Does Khabib have to relinquish his belt b4 his next fight...

[Trifick]

In order to be a free agent? Is that how to avoid the champion clause? Looks like he has one more fight in the UFC, then he's gone.

"One more fight in the UFC", where do you get this from?

 

[kflo]

how does one simply "relinquish" their belt?

By retiring and unretiring? Or he can throw it in the lake like Stone Cold (although that was the Rock's belt?)

Just vacate the belt. What do you mean?

It's what his manager said.

you can't just vacate a belt to terminate your contract. they have to let you vacate the belt.

Like GSP did to Bobby Knuckles while shaking.

again, the ufc has to let you vacate the belt. you can't just vacate to get out of a contract clause.

I know man just being a smart ass

Khabib's going to vacate to avoid the best LW in the world, Tony Ferguson?

Yeah, that sounds about right.

 

[FreddieRoachsVoice]

Lol @ actually thinking he is going to leave the UFC. In b4 the inevitable "we worked it out" Dana White headline

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

He can't just vacate the belt. The only way he could get out of the UFC before his contract expires is to retire and if he's champion when his contract expires I don't think he can leave either, they have champion clauses so he would have to retire to leave the UFC unless he fights out his contract while not being champ.

Khabib isn't going anywhere so nothing to worry about. UFC has spent to much time and money on building him up(mostly him costing them on pulling out or not able to fight because of injuries).

Or throw it in the trash at a conference like Riddick Bowe
And that was the last time I watched wrasslin when Austin and the Rock were there.

Ducking GSP?

 

[L.T.]

He has one or two fights left been saying it since immediately after he won the belt. Cant safely make 155 anymore. Legacy. Undefeated. He'll be done very soon.
