Khabib Nurmagomedov looking at Dustin Poirier, Eddie Alvarez winner for title shot

[Shaddows]

...if not GSP or Conor McGregor.

He did not forget Tony.

“He just had surgery. If he can, why not? Tony Ferguson is biggest match-up for me. This match what I want, what people want, what fans want but I don’t know about his healthy. If he’s ready, let’s go. Why not? I’m ready for September, I’m ready for October, I’m training all the time. I’m here to defend my title. If the UFC gives me any opponent, I’m ready for this, to beat this guy.”

I like it!
I think those are solid picks by the champ.

Thoughts?

 

[Harmonica]

GSP would rip him a new one.

 

[Bogeyman]

Ducking Iaquinta rematch.

 

[Delicate Gee]

He will fight Conor

 

[Gabe]

But but Conor

 

[Gambit MMA]

hope its tony still

if not him than eddie/poirer!

 

[DarkneT]

Ducking Conor

Is normal

 

[BRASIL WAND]

So the winner of the Rockem Sockem robot fight is the next challenger if Connie doesn’t step up?

Man, what has the LW division come to? Two sloppy brawlers, with non existent striking defense, and suspect chins are next in line for a TS?

Man, I actually kinda miss Connie

I wonder how long Tony will be

As cursed as it is that's the fight that needs to happen. Or Conor if they can get him to take it

The only way to settle who the true LW champ is, is to have all 3 of the champs fight each other

If Khabib is legit about fighting this year you gotta like his attitude.

 

[Jon's Drug Dealer]

Already ducking Kevin Lee hard.

 

[ArtemV]

Yeah, this is a good first title defense. It gives him a warm-up for Ferguson too.

I wonder where Kevin Lee is in this. Kevin Lee vs Gaethje/Vick winner for the title shot? I don't want to see Lee vs Ferguson right now, and Lee doesn't deserve a title shot with just a win against Barboza.

 

[Silverstar17]

In other words the UFC could not make the fight with Conor.

Also October is a good timeframe. Hope it happens. Vs whoever. Doubt Ferg is ready though.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Already ducking Kevin Lee hard.

Lee needs to make weight and get more than a 1 fight win streak

 

[Taric]

In other words the UFC could not make the fight with Conor.

Conor is retired at this point. Him coming back is a pipe dream.

 

[Raise Your Fist]

Already ducking Kevin Lee hard.

Can Kevin even make 155 anymore? I like Kevin but I dunno if 155 is for him from now on.

 

[Fight Professor]

It does not matter who Khabib chooses. There is no way he will show up.

 

[Rear Nakey]

Can’t blame him for being afraid of Conor.

 

[Workaholic]

Already ducking Kevin Lee hard.

Can't make weight. Just lost to Tony. Gets dropped every fight

And people still think everyone is scared of Kevin Lee for some reason

 

[Spycho]

Khabib handles both Poirier and Alvarez easily. Those fights don' t interest me one bit. Ferguson or Conor would.
