If Conor returns and beats Khabib...

[Fire Belly]

Would you consider that defending his belt?

I hate to argue semantics here, but it's been a dig on Conor for a long time now that he doesn't defend belts. If he returns and fights Khabib next and wins, should Bruce Buffer say 'and still' or 'and new'?

 

[NumbBigToe]

He won't.

 

[Karasu-Hanta]

I like me some Kebab but that would be hilarious the salt would be immeasurable.

 

[locust rising]

He’ll say “the new”

 

[Sparkzz05]

Khabib would destroy Conor and make him run to boxing, after khabib annihilates him he'll probably go take the paulie fight

 

[Chagaev]

I wouldn't even care about the belt.

I'd give Conor mad props if he takes that fight.

>defending a belt that he's been stripped of already
The mental gymnastics on this site are a sight to behold.

Sherdog server would melt either way.

Even mini Mendes took him down at will before gassing.

The haters will keep changing the goal posts like they they always do.

or that Conor will fabricate an excuse before the fight (e.g.small injury) so that when he gets raped, his brand won't take much damage

 

[Clear Winner]

It wouldn't be a title defence, but I'd give him credit for it. If he loses, it'd be interesting to see if he'd ask for an immediate rematch like he did with Nate.

McGregor is streets head of kahbib. He will knock the fuck out of the over rated Russian.
Then hopefully leave the UFC and get the fuck out of America, spending to much time their is worse for your brain then a crack addiction.

Are you serious? He asked a question with an obvious answer. How the hell could it be a title defense if he isn't the champion? That isn't moving goal posts that's being honest and not a moron.

 

[Peoples]

Even mini Mendes took him down at will before gassing.

so it was his will to fail at almost half of his TD attempts (43%) ?

Your sentence structure leads me to believe you still haven't left yet...

 

[Mangar]

Who would Conor fight a nobody? He will fight Mayweather or not at all.

Getting Conor back isn't the challenge it's getting him back and keeping him active.

 

[Large Hound 77]

If Conor steps in the octagon again I will be amazed... assuming he isn't locked up and/or banned from the US
