I'll believe it when khabib or momma says it.

It'll be dope though

“He hasn’t committed, but I feel like he’s gonna. I’m not really pushing him. We talked about it and he just fought. Let him take some time, spend some time with his family, spend the holidays.

LMAO..Dana being Dana

 

[FrankDux]

It's a great point...if Khabib is promise-his-mother dead serious about not fighting ever again...then why the hell is he still agreeing to USADA tests???

 

[PulsingJones]

Fight whom? He beat everybody except Tony, who's in Limbo right now.
GSP won't come to 155
Dana is full of shit

 

[surgeyou1]

Apparently promises to mommy don't go as far as they used to

Dana: "If he’s still testing, why the hell would you want to test if you’re not gonna fight?"

Just because there's a possibility doesn't mean it's likely. He could be doing it for polictical reasons. So for example the UFC will look to find islam fights so he dangles the carrot. Or he could entertain it but wants to see what his mom says in six months and might still decide to stay retired. We don't know.

I wouldn't take the indication of him being in the test pool to mean anything. If he was still in there and a year goes by than yeah I would raise suspicion

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

I expect him to say this so Khabib stays calm

then the day before the Conor vs Dustin fight announce it is for the title...

... and that is how Khabib will find out he is stripped.

And how the rematch will be bought about.

 

[FrankDux]

If you are serious about being retired then you have absolutely no reason to agree to USADA tests.

If you aren't 100% committed to retirement then you still get tested.

It's that simple.

 

[asdf122345]

ahah. @NorrisB khabib bless.

 

[Rajon Rondo]

winner of Poirier-Conor gets Ferguson-Chandler or something?

That's what I think it's likely too. That or make this a match and the winner of Tony-chandler gets the winner of conor-dustin for the official belt.

 

[Goatbib]

Khabib runs UFC. Conor was made to go back in line and humiliatingly stripped and here Dana doesnt want to touch Khabib's belt even after he retires.

Khabib bless.

he’s perhaps sowing a bit of doubt to ensure McGregor doesn’t get the title shot? Only explanation I can think of. I would love for him to come back though

 

[beephin]

Khabib vs. Tibau 2

 

[snackgod]

i bet this is why conor nor signed cause he want to be gifted the title shot. wouldnt shock me if the talk about 170 pounds staerts again.

I doubt he will fight unless its GSP, & that would have to be at 170 or maybe 165 catchweight. I suppose they would still want him going into the fight as a champion. They can figure out who will fight for the vacant belt after Khabib/GSP.

I cant see Khabib coming back for a rematch against Conor/Poirier winner.
