If you were Dustin would you rather fight Khabib or Conor next?

[Egészségére!]

If you were Dustin would you rather fight Khabib or Conor next?

vs Khabib:
pros: shot at the "real" title and chance to be the first to beat an undefeated champion/living legend
cons: severe underdog, if lose what next, if lose small chance of facing Conor ever again

what else?

vs Conor:
pros: biggest money fight possible in any weight class, less of an underdog, avenge a loss, win and still get real title shot, win and might not face Khabib for title if Tony gets there first (for better or worse)
cons: lose and no title shot

what else?

It should be factored in that Dana apparently doesn't like Dustin so a loss either way will likely send him to the way back of the line. There's obviously risks either way, but given the choice which is the better career move? If it were possible should he forgo a Khabib title shot for a fight with Conor?

$$$ > Belt

100% Conor. Easier fight and more red panties....

 

[fractal]

He has a better chance at beating Conor than Khabib, so most definitely Conor. If he loses to either he is out of the picture completely.

 

[MoroccanFan]

Conor and it's not even close.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

Conor, it's the more favorable style match up and it would earn him more money.

 

[jk7707]

If he wants to win, Conor.

 

[LORCMOS]

Connor hands down...........it will even be more appealing for fans.....do we really want Khabib to LNP Dustin for at least 3 rounds before he gets KO or Tap ?!?!

 

[joeyjoejoe]

Take a stand as champion and call out Khabib, then threaten Conor so he takes notice. Basically he should just make it known that he's willing to defend his belt against anyone who’s willing to fucking show up.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

Khab if you want legitimacy and a chance to win the belt at 155 (interm = #1 contender)

conor if you want an easier fight and huge money.

 

[BoD 2.0]

Conor: Win and make alot of money.

Khabib: Lose and make alot, but not as much money.

 

[reddhelium]

if poirier chooses conor and loses, he might win the battle (payday), but lose the war (may never sniff a title shot).

i'd say he goes for khabib/the title.

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

conor, get paid more and conor knocks you out early again.


khabib, paid less and get mauled over multiple rounds.

 

[HomeRun916]

Conor no doubt.

 

[Kings MMA]

Obviously Conor. More money and a much easier fight.

 

[justadollop]

Conor, he stinks nowadays and he's a huge payday

while Khabib is a lesser payday and Dustin will probably get killed

 

[Wicked_1]

I would go for well paid vengeance. I think he has a way better shot vs conor, and would definitely get a nice check. If he did face and beat khabib it would set up a lot of stuff for him in the future including a conor fight, but it would be a smaller risk. If he loses to khabib then he lost to the guy everyone loses too and still may get a conor fight they can market with dustin going for revenge. His stick wouldn't drop as much losing to the champ as it would losing to conor

100% Conor. Easier fight and more red panties....

I'm probably in the minority, but I think Conor beats Dustin easier than Khabib.

Or at least quicker

 

[Dana's Moonface]

conor, get paid more and conor knocks you out early again.


khabib, paid less and get mauled over multiple rounds.

Good point

Conor probably finishes him in one, or two rounds at most.

Conor and it's not even close.
