Khabib Nurmagomedov calls for McGregor vs. Diaz 3, wants Tony Ferguson fight at UFC 219

Is there really any rush? Have Conor's fight on St Paddy's day. Every pub in the world ordering the PPV.

I can understand a HW worried about injuries but what are Conor or Ferg going to injure, their ankles puffing their chest out?
 
Khabib hasn't fought in forever. It's been so long, the last time he fought was the last time LW champ Conor Mcgregor fought in the UFC. Fucking asshole. He was having back surgery while Conor was ducking contenders and getting KO'd for 100 mil in another sport. But yeah, fuck Khabib for training too hard and having his liver give out on him. That makes sense. Ps - He would maul Conor.
 
Can always count on misleading clickbait articles/titles to lead to fighter bashing.

It was already posted earlier today that in that same interview Khabib said he'd fight Barboza if UFC makes Conor-Tony, but if they make Conor-Nate he wants to fight Tony

Who else will Tony fight if Conor fights someone else? Everyone is booked or has already fought him.

Khabib has also beaten RDA, who is a black belt, right before he iced Benson.

Your opinion of Khabib is irrelevant. If Tony can't fight Conor then there is no other logical option.

Then if Tony and Conor do fight, Khabib fights Edson.

There is nothing to bitch about.

Dana said Tony vs Conor should be next but who knows with Dana but there is reason to believe that this fight is next.

I never said Khabib was irrelevant I just don't think he deserves a title shot at this point, 155 is stacked and Khabib can't even stay healthy and make weight, lets see him make weight and get a couple wins over legit contenders. There are other fighters at 155 that are more deserving of a title shot than Khabib.

And Khabib beat RDA back in 2014, Khabib has only fought 3 times in the last 4 years and he's pulled out of 6 fights lol

Yeah If Conor fights Diaz then there isn't anyone else for Tony to fight.

If that were the case Tony vs Khabib should be for the Undisputed and McGregor must be stripped. Vacate or Defend. Tony is the Interim Champion and is healthy and available for a Unification bout so should Conor refuse to defend and fight Diaz in a non title bout he must be stripped. If he wants to defend vs Diaz the UFC must refuse as Diaz doesn't deserve a title shot and Tony is ready and waiting. No option other then Defend or Vacate.

RDA is one fight away from getting a title shot at 170, while Alvarez should've lost to the #8 ranked 155er in his last fight, but was bailed out by a terrible decision from Herb.

Plus Khabib beat MJ easily when he was coming off his most impressive win ever (1st round KO of Dustin) while Gaethje was almost KO'd by Khabib's leftovers multiple times.

Khabib got rocked for the 5 seconds he stood with MJ. Gaethje fought MJ to where he is at his absolute strongest and best shot of beating anyone for the whole fight and still murdered him in the end.

RDA has 0 wins worth a damn at WW.

Alvarez wrecked RDA. You conveniently omit that. Neil Magny and Tarec are average WWs. Tarec is done and Magny will never earn a shot at WW because he isn't good enough. He now gets a shot at beating a shot Lawler. Lets see how he does. It will still be his 1st win that is really good if he does happen to win.

First off, Khabib has not pulled out of 6 fights. He got injured on for the first and third Tony fight. Tony pulled out of the second due to injury. Then I believe 2 Cowboy fights didn't leave the scheduling phase because was still recovering.

Second RDA back then was on a 5 fight win streak and went on another 5 fight win streak after losing to Khabib. He didn't magically get better after Khabib beat him. He was still very good back then.

Name 1 LW that deserves title shot right now that is not booked.

Show me a GIF/video of Khabib getting rocked please.

MJ tagged him twice on the feet, but at no point was Khabib visibly hurt by those shots; in fact, he rolled with them well. Gaethje on the other hand, was stumbling around and was on the verge of collapsing before MJ blew his gas tank and did most of Justin's work for him.

MJ got hit with a knee to the ribs/stomach and died

Sure. As long as belts are being defended or solidified then I don't care.

Gaethje will have 2 wins over the UFC that > Khabib's 2 best wins.

MJ + Alvarez > MJ + RDA.

Khabib isn't fighting before the end 2017.

ha, in no way a win over eddie is bigger than a win over RDA. head to head RDA lost, sure, but he has a way more impressive resume in the LW division than eddie. although when khabib beat RDA he had not become champ yet
 
Why would the UFC want a guy like Khabib who barely fights once a year anymore to be their champion? Conor is bad enough not defending at all but at least he's fighting period. Khabib is good and all but his inactivity sucks. The only thing keeping him afloat is the russian fanbase he has.
 
Khabib had his fucking chance and blew it. So sick of this dude and his fanbase feeling so damn entitled when he's done very little to earn anything. He's in no position whatsoever to ask for anything.

No he doesn't.

Their 4 biggest wins are probably these:
Alvarez:
RDA
Pettis
Melendez
Chandler

RDA:
Cerrone
Diaz
Henderson
Pettis

Look, by next month it will be exactly one year since he last competed. If he doesn't have a fight within the next 90 days, he gets removed from the rankings.

Then they better strip Conor the same day because they both last fought at UFC 205. Conor has one month until it's been over a year since he won his belt and he has done virtually nothing with it ... and he wasnt even injured.

RDA, destroyed cerrone as champ (and won against him twice), completely dominated nate and also destroyed bendo, and COMPLETELY DOMINATED pettis

while eddie ok KO'ed RDA, what a shame. boring ass decision against pettis, and the other ones were not even in the UFC. melendez fight I didn't watch, but he got gifted a decision against chandler
 
Dude needs to stfu and take whatever he's given. He's not in a position to negotiate or call for anything.
