Also, the way Conor tries to hype himself at this point is almost Trump-esque. Just talks whatever shit comes into his head, regardless of how much sense is does or doesn't make. He just sounds like a blowhard. I admit he seemed a genius before, especially before the Aldo match. But now I can't understand how any real fan of the sport could actually root for him.

yeah that press conference was obnoxious. and the fear was definitely visible in conor. i dont think he thinks hes going to win. hes telling himself as much as he is the audience that hes already got what he came for. He is an entertainment to watch in the ring however.

kind of fun detailed analysis of each: https://youtu.be/7cVfAN\_ix4Ynot realistic in some respects and kind of more geared toward.. i dont know, people who dont know anything about the sport. but it gives you a closer look at both of their fighting styles Im not impressed by his talking, like, at all, but then Im not the one conors coming after.. and he really is a hell of a lot smarter than he sounds. just look at his footwork, he moves a lot like tj dillashaw. very quick and dynamic.but i think it really comes down to the point the guy in number30 s video makes about pace and cardio, in terms of what all we can really wager on, and i still think conors going to be in trouble and he knows it

I'm going with Khabib grabbing his leg and then ground and pounding him to the win over 3 rounds or so. That said, if Connor does take him out standing up it would be one incredible feat, nobody said he would beat most of his previous opponents but he did, and this is the big one.He's not had to defend his weight class against all the other tough nuts in the division though, so has had a slightly easier time there. He does work his arse off promoting and building his brand and entertaining you can't take that away from him, and that's a real skill that many don't have. It also means it doesn't matter if he wins or loses, he'll still get title shots, if he even wants that.

Thought the way khabib handled the second press conference was excellent. œHe s not here ” fuck him and his bullshit I m leaving. The only people to handle Conor s mind games/trash talk this well are Floyd and Diaz ” who both beat him.I really like Conor in his prime. Poirier/Mendes/Aldo/Alvarez. Both the fights and the press surrounding them. No one moves quite like him ” but god I hope Khabib embarrasses him and does everything he says he s going to. So very excited.

I hope it's entertaining, but I hope Conor gets owned. I know it's fighting, but I always hate a bully. Conor is a glorified bully. Throwing the dolly at the bus was the ultimate display of his arrogance. I hope he gets humiliated and a serious case of rug rash.

That'll do.

A really brutal fight (ambulance/police etc) broke out at the place I was at the same time it did In the crowd. It was really dumb.Basically I saw khabib choke Conor then go after someone in the crowd (Dillon Danis?!)Sucks that all that other stuff happened because it was a great performance. Not justifying it, but Conor said a lot of shit. He attacked his fucking dad and religion.How surprising was khabib on his feet!
