WHY WOULD THE UFC PUT THIS FIGHT TOGETHER? HOW DOES IT MAKE SENSE?
Either 1) Khabib is a shell of himself from two knee surgeries or has tons of ring rust and loses to Conor in a vicious, very quick KO that prevents the UFC from hyping Khabib as the second coming of Fedor (what they were planning on doing on Fox) or 2) Khabib is at least 90% of himself and takes Conor down repetitively on route to an easy 25 minute decision, and Conor's hype disappears as well as his cash cow title shot.
Who the FUCK wants either of those things?
Not to mention Khabib's two year layoff and odd style makes him not very casual fan friendly, whereas the other options (Faber, Diaz, Pettis, Cowboy) are all INCREDIBLY popular options, three of which will stand with Conor and put on a spectacular striking show.
Plus you are asking the UFC to remove a MAIN EVENT FIGHT FROM FOX in Khabib vs Ferguson. What are they going to replace it with??
Anyway you slice it, putting this fight together is fucking dumb and the people who want to see this fight are dumber.
