus Goat - Artem "Choo Choo" Lobov.
Joseph Handibode Khabib needed his whole entourage against the *GOAT* just to make it fair.
you mean da wae
Ebola punch
Great insight Chael!
I can listen to Chael talk and give opinion and insight all day...he's good
Conor McGregor has the skills, the confidence and wittiness!
Sounds like a C.V
Nobody can deny that. But he also has almost zero ground game. Which is why he has 3 losses on his record.
and the handed him his ass second time around
I wouldnt say "tap like a chicken" that rear naked choke was done for. Would've only gotten tighter.
uh nope he didnt...he spent most of the time running around looking at the clock when he faced Nate the second time...trying to get a decision victory ....so much for "no one can take that left hand".
Your comments are really good, Chael.
Chael analysis is always captivating. The most eloquent man in fight-sport.
I can listen to chael all day. Nothing but facts. Not bias and could speak clearly. Subs +1
2:03 to hear him say "just how good is conor mcgregor" ..
Conor is undoubtably one of the greatest talents we have ever seen. The only issue is how self destructive he is. Conor has the ability to beat anyone if he is 100% sober an focused, he just hasn't been like that since Aldo.
Nah, his most impressive fight ever was against Alvarez, 3 fights after Aldo. Even after Conor lost to Khabib, he still showed his brilliance again a short 3 months later against Cerrone and finished him in 40seconds. Conor's problem is he took 2 full years off from MMA. Before that he was taking fights every few months. And his first fight back after 2 years away? Against the LW goat.
Chael sonnen one of the very few people i actually like to listen too awesome guy respect
Great talk by Chael 👍
And for Conor to have done it in 13 seconds.. Aldo was literally one of the GOAT. Then to go 10 rounds with Floyd after what he did to the entire FW UFC Division WTF. He’s legit whether you want to hate on him or not
Jeremy Stillwell Did you not see his last fucking fight? Aldo is still a beast. Conor’s just better.
Sheikh Kristaffa of Tallastine we’re picking hairs, here. He fought fucking Floyd and went 10 Rounds regardless man. That’s some Bruce Lee vs. Rolls Gracie type shit man. In the contrast of the dudes whole career he’s on track to being the GOAT. Its a big IF but if he beats Khabib, GSP, and finishes with Holloway that’s some grounds for GOAT
Subsonscious Floyd carried him for 10 rounds to create some sort of 'fight' and value for money, when he got told to finish him..he did. It could have been over in the first round...be honest
Sheikh Kristaffa of Tallastine If you watch that fight a few times as I have, you will see that many times both of them held back on open shots.
GhostlySkyy I understand that.. but that happened. Most guys that wouldn’t have ever happened. Just having that on his resume IMO helps in his favour towards an eventual GOAT title possibility. Of course, he has a LOT more work to do to get to that (ie. fighting past champs, staying dominant within multiple weight classes against opponents with great records themselves. A win over Khabib would only be a notch for him towards GOAT status. Next I’d like to see another Holloway annihilation and possible GSP superfight.
Conor’s takedown defense has improved quite a lot,not saying he can stop khabibs but watch Diaz 2 and the Eddie Alverez fight,it was quite impressive
Paul Reilly exactly. And now he had two more years of grappling.
Both more defensive wrestlers than they are offensive wrestlers my man, we are talking about a different animal
Kurtis Ellesmere i agree
Diaz was offensive and same for eddie but conor controls the pace. IF khabib chases him the same way he did barboza, a sweet KO
Khabibs wrestling on on a different level.
Greg way to end the video... best commentary I’ve seen on these two this far... we got to see this fight!
Really really keen to watch the fight!
This is a genuinely fascinating fight because there is no clear path to victory for either guy. Conor has legit 1 punch KO power, but Khabib has shown that he can take a shot from heavy hitters, Michael Johnson and Edson Barboza come to mind, and then dominate. Conor also has a good chin, so I doubt Khabib's ground and pound will trouble him, but all 3 of his losses are by tap out, so who knows. No disrespect to Nate and Chad, but their ground games are not Khabib's and the ground is where Conor is weakest. I'm predicting Round 2 KO for Conor or Round 4 submission for Khabib. Now that I've said that though Conor will probably win by Round 1 submission ^_^ joking aside this should be amazing.
