Kevin Lee on Khabib vs. McGregor: ‘I think Conor probably sleeps him’

The upcoming UFC 229 main event between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor is one of the most anticipated fights in the promotion’s history, with both fighters in the prime of the careers and masters of their individual crafts.

Khabib, the current lightweight champion, is one of the most feared grapplers in the sport. Whereas McGregor, the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champ, has arguably the best hands in MMA and one of the most impressive knockout ratios in the lighter divisions.

Fellow UFC lightweight Kevin Lee, who will be keeping a close eye on UFC 229’s main event, has gone back-and-forth on the matchup and believes ‘The Notorious’ will probably catch ‘The Eagle’ with his vaunted left hand.
