Khabib got gifted the LW belt

[Drain Bamage]

Since when does beating Al Iaquinta, who is a real estate agent and fights on the side, make someone UFC champ?

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Since the Champ-Champ boxed instead of defending a belt...

 

[DS66]

What a new and exciting observation you have made.

 

[3nigma]

Since the Interim LW champ, LW champ, FW champ, and two former LW champs could not step this weekend.

Khabib showed up and everyone else didn't.

 

[Pitier of Fools]

The UFC has four divisions of paper belts now. FW, LW, WW, and MW.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

McGs fans tears flowing like the mighty Mississippi.

That's not Kabob's problem. He said if he can't beat anyone of those guys then he has no business being champion. He was willing to fight any of the 4 challengers put in front of him. I am not even a fan but he conducts himself very well.

I see where you're coming from here, but Max at FW is pretty well established imo. Same with Woodley at WW.

Khabib's belt is far from undisputed currently, but if he can beat Tony and a few contenders, things will settle down nicely.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Khabib is the man!

 

[Histalian]

Dang I never thought of that.

Is Conor still practicing for his upcoming role in the remake of Howard the Duck?

CONOR got gifted the LW belt.......

 

[delbosque]

It's the only way to un-fuck this situation that Conor created in a timely manner. I'm all for it. Put the real belt on the best guy who is actively fighting, then make him defend it. The rest will work itself out in time. The real injustice is all of these deserving LW contenders having to wait this long to even imagine how they find their way into a title fight.

 

[MilesAbove]

If only there was a former champ who was around to defend his belt..... if only that was a thing that could happen..... if only.

Welcome to the WME era. It trash. At least there's Bellator.

 

[accolyte1022]

No shit. He didn't even have to beat Siver.

 

[Grapplefest]

Khabib agreed to face all comers, it's not his fault that they all got injured, he agreed to face 5 guys in the span of a week.

 

[faustian]

Plus Kabeeb literally had zero wins at LW before being giftwrapped the title shot vs an easy matchup

Oh wait

 

[Erocthadon]

Fuck Conor. That's how Khabib is the champ.
