Contrary to what many believed would be the case, Conor is looking leaner and more ripped than before.  Rumours are that Conor’s camp, in addition to the occasional game of “touch butt”, have focussed on stamina and cardio in training.  Clearly they are preparing for a 5 round fight.

Expect Conor to get in and get out with his punches.  He will do enough to bloody Nate’s scar-tissue filled head, and he will be too fast for Nate to hit.

Judging by photos that each have posted to their social media accounts lately, the size difference between the two fighters will be more pronounced this time around than it was at UFC 196.

Nate has posted photos of himself looking bigger than former Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell on Twitter, while Conor’s got photos on his Instagram looking like a hobbit training with a team of giants.

Conor could very well earn a victory this way, but that won’t be how Nate sees it.  At UFC 200, in an interview with Joe Rogan, Nate made it very clear that “in the reality of war he’s dead.  I killed him.”  As in if there wasn’t a referee around Nate would have just kept choking him until his head popped off.
