Conor ducking Khabib?!

Sure, the guy on a 10-fight winstreak is an easy match-up for everyone.
Because this has been done so many times at Lightweight, right?

fucking casuals.
How can you still be so oblivious about the skill, heart and creativity that Ferguson brings into this sport?

When you weigh 180-190#, and you are told that you need to weigh 145 in 2 weeks, what is going to happen? You're going to barely eat, spend those weeks cutting weight instead of training for a specific opponent, and you won't have had the time to reach peak performance for things like cardiovascular endurance. To your point, these are elite athletes at the highest levels of a sport, and the little differences matter A LOT at that level. This isn't exactly your high school fitness test where you need to knock out 5 pull-ups and run a mile in under 10:00 to pass.

The Mendes fight proved why Conor won't fight someone who will grapple him. He knows that he will get manhandled, and that's exactly why the UFC cherry-picks his opponents to make sure he stays winning. They want their cash cow, he wants to be paid and stay relevant, and all the fighters on the roster stay pissed. The UFC has become a bullshit promotion, and being the champ definitely doesn't mean that you're the best fighter in your division these days.

WTF is this. Conor calling out Tony Ferguson. Another tailor-made perfect match up for Conor.

He's never going to fight an elite wrestler with elite ground game. Ducky Mc Duckor.

Khabib made himself irrelevant by not fighting in a year, get over him already.

I'm not sure Conor is interested in fighting anyone in the Top 10. But yeah, he's definitely going to avoid people who can take him down at will and beat him up on the ground like Mendes was doing in the first round of their fight.

I dont think conor is a duck, but this fight is too valuable for all not to have. Conor is a business man, he knows the payday involved here.

WTf are u talking about - khabin isn't a draw - at all. If conor was going for the pure money play he'd be going for mayweather 2

In mma.. Who else could conor fight that would be as big of a fight? Plus he has an actual bome to pick w khabib. Conor is for sure the draw in mma, like floyd was in boxing. Would conor vs nate sell more than conor vs khabib? I think not.
