Lee: I'm more and more inclining to McGregor’s win over Nurmagomedov

Kevin Lee

American super lightweight Kevin Lee continues to analyze the upcoming title fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and former two-weight champion Conor McGregor.

"The closer the fight, the more I tend to believe that Conor will send Khabib to sleep. Khabib uses the same methods in his battles. Yes, he is a real monster on the ground, but he does not finish his fights by stoppages. In a duel with Michael Johnson, he actually begged the rival to surrender.

“Khabib must finish it immediately, otherwise a guy like Conor will send him to sleep with his left hand. I'm increasingly inclined to Conor’s win, although I do not like his fights. We are waiting for an interesting battle.

“I'm still going to be ready for UFC 229, because there will be four best lightweights, any of which can drop out at the last minute. I will stay in shape and control my weight, as you never know what can happen in MMA," Lee said.
