If this fight comes to fruition, it will draw in a huge audience from all over the world. McGregor has a massive fan following in Ireland and has become a household name. His style of fighting is crowd-pleasing and top of that, he is excellent at selling fights on the microphone.

On the other hand, Gaethje is a brawler who constantly moves forward on his opponents and crumbles them with his pressure. His fights are always entertaining to the fans. It’s “kill or get killed” when Gaethje fights.

Stylistically, the matchup favours McGregor more than Gaethje. Gaethje’s style of constantly moving forward is perfect for Conor to land his counters. “The Highlight” is also susceptible to body shots as he always moves forward with a high guard. Both fighters have an excellent kicking game and power to knock each other out. However, it depends on who implements it well.

Gaethje has elite wrestling in his repertoire but never uses it as an offence. However, this could work against him while fighting an athlete such as Conor McGregor. Many fans believe that Gaethje has a ‘puncher’s chance’ against McGregor. But, the world of MMA is unpredictable and anything can happen.
