Dana pretty much confirms Conor-Khabib rematch

[OzoneX]

Sucks for Tony.

“It’s a very interesting division because you have Khabib, you have Tony Ferguson, Conor McGregor, Donald Cerrone’s in the mix, Justin Gaethje - there’s just so many unbelievable fights in that weight class and Khabib keeps talking about fighting Georges St. Pierre again,” White said. “St-Pierre retired but when St-Pierre retired, he retired basically saying I won’t if I can fight Khabib. So there’s so many different, crazy, interesting things that we can do at that weight class.”

“Conor would be a massive fight and it’s absolutely possible, yes,” White said. “I think McGregor is gonna come back at the beginning of next year. So, realistically, all these guys are looking at September to see what happens with Khabib and Poirier. After that fight plays out, I think there’s gonna be a lot of movement going on.”

“To Conor’s credit and defense, you don’t see Conor running around filming movies,” White said. “If you look at his - he’s in great shape, he’s staying in shape, he’s training, and he’s seeing how this thing plays out.”

“Any time there’s too much money involved, bet on it happening.”

Dollars make sense ..... I don’t like it .... but it’s life lol

 

[Dream Evil]

Not surprising. They've gotta milk that cow before the teat runs completely dry.

Dana is really hoping that Dustin pulls off the win in Abu Dhabi. I feel like to he would gift McGregor the title shot in December for sure.

 

[Jean-MMA]

Can someone explain to me why Conor is not fighting this year ?

 

[Mahkor]

They will probably offer him another interim title vs the loser of Khabib v Dustin.

Dana been scrolling through McGregor's IG..

He hurt his thumb.

Not surprising. Nobody even comes close to his draw power in the past or especially now. Jon Jones is a 450-700k PPV draw. GSP 800-1 million PPVer.

Basically ignore every match up and try and get Conor to fight again.

 

[robertcop2]

Anyone can come back. Doesn't mean he has a chance in hell against the current fighters. He'd be coming back to lose.

So I say, please, by all means, come back!!!! Conor getting fucking destroyed and emasculated makes me very happy.

Will he come back? Yes. His shitty whisky will go under, and he will need the money.

 

[ZxxRnn]

so what is he gonna do after conor loses to khabib again? his stock totally falls off after that

What's hypocritical is that the rationale that Dana is using against Nurmagomedov could've been applied to McGregor when he was holding both the Featherweight and Lightweight titles hostage.

Being a twitter warrior has its risks:

 

[WhosTheBoss]

Can someone explain to me why Conor is not fighting this year ?

Because he is terrified of fighting any of the top 10 at his weight and is waiting for a gifted title shot against someone not named khabib

 

[SandaKicker]

Conor did surprisingly well against Khabib’s grappling in the first fight.

Nevertheless I think it goes worse for him this time if he doesn’t do a tune up fight.

"Cerrone's in the mix".

Why on Earth would Cerrone be in the mix?

 

[tonni]

Dollars make scents

<{chips}>

 

[Marco_mma]

Mcgregor looked clueless against kabib, too bad matchup for him..

 

[WhiteMousse]

At what point to you give the GOAT a shot at the belt? Jesus fucking christ
