I think kabib wins this easily, he has faced some great strikers before, and beat them with ease.

He hasn't faced a single striker on mcgregors level. Nobody boxes like he does in the ufc. 



Khabib. McGregor's cardio goes to hell after the midway point of round 2 and that's if it's a striking contest. The only way McGregor can win is KO. Khabib get's a hold of him it's over. He'll maul Conor. Once Conor get's taken down, his limited gas tanks goes away even faster. It'll basically be what Khabib did to Michael Johnson and Edson Barbosa.

Would love to see McGregor get knocked out simply because he's too much of a loud mouthed cocky shit for my liking, lol

You know it's all part of his game, because that's what the fans want, right? You don't see the real thing.



How late is the fight supposed to start (with timezone please)?

And personally I expect Khabib to win due to the simple fact that Conor hasn't had a MMA fight in almost 2 years, I just don't see how you can expect someone to perform to the best of their abilities after such a lengthy break.

I don't care what "the real thing" is, I also saw the video where him and his cronies were smashing up that bus of his opponent and innocent people got injured... not exactly the guy I'm gonna' root for, he seems like a complete and utter prick, would love to see him out cold on the mat. 

And that's exactly what he wants you to do.

Because even though you don't fight competitively, you still train constantly? By your logic, no one should ever win their first fight if they are not against a first timer as well.

He wants me to see him lose? 

He wants people to be interested in the outcome of his matches, he couldn't give a crap whether you wanted him to win or lose.

Sure, but in my opinion there's no sport in which the real thing and training are the same thing. I have no doubt in my mind that McGregor's lack of fights in the past 2 years is a disadvantage

The main card starts 3 hours from the top of this hour. Sorry for the lack of time zone but that should help. In a hurry, and my province has a freaky timezone that doesn't observe daylight savings, and it often throws me off. The main event is about 5 - 5 1/2 hours from now.
