Dana: "As long as Conor is willing to fight by March, we could do Khabib X Tony"

[Soul On Ice]

...And the winner fights Conor






Or Conor could just fight Tony in March and Khabib fights the winner
Basically saying if Conor is willing to fight by March...He won't fight in March

The hell is this guy talking about?

[JT RIPPER]

He won't be ready...it'll take him until march to book all his outfit rentals for the press conferences alone

 

[Karelinator]

When title had been on the shelf for more than year, there's 0 reason to kill contenders...

One may just get the shot after the other.


Sadly, they just may do it....

 

[209NickDiaz]

Tony's not ready by March

[Jopious Extronimous]

That makes no sense at all. Does he mean if "conor's willing to fight again in the future at some point" they'll do Khabib vs Tony? So if he's not willing, you won't do Khabib vs Tony....?

I'm not sure even Dana knows what the fuck he was talking about.

 

[DaleBoca]

So... if Conor wants to fight in March they can do Tony v Khabib? Then who is Conor going to fight in March?

 

[DLX]

so their gonna do Tony/Khabib in february, and have the the winner fight in march???

 

[JayJayFrench]

Dana negotiating with Conor.

 

[ortizgnp]

Conor should drop the belt, fight GSP in March/April and then Tony/Khalabeeb this fall.

Profit.

 

[CasterMard]

Conor is eager to fight, but Tony needs to defend his interim belt to gain some traction. Winner of Khabib Tony might finally be worthy of a red panty night.

 

[Carsormyr]

If Conor wants to fight in March, Khabib can fight Tony. If Conor doesn't want to fight in March, Khabib can fight Tony.

 

[Nezahualcoyotl]

You’re all missing what’s going on here.

If Conor is willing to take some other fight by March, then the UFC is willing to do Tony v. Khabib.

It looks like Conor might be getting another “money fight” instead.

 

[TripTictonic]

lol Who didn’t see this shit coming from miles away? Conor was never going to defend against Tony. Easily the worst champ in UFC history.

 

[Meathead Jock]

so their gonna do Tony/Khabib in february, and have the the winner fight in march???

Lol it makes no sense.

If Conor is willing to fight by March just set up Tony vs Conor. Clearly he isn't so just strip him and make Tony vs Khabib for the real belt

 

[ThinkBig500]

What is he saying or reacting to?

 

[Lay N Pray 101]

Ya know, back in the day the interim champion defended their interim title because the champion was unable to compete. Now these fucks (THE UFC, WME, and Dana) use the interim title as a system to destroy potential contenders. No, Ferguson should not be fighting Khabib. Ferguson should be fighting McGregor for the unification of the LW title. McGregor needs to defend in March or be stripped.

 

[bootsy]

Horseshit doublespeak. Dana is becoming a politician.

What the hell is dana on about?
