I really don't think people are giving McGregor enough credit for his fighting abilities.Hes still a damn good fighter, and he does have some takedown defense, and it's likely still been improving. I honestly think he will smoke Cerrone.
But hey, I've been wrong before! Like yesterday. Lol
In terms of styles, the matchup favors conor due to the lack of head movement from cowboy. Conor will need to finish him in the first few rounds though imo, cus then cardio + leg kicks will play a larger factor. Ranked by most likely scenario, I'd predict 1) Conor decapitates him, 2) cowboy gets the decision by winning the late rounds, 3) cowboy times Conor's head movement and kicks him in the face for a KO.
Cowboy is a rough matchup specifically for Khabib. Big LW with great TDD. Attacks subs off the back. Superior striking. Ability to time knees when Khabib changes levels.
