Lobov: Conor will stop Khabib in the first round

Russian-Irish MMA fighter Artem Lobov continues to analyze the forthcoming fight of his star friend Conor McGregor against undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov. At this time, the "Russian Hammer" said that Conor without any problems overcomes Khabib in the stance.

"Conor is in fantastic shape. I do not know anyone else who is so serious about his training. Whatever you think about Conor, it's not even close to reality. I saw how in this training camp he sweated with sweat and blood. It happens every day, for many years in a row. He was always like that, thanks to this he became a champion in two divisions.

“It cannot be said that the fight between Khabib and Konor is a confrontation of striking technique and wrestling. To say this is to say that Conor does not have a grappling and wrestling, and Khabib can’t punch. Although Khabib really does not have a strike. But conversations about the fact that Conor's grappling and wrestling at a weak level is a delusion. Conor easily troubles him on the ground. Of course, the ground is an element of Khabib, and we are not stupid, we will not rush there at once. But rest assured, we will be ready in all areas.

“I think that Conor will stop Khabib in the first round. I do not even know what Khabib can do against Conor. Just look at his other fights. Remember the battle with Iaquinta, when Al got on him - Khabib did not like it, he walked away, turned his head and closed his eyes. When Johnson got on Khabib in the stance, he could not even make a transfer to the ground. When I take into account all these moments, watching the preparation of Conor and knowing at what level his punch, timing, wrestling and grappling, I just do not see any other outcomes. Conor will stop him in the first round," Lobov said.