Robman275 I hear what your saying but I think Khabib is way too one dimensional and Conors ground game isn't even bad, he was just gassed out
Maybe but that's easier said than done. Conor has never faced a grappler like Khabib and Khabib has never faced a striker than Conor. Also both guys have very unusual styles. Khabib has that very upright, almost leaning back, standup stance that would make Conor's front kick and punches harder to land and possibly less impactful, likewise Conor's unique strikes could put Khabib to sleep mid takedown and at least make him think twice about his constant forward pressure style. Another thing to consider is size. Khabib is bigger overall, which will benefit a ground fight, but Conor has longer reach and when you consider the round always starts on the feet, that's a huge plus for Conor. So no I don't think there's a clear path for either because they are so unusual and unmatched in their respective styles.
Id say khabib has never faced a striker nearly as good as conor. Edson doesnt have the distance control. If Khabib doesnt get a 1st rd takedown hes getting violently KOd. But if he gets one, he will gas Conor out and smash his face in, its all about the 1st round! I cant wait!
Mason England, I disagree about Khabib being one dimensional. As we saw in the Edson Barboza and Al Iaquinta fights, his stand up is developing. I know he's not on Conor's level of striking, but his stand up is improving. Also, even if Khabib is one dimensional it's a hell of a dimension! And yes I agree Conor's ground game isn't that bad, but it is his weakest point and his losses are all by submission. Thing is though Khabib doesn't look for submissions as often as expected. That could actually work in Conor's favour. If Khabib wants ground and pound and ragdoll rather than go for the finish, that my come back to bite him, so you may actually be right.
Look at BJJScouts video on mcgregors takedown defense. When timed right he stops takedowns in the middle of the octagon very easily. However God save him if khabib gets him on the fence, if conor wins this he avoids the fence at all costs and takes him out in the centre.
Conor beat Holloway, Poirier, Aldo,Mendes,Díaz and Álvarez
He beat a young Holloway, fw Dustin, short camp mendes and overated alavrez would love to see him rematch Holloway and Dustin though
I Love Chelsea Fc Conor wins all them again, specially at 155 he Is just too clean for them. unless Ring Rust has its way with him.
I Love Chelsea Fc AND "Overrated" Álvarez Was beating Poirier even landing Big shots on Poirier
Renato Arauz nah alvarez is overated asf got lucky against RDA
Renato Arauz too clean for all of them? He's avoiding Tony because Tony won't play conor's game and is too unpredictable. Conor is good at reading his opponents quickly in the first Rd but with well rounded strikers who mix is up he won't be able to do it
the god chael speaks.keep rocking! love your voice.stay strong brotha!
I just love to listen to Chael talk
Left hand from hell Nate the only guy that's took the shot and was still in the fight and was never koed that's how good he is👍💪👊
Sal Sanchez well max Holloway went to decision with him, but Conor did mess up his knee during the fight
Shows how durable he is
Sal Sanchez hell yeah.. Nates that dude
Are you implying that Max Holloway isn't a beast?
Country Mac he beat that man with a half a leg so that Show how how good max is😮
Yeah he asked for a rematch because like you said he dominated the division for 10 years. Jose is about the only guy not to get an immediate rematch after losing his title despite having one of the best records. That's the only he "whined" about not Conor sitting out holding the belt hostage then vacating the belt without ever defending it.
greatbudda Conor didn't rematch Aldo because he didn't fight in that division again. If Conor had fought at featherweight again it would have been against Aldo.
Aldo hasn't been anywhere near the same fighter since. I don't care about the Stephen's body ko. He's still not recovered imo.
leerey14 No one ever does from a knockout like that. Makes you realize that you're just a mortal.
Chael you have grown on me over the years ... absolutely brilliant
I could listen to Chael talk all day
what I love so much about this sport is you can always get suprised
Man this is so entertaining after a year of "Just how good is....?" !!! I feel like I'm in history class.
Great commentary. Very intelligent.
