Conor actually landed quite a few shots on Khabib during the fight and rocked him pretty bad (in round 2 I think). It could have ended right there, but the RNG was favorable to Khabib this time.
So yeah. My money is on Conor but I hope he gets beat up in the process.

Loooooooool whut????
Khabib got him down on his first pick and had McGregors ass on the mat less than one minute into the first round. Then Khabib spent the next few rounds beating his ass.
