I have to go with the wrestler, who is also undefeated, and favored. But really just hope it is a good fight.

I can't bet against Khabib. He's never even been in trouble in the UFC. People like to say Michael Johnson rocked him because Rogan said it live but if you go back and look at it he was fine.
Yeah he has never fought anybody as good as Conor, but Conor has never fought a wrestler like Khabib. Chad mendes is way smaller and was whipping Conor pretty good until he gassed.
Khabib also does a very good job at keeping that right hand up blocking his face, people over look that. Going to be hard for Conor to connect cleanly.
That said, nobody's timing is better than Conor's. He could catch him and KO him. But is he KOable. Nobody has clipped him clean enough to tell. Conor couldn't KO Nate even though he caught him clean several times. If he clips Khabib and follows him to the ground that would be a mistake IMO.

In for Khabib
I have about $400 lined up. Nothing huge in the grand scheme of things.
But I think with the layoff, the lack of real fight in McGregor, and the skill level that Khabib is on right now, that Khabib wins convincingly.

Conner just wants to dance around and throw bombs. While that has worked for him a good amount of the time, I got to go with the rastler, who also can throw bombs.

Anything can, and does happen in fights all the time. With that being said, I'm saying Conor gets man handled. As mentioned, he's never been against skill like this. Since the beginning of mma, superior wrestling has always had a edge over superior boxing.
Liddell had a rare gift of being almost impossible to take down, and he threw hard punches from off angles. Connor has some of that, but not enough imo.
But that's why we fight, cuz ya never know.
