The disc is an unfair advantage. Make it blade on blade and Conan wins.

Assuming Conan avoids the disc then he wins easily. He would probably take off a leg then finish the Predator off.
Although could the Predator's wrist blades break the sword? It is an unknown metal and the Predator is strong enough to impale a man and lift him up...not to mention he could trap the sword in his wrist blades as well and dis-arm Conan.
Hanzo's sword held up just fine to the Predators blades.

Why not, it doesn't track its opponent and the only reason it killed Peter Keyes in was the fact he had several slabs of meat blocking his vision. The fight is in an arena, so no obscured vision.
Conan would keep distance and wait for it to be thrown, then drop to the floor. The disc will be embedded in some wall behind him. This isn't Kung Lao's hat, it doesnt move up and down at will, it moves in a straight, predictable line.
I'm not up-to-date with the new movie but I know it's in a jungle so that has zero bearing on whatever the disc does here.

This is from Predator II, right? What skills did that Predator show with his wrist-blade and disc, almost none and a cop kicked its ass in a blade fight.
I think it's just a generic Predator, the OP wasn't specific about that. I've already de-bunked the disc as a credible weapon because it can be avoided in the arena.
Conan would have better flexibility with the sword... the question is can the Predator use the wrist blades to 'hook' the sword away from Conan?
Conan's blade should hold up just fine. And Rob is gay.

It can be avoided in my opinion, it doesn't track the target and moves in a straight line towards the target. Conan could duck or move out of the way.
This is in an arena, no obstacles and Conan has full range of vision. Also in Pred 2 the Predator has to 'activate' the disk and then throw and that gives Conan a little bit of warning. Both should know about each others weapons, thats quite common in these threads.
It might be tricky for Conan with the short sword though, he'll have to get close and the Pred might exploit that...
