UFC wants Khabib VS Ferguson on 219

[ReadWrite]

The UFC has a history of Indian giving with title shots.

I'd like to see it but how can you trust the guy to make it into the octagon on fight night

 

[technocrat]

- Why would Tony take a late notice fight? Especially when it's not Conor. A full camp would take at least 2 months.
- If UFC says Conor will never fight Tony, what the hell makes you think Conor will fight Khabib? So strip Conor first.
- Let Khabib prove first he can make weight and have a fight without getting injured.

Yeah but Tony isn't going to fight Conor (and Conor should be stripped).

So who does he fight ? Khabib is the best opponent he can get.

Conor should be stripped, yeah!
Khabib should fight Barboza.
Then, in the spring, for the vacant title, Tony should fight the winner of Barboza vs Khabib.

Always knew it was a mistake putting Khabib in against Barboza. He has the potential to lose and that'll fuck things up massively...

Khabib could beat anybody at LW...but i also think he's gonna get put to sleep before he can get his ground game going once in a while. His stand-up is pretty terrible. Why does it seem like they're trying to gift this guy shots when he has no fans and a wrestling base.

Why would Tony duck defending the belt and why would UFC give Khabib the fight when he has Barboza to try and get thru first

 

[VVarhead]

So Conor ain't fighting Tony?

Duck.

If you were Ferguson's manager, name one reason why he should accept this fight?
