Khabib is a very religious person hence he had god on his side. Allah squashes Conor every time.

I’d like Conor to win simply because of the potential showdowns it gives us, but I am afraid this will come down to durability. He has not show us any indication that his gas tank has improved.

Conor will win the first 3 rounds and fade badly in the fourth. He gets submitted in the fifth.
Khabib out struck McGregor ffs. This fight is a toss up imo. Looks like Conor has been on tech so maybe that will give him the edge.

Top boxers get paid, undercard guys get paid peanuts. Difference between UFC and boxing is that there are top UFC guys that still get peanuts.

McGregor is looking pretty hench right now. I don't think this fight being at WW is something random. Implying he beats Donald, I believe he intends to stay here to face Masvidal/Usman, neither of which I think he stands a chance of winning.. but I've said that many times about him in the past. We'll see what happens.

Bodybuilding is a lifetime journey, anytime spent not bulking or cutting is a waste of time.

To fight at this level,you have to be elite.. Connor just moves a bit differently. He isn't really a "boxer".. He has a weird stance and really watches his opponents hands ,constantly reaching for them.When his opponent tries to stop his reach,he strikes.. He is a master at this technique.. Cerrone is elite and is no slouch..

You guys really think so?!? He looks literally exactly the same as he did last time he fought at 170 imo….that's just how he looks when he doesn't cut weight since he just weighs 170 before the cut...

Trying to get hype for this card, but outside of the headliner the card is just saturated with chitty wmma fights I couldn't care less to watch.

If this card actually sells PPVs it is solely on the fact that Connor and Cowboy are draws. Literally no other reason, seriously take away that fight and how many people would even watch this?

Guess we will find out how big a star the guy currently is.

Connor got 100M for one fight, tell me whatever, brain chemistry is changed forever. Never gonna be the same.

The other guy nearly died cave diving, all you need to know about his mental state.

that's why I think the UFC made this intentionally a weak card. they're prety much banking on conor/cerrone to carry the entire card. would have actually bought the ppv but from the co-main to the bottom none of the fights really interest me, maybe pettis and diego but bleh

Dana White knows that Conor's hordes of nut-licking cucks will pay either way. Just look at how much money the Mayweather Conor light sparring session made thanks to the aforementioned gullible cucks who got all hot and bothered meanwhile Mayweather and Conor were laughing all the way to the bank on the same private jet. JFL.

I never like to stream free. I insist on giving my money to ufc. Since I don’t like the undercard, I don’t want to pay for just 1 fight. Skippable Ppv. War cowboy!

I misread your post thinking you had said that you were hyped for this card...went to Sherdog to confirm the **** card and it was.

Even the headliner is meaningless when it comes to any implications for titles/contender. Either W/L for either fighter changes nothing matchmaking wise (title picture) for 2020.

I think people are underrating how much PRESSURE there is on Connor to WIN.

If he loses to Cowboy it will be pretty hilarious.

On one side, I want Cowboy to win because it will be hilarious but on the otherside, i'd also like to see McGregor win so he can go on to fight Masvidal. I still think McGregor will get complete dominated by Khbabib and there shouldnt be a rematch as the first one wasnt that competitive.

Cowboy can win this fight, and with relative ease, IMO. All he needs to do, is use the right gameplan. He can even win rounds standing. All he has to do, is is jab, jab, jab, and circle to his left. If he can get CM to chase, he can time a right head kick, or even possibly a takedown. CM is great at closing distance, and that is what he is going to try to do.

If Cowboy can avoid the left hand all night, he could EASILY jab CM's face to pieces.

But we know that isn't going to happen, because the UFC stands to lose millions of dollars if it does. Conor will be done as a top tier guy.

So Cerrone will lay down, collect a massive paycheck, and ride off into the sunset. Very similar in fashion to what Eddie Alvarez did. Alvarez didn't even show up that night.

There is zero chance CM loses this fight. The UFC and WME just stand to lose too much money.

I think it's deliberately set up that way for future negotiations, if the card sells well i.e. 1.5 mil+ then they get to reap the profits, however if it sells poorly (for a Conor card) then they can use that in future negotiations so they don't have to pay out as much to him. It's win win for the UFC.

This is what I was thinking. And I don't see it hitting a million buys.

The lack of hype around this fight is very weird.

The abysmal card definitely isn't helping, but Conor seems to have taken on the role of Mr Nice Guy atm.

you don't honestly believe that Eddie was paid to take a dive. Eddie choked, plain and simple. Not everything is a fucking conspiracy. Do you believe Ronda's opponents were taking dives as well? Fuck outta here.

also the hype doesn't really begin until the embedded vids start counting down.

yeah, even me myself I don't feel the hype surrounding this card. I mean yeah Conor is fighting but it just doesn't feel like it has the same buzz as it did the Khabib, Diaz, Alvarez and Aldo fights
