UFC announced Tony/Khabib will NOT be for the REAL belt at UFC 223. Press conference this FRIDAY.

[The Young Wolf]

How long of a camp does that give Khabib after Ramadan?

Seems like its rigged for Conor to have a better chance

I don’t know how long Ramadan is compared to when they want the fight in September but my guess is there will be enough time. Probably helps khabib too. Less time for him to put on weight so he doesn’t have much of a chance to miss it.

I wouldn’t call it rigged. I would call it the UFC being smart and placing the unification bout in Russia vs Brooklyn

 

[Islam Imamate]

Honestly I don't really care, Khabib and Tony have proven a lot more at LW so whether its for the interim or "real" belt its the best fight to make at LW so as long we get to see it I'm happy.

I think Ramadan is sometime in late spring or early summer.

 

[LoneStalker]

Dana’s words point to a Conor return in September in Russia. Fact

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!!

Since when Dana's words qualify as FACT?
Holy cow.....

 

[magicmarker]

Without question it is. The money they stand to make from having the eventual unification bout in Russia vs Brooklyn is ridiculous. If khabib wins the interim belt, the PPV and gate record get broken again. Russia will go bananas.

What time of day would they have to air that ppv though.

 

[grihenrumet]

Conor runs this game I wish I had his children

Conor bless

Wow you want another man to impregnate you ...

 

[JsinLegacy]

Wow... I can't say I'm shocked though. Sad that this is the state of this division, that a healthy champ refuses to defend his belt against any contender.

Such a joke.

 

[krelianx]

What a fucking joke. Khabib and Tony should boycott the UFC.

 

[PROlogic]

This makes me so happy!!!!

Seeing the triggered sherdorks makes this even better: )

Conor was going to fight the winner anyway, so what does it matter if he keeps the belt? Nothing has changed. I like it better this way, so if/when Conor beats Khabib/Tony, it will be considered an official title defense. Then haters will have nothing left to use against Conor. "Bu bu but title defense" will finally end and be no more. Amazing times !

 

[grihenrumet]

Right desicion from UFC. Conor is rightful champ and deserves time off.. Tony can defend his toy belt

He-bitch conor needs more maternity leave?

 

[Islam Imamate]

Is that worth it if they lose fans and market share for stunts like this?

Would you really stop watching the UFC just because Khabib vs Tony is for the interim belt? I honestly don't care what they call the belt, I'm just hype we finally get to see this fight. These two guys have two of the best runs at LW, champ or not, so its one of the best LW title fights ever even though its for an interim belt. That's how dope LW is, the interim title fights are better than many legit title fights in other divisions.

 

[grihenrumet]

I think this utter nonsense. There is no way the Ferg should fight unless its for the real belt.

Do you know when the conference starts I looked all over can't find out when/where it starts

 

[The Young Wolf]

I think Ramadan is sometime in late spring or early summer.

I know it’s in the summer time but I don’t know how long it lasts vs the time in September they plan to have the fight

 

[Islam Imamate]

No. UFC just announced Tony defends his interim title

Tony's wins in UFC LW division: 13, 10 fight win streak(longest in UFC history)
Khabib's wins @LW: 9, undefeated
Conor's wins @LW: 1

Don't matter what they call the belt, Khabib and Tony are the two best LWs in the UFC right now.

 

[grihenrumet]

What time of day would they have to air that ppv though.

Why not Tony vs Khabib( both real mma fighters) in Russia ? I know Conor sells but he's a fraud who's been protected by Sean shelbty and Dana ,Joe Silva , Conor's act is Bs He's just a big mouth never fought real competition only where's he's had advantadge over his opponents beating up on midgets

There you go with your MMA prowess again...
Doing nothing more than sucking Irish taint, over and over, and over.
This shit IS rigged.....

Its between the dates May 15th to June 14th, give or take a day.

 

[The Young Wolf]

They will still Air it for 10 pm est. it will just be during the day in Russia most likely. They’ve had ppvs in Australia and in The Middle East. Russia will be no different