Chael sonnen you were one of my favourite fighter you were brutal with your ground and pound your ground game was awesome... you are a legend
Chael for President 2020
dana white
I support this
And prime minister of England at the same time. Vote chael

J W I’m English mate not British
Connor beat them all in their primes. He is the greatest.
TheGuyWithTaste Dan 🤔
Max and Dustin were noobs when he beat them. Mendes had no camp. Aldo and Eddie he beat fair and square. Both of them were beaten mentally before they stepped in the Octagon. Connor is great but FAAAAAR from the greatest. GSP, Matt Hughes, DJ, Anderson Silva, John Jones > Connor.
That makes Joe Duffy the GOAT, cause he beat Conor.
AA Qayan Another great Irish fighter thanks
GSP was koed by matt seria but I agree GSP is one of the greatest , DJ has never fought anyone , Matt hughes didnt fight as high level competition as conor . so Anderson > GSP> conor > the rest .
thumbs up chael...bout time someone brings it up
Well put!
More importantly, just how good is Chael?
Balanced Chaos. Not quite as good as Anderson Silva or Jon Jones or DC or conner McGregor:)
He's good at being fat
The p stands for perfection
Curtis Turner acc it stands for icon
I’d personally like to hear him say ....’P stands for talent’
Amazing! I always wondered about Charles honesty, simply because he’s trying to entertain. But this is spot on! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Chael always been an interesting fella. Love listening to his opinions. Does not mince his words
Yea this fight will be one for the ages. And will either cement Conor as one of the greatest to ever do it.. OR it will drastically lower ppls respect for him as a fighter and show ppl that khabib is really no fucking joke.. EITHER WAY, I can not fucking wait to see this fight
Conor is already one of the greatest to ever do it. definitely in top 5. if he beats Khabib he's the greatest 155er of all time
Wesley Bynum I never had respect for mctapper because I could see right through that bullshit. Khabib is the best 155 on the planet! Not because he beat Mcbitch. Mctapper was an easy figh for him. One more to go Tony's next
No, the question is, just how good is Al Iaquinta???
A.S.M. Junayed better than Mctapper 😂
@@RANDOMGUY-rm6ih what?😂
Where does Kevin Lee fit into all of this?
I could listen to Chael all day
You absolutely nailed it
Rock , paper, scissors, chael. .... You could summarize all mma math with rock paper scissors.
A>B. B>C , doesn't equal A>C, in fact it's usually A>B>C yet C >A
Conor McGregor's third fight in the UFC was Diego Brandao.
Chael i love your explanations. Aldo as a challenger is def refreshing, i don't think it could be put any better
We are going to find out . can't wait
He's one of the best strikers in the UFC. Great reaction time, phenomenal precision. The best at mind games. Besides that, there's not alot there.
StrykesV3 StrykesV3 True But that‘s still a lot tho and might Even be enough for Khabib
StrykesV3 StrykesV3 🤣
what a retarded comment, Conor is world class at everything but it's overshadowed. He is in the 1 percent but there are other guys in the 1 percent that are even better at some aspects of fighting. He built his style around striking but that doesn't mean he isn't good at anything else, other elites have testified to that.
Supreme Commander Thor
Please, you're embarrassing yourself. He's not "World class at everything".
He's a Brown Belt in BJJ. No submission win ever. I believe he averages something like 0.50 takedowns a fight. Only something like 5 takedown in his UFC career.
Supreme Commander Thor if you think connor is world class in jujitsu or wrestling you'd obviously never been to a grappling tourney. Most of the guys in the UFC are good grapplers but they aren't great grapplers. Except guys like Damian Maia, rohnda or lesner or going back bj penn. Those guys and girls are world class not connor. Connor is a good grappler, great striker, World class pain in the ass.
