DarkneT, my man I can see that you are reading the thread. Please write something glorious .
Shouldn't have pulled out and denied tony in NovemberWhat was he supposed to do? Decline the championship fight that the UFC offered him?
You are delusional. Tony pulled out. Holloway pulled out. Conor didn't take the fight.
So Khabib should've said fuck it, I'm not gonna fight anybody? I'm not gonna save the card?
Is that preferable for you?

People calling Khabib a paper champion are a joke.
He's 26-0 and tied with Tony Ferguson for the longest win streak in Lightweight history; He's also rarely if ever lost a round. The division needs somebody as champion at the moment and Khabib is the best option. Conor has been inactive for two years in MMA and Ferguson is out with an injury. Direct your criticisms elsewhere, noobs.
End of the year???
It’s April..
"Possible fight by the end of the year"....it's fuckin April. Khabib with a belt is gonna fight even less than Khabib without a belt.
Occasionally? Twice in over 25 fights is "occasionally"? You should tune in to reality, not fanboy bias filled with hate.. it's corny.He missed weight because he's a WW who can make LW occasionally, but knows the steroids aren't going to help him against guys his size.
Ramadan starts in like 1 month, there is really no time, to prepare and promote a fight, the next PPV is Brazil so it really doesn't make sense. Khabib could fight in september but then it would be hard to get another fight before the end of the year.One need not fault Habib to recognize that his title is weak.
I think one thing he could have done is try to get a title defense scheduled quickly. He didn't seem to take much damage vs Iaquinta and the division has been log-jammed for a while, so there's several decent fights he could take. Instead we have to play the waiting game. So much for Khabib saving the LW division. He'll be better than Conor because he'll fight rarely while Conor never defended at all. But outside of that comparison, Khabib is likely to be a very inactive champ.
3 fights in his entire career, is not often, nor anywhere near 50% of his UFC fights.. simmer down. Conor was given the Candy belt. The fanboy for Conor is very odd, and the hate toward Khabib is silly.I don't see how that is fair. He has pulled out of how many fights? Injuries... weight issues... declined fights due to religious purposes... Does he even have a 50% show record for fights he has committed to in the UFC?
Did they give belts around to others like candy when Khabib was too busy being unprofessional in his own ways?

Damn, twice? That's more than I thought. Dude needs to move up.Occasionally? Twice in over 25 fights is "occasionally"? You should tune in to reality, not fanboy bias filled with hate.. it's corny.

Great. We just went from a champion who won five belts and never defended once to a fighter who is one of the most notorious pull out merchants in history, celebrates Ramadan from half of the year AND trains at AKA! Fuck."Possible fight by the end of the year"....it's fuckin April. Khabib with a belt is gonna fight even less than Khabib without a belt.
A tough as hell fighter with the brains to have a career outside of mma? Is that what you meant?Yeah terrified against someone that can't finish a realtor.
No excuse for him not being active. I thought he wanted to be the anti-Conor.. Defend as much as possible. You can easily fight this summer. Easily. January or December. That’s ridiculous.
That's the earliest Khabib CHOOSES to fight, not 'can' fight. This isn't a medical or physical restriction, it is a conscious lifestyle choiceHes muslim and Ramadan is in June this year, so hed have to fight before June or start his camp after it, so two month after the end of june is end of August, beginning of September. Thats the earliest he can fight.

Yeah, I agree with this.I hate what Conor did to both 145 and 155... but, sorry, he is supposed to save Khabib's card? WTF for? He has no stake in it.
Yea, Conor's a bitch for making the UFC LW title into a prop to aide his reality tv lifestyle... but, the fact remains that he has shown up for every fight he has agreed to no matter the weight, no matter the circumstances.
That is much more professionalism than Khabib has shown in his career.
