Khabib is the better fighter, but Conor is a dangerous fighter. I give it 60-40 odds in Khabibs favor.
Better not go more than 2 rounds Conner gasses after that and Khabib would maul him. So I believe if Conner don't knock him out in 2 rounds Khabib's pressure will take over. Conner gassed in the first Diaz fight Khabib puts on a ton of more pressure than Diaz so will be a long night if it goes past 2 rounds.
im not so sure he is a one trick pony.
he was a champion grappler before he enterd the UFC.
he sometimes shoots for the single leg and then grabs the other and then lifts and dumps the guy on his back. Thats what im talking about
a dandy showman with a manufactured act to sell to people that buy into that sort of nationalistic thinking.
I've learned in life to be more wary of the silent guy than the big mouth

Silent type don`t make no money .
Stipe Miocic multiple time HW champ . Didn`t like to do media . Foresaked opportunity to set himself and his family up financially . Missed the boat .
Conor has made more money with his act than any other MMA fighter . Its the entertainment biz .
Remember USA is home of WWE . And Pay Per View is where the real earnings are . Sell more PPV ; collect shit loads more money .
Brock challenging DC is ridiculous but Mericans ate it up . Bring it on !

we all have our own priorities

I hear ya .
The spot light aint for some .
But if you take a step back and look at the promotion . Its sports entertainment . There aren`t real rankings or fights made on merit . The best fight , the best . NO !
The most profitable fights are played out . Are they the #1 vs #2 - rarely .
Its sports entertainment bro .
Chael Sonnen rewrote the book on fight promotion in MMA .
Went from also ran , to all time best seller . By promoting himself . Prize fighting .
Smarter than the average bear .
If there hadn`t been the preceding incidents framing the drama between Conor and Khabib . [the bully his team mate . Then the dolly and the bus window incident ]this fight prolly would never have happened . The interest would not have warranted it .
Conor is a sports entertainer . Not a Shaolin Monk .

I think once the sport grows there will be less need for people to act ridiculous to promote the events.
There will always be room for loudmouths but the actual MMA will be enough sooner or later.... hopefully.
I used to enjoy WWF.... when i was 10 years old.
G `day I
Never watched it myself .
But it still has people tuned in every week by the millions .
Even the POTUS is into it . Made cameo appearances back in the day .

Dana White and Donald Trump both learnt a lot from Vince Mc Mahon .

The fact that Conor haters appear in this thread means he succeeded. You took his bait and if you buy the fight you paid him. He enjoys being the center of attention and being the best at something few can do.
His cardio and take down defense are suspect. I think he gets pounded out on the ground. Hope he improved both cardio and take down defense since before, if so he has a chance.
