Dana lied
Khabib crashed an interview the Schmo was doing with Matt Serra and said he just DMed GSP. He asked him when he's coming back (starts around 4:20).
Typical Dana.
More like Dana being a little bitch.Dana plays the game.
Conor will draw big number regardless so Dana doesnt need the Khabib/Conor fight. On the other hand, GSP/Kahabib would probably break all the records.The road to GSP is known....Dana Will Give Khabib GSP....after he fights Connor. Dana plays the game.
GSP wants to fight Khabib or Conor only. That's the reason he isn't fighting and everyone knew Khabib and GSP both wanted this fight. GSP retired when the fight was off the table and Khabib retired as well for personal reasons but was also upset he couldn't get the fight his dad wanted. If the GSP fight is the only way to get Khabib back from retirement UFC will make it happen but he'll have to fight with Conor if he wins or a contender that's up for the title shot. That's why they are saying Khabib has to see something from the fights to make him want to come back. Also Dana already brought up the GSP fight, and if that was the only option that means he's got some work to do. So he's aware that Khabib wants that fight.I don't get why people have to defend their golden calf GSP all the time. He doesn't want to fight anymore! but can't fully articulate that because he doesn't want to disappoint. If he wanted the smoke it would have happened already.
