Big bet on Khabib. Some so called experts say line will be close to even by fight time. I laughed when I was told this. Connor will not be able to compete with Khabib's wrestling. Khabib will be looking for take down after take down. Connor will be looking for the knockout punch.

Connor gets submitted round 3.

Bettors backing McGregor just like they did when he fought Floyd.

Same trap, same result

I don't pretend to be an MMA expert, however my gambling intuition tells me Khabib is the play here.

this could be zany and unpredictable spectacle event with questionable judges at the end possible. One move or hit or distraction could end it either way, . in cases like that I like the +155 in coin flip situations...play the dog.

One can come to a logical conclusion McGregor is just looking to get paid here. There are reports all him and his team do all day is drink whiskey and party.

Don’t know anything about UFC (nor do I want to) but it seems like Khabob is free $ just like Mayweather was.

In an interview with Karen Bryant she asked this question. Connor replied he's be at home if it's about the money. I'm set for life he says. He goes on to say he's a fighter. He loves fighting. Connor also has a line of whiskey. The guy doesn't need the money, but obviously it's a nice payday.

I think Khabib wins because I usually favor the wrestler. Khabib got a gift against Tibau earlier in his career but Conor doesn’t have the takedown defense Tibau had.

Nobody can tell be the shananigans after the fight weren't staged. They even got Vegas Metro involved.

It wasn't staged. Doesn't matter as the fighter Khabib went after isn't under contract w/ UFC.

The best fighter in that division doesn't have the belt but he will as soon as he fights Khabib.

Khabib was mad at Conor for holding or hooking his gloves. Connor teammate Dylan made some type of racial slur at Khabib after other incident. Khabib lost it. Millions in free publicity. UFC will likely try to talk DA out of pressing charges.

Connor isn't pressing charges so they are good. The thing that sucks about is that they may run back a rematch while the best fighter in that division gets fucked.

El Cucuy is a different breed and deserves a shot at the title. Khabib willl be a false favorite against him, IMO.

Note: was speculating on Dylan comment. Would like to know what he said exactly that angered Khabib. If a rematch would bring the big money u can't blame the UFC. Would have to change the venue most likely.

El Cucuy shouldn't have even been in the octagon; dude isn't that far removed from blowing out his knee; it's like a medical miracle he even fought.

Anything can happen in a fight but El Cucuy should be able to handle Khabib. I've seen both fight lots of times and El Cucuy is the better fighter, IMO.

Nobody is ducking Ferguson. Let’s not forget the last time he was scheduled to fight Khabib he tripped and tore up his knee. Khabib beats that guy up, takes him down and out points him. Ferguson has a good ground game but if he’s under Khabib he’s losing.

Rumor is that El Cucuy may have an alchohol problem . Has been saying crazy stuff at prefight promos. Kind of like looking at LeBron in a Laker jersey. PS am assuming Cucuy(Beast in SP) is Conor's nickname.

And lets not forget that before that happened, Khabib pulled out of fighting El Cucuy because he couldn't make weight. How conveniant for him, He ain't stupid, El Cucuy is a different breed,

He's a different breed in many ways; that's one of them, he is like a crazy narcassist but he sure can fight.

Khabib hasn’t always been the most professional when it comes to making weight. Regardless Ferguson pulled out the last time so saying Khabib would duck him is really stupid. Ferguson’s TD defense is ok but not great he would lose a decision on the ground.

Dana White must be loving this. Kahabib check withheld, possible title stripping, suspension. I wonder what the PPV price will be for the re-match?

Come on, Khabib is a seasoned professional who didn't even try to make weight against EC and you know it (his hospitilization was a nice dramatic touch). He's eating Tiramasu two days before one of the most anticipated fights in UFC history w/ a Title on the line?

You can spin it anyway you want but Khabib ducked EC. As for EC pulling out, he tore up his fucking knee, I dare say it wasn't intentional.

This wasn't some throw-away undercard fight, they were headlining the Card.

If Khabib really wanted to fight EC, he would have made weight. End of Story.

There shouldn't be an immediate rematch because Connor got stomped the fuck out but $ talks so I wouldn't at all be surprised.

I just feel bad for EC, the dude can probably beat both of these guys; at least I would price him up as the favorite in either fight.

It wasn’t intentional of course. It was the week of the fight though and Khabib fought after making weight. If Ferguson’s fluke injury don’t happen they would have already fought. Can’t say a guy ducked someone under those circumstances.
