Yeah man that fight against Khabib is gonna be a good one! What ever happened with Connors whole little hissy fit he threw where some of the fighters were gonna sue him? I never heard anymore about that. That just get swept under the rug or something by Dana I'm guessing?

Mcgreggar's lawyers and Dana White probably put that mess to rest with hefty payouts to all involved.

Glad this thread got revived! Conor vs Khabib is gonna be my most anticipated fight. Ok ok wandy vs rampage 1&2 was up there, lol.

My prediction is Khabib will get this one via “brutal mauling”. After this bearing. Will temoporarily tarnish Conors’ 8 fight new contract (pay per view points & his whiskey partnership).

There’s gonna be a Khabib vs Conor 2 Guys/Gals. Conor is gonna want a rematch after a loss, lol ....

I just learned of the match and signing earlier on Instagram and I'll admit that I've never even heard of Khabib but I sure hope he busts up Mcgreggar good.

I think it was about a year ago when I saw Khabib for the first time. I honestly don't like the dude at all because his ego is rivaled only by Connors lol, I gotta admit Khabib is the real deal in the ring. That dude can fight. It's gonna be a great match, first match I have actually looked forward to since Carwin vs Lesnar.

Wow,obviously I wasn't aware of those things about Khabib since I'd never heard of him....not sure if you've seen it but I would love to be able to post the video clip of the two of them facing off on stage.Khabib looked calm and focused while Mcgregar appeared to be extremely agitated at the guy.
I am now anxiously looking forward to seeing the match too.
