Media Ariel Helwani: Conor-Khabib rematch next, poor Tony Ferguson

[demetrio]

Conor should build himself up again.

Aldo never got his rematch. It would be fun to watch and it would sure sell a lot.

 

[Kilogram of meat]

You think conor is going to stick around if he beats khabib, him losing was the best thing to happen. If he beat khabib he would have nothing to prove because he beat stylistically his worst match up and the undefeated 26 mma fighter.

Well you're proving my point...

So either way the UFC booking him vs Khabib next is a bad idea, because according to you, if he won he'd be gone as well

 

[snackgod]

I highly doubt the UFC will do Khabib vs McGregor next. I still believe their goal is Khabib/ Ferguson and Diaz/McGregor on the same card. Also....Ferguson will not accept anything other than a title shot next he made that very clear after his last fight.

it still about making money.

so if tony want to sit until the stepemeber ppv than more power to him to fight khabib.

I just hope tony doesn't lost to another power cord.

 

[snackgod]

Conor is nuts man. Im not knocking Khabib but why would Conor want to fight a guy who dives for ankles? Its just a horrible style match-up.

Tony deserves the shot now.

money talks bs walks.

ESPN Ariel sucks. It's more obvious than ever that he doesn't give a shit about MMA anymore. When Conor retires Ariel will do the same.

Were you ever under the impression he cared ? Shame on you.

 

[jeff7b9]

Of course he isn’t.

The boycott started today when he cut short his free trial of Fight Pass.

Thank you for reminding me to cancel fightpass

 

[snackgod]

This is just wishful thinking on Ariel's part, nothing has been confirmed yet and we don't even know how long will Khabib's suspension last.

like he getting suspended at all.

conor and khabib will both be finded and get hours and in early 2019 the rematch is happening.

 

[snackgod]

Ariel is a huge Conor fan, everyone knows this. He's trying to conjure this up. Fact is Khabib is the champ, if Khabib says no, i'm gonna fight Tony next, wtf is the UFC gonna do? Strip him for wanting to fight the #1 contender instead of a guy he just finished? They couldn't do that, and they know it. Khabib knows it too. That's why you have Dana coming out and saying Tony deserves it.

money still matter

after the brawl it even bigger than it would of been with out it,

 

[ColombianFist]

that's the thing right now with the UFC: they only care for money and Mcg will draw dumb casuals to see him getting beat up, while Tony still doing his SnapJitsu and getting pass by on a title shot.

Honestly, if you want to see MMA as a sport watch other mma promotions because the UFC become Ultimate Fighting for Conor.

 

[snackgod]

Makes no sense unless everyone just wants to get paid then fuck off , probably won't see either guy for at least a year .

your right there not fighting again this early but in early 2019 the biggest rematch in history will be,.

 

[Sjb1888]

Tony will be taken care of financial, and he'll get his shot ...

It was always gonna go this way.

 

[snackgod]

Khabib should just move up to welterweight and take his beating like a man. Instead of prancing around at lightweight calling himself the Floyd of MMA like Ric Flair

he walks around like Bubba Ray Dudley doing extreme weight cuts having seizures and everything for a muscle advantage at lightweight

an you think conor doesn't cut a shit ton of weigh 2.

 

[Soul On Ice]

He's only speculating like the rest of us

Khabib or Conor or both might be suspended for all or most of 2019

 

[snackgod]

Lol, Khabib will not accept an immediate rematch with Conor. The only way the UFC can get Khabib to accept would be to get on their knees and start begging, and give Khabib the biggest paycheck in UFC history.

the only reason the rematch is happening is cause it makes everyone a shit ton of money still

 

[dc007]

Anyone who believes this is ridiculous. Helwani don't work for the UFC and this is just basically his assumption. Anyone thinking this is something real is retarded

Yeah but at the same time, we all know this is going to happen because it's the potential for the most money.

 

[snackgod]

Woodleys manager should look into calling out Khabib and exposing him forcing his hand to fight. It would be epic if they do it the right way

sure of Woodley can make 155 lets do it.

 

[snackgod]

He's only speculating like the rest of us

Khabib or Conor or both might be suspended for all or most of 2019

they both get fined rememeber jon jones nate and conor were only give a fine and hours to complete.

 

[hot carl]

If Dana wants to milk Conor for as long as possible, he shouldn't let Conor fight Khabib again and get destroyed

Diaz and Poirier are winnable fights for him, and they're more entertaining fights anyway

Conor and khabib 2 makes a ton of money.

Conor and Nate or Dustin makes some money.

If Conor loses to nate or Dustin (not to say he will, but he might) there is no ton of money fight with khabib.

If Conor is going to or might lose, might as well face that risk in a huge fight, rather than a big fight.

 

[supnmunm]

Ariel sucks since he went to ESPN. Sellout.

 

[Captaingh]

The UFC is no longer a sport per say... but sport entertainment WWE style! And Ask yourself this: if WWE was somehow real fighting (let's pretend for a second... is there anyway the rematch wouldn't be next? When you just had the #1 selling MMA PPV of all time... and the melee that happened afterwards? This is not even a question! The rematch will be bigger... or does minimum 2 Mill buys! Dana will simply frame it as giving Conor a Thank You for all he's done for the company! There's honestly no way to say no to a guaranteed 30 Mill Fight... there's just no way! Integrity ain't worth 30 Millions! The same way if Ronda somehow decided to come back ... she'd be getting a title shot after getting blasted within 48 seconds!
