If raging al wins, it will be the saltiest belt handing over in human history
Once ever you could say

UFC twitter says this...

 

[Kintaro]

Does it matter? He won't win anyways.

 

[xFeeLPaiN]

UFC twitter says this...

guess its 100% confirmed then, im happy for Al

 

[VVarhead]

Fuck yes!

Hopefully this is true.

We all know this is PR STUNT. Dana paid him to lose already. Khabib will be champ

Due to Iaquinta not making the 155-pound championship limit, the UFC lightweight title will only be eligible to be won by Nurmagomedov. Should Iaquinta win, he will not be awarded the title, but if Nurmagomedov wins, he will be crowned the undisputed champion.

UFC doesn't want to lose to many PPV buys.

They will clarify it all after everybody buys and tunes in.

 

[GoldenAzazel]

Is there some rule that says they can't just award him the vacant belt if he beats Khabib?

 

[DLX]

He's just Roganing. Probably a miscalculation.

 

[TheIrishPsycho]

Those .2lbs vanished

 

[Yari]

He can get the real title in the instant rematch if he for some reason manages to win.

 

[Mo8_98]

this is such a joke.

UFC can stop pretending it's some sort of a sports league. it's not. it's a glorified circus show.

 

[SeattleFightFan]

interesting.

 

[VVarhead]

Is there some rule that says they can't just award him the vacant belt if he beats Khabib?

That's probably the plan.

 

[tjnickels]

Just said under his name he's not eligible for it.

 

[linvillegorge]

They had to do something to keep Khabib on this card. The card is already a complete trainwreck. They would be about to the point where they'd be forced to cancel the damn event if they lost yet another fight and I doubt Khabib would've accepted any fight that wasn't for the title.

 

[Bologna1]

Yeah I was wondering when they announced him at 155 even.

 

[Unfinished Sentenc]

There's a rumor going around that Khabib made weight shitting himself in the bus is this true?
