Why does everyone think Khabib deserves a shot at the title?

[Redeemer]

Its funny to me that everyone wants to talk about contender legitimacy for a shot at Conor. Yet nobody wants to talk about how Conor leap frogged everyone at 155 for a title shot

Conor haters

Ferguson for titleshot

Khabib vs Alvarez, winner gets titleshot

"Khabib vs Alvarez"

?

 

[Stevanchez]

Both Khabib and Ferguson deserve it. Unfortunately, they are probably gonna have to eliminate each other for it.

Khabib:
- 24-0
- 8-0 in UFC
- 8 straight wins in UFC
- 4 top 15 wins(Johnson, RDA, Healy(Rankings), Tibau)
- 3 top 10 wins(Johnson, RDA, Healy(Rankings))


Ferguson:
- 22-3
-12-1 in UFC
- 9 straight wins in UFC
- 4 top 15 wins(RDA, Barboza, Tibau, Thompson)
- 2 top 10 wins(RDA, Barboza)
- 1 top 5 win(RDA)

Let him and Ferg fight it out while McTappsy is on maternity leave

Just because Khabib says so, doesn't make it so. It's understandable for him to push his own case for the title shot but to see a bunch of shertards parrot it makes me cringe.

#1 he hasn't fought anyone in top 5 besides RDA 2 years ago

#2 his last two fights were against guys like Michael jOhnson (middling contender) and Darel horacher (who THE FK is that guy?)

LOL

 

[frandie2b]

Who is this 'everybody'? Lol


He is behind Tony and Nate.

Nate ??? Loool

 

[gfunkwave]

Besides Ferguson, is there anyone else who deserves the shot more than Khabib?

 

[bukofezra]

He's undefeated, while Conor was strangled into submission, barely won the 2nd Nate fight, and got a title shot....if Conor deserved it, why the fuck doesn't Khabib?

 

[TheRassler]

Nate ??? Loool

Nate is 2-0 against Conor, much more deserving than Khabib.

 

[KinG]

He has been my nr pick for years now , its the way he fight the skills and power he has thats why he has been nr one for me for a long long time in LW

 

[Paladin]

Really doesn't mean much. Look at his last few opponents. His best win was against RDA.

I'm sure Cogar has done more with his 10-0 record when he got the shot.. or Wiedman at 9-0

 

[UJustGotChaeld]

Because no one deserves one more than him.

 

[freaky]

because he is ranked #1 and ferguson is ranked #2. but can't go wrong with either. i'm glad they are fighting for the #1 spot though. or is it for IC?

 

[bettergenes]

Interim. 5-round fight. Can't wait.
