Please make Khabib vs Tony already

Tony is overrated as fuck on here. He’s sloppy as hell and doesn’t really excel in any areas, apart from being a creep
 
Tony vs Khabib is a pick em fight to me.

Khabib looked impressive against Barboza, but Barzoba is one of the weakest grapplers in Lw Top10,
although his striking is great, he loses it when pressured ( like MJ fight or Cucuy, who finished Barboza btw).

Tony has creative striking, will threaten Khabib with 8 limbs and his elbows are deadly and will cut Khabib.
Khabib is no Lando to catch Tony clean, his striking improved, but still stiff and straightforward.

Also he has much better wrestling and BJJ than Barboza, will be able to defend takedowns better
and actually threat Khabib with subs and elbows on the ground.

And CARDIO - Cucuy went multiple times for 5 rounds HARD and won,
while Khabib hasn't and there is a chance Tony will tire him out.

For Khabib, of course, his strength and grappling and GNP are his advantages over Tony ( although Tony is bigger and stronget than Barboza or MJ).


So it's a 50-50 fight for me.

I don’t really understand the thought behind this post. Both men are at different points in their careers and obviously fighter A will beat fighter B if there is a significant enough difference in experience.

lmfao.
Show me another fighter that went on a 10-fight winstreak in the UFC's toughest division - oh wait, you can't.

You're a fool if you think Tony is overrated. If anything, he is underrated.

They did make this fight already, and Khabib couldn't show. It's all his fault.

I agree that Khabib would pound Cuckuy out, but the fight won't happen.

Khabib will fight Conor in Russia instead. Cuckuy's fake belt will be terminated for irrelevance.

Yeah... Okay. Pretty sure the UFC couldn't pay Conor enough for that sacrifice.

The RDA win is super impressive but Dos Anjos wasn’t looking spectacular around that point. He finds a way to win somehow, but his striking is sloppy and there’s no way he’s gonna outwork Khabib

Exactly, and he did that for 10 fights in a row, now. Despite being rocked, tagged, even dominated. He always ends up winning the fight.
I honestly said the exact same things as you did a few fights ago. Striking is sloppy, footwork is predictable, etc. But the dude just wins and can not be taken out of a fight.

I don't see him as a favorite against Khabib, but Tony can pull a Submission outta his magic wizard hat and choke you the fuck out, even after getting dominated for 4,5 rounds. Which is what makes the match-up so intriguing and so dangerous.

People tend to forget he has the best BJJ at Lightweight, by far. He's not just a striker.

Tony vs Conor is the only legit fight to make, you want your boy protected a little longer? Defend an interim belt give me a break.

Tbh Khabib have much better chances to beat Conor

Personally I’d favour kabib over tony but favour tony over Connor.

Ferguson has Diaz type durability, i honestly see him beating the snot out of Connor when he’s still standing in the later rounds.
Connor will get taken down by kabib but for the first 2 rounds he will be very dangerous and hard to get hold of

It will be a fckin joke if these guys are made to fight for an interim belt. They are the 2 best fighters at lw imo.
 
They probably will, most likely for UFC 222 in March. I don't see Conor fighting until one of them is knocked out of contention. Also, Khabib claims he wants to fight in March.

UFC 222
Holloway vs. Edgar (FW title)
Ferguson vs. Nurmagomedov (LW interim)

Both amazing, Just Bleed fights. Hopefully we get the winner vs. Conor in July.

So everybody can see how easily Khabib beats him

Tony is very lucky to be holding the belt,
If the interim title fight would have been against Khabib, he would have never held it in his life.

There is a difference between a A-level fighter and a A+ level fighter

Don't forget that Lando almost beat the hell out of Tony and that he was losing to Barboza until he caught him in a submission fair and square.
Don't also forget the fact that Kevin Lee was able to take him down and full mount him. Khabib is on another level when it comes to grappling/takedowns.

Let the hate begin virgins

while I could even contemplate what you are saying, it was Khabib who dropped from that fight.
He got no one to blame but himself

Tony has earned his title shot and he should get Conor next.
 
Why would Tony even take that fight if it isn't for the proper title? They'd probably have to pay him a shitload to do it.

Ten fights in a row against much lesser opposition. Khabib is on another level to be fair. He rushes in which is his only downfall, but he won’t have to do that, he can afford to be patient against Ferguson because Tony lacks that debilitating power of say a Barbosa.

I’m still a bit bias against Tony for his tuf antics.. it’s hard to forget how much of a scumbag he is even though as fans were supposed to judge on octagon performances, but even if I do take an objective standpoint I still don’t see him beating Khabib, who I thinks gonna take the 155 belt then move up and take the 170 strap too

Casuals will not care. They'll pay regardless. To see Khabib or Conor. Not Cuckuy.
So business-wise , it won't be retarded for them. They'll do it

They wouldn't do that in a million years.
