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

[TIMELESS TRUTH]

Conor's "fans" are pathetic, they'll celebrate if Conor wins a circle jerk.

 

[Soul On Ice]

Conor should be stripped but it's hilarious to see everyone celebrate yesterday and be crying today

 

[fiftywattmafia]

Conor will avoid the fucking winner, they are just compounding the mess they have already made.

Fair enough, very possible.

 

[LockardTheGOAT]

Brooklym is BEAUTIFUL this time of year.

Does this matter Sherbros? If they stripped Conor then the two other fight for a "real" belt and they let Conor fight the winner either way. Symbolically, sure he should be stripped. Wouldn't change anything. But let the outrage and shock commence....

Interim Championships have no official linage, and an Interim Champion is never referred to as a former champion of the division. So ya, it matters. If Conor isn't fighting till September, then make Ferguson vs Khabib for the real Lightweight Championship.

 

[king of theRing]

He is getting the same cheap ass belt and same paycheck anyway so it doesnt matter

[Apollo33]

lol actually I don't really care anymore

I guess it's just a belt

 

[IamStryker]

Tony and Khabib should refuse to fight for that. Fucking retarded.

 

[Fatal Catro]

It's weird how so many people who call themselves MMA fans are more interested in seeing the fights that make the most revenue than seeing the best fight the best and a system based on merit.

 

[ssBaldy]

Conor must give great blow jobs. This is a fucking joke.

I gues Dana likes the mustache tickling his balls

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

UFC wants Khabib to win so they can have Khabib vs Conor in Russia

Yes that's very true, but the odds of Khabib fighting twice in one year is very unlikely.

 

[UL]

pathetic but I'm not surprised

stripping conor means no more fights

 

[llperez22]

I’m guessing they still get paid like it’s for real belt right? I’m just executed for the fight. Connor doesn’t want to bang with them both so this way he gets to fight just one of them and keep his mystique a little longer before he gets knocked down a peg.

 

[UhHuhSure]

pathetic but I'm not surprised

stripping conor means no more fights

Thats what I was saying, if they strip him they let him off the hook.

They’re not MMA fans they’re Conor fans.

How is Khabib best. Hes fought one top 5 guy on his career. His hypetrain is out of control.

 

[Fatal Catro]

At 155 who are your two best fighters ?.
The guy who has 1 fight at 155 in the UFC ?.

I think it's worth noting that if they're gonna have a press conference to discuss the event, they're hardly going to announce something as big as stripping McGregor or making this fight for the undisputed belt AHEAD of the fucking press conference, are they?

As of today and until they say otherwise, Ferguson is the interim champ. Fuck, he could go INTO a fight for the undisputed belt and STILL be the interim champ until her gets his hand raised.
