[Poll] Predict Khabib's decision

[Psychedelic]

Today's greatest event is Dana White's reveal of Khabib's decision. The fight card is nice as well, but as a real UFC fan I am more interested in the next chapter of Khabib's retirement storyline. So let us speculate: what do you think Dana will reveal to us ?

IMO, it will be a combination of two things:

- Khabib will not be returning to fight for the LW title. Either he retires or he fights GSP at catchweight.

- Conor McGregor vs Dustin Poirier is now for the lightweight title.

If McGregor vs Poirier becomes a title fight, I will lose my shit. This is exactly what needs to be done imo.

This ones tricky. He seems like he’d return for the GSP fight. But Dana was adamant about it not happening. And Dana being the man of his word, that he is...

 

[Marko Polo]

Looks like Khabib has set up some kind agreement for UFC to cross promote Eagle Fighting Championships

 

[Kos Fan]

Hoping for Khabib VS Oliveira, expecting another Khabib destruction of Conor.

That's a good guess.
EFC will be a farm org for the UFC most probably.

and Conor will be gifted a TS again of course

I think Dana's pitch wasn't enticing enough, Khabib will officially vacate, stay retired and the winners of next weekends main and co-main will fight for the belt.

 

[Woliwo]

I picked that Khabib will return to defend the belt.
Because I expect lies from Dana.

 

[TerrorTimmy]

I realize it's probable that Khabib stays retired and they elevate Conor vs Dustin to a title fight.

But I'm hoping for the GSP fight. I'm a fan of both and would love to see it, but without title implications. No belt on the line, just a fun fight for legacy

He will officially announce his retirement. Have a proper ceremony and final presscon/interview questions, and then officially relinquish his belt. Kinda like GSP's retirement ceremony in 2019. I won't mind if I'm wrong though. I'd love to see him come back.

That would be lame.

Just go full WWE and make Conor vs Dustin for the title, to raise the stakes, sell PPV's, and make Conrad's next fight a title defense.

The storyline is infinitely better if DP vs McG is a title fight.

I think the only way Khabib returns is to fight GSP. With that said, I'm fairly sure that will not be agreed to by Dana in this meeting he and Khabib are having so.....

 

[Iron Skin]

I hope he fights one more time, even if it's against MacGruber.

 

[BADBOYKILLA]

I find it funny people think he would fight conor again which does nothing for legacy , he will fight gsp and retire 29 and 1 with dignity

 

[WhitestKidU’Know]

Sure, only if you read bits a pieces of the story. Conor has done absolutely nothing to deserve a title shot. If people what to ignore that part of the story then sure the storyline is better.

If he was going to defend his title, then the Conor vs Poirer and Hooker VS Chandler events would not be affected at all. Dana just said they were. So he's not defending.

The Rock didn't need to do anything to fight CM Punk for the title at Rasslemania.

This is the entertainment business, not a freaking Karate tournament.

 

[Broke Lester]

He's going to retire and become an Imam.

 

[MMAcolyte]

UFC Canada just created an Instagram page like yesterday....I want to think this is an indicator that GSP is coming back, but I think it's just a coincidence.

He's going to retire and become an Imam.

Masha'Allah, brilliant idea.

He should become a Da'iyya under the guidance of the charismatic Mufti Menk before becoming an Imam.

 

[theTKDguy]

He's clearly vacating the belt, to move up and fight gsp.

Conor vs poirier is for the vacant lw title
Hooker vs chandler is #1 contender fight
(Last two are facts)
