Conor the Striker vs Khabib the Grappler. A story as old as time, well, a story of 25 years. It doesn’t get bigger than this. @ufc

Will be interesting to see what coach @John_Kavanagh cooks up for Conor for this fight.

Gotta admit I never thought Conor would take this fight. Win or lose I respect him for coming back to the worst matchup he could ask for. Who you got? #Repost @ufc
