    I’d pay American PPV prices to see him toss McGregor about for 25 minutes, or however long he lasts. Best lightweight on the planet by a distance and one of the very best P4P too.

    Conor would be begging to be choked out about 3 mins in :pac:

    Khabib took some big shots tonight and they didn't seem to bother him.

    Conor has serious power so he might stop him but if it goes to ground once then Conor is done.

    Even his standup is right up there.

    It's not really. He's just incredible at negating the elite striking of others. Based off what he just did to one of the best, greatest strikers in the UFC, it's not hard to imagine he'd have every chance to do the same to McGregor.

    Anyway, 'mon to **** Holly Holm. Cyborg is obviously incredible but I just can't like her.

    Jesus, Holly will be exhausted by the time the fight starts, she hasn't stopped running about since she got in the octagon.

    Poor Holly has to withstand the early barrage here I think to stand a chance. Shes gonna need some excellent footwork here.

    Cyborg to come forward at Holm (who will obviously try to play the distance striking game all night) and eventually catch her.

    I can see this one finishing with Cyborg teeing off on Holly backing her up against the cage.

    Conor racked up a big fat line of Colombian marching powder after that khabib masterpiece.

    Khabib is great. But I seen enough in his fight with Michael Johnson to say that McGregor would KO him. Barboza was terrified of him and never went for it. I just pray that the two of them will fight in 2018 because it would be insane

    Holly is the blueprint to beat Cyborg.

    She’s about to shock the world for a second time.

    I think Cyborg wins by TKO here but not until the later rounds, Holly is being severely underrated by some p. I don’t see a way for her to win but it’s not going to be a quick KO or a landslide by any means, she’ll be somewhat competitive IMO.

    He'd on his back as quickly as he was against Mendes but he wouldn't be getting up.

    Holly looks like she has the skills but dunno if she has the power to keep Cyborg off her long enough to grind out a decision. Cyborg is being much more patient than I expected.

    Holly seems to be just as strong as cyborg. Could keep it from.going to the mat if she keeps her against cage in clinch.

    Holly's making Cyborg tire and get frustrated, I like this gameplan.

    If this gets to championship rounds, I like Holly's chances more and more.

    Still one shot will end this so thats a big IF.

    Think Holm needs to move away from this clinch tactic she's been using so far. Cyborg starting to find room for knees when clinched up inside against the cage.
