UFC 246 Countdown - Full Episode
As expected most of this episode is focused on Conor. The interesting is that they did not cover the Holly Holm versus Raquel Pennington fight but they did cover the Diego Ferreira versus Anthony Pettis.
This has to be one of the oddest way the UFC has promoted a big fight.
If Cowboy can survive the first 1.5 rounds he has a decent shot and getting the win. I feel as allot are counting him out. In my mind this is Cowboy's fight to lose. If he tries to meet Conor in the middle and toss hands he runs the risk of getting KO'd early.
i guess it depends on how much time mcgregor spend on cardio the last months.
Mcgregor never had good cardio. He faired well at 145 because he was always the bigger fighter. He went 1-1 with Nate Diaz who is a win one lose one fighter once he moved up. Even when he fought for and won the 155lb belt he was bigger than the then champion Eddie Alvarez.
I am going to lay money on Cowboy based on the odds but Conor is looking pretty good in the press that is coming out.
Conor will likely be in the best shape he possibly can.
He knows a loss will hurt his brand big time. Currently he has a chance at another big pay day in boxing vs. Pacquiao and a loss will squash those negotiations.
