Media Jon Anik: Khabib Only Returns if Someone Beats Islam

[neandertal]

Thats a kinda smart way to try and get Dana to promote Islam in the division to fight top contenders faster.

 

[ChangeIsComing]

Ok, well that wont be long then as Islam will lose to any top 5 LW imo.

TS and the two accounts directly below the post are the same account

When I first started lurking here, Khabib fans were good guys. Now some of them are every bit as bad as the worst Conor fans. They serve no usefull purpose on these boards.

Nobody is “ducking” Islam.

by this logic, they just need to dangle Adriano Martins out there for Khabib to come back since he Knocked Islam the fuck out already in the UFC.

Was just about to say, we may See Khabib vs Adriano lol.

But that (t)ko is such a bad stoppage, way too quick. Islam was dropped, but that's about it.

Islam has his hands full against Dober. @Ackmed and all the other fanboys should not be looking past him.

 

[JosephTessaro]

Your question started with asking "if dober beats Islam," but in the OP I said realistically no one is beating Khabib (so khabib won't be back)...that means Dober isn't beating Islam so the rest of the question is nullified

You don't know that Islam is going to win every single fight until he also retires. Dober could win. Just because you say "realistically no one is beating Khabib...that means Dober isn't beating Islam..." doesn't mean Dober is or isn't beating Islam. Khabib won't be in that cage. Dober is legit and he could very well beat Islam.

I doubt Khabib comes out of retirement to avenge a loss Dober could very well hand to Islam, just to fight a guy who doesn't have a belt or is close to it.

You have an opinion, and so do I. Simple. No one will know the answer until the fight happens.

Looks like Khabib isn't coming back, based on what Anik said, because realistically no one is beating Islam

Excerpt:

Jon Anik Says There Is Only One Way Khabib Fights Again
As much as fans are wanting to see Khabib Nurmagomedov not retire, Jon Anik is not confident in Dana White’s skills of persuasion. Speaking in a recent interview, the UFC commentator said that he does not think Khabib will fight again soon.

However Jon went a step further than that. He said that the only way Khabib would compete again, would be to avenge a future loss against his protege, Islam Makhachev.

hmmmm. diaz vz islam? id watch

Is that what we class as ktfo these days?

Christianity beat Islam- it was back during the Crusades,

True. The stats show it as a KO (knockout) I said he was KTFO, guess I shouldn’t have added the extras yet the point remains just the same.

 

[huhwhat]

wrong..
conor vs khabib in dagestan
khabib will not refuse that offer

 

[Steve Fox]

This is Khabib's way of getting Islam big fights

Once you bath with a man, you are linked to him forever.

Jon Anik is a retard though so even if he’s right you should still not believe him.

Side note: it is downright remarkable how meaningless the word “retirement” has become in the MMA world. No one, myself included, pays any mind to anyone who says they’re retiring. To the point where we exhaust thread after thread discussing who their next opponent should be.

 

[mjfan23]

Lol In that case Khabib ain’t coming back. His teammate doesn’t even have the balls to fight anyone. Is there a bigger duck in the game than him?

Were they really?

Getting behind one questionable guy because the other guy is "worse" isn't exactly being a good guy..

But yeah.. khabibs fans makes it hard to root for the guy.. can't deny the skill or the legacy but damn what a bunch of tools..

 

[Deleted member 567183]

Islam is the Successor of Khabib thats what i know

 

[Deleted member 567183]

Genius move by Khabib and GOAT Ali

They know Makachaev won’t lose anytime soon and it gives fighters some motivation to stop ducking Makachaev

Ali is levels above the game

Ali is a smart man and he knows how to do his Job very well

 

[Deleted member 567183]

Dober vs. Khabib will be the biggest fight in MMA history.

Jones vs. Izzy can co-main.

Jones/Izzy is not happening and Regarding Dober/Khabib this will be the biggest fight in the DREAMS of the people

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

Islam isnt half of what Khabib.

Stop that shit.