halloway with one leg easily...poirier in 3 min...aldo 13 seconds...alvarez 8 min didn't break sweat...khabib's wrestling is the only threat i see to conor in the division
rated21hbbhh wrong he does get hit a lot. hes not awkward because its his technique. hes awkward because he does random techniques, most of the time he doesnt even know what hes doing. he believes so much in his snapjitsu bullshit that hes not even worried about being taken down thats why he would lose to khabib and conor
se but the thing is and these are facts you don't know how much khabib will control tony on the ground. khabib even said himself tony is by far my worst matchup. kevin mounted him too alright the guy who destroyed barboza worse then khabib did. he still tapped to tony. do not ever count tony out in there. he is creative in there and noone figures out situations better then him. i think tony could beat khabib knowing hs jiu jitsu and his creativeness the way i see it khabib cannot finish well and tony his pace is a pure killer. plus khabib has not been tested i truly believe that. as awesome as he looks in there he has not been tested against anyone. he beat rda who always struggles against any wrestler. beat barboza who sucks on the ground but could not finish and iaquinta who is ranked on the end of the top 15. now tony has the same resume almost and sure got beat by johnson but the guys khabib could not finish tony has finished and has fought them all in their own strong suit. he is a complete mixed martial artist anyone who says he is not the best packge of the 3 is kidding himself. and tony has been hit but never came close to being finished. he knocked mofo's out at 170 aswell. all of em. khabib'smost impressive victory is RDA i woud say and even then. yeah he dominates alright but be real the real killers are still waiting for him. i think he beats conor but tony and kevin are a different story
Your right he beat every champ or number one contender easily i mean easily except nate at 170 which is heavy for him that was such a risk . His boxing is insane . Heart too . We know nothing about kabib but he lays on u . I think grabbing a boxer is a baaaaad move esp connor a ko artist.
your boy got choked out
LEE BRANDON dont forget khabib's striking . In this case his right hand
Good solid assessment from
Ol’ Chael P
Best commentator off the live show. I think he could join the play-by-play team of any of the major promotions in a flash.
Connor is top 5 in 155 but is a great midget killer who is above average versus full sized human beings.
People at 155 are midgets, besides he has only fought at that weight twice
Main question is how good is max Holloway
julie nowlin Conor beat max handily
James Horrigan he didn't ask that you McGregor keyboard warrior
Ryan Wilson ok sorry big guy don’t hurt me
Max was like 12 back then. Duffy beat Conor quickly, see the logic?
julie nowlin
Good enough to beat everyone put in front of him. Pity the Khabib fight never happened.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's not ever the same again after the last two weight cutting problems.
Chael. True genius. Thank you. 'Crystalline. Clear. Perfect'.
Damn, I was being stubborn about this, but I had to subscribe. Best MMA commentator/analyst!
Im typing this the night of 229...hes good just not good enough
Nate Diaz is a work horse. He had something to prove against Conor.
DJ KilCo Nate deserves nothing unranked loser
So you still mad that Nate choked out your daddy Conor.
Before the fight, Conor called Nate a "skinny fat gazelle" with no muscle definition but after the second fight, he beat a man "3 times" his size. I am a fan of his fighting but I don't buy his marketing act.
You mean he has a singular fight plan and never adapts it to beat his opponent. He still top 10, as long as he doesn't get wrestled. :D I'm a fan but Nate has so many holes in his game.
Nate has fought there before but Conor didn't look good at 170. Conor is one of the best mma strikers of all time...but his grappling and cardio isn't great. Conor isn't as well-rounded as other top fighters but people underestimate how lethal his striking is- if Conor doesn't have the reach advantage it's not as effective though.
Chael Sonnen has amazing insight and delivery.
Chael once again with words of wisdom👏
Did you just say you have never seen Alvarez hurt before the conor fight? LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
+ Aldo got tested pretty hard by Mendes in that rematch.
Rabby exactly! Michael chandler scrambled that mans brain a billion times. And patricky almost sent his head into the 3rd row but Eddie threw a high kick that koed him while he was still hurt. Man Eddie used to be in insane wars back in bellator.
Conor is the UFC.
Maybe back when he was fighting. How long has it been? Nearly 2 years now?
faaaak you
No. Ive never even watched one of his fights. And I've seen at least 20.
