Only problem I have with Conor is his absence of almost 2 half years some rust going straight into a grinder like Khabib but Conor's standup is superior shown in also fight he only needs to connect with his left once. Good sign is his media blackout in ireland training hard. Excited for it

The question is will Khabib's chin hold up, and history has shown no reason to believe that it will not.

Agreed no reason to think otherwise I just look at who Khabib's fought(not impressed) and none have any real KO power. I also think conor's opponents have been underwhelming...
Brando - Not good/mental midget
Siver - C'mon man
Mendes(short notice) - midget with zero reach/where is he now
Porier - hit em in the back of the head/not intentional just happened
Aldo - say what you want it was a "lucky" shot/plus Aldo, like many others, got too emotional against conor which is exactly the purpose of his sht talking
Diaz - when has he ever been a contender/styles make fights and Diaz' ability to take punches and cardio along with being immune to his mental warfare presented problems for conor
Alvarez(an older less athletic Mendez) - midget with no reach and ALOT of mileage on his chin/ripe for a KO artist like cmac
Let the record show I hope Khabib wears this dude out and doesn't give him a way out and beats him for 5 rounds to humble him like he's saying I just think the way the game is now it's alot easier keep the fight standing vs. having to get it to the ground. conors not concerned with Khabibs standup and will eat his punches or slip them to either land his own or avoid the TD IMO. Finishing a fight on the feet is way more likely than finishing the fight on the ground in todays MMA. Can't wait to see how it all plays out

Don't really disagree with you, however you can't disregard what Khabib did to Edson Barboza who is a high level striker. Khabib is no Chad Mendes, and we already saw Conor struggle to get the finish against someone with some size and a threat on the ground in Nate Diaz. If you want to play McGregor moneyline at plus odds I think now is the time to do it with Conor at (+155) on 5Dimes, as I believe the closer we get to the fight and media coverage increases the odds may get closer to a pick'em. Can't wait for this one.

don't laugh about that end, it could happening...
herb dean the referee, earlier stoppage is waiting?
Imagine Khabib is doing the same thing than michaek jackson did to cm punk? not finishing him and play with him until the end? what will happened if khabib did this? dana will say it is disgusting and khabib never fight again for ufc?
I feel unexpected something will happening on this fight but I don't know what
may be pettis will be out before the night and dana will call a triple threat match between Conor, Khabib and Tony it should be great
