If Tony wins this Saturday...

I think Tony finishes and retires Gaethje. With his 3rd loss, Justin will know he is never getting near that title and call it a day.

You make 0 sense
His interim belt is more legit then beebs ragin al belt anyday

I don't make 0 sense, i make little sense.. You make 0 sense.
Interim belt is not in Tony's hands, hence why he's factually fighting for it this weekend.

Beeb actually has the belt whether you like it or not.

I’m meant as an actual timeline he would have been in Poriers place. Tony wouldve beaten max and would have fought Khabib already (all butterfly affects excluded).

I’d be bummed a little. If Justin wins, he’s the rightful contender but tony/Khabib is a must see fight. Two of the best for years. To not get that fight would be a tragedy. UFC matchmaking makes no ethical sense anymore. All you can do is enjoy and hope what you want to see meets Dana’s financial agenda.

Yeah, can't disagree with any of that. The story's not over, we just have to sit back and see what happens.
