McGregor vs. Khabib betting

If you are a fan of contact sports and you plan to bet on McGregor vs Khabib, do not miss this post. Finally Conor McGregor returns to fight in the UFC and against one of the best fighters in the company. It seems that his boxing career has been put to one side after the fight against Mayweather.

Everything is ready so that at dawn on October 7 in Las Vegas, there will be a real show.

McGregor vs Khabib Betting Tips

Predicting who will win an MMA match is quite complicated, especially when high-level fighters face each other. Any detail, however small it may seem, can change the course of the fight in a tenth of a second. Luckily, when it comes to betting there are more options than simply choosing the winner, there are also other types of bets that are more neutral and just as profitable.

Beware that the odds are changing as we get closer to the fight! Khabib is no longer so favourite…

The irish is back

Since he fought Eddie Álvarez in November 2016, Conor McGregor has not set foot in the UFC Octagon again. His absence caused him to be stripped of the two belts he owned, the featherweight and the lightweight. He now has the opportunity to regain dominance at featherweights and win back the respect of fans of this sport.

But in front of him he is not going to have just any fighter. He’s probably, he’s going up against one of the best fighters right now, Khabib Nurmagomedov. The Russian is a specialist in fighting and in all kinds of submissions, precisely the weak point of the Irish. No matter how much he has trained this facet in recent months, he will continue to be inferior, so it is not in his interest that the fight is fought at ground level.

McGregor has to focus on what he’s good at, landing shots at his opponent and knocking them out before the bell rings. In the event that the fight lasts more than 3 rounds, the Russian would have everything to win since “The Notorious” does not have a cardio that he can boast of.

Khabib is the favorite

Basically because he is the champion and because he has never been beaten. But be careful, if there is someone who can end his streak that is Conor McGregor. Khabib is expected to do more of a defensive fight trying to take the fight to the ground and avoiding the exchange of blows. He knows that if he controls the fight like he usually does, and keeps the Irishman at bay, it’s quite likely that he’ll end up taking the fight to points or submission.

Mentality as a key factor

The psychological factor is essential in individual sports, and even more so in MMA. Everything that happens before the fight can influence the final result. The fights begin to take place in the press conferences, and Conor McGregor is a specialist in undermining the morale of his rivals. In fact, in Khabib’s last fight, in which he won the belt for which they fought on October 7, the Irishman and his entourage attacked the bus in which the Russian and other fighters were. Now, the reigning lightweight champ isn’t one to get into the rag easily, so McGregor will have to go all out if he wants to get on his nerves before the fight.

McGregor stands up to Khabib at the press conference

Conor McGregor returned to give the note in the press conference before the fight. The Irishman was late for the last face-to-face with Khabib Nurmagomedov, and the champion decided not to wait for him: “Tomorrow I have to make weight.” But the show did not end here. A few minutes later, McGregor appeared with a bottle of whiskey in hand and assured that his rivalry with the Russian goes on for a long time: “It will never end. Thank you all very much, see you on Saturday night.” The show continues, and each time the fight gets more interesting.

Herb Dean will be the referee for McGregor vs Khabib

Considered one of the best MMA referees, Herb Dean will be in charge of putting some peace in the Octagon on October 7 in Las Vegas. Of course, he will not have it easy with two fighters who love each other rather little. As always, the designation was made by the Nevada Athletic Commission, which had a choice: Jason Herzog, Dan Miragliotta and Chris Tognoni.
