    After looking at a few videos it's hard to pass on Conors comments on how flat footed khabib is. It plays perfect for Conor. I see Conor coming in with a knee you wouldn't give to your mother in law at one of khabibs take down attempts. I think that there will be allot of clinching on the fence and Conor will punish him when they break up. Predicting Conor TKO in the second.

    There is a chance Conor has a plan to elbow his head off against the fence as well. Khabib goes and stays very low in there against the cage, Conor might fancy doing damage there, very risky though.

    Is there any truth behind Khabib's accusations about Conor's grandfather? Not sure where he pulled that one from.

    Supposedly he was in the Merchant Navy, so certainly not doing any killing.

    is this the article that mentions the grand father ref. https://www.independent.ie/style/celebrity/celebrity-news/like-father-like-son-meet-tony-mcgregor-dad-of-the-notorious-ufc-star-conor-34803633.html
    It has October 4th Date on it but the article says Conor is 27 in it so maybe it was originally printed in 3 years ago. So not sure when it was officially printed.

    His grandfather was an Irish man who served in the British navy and married a woman from Liverpool. The name is Scottish but there's been McGregor's in Ireland since the plantations of Laois-Offaly and Ulster.

    If it's true any Irish man cheering for Mcgregor should be ashamed of themselves. The soup taking goons.

    Tony brought his Lightweight belt to the face offs. There are 3 different Lightweight belts this week. They should make the main a triple threat match, winner take all.

    Not too sure about that to be honest. Also it's not exactly ancestors when it's his father's father. It wasn't all that long ago.

    Yeah. The soup accusation was the best bit in fairness.

    A massive amout of the Irish population will be related to someone who served with the British Forces in WW1 or WW2.

    Are we really going to hate on Conor cause his grandad sailed around with the British for a while in his 20s ?:pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac: hahahhah

    Again I'm not sure where you're getting that from. Not saying you're wrong as such but I don't know many people with relations who fought for the British Armed Forces.

    Also there is no hatred towards Conor or his family in any of my posts. Just questioning the legitimacy of Khabib's claims really.

    My only opinion on it is McGregor's previous claims about fighting the British. I think it's clear that Khabib has in turn done his research and it'll surely come up in the presser tonight.

    At least 200k Irish people served between WW1 and WW2. In a country of 4 million people that would mean a huge amount of people have a relative that served.

    You're assuming all our ancestors are from Dublin. Either way considering McGregors absolutely bizarre interpretation of Russian history in last weeks presser I hope Khabib has an equally insane take on McGregors familial roots. For the craic. Nobody is taking any of this ****e seriously like?

    I think my great grandad went to England once...and paid VAT on what he bought there. He practically funded the Queen and, let's face it the Black and Tans.
