Neither Tony or Khabib deserve to fight for the belt

[SeattleFightFan]

with all due respect TS, i don't think you're appreciating the subtlety and complexity of these negotiations.

but i especially like the clickbait approach of saying neither "deserve" it, and then jujitsu the content of the thread away from fight skillsets toward management. that was clever.

Tony's management is Conor's management.

Why else do you think he was crying for a raise right after he just signed a contract a year back? They don't give a shit bout Tony.


Khabib's OTOH, he's got the best management in the game.

Khabib's the one who lobbied for a fight with Conor which got him an interim title shot,
and then lobbied to have his opponent be only Tony (not Aldo) because he deserved it,
then when Khabib pulled out, Tony got the shot himself against Kevin Lee.

Khabib has done everything right in terms of negotiations; Tony has sat on his ass and cried.

Tony should drop his management agency and go somewhere else. What a massive conflict of interest that is.
