Coming in Oct.  Anyone seen a line for this fight yet?  I'm REALLY excited for this one, though i'm cautious d/t the high chance that something happens to make this fight fall through. 

As far as the odds.. man, tough one.. i'm thinking it will open something like Conor -120? What do you all think?

I like khabib because the ground and pound is more of a sure thing then a knockout and thats colors best chance but you never know mate conor has been working ground gemlike crazy , keeps this in mind his ju jitsu coach dilli0on danis is pretty much the best in the world with that said  give me the khabib  too smash on conor, but i also thought alvarez would ground and pound conor too.

Having the best Ju Jitsu coach in the world means nothing...

This fight really just comes down to, can Conor keep the fight standing.. if he does, he will win. But that's no small task.  Khabib is a beast on the ground and if he gets on top of Conor, he will likely smash him.  Have never been all that impressed with Conor's ground game, but likewise, haven't been too impressed by Khabib's stand up.. especially watching him basically get beaten on the feet in his last fight against the fill in (can't remember his name right now).

I don't think the line will move alot from where its at now except for some late money on conor close to fight night. I will probably not play this fight theres too many ways this fight can go and with tiny gloves...nahh. conor had me thinking he actually had a shot to beat arguably the greatest boxer of all time. Wow was i dumb but this here is different. Eddie made no reall attempt to take him down prior to being stunned and Diaz's never been a wrassler so while conors defense looked good those fights Habeeb is different. I can't wait!!!

Oh and Khabib definitly did not get outstruck his last fight also it was a helluva week leading up...2 opponent changes then the bus attack. I give him a pass even though it was against a "lesser" opponent. He still won every round easily

Maybe I was watching a different fight or not remembering correctly, but I thought I remember Khabib looking VERY sloppy and uncomfortable with his stand up and Al nailing him a number of times.  Conor's striking is mulitple levels above Al's, but then again, Conor had trouble w/Chad Mendes taking him down, and Khabib's wrestling is probably one of, if not THE, best in the game.. once he gets you down, you're basically F'd.

Conor is a legend but this is a terrible fight for him if he doesn’t land the left in the first few seconds, Khabib puts so much pressure on you, Conor will gas out & have nothing to offer if Khabib gets him on the ground

No fighter has made me money quite like Conor so I love him, I may actually bet against him here though, that line will be way closer to PK when the Irish start flowing in fight week

If you want to bet Conor bet it now, if you like Khabib then wait

Nah you're right he did look sloppy and got hit with a few clean shots by a fighter who's striking isn't on conors level which is why alot of folks are saying conor could get the KO.  Such an intriguing fight on so many levels.

Agree.. I really like Conor, but am afraid he may get smashed here.  Only thing causing me to second guess this is how crappy Khabib looked in his stand up in his last fight against Iaquinta.. now, maybe that had to do with him not being able to prepare appropriately with some many opponent changes, but otherwise, the fact that Conor has been handled quite easily on the ground by many "lesser" wrestlers than Khabib makes me likely to put my $ on Khabib, ESPECIALLY if the line drops.

Khabib has more windows to win than Connor does.  If CM can't knock him out early, be ready for Khabib to hump him for 5 long rounds.

looks like the line is holding stable at Khabib around -160.  Where do you all think this line goes once all of the fans start streaming in?  I'm guessing a lot of bets will be being placed on Conor?

If it hasn’t moved by now, I don’t see it moving in favor of conor much at all after today. A little but not even close to what we saw vs Floyd.

I'm guessing close to a pick em by fight night...depending on how the weigh ins look of course

Can I just say, even though i'm a huge Conor fan, i'm glad Khabib didn't wait for him when he was late again to the press conference. That garbage is so disrespectful and played out.. i know it's more of Conor's head games, but it's lame.  Good for Khabib.

already 1 millions money odds are matched on betfair

public is on conor for sure but i guess that the big money is on khabib because odds didn't move at all

more bets on conor but more big amount money on khabib

it is my thoughts

it doesn't mea khabib will win

i am not a fan of both and i am still don't know wich bet I will took but for now I think that the value is on conor

I will certainly bet 0.72U on conor odds @ 2.4  to win 1U as it seems this fight is 50/50

the problem with Khabib is that there are some ??? it is very pity that the fight with Tony did not happened, it will be very clear right now but may be it is better like this for the suspens of the fight

doesn't surprise me that the "smart" $ is on khabib while the public pounds Conor.  Still undecided on this fight but leaning to Khabib.

I agree with you... the best striker vs the best grappler.  50-50 fight.  The value is on Connor
