I don't understand the backlash... a year and a half since last fight... who cares. Injuries part of the game.
And if he is targeting December, and that McGregor v Aldo and Rousey v Tate card is happening in Cowboy stadium, Khabib would be a cool 4th or 5th fight in the card in a title eliminator bout. Face the winner of RDA v Cerrone.
