Should Makhachev go up and take the 170 strap

[TheJohnnyWalkerEra]

then come back down and take the LW belt when Khabib retires?

That way he won't have to wait for Khabib

This ain't rocky 4 foo
Don't get machachev killed

Yes. I'd like to see Makhachev/Owlman.

nah he just need a signature win against a top 10 fighter and the hype will begin. Hopefully for him he can fight Al iaquinta next.

 

[fortheo]

I wouldn't mind seeing him at 170. He's bigger than khabib.

 

[ArmenianAssasin]

I don't think he'd do very well at 170

Won't be able to deal with the size of guys like Usman/Colby/Woodley

But they arent giving him any top 10 opponents at LW.

This is a good idea. They don't want him to move up the LW rankings due to Khabib, so he can take some fights at WW for the time being? Or catch-weight bouts at 160-165.

He'd destroy Nate Diaz lol, but Nate said he doesnt want to fight any "suckers" who can wrestle.

Yes please, go up to 170 and get murdered and then come back down and remain a gatekeeper.

The guy Conor ducked not too long ago

 

[You Will Vote For Dreyga]

I’ve been thinking this too. He’d definitely be a force to reckon with up there

unless a contract was in front of Conor and he said no, then you are talking pish

 

[MayhemMonkey]

oh and TS... no

Before it got to that point, Conor ducked in a twitter reply.

Im guessing Conor asked him who he was?

that goof is no where near a fight with Conor... let him get a couple top 10 wins first before we start talking about him fighting the top guys

Nah he sent a lengthy tweet (much longer than Islam's), basically saying no he wants a Khabib rematch not a fight with Makhachev.

He knew more about Islam than most of us do - for ex I didnt know he was the team nutritionist till Conor tweeted so

He supposedly walks around close to what they do though. Josh Thompson has stated many times that Islam is bigger then Khabib out of fight camp. I doubt Covington is much bigger then Islam.
