After one title defense at LW, Khabib might move up to welterweight

[executionermma]

MMA dagestan reports have been confirmed to be true later many times, he's usually on point when it comes to Russian fighters.

Huge if true?

 

[PEDS Help me Post]

Two belt champ.

Is normal.

 

[PlatinumAmerican]

Might not have a choice

 

[Thesnake101]

Sad to see that his Tiramisu addiction will affect his career in such a significant way.

 

[Touch of Death]

That's not good.

It's easy to look good if you fight every now and then but Tony has been fairly active and finishing fighters.

Hopefully Tony wins.

Now i'm curious what happens to his career if Ferguson finishes him

He would probably be given a number one contender fight, after all he would be 25-1. Shit's not complicated.

Original joke, dipshit.

... i'm obviously talking about which division he'd fight at, seems like his only motivation to stay at LW is the title defense, if he loses he probably moves up immediately

Hope he takes atleast 6months to put on some size, he needs to be atleast 180lbs shredded to compete at 170lbs with his style.

 

[A.S. Deep]

Beat Ferg to get belt
Beat Conor in Russia
Move up and beat the WW champ

Khabib can reach legend status in three fights if he does the above.

Conor vs Khabib for the inaugural 165 lbs belt

More than 180 pounds. Most WWs are in the 190s and there are a few like Woodley and Till that are probably 200 pounds. Being 180 pounds is LW nowadays.

 

[awymore]

Who else is there for him to fight at LW anyway after Ferg? With RDA's success at WW, it makes perfect sense for Khabib to move up there since he's already wrecked him once.

Word is Khabib is going to Mars with NASA to be the Martian world champ.

Lay off the crack......Conor IS NEVER coming back unless its a Mayweather circus MMA fight.

Conor is the biggest star in MMA, if the money is right he will come back

I feel like if Dustin Poirier finishes Gaethje he's next

 

[PeterGriffin]

I think he'll be reevaluating that choice after a few fights at WW.

Wouldn't put him above Eddie imo. Who also finished Gaethje and had a back and forth war with Poirier with no winner

If Poirier finishes Gaethje (big if but possible) they should rematch Eddie and Dustin in a five rounder on a fight night card