Delano Brooklyn correct
Delano Brooklyn very true
Right on the mark chael. Agree 100%
Totally agree with Chael on this. There are at least 2 more unknowns we should take into account of on this. One is an expansion of our knowledge that Conor can take a ridiculous amount of pressure: he is also able to put a ridiculous amount of psychological pressure on his opponents. It's not quite in what he says, but it comes through in what he says. Is it confidence? It's at least tied to confidence. I'm thinking of it like an impenetrable wall - that nothing you do or say shakes him up even a little bit. He's not reacting - he's responding; he has executive control over his own behaviors that give him a readiness to knock someone cold at a moment's notice. And the dynamite in his left hand changes everything. It's not the same thing to be afraid of getting beaten up for 15 minutes with shots you can ultimately handle, as it is to be faced with that 1 shot that can drop you in an instant. My biggest question will be whether Khabib is really going to come in there and be Khabib. Or is he going to come in there and look like Eddie Alvarez - a seriously game opponent who just "feels off" and can't give a clear explanation for why he lost? On the other hand, Khabib... IS KHABIB. A terrifying monster with intense and brutal GnP.
I think we also have to wonder if Conor is training the way he was. $100 Million isn't just a jump in pay. It's a jump in pressure and in the number of crazy distractions. Will this have impacted Conor's training? Is he going to go in with the same kind of fire as he had in the Alvarez fight? This matchup is going to be crazy. Even the build up is going to be so incredibly interesting. Can't Wait!
Everyone is sleeping on Conor Mcgregor. Conor will defeat Khabib, mark my words.
A lot of idiots like u arent
I agree
History in the making boys
49-1 mark mah woords
As a big Khabib fan who *really* wants him to win, I think you're right. I feel like Bibs hasn't been put up against the same level of competition so he appears indomitable. It's likely that Conor is too sharp for him. The 2 years out probably favor Conor. He's had time to observe Khabib and pick Artem's brain. He will have a well developed game plan when they step in on Oct 6.
He’s as good as you uncle Chael but definitely not better than you 😉
Jimmy Bucks The American Gangster would eat McGregor alive!!! Of course he's also got about 60 pounds on him, so there's that, but if McGregor was to go to LHW or HW, Uncle Chael would destroy him :)
But he's a better fighter and a better trash talker...
Jimmy Bucks really? What makes you say that?
Wrong. Chael was never champion
Get off his scrotum
Well done Chael respect ✌
Chael! You just made this fight very interesting!
I don't think Conor gets the praise he deserves. He beat Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier who are excelling now. He also shattered Aldo and overcome a Mendes who are both well up there. I think he can beat Khabib too. Conor has a much better resume on who he has beaten.
Kirk Landau oh you’re a Conor fan ? You must be a casual
Maverick Musique nah mctapper is a bum
McGregor is good and his resume speaks for itself but I just think he’s over hyped
But fact is once he’s taken down the Ref might aswell end the fight cah Conor’s gettin mauled
I agree with much of this. This fight hypes itself.
Finnaly one man who talks about this
I was wondering about this same question after poirer vs alvarez
Sniper or Wrestler. Sniper. People Conor is a sniper trust me he won't loose to a guy who can't strike. He will sleep khabib in the 1st round.
the question to ask is will he be the same after 2 years lay off
preparing for Mayweather he kept training MMA, after Mayweather he took few months off when he was on vacation and started training again. he's been training like crazy while Khabib's been doing interviews talking about what he thinks he's gonna do. your point?
nah hes gonna be better than eve, been training a long time for khabib, and now khabib will be out away, bye bye win streak
Feel like, he might be more fresh, than when he was pushing the pace in the past. Looks like he worked on some grappling as well...
YOU'RE GIVING UP THE SECRETS OF THE BUSINESS!
Amazing comentary!
Very
I think Conor KO's Khabib.
This time I'm right there with Chael. It can go either way, tbh. It's all about who is better prepared mentally that night and fights smarter. That being said, it's also about who has prepared in camp smarter. Not for nothing but I follow McGregor on social media and damn near every post related to training has been ground work. He knows Khabib is a huge threat there and he is preparing for it. If he can keep it standing he wins all day. If he gets taken down clean, he'll lose unless that Irish luck kicks in. Again, I can see it going either way.
