Does Khabib VS Ferg potentially being called off have anything to do with Khabib’s weight cutting?

[PrideisRizin]

I have seen a lot of things posted about how Khabib could leave Russia if he wanted also I know his trainer Mendez mentioned a couple weeks ago that Khabib would NOT be traveling while cutting weight. It’s a well know fact that Khabib cuts a humongous amount of weight and has had issues due to this before and has only gotten older. Thoughts?

No. It isn't tiramisu related. It has to do with half the world shutting down because of pestilence.

 

[Kumason]

Yeah, i'm pretty sure that's it too.



Edit: Aaand you liked my post lol. I was clearly being facetious. Well, clear to everyone else i'm sure.

You do realize he's come in under 155 or at 155, since the fight vs MJ right? The weight cut issues are played out and old, time moves on, as do people and their careers.

You uh, watched the news anytime recently?

It's because of Corona, where the hell have you been?

Khabib didn’t get on the plane. Probably saw the plane to the US rolling up and was like...

“we’ll say we didn’t know”

What is wrong with people on here??
Ok, TS. When Sherdog is down overnight, before you play your video games, turn on the news then come back to this thread and apologize.

You do realize you completely incorrect?

The bout with Ferguson was scheduled for a third time at UFC 209 on 4 March 2017 for the interim Lightweight Championship. Nurmagomedov, however, fell ill because of a botched weight cut, and the bout was cancelled as a result.

I swear, I’m baffled every time I see a thread started about some conspiracy as to why 249 isn’t happening. I’m shocked by the absolute ignorance.

How about talk about your boy like that.... Does he know what the Fck is going on in the world ? And all you clowns want to believe ignorance? Khabib and his camp knew what was going on.... the fights on.... the fights on.... Now all of the sudden he is talking about what’s going on and concerned with the world? GTFO He is Duck This guy is getting as bad as Mayweather with picking his dates, opponents and the fckn location??? U people are clueless. I believe he was trying to leverage the fight to come to Russia.

How wrong you are.. but continue with that. Botched weight cut would mean one failed to make that weight.. Khabib never got on the scale because of illness. Assumption would be to assume it's because of the cut.. but adult's base reality off the facts known, not the assumptions of a biased and not knowing for certain mindset.

You must be forgetting he never failed the weight cut.. please show me a picture where he took to the scales. Yup, I will wait..

lol, dude he coldnt fight due to the weight cut. All the hospital did was give him IV's to rehydrate.

The bottom line is there are fighters with families that are willing to fight right now. He is not. Those are the facts. Don’t be hurt by it. People want to know why. The guy fights in a cage for money but yet he is making this decision out of safety and intelligence??

 

[Tyler Durden]

And the fight was never “on”. Dana was talking out of his ass and half of Sherdog believed him as if we weren’t in the middle of a global pandemic that none of us has ever seen in our lifetime.

You ever think Khabib is the smart one here and realizes if he's anywhere but Russia he's going to spend months upon months away from his friends and family? Let's be real the UFC will pull strings to get the fighters to where they need to be but when it comes time to go home there's a high probability the fighters for 249 will be stuck in whatever country hosts that event until all the travel restrictions are lifted, the Coronavirus is not going away anytime soon.
