There's a high chance of Khabib winning next weekend (if he makes weight) but his record speaks for itself he's fought 2 times in the past 4 years, can we expect him to get that title shot in 2019 after his win?
 
They'll probably try to set up Tony/Khabib in the summer..

Will it actually happen this time? remains to be seen..
 
I think 6 months, winner of Ferguson and Conor will be his next opponent if he wins and the unification fight is aimed for March so who knows. What we do know though is that he's handling his weight well so the effects of the weight cut won't be too crippling to a point where he has to wait a lengthy time to recover.
 
U know i just realized something... how does a dude that takes time off for ramadan miss weight? Thats so fucked up
 
If he mollywhops Edson (I happen to think we're going to get a helluva dust up) then UFC will push the Ferguson fight asap just in case Conor is ready to go so I'm saying boogeyman will fight one of the 2 as early as March
 
He usually has 4-5 month lay offs between fights when he's active. So late April would be my best guess. Maybe late March to early April if he gets out unscathed and has no health complications.
 
He should be ready to go again right about Ramabamadan time. So never.
 
Mac & Tony are targeted for March /April... so it would likely be International fight week for him to get the winner. If that doesn't work out with Ramadan then the next event after that.

That said, he does have that history of injuries. I'd like to think it's all behind us... but who knows.
 
He said that the UFC told him he will face Tony in March/April if he wins against Barboza but with McGregor variable it's hard to be affirmative, if they decide to make Conor vs Tony, Khabib will probably wait and face the winner and with Ramadan starting in the middle of May, I think he will either fight again around March/April or in the end of the summer (September/October, maybe even November if they do a NY card).
 
Bizarre how a guy this young and with this level of talent fights so rarely. He is literally pissing away his prime fighting years.
 
everything has to fit his timetable correctly for it to work out.
 
what he usually does is gets everyone excited for a fight then cancels it
