News Dana White talks about trying to get Khabib to fight again

people talk shit about Dana, but i hope he succeeds in gettin Khabib back.

 

[DaleBoca]

He’d probably want it to be GSP and wants GSP to win, so Dana could push for a trilogy. That’s his goal. Or another fight with Conor and if Conor manages to win, a trilogy there.

Baby please don’t leave me type situation here.....

dana coming off as a lost puppy dog.

 

[Bouboumaster]

GSP or nothing

Oliviera is the fight I want to see. Maybe if he takes the Gaethje fight & beats him quicker than Khabib did he could entice Khabib. Or do the same to Poirier if Poirier beats Conor.

Dana has a tough task of being convincing enough to break Khabib's promise to his Mother that he will never fight again. Money might not be enough this time

Maybe Dana should schedule a meeting with Khabib's mother instead

Dana coming off more thirsty by the the minute...

 

[Call-of-Cthulhu]

I almost bought into Dana's sincerity, until he kept talking.

Dana's only real interest is "another big money fight," not Khabib's true wishes or legacy.

If Dana really wants Khabib to fight, then he needs to make the GSP happen, because Khabib's father didn't just want "30-0"; he wanted Khabib to face GSP. (These are also Khabib's wishes.)

If Dana had a brain, he would realize Khabib doesn't give two shits about Conor. Also, if Dana had any integrity, he would articulate that Conor has done nothing to warrant a rematch. Nothing in the first fight and nothing since then, either.

What's also unfortunate is Dana's clear preference of Conor over Poirier. He basically shits on Dustin, and already has written him off.

For Dana, it's all about the money and "a big event," it's not about Khabib at all or what he wishes, which is especially sad considering Khabib's absolute consistency and body of work over Conor's.

Even Dustin Poirier has shown more heart, consistency, and mettle in the trenches than Conor McGregor.

Sickening, really.

"Gonna press him for one more".

What exactly is one more going to achieve?

Fine for me, as a fight fan.

But for Dana "That's fu**ing illegal" White, what is he trying to cash in on? One more Conor fight?

 

[Wreckless]

Didn't Dana say when a fighter says the R word they should retire?

Didn't he say he would never try to talk a fighter out of retirement?

Pink bozo strikes again

Don't you ever talk about his fucking mom.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

If it's just 1 more fight, not sure why he is so fixated on this? If it's all about the Conor rematch, Dana should be thinking about trying to get 4 or 5 more fights out of Conor.. Another loss to Khabib, and Conor could be done with MMA for good..

 

[The XL]

Just let the dude fight GSP.

 

[Castiglione]

Dana thinks Conor is going to beat Khabib in the rematch and then Khabib would have to fight more to get to that trilogy fight. Conor would make Khabib fight at least 3 times to give him the trilogy cuz Conor would have fought 2 more to get to the rematch. Thus Khabib fights at least 5 times more. Conor rematch, 3 LW sacrificial lambs and Conor trilogy.

Dana plays the short and long game at the same time here.

 

[Credo]

I mean for how long has GSP been retired now?

Is he still an option for Khabib? That boat has sailed a long time ago.

 

[fightfan70]

dana coming off like a physco ex girfriend.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Too late and pointless. Does beating a 40 year old GSP add to his legacy?
