Your whole argument rides on bellator putting on a show with Khabib. I am telling you that would never happen. If bellator did that they would get sued by the ufc, and any money they made off of that fight would go to legal fees.First of all, Bellator would definitely, without a doubt, make a card with Khabib headlining in Europe. Khabib is 27-0, coming off of a fresh, dominant destruction of the UFC poster boy, and is riding the wave of an overnight, worldwide fame thanks to the post-fight brawl. Now that all eyes are on Khabib, Bellator would gain tons of credibility by having him fight in their ring. The UFC LW division would be looked as having the 2nd best fighter to Bellator.
Second of all, it is a myth that only the best fighters are in the UFC. Strikeforce proved this a long time ago that the best talents existed outside of the UFC, too, and Scott Coker knows how to find and develop them.
e.g. Cormier, prime Bigfoot Silva, Rousey, Mousasi, Rockhold, Jacare, Woodley, Josh Thompson, Cung Le, etc. were all Strikeforce fighters.
And yes Khabib could fight in Russia if he wanted, but agains who? Most of the top talent is signed by bellator and the ufc.
I don’t even know why so many of you think he can break the contract. There have been many other fighters that have tried, and none succeeded, and Khabib would be no different.
