If Ferguson doesn´t come back soon, should Khabib fight Kevin Lee for the LW belt?

[Kung Fu bb]

If Ferguson doesn´t come back soon, should Khabib fight Kevin Lee for the LW belt? If not Kevin Lee, then who should get the next TS against the eagle?

Thoughts?

 

[PureLite]

Obviously.

He's a better opponent for Khabib than Eddie or Dustin.

Hell you could argue that he's a better matchup for Khabib than Ferguson is for Khabib.

 

[Dave Poodle]

The winner of Poirier vs Alvarez would have a better claim to a title shot than Lee in my opinion.

 

[Iroh]

Dana said Conor would be next for Khabib, but I guess that depends on Conor's court ruling though.

 

[Jon's Drug Dealer]

There's no way Tony's ready for fight camp this year. The winner of Poirier/Alvarez gets Khabib, unless they end up with lengthy medical suspensions, in which case, Lee gets the fight. Lee steamrolls Khabib.

Let's not even pretend Conor's ever fighting Khabib, let alone this year. He'll have his rubber match with Diaz in a few years when his relevance is at an all-time low, then retire.

 

[VVarhead]

Winner of Poirier Alvarez should get it.

 

[youllneverwalkalone]

If not Conor I agree the winner of Poirier Alvarez is next in line.

It'd be one of those scenarios where one guy is more deserving, but the other presents a far more interesting challenge.

Tough to say since Khabib won't fight till Nov/Dec. Lee would have to take another fight if he doesn't get it next, while the winner of Alvarez/Poirier is more deserving. It's better for the div if Lee gets the shot. Khabib should fight more often.

 

[thobra]

Eddie/Dustiin winner. I think Eddie might cause some problems for Khabib.

this.

Kevin Lee would be the first guy who does not have a physical disadvantage against Khabib, maybe even a physical advantage. And he's an great attacking wrestler. If he can take Khabib down he can finish him.

Dustin is great but you just know that Khabib is gonna take him down and lay on him. Alvarez could be better with his TDD but also not good enough I think.

 

[leatherneck]

Eddie/Dustiin winner. I think Eddie might cause some problems for Khabib.

eddie might cause some problems for Khabib.

but Lee would beat Khabib.

 

[thobra]

eddie might cause some problems for Khabib.

but Lee would beat Khabib.

I don't disagree. Lee could probably be an even tougher fight, but I like to follow the right order, and next in line is Eddie/Dustin imo.

 

[Death By Samson]

Lee is coming off of a win from a weight miss. That should not earn him a title shot. The Alvarez vs Poirier winner should be next if Ferg is not healthy.

This, and they are ranked above him too.

Also, business-wise would be very smart to wait with Khabib-Lee fight until Khabib is more stablished as a champion. I also think Lee is gonna be the toughest fight for Khabib, though I think Khabib takes it tbh.

 

[Omega Man]

Lee is Kahbib's toughest test. No way Eddie or Dustin beats Kahbib.

 

[Erratic]

If Ferguson doesn´t come back soon, should Khabib fight Kevin Lee for the LW belt? If not Kevin Lee, then who should get the next TS against the eagle?

Thoughts?

Conor obviously, the champ right before Khabib that didn't lose.

 

[Bogeyman]

Iaquinta should get an immediate rematch.

 

[AlwaysWonder]

Winner of Poirier Alvarez should get it.

Either one of those two beats overrated Khabib.
