Super excited to see this fight(replay for me tomorrow so shutting off all media in case of spoilers). Khabib with a record of 26 wins 0 losses, and McGregor with a 21 - 3 record. These guys are the best in their weight class in their physical prime and top of their game. The matchup is so perfect, with East vs West, Grappling vs Striking, Introvert vs Extrovert, Humble vs Brash, I'll be suprised if it doesn't get the highest pay per view figures to date!
Very difficult to call who will win because McGregor has brilliant striking precision, timing, and one hit knockout power, while Khabib is so dominant with grappling and wrestling.
The bookies are saying Khabib is favourite according to https://www.oddschecker.com/ufc-mma/khabib-nurmagomedov-v-conor-mcgregor/winner
