He doesn't panic when he's on the ground. His cardio seems terrible for someone at one of the middle weight classes, and I doubt his "lifestyle" helps that. He's competing against guys in Tony and Khabib that either don't drink, or have never drank. Compare that to the sessions he does be pictured on in Dublin. I don't think he's ever going to have the stamina of Nate or Colby, but if he had a more professional lifestyle that may have meant he had some power left for his punches in round 3 vs Khabib

Tazzimus wrote: » He does have a genuine chance, but it's a small one. First round or so is his window to try take him out. After that, it's all Khabib, unless he gets really lucky. Khabib is one of the worst possible fighters to be against when you have ****ty stamina.
BigMo1 wrote: » Khabib would be a rightful heavy favourite but McGregor would certainly have a chance, albeit a small one. Keeping his distance and trying to catch Khabib on entries seems like his best route to finding a KO. Probably would be less of a cardio drain too which has been a large flaw for Conor in past fights.

Mcgregor lost early in his career, lost again to Nate, came back, beat him and then won the lightweight belt! But I suppose they do both have (had) a great fan base. But thats about where the similarity ends.
