Prediction: Khabib beats Tony in April, Conor fights Khabib in Russia in September.

[Peteyandjia]

The UFC has booked Tony vs. Khabib in April, but they specifically made it for the 'Interim' title. This tells me that talks with Conor are going somewhat hopefully, or at least not horribly bad.

It also got leaked last week that the UFC has reserved a date in September for their first-ever show in Russia. They ain't doing that without hoping Khabib is on the card.

So these two together tell me what I think is the UFC's plan: they hope Khabib beats Tony in April, so they can do a gigantic show in Russia for the title against Conor.

This is my prediction anyway. You will all see.

I will bump this thread when my prediction comes true.

















































and I will delete this thread if my prediction ends up being full of shit

 

[frandie2b]

I think that's what the UFC (and everyone else) is hoping.

But who does Conor face after he KOs Khabib?

 

[SoberAwakening]

Conor doesn't want anything to do with either T-Ferg or Khabib.

T-Ferg and Khabib are passionate about this fight game. Conor is passionate about the money game.

 

[Jackonfire]

Yeah, that makes sense.

Here's hoping Tony wins and throws a wrench into those plans.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

If Khabib wins vs Tony, then yes

IF Tony wins, Khabib vs Eddie in Russia

 

[Treeloy]

Ill say conor fights diaz again

 

[Frankie Baby!]

But who does Conor face after he KOs Khabib?

When Conor wakes up from that dream of him KOing Khabib, he'll remember he's retired.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Conor ain't fightin. GTFO.

 

[Frankie Baby!]

Khabib is easily gonna be a HUGE star when this happens.

But who does Conor face after he KOs Khabib?

lol dude is hamburger now... who gives a fuck about mcnuggets !!!

FUCK CONOR !!!

 

[Reach4theSky]

This is what I believe will happen as well..

 

[BoD 2.0]

UFC is in a bad spot. They can't hold up the division until September. So they have to book a fight between Khabib and Tony in April. But that risks derailing Khabib before the big Russia card.

 

[BoD 2.0]

I think their plan is to have Conor fight GSP.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

This has been the plan all along.

Khabib is the biggest fight possible and that's the fight Conor wants. From his perspective he's the champion and these two should have already fought for the #1 Contender spot. All this drama is only making the fights bigger.

Conor will fight the winner in September.

I'm still sick that Tony has to defend an interim belt

 

[ortizgnp]

That would be cool. But would the UFC really put Conor on a PPV in Russia?

 

[Sakuraba7]

Khabib beats Tony, then defends the belt in Russia but not against Conor. Conman is stripped or ducks.

It might even be a Tony rematch; that scenario also applies if Tony ends up winning the first time.

That's my prediction.
