If khabib returns, do you feel the winner of Dustin Vs Conor should get a rematch?

[Zebra Cheeks]

I’m purely going off of my gut, and instinct regarding khabib. I don’t think GSP vs khabib ever happens. I do, however, believe there’s a chance he comes back after his latest Instagram post:


My question to you is, do you feel the winner of Dustin Vs Conor 2 would be entitled to a rematch if khabib returns?

 

[Marko Polo]

Most certainly. Between those two and Gaethje but Justin only just fought Khabib and had nothing for him. I suppose if Tony looks really good against Aloe Vera he deserves a mention too

 

[Jose Beehive]

What would be the point, go for the belt, which he shouldn't still have by the time a fight like that could get booked... Only Tony has any good reason to fight him imo.

 

[TheMessiah]

Would be too easy again. He needs a new challenge

 

[Frank McEdgar]

Khabib dominated both already.

I wanna see the Tony fight more than anything. Charles and Tony are both more dangerous stylistically for Khabib than Conor and Dustin.

 

[accolyte1022]

No, he defeated bother rather easily.

 

[warriorfan808]

I would rather see the winner of Du Bronx and Ferguson.

 

[chick magnet punk]

Nah give him GSP or Nate Diaz.

 

[warriorfan808]

I think we all know he's coming back to fight GSP

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Honestly I'd like the winner of Ferguson/Oliveira to fight him

 

[The XL]

The winner of Ferguson vs Olivera should get it. Neither guy has faced Khabib before and both are way more interesting matchups for Khabib than either Conor or Dustin, both of whom simply do not possess any real threat off of their back or in scrambles.

 

[Fahcough]

can Maia make 155

 

[Jose Beehive]

If Du Bronx beats Tony then I don't see Khabib coming back for that fight, no one would care about it.. No disrespect to Du Bronx cos if he wins he deserves a title shot against who ever the fuck that might be against, but to go from maybe a GSP fight to a Du Bronx fight would surely be a bit anticlimactic from a build up/legacy pov no?

EDIT: Obviously the stylistic matchup is interesting, and who knows how much esteem he might build from the Tony fight, but I just don't see that one last fight being Charles Oliveira.

I can’t say I disagree. I’m curious how it’s approached from the ufc perspective. If Oliveria wins and Conor wins, do they push Conor vs khabib 2 because oliveria doesn’t have massive draw power like tony? If tony wins do they just go ahead and book tony vs khabib regardless of who wins Conor vs Dustin? It’ll be interesting to see how they handle it.

I think as far as most hardcore fans like you or I are concerned, tony or Charles is the no brainer. But if I’m running a business and trying to make money, I know damn well khabib vs Conor was the greatest ppv seller in the history of combat sports. Even if you do half that for the second one, which it won’t, you’re still making a fuck ton of money.

I’m curious to see how this plays out

Right. If Dustin and Charles win I don’t expect khabib to defend the 155 belt

 

[JustAkidFrom209]

Just not Dustin pls. We all know how that shit would go at least Conor will bring hype but the best choice for legacy reasons is Tony if he beats Du Bronx

 

[MisterWillis]

I think a lot of people still want to see the Tony Ferguson fight over either of those 2 rematches. MMA maths doesn’t mean shit and I think Khabib would struggle much more with TF than he did against JG.

 

[MCS]

No. Tony/Oliveira winner. Better match-ups, and the Tony fight is too important to miss out.

 

[Apollo33]

I fricken hate rematches especially when it's not even close.

I'd rather see Khabib fight Usman or Covington

 

[eighterumg5]

Anyone but "do bronx" and his stupid ass nick name. Plus doesn't he hold the record for most failed weight cuts?
