UFC 229: Khabib v McGregor Press Conference

One of the things that we know going into this bout that both fighters are training for it extremely hard.

However, it is important to talk about the fact that both of them have extremely different styles in their approach to fighting in the Octagon.

While Conor prefers a more direct striking knockdown approach, for Khabib, ground wrestling is his strong suit. Most of Conor's fights have a tendency to end in the first round.

For Khabib to have a chance in this fight, it is important for him to be able to get past the first round. Once past the first few rounds, he will be able to work his way around Conor and finish the job.

For Conor, on the other hand, it is important to win the fight that is coming up in the first few rounds. One left hook, and UFC will have a new Lightweight Champion.
