RE: Theorycrafting: How would a Conor McGregor - Khabib Nurmagomedov fight look?

in #sports7 years ago

Yeah I totally agree about Conor's takedown defense, but Khabib only needs to get him down once. He could very well submit him on the ground or finish him with ground and pound from full mount, it all depends on how well Conor can scramble and cover up with Khabib on top of him!

Sort:  

If someone like Edson, RDA and others with great ground game couldn't do it I don't see Conor being able to do it

There might be an argument to be made that it doesn't really matter how good you are on the ground because Khabib will be better than you regardless, although the chances of Khabib finishing Conor on the ground have got to be higher than the likes of RDA and Iaquinta.
