Prediction: correct McGregor   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 2  

If you haven't seen McGregors other fights other than Brimage and you don't know much about him, I suggest you watch all his Cage warrior fights. I see why there's hype, His ground game is even sick. Holloway will not be able to deal with his pressure and if McGregor gets him down he could submit him as well or pound him out. Take your pick sub or TKO, he's gonna finish this fight.

Prediction: correct McGregor   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

I don't think people realize how good his ground game actually is..

He's a purple belt under John Kavanagh who was the first Irish recipient of a black belt in BJJ under Matt Thornton who himself was one of the first American recipients of a BJJ black belt, half of his teaching coming from Rickson Gracie and the latter half from the Machados.

Irregardless of Conor's skills, that's some very impressive BJJ lineage right there, so putting together a legitimately sick BJJ coach in Kavanagh and a world class black belt in Gunnar Nelson to roll with means Conor has all the tools to become a legit killer on the ground if he stays focused and can more than handle himself on the canvas currently.

Prediction: correct McGregor   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

I'm not that confident in McGregor anymore, he looked nervous at the weigh ins, maybe all the pressure and hype got to his head. Holloway looked ready and I think he knows what's coming.

Still not enough to change my pick but I'm thinking this could go either way. Hate to pick one guy here anyway since both are on my favorite fighter list...

McGregor is the real deal, I expect him to starch Holloway early.

I feel the same way @dielegende23. It's not easy to pick between to guys who you want to see win.

HOLLOWAY FTW!



Holloway is a MUCH different fighter than Brimage, Conor won't light him up like that.
