Who wins? I gotta go with Khabib. The guy is a killer. What he does to guys is unreal. But McGregor is dangerous as hell in the first two rounds.

Poll
Can't stand the prick.
My vote went to Kabib.
Edit: McGregor won $100M. His heart ain't in it like it was, IMO.
The Shop
There is a long list of dudes he should have lost to. Here is a few:
Chad Mendes All-American wrestler.
Dustin Poirier BJJ Black belt.
Nate Diaz BJJ Black belt.
Max Holloway chin of stone, BJJ Puple Belt.
He did lose to Diaz but got gassed. His problem is he has no cardio so the fight cant go past round 3.
He's a good talker, but I don't think he will win.
Doubt that will work for Kahbib if hes ready for the quick attack at the beginning. If it goes to the ground, same as with diaz choking out conor, it's over. Crap talk wont affect Khabib,
Those in the know know Diaz won both their fights. Conor should have got yellow carded for running away the whole fight especially rounds 3 on.
in fight 2, diaz couldnt get any points because he was constantly chasing conor who would duck and run.. The ref should have called it after the 3rd time as a forfeit. He wouldn't engage at all.
Youtube search Macgregor vs Diaz running, and watch the black and white video. Diaz kept saying WTF? Come on man! Pointing at him, flipping him off, conor wanted "fookin nuttin" of that. He wanted out of there.
They did have to give a few rounds to diaz though on principal, but the fight was over in round 3 when conor ran away for over half a round right there.
diaz is in better shape than he looks. Knocking him down just pisses him off. Conor didn;t go to the ground after those knockdown knowing that would be the end.
He will have to keep Khabib standing to have any chance.
Conor would have to land something spectacular to hurt Khabib. When he touched Aldo within about 10 seconds and sent him on his ass it was because he almost killed himself for the final time to make that weight and came in so much bigger. Khabib is naturally much bigger than Conor, even bigger than Diaz, who Conor couldn't finish. With this in mind I can't possibly see how Conor can win this fight, if he can't finish him quickly on the feet you know damn well Khabib is going to get a hold of him and then he's fucked. His sparring partner saying he could beat Khabib in a grappling match is laughable, every time he gets a hold of someone the fight is over.
Conor is done if it goes to the ground.
I was concerned that khabib would get caught by a striker like Barboza. But what he did in that fight on the ground was just a clinic. The equivalent of RC lapping the field in millville. Barboza was so mentally beat in the 2nd round. Hes going to make Conor quit.
Pit Row
Plus, if that went any longer Conor would have passed out. But then there wouldn't have been a chance at a Trilogy really either.
If I was a ref, Id tell a fighter they can run away once to catch their breath, get their bearings, whatever. Twice they are getting a warning. 3rd time is the same as a Forfeit.
Yet, the whole point of him renting the 12,000 SF house in Vegas before the Aldo fight was to be able to have all his entourage there and train and be acclimated to where most fights are held including this one. That place went up for sale after he moved out, but its not like he doesn't have the money to get another rental.
Maybe after the bus deal he pulled up all roots? Maybe he rented one of Mayweathers Vegas houses? LMAO.
