Poirier: “These guys should just release me.”

[Evangelion]

Tbf to the guy he’s in probably the most stacked division and they’ve turned it into a shit show. They should just have a 4 man tournament with Dustin al Tony Conner winner gets khabib. Everyone knows wer they r then

They turned it to a shit show? Did the UFC tear Ferguson knee? Did they cause a brawl? Does the Ufc force Khabib to sit out 6 months every year for religious nonsense? Did they try to force Khabib to fight Mayweather in a fight no one else wants? Did they pull Poirier out of his highest profile fight in November?

Ferguson, Khabib, Conor and Poirier have caused their own troubles.

I don't know why UFC hasn't already pulled the trigger on an interim yet. Tony/Dustin or Tony/Connor or whatever, something.

It matches their style of doing things and it gets these guys in there for good fights instead of just sitting around.

If Khabib is stripped that would make sense for them but going thru & winning 2 more wars while Khabib sits on the sideline healthy as a champ would be a suckers bet.

I get it. I think if any of us were in his situation we'd be anxious af right now. Imagine being so close to the cusp of your profession and this stuff keeps happening and you end up losing your prime years of earning potential.

Blame Dana.

At this point Dana could offer Tony a fight for the interim title (if Khabib won't fight until November) and get things moving. Let him fight Poirier and be done with it.

Both are in the top 5 with solid winning streaks.

Why would Tony want to fight for ANOTHER Interim Title after he got his last one stripped from him? And if Khabib really wants to eye a fight with GSP at another weight class he should just vacate the title, and TRULY get things moving.

Tony should fight for the real Championship if Khabib doesn't want to defend, he's not only going to sit out his full suspension, but not defend the belt for his next fight? Nah man.

I don't blame him at all. The UFC has become such a joke its hard to take it seriously anymore.

 

[Mahkor]

lol every week there's a new fighter asking for his release.

Dude, enough with the interim titles.

Ferguson already had the interim title while Conor was out for a year and a half.

He got injured and stripped. Then quickly recovered and fought Anthony Pettis even if he should have been fighting for the belt. Enough already. He deserves to fight for the title and nothing else.

Ferguson either fights for the belt next or gets a red panty night with Conor.

Conor already set a precedent for holding a title while healthy and not defending. Dana went along with it no problem so Conor could do his boxing thing outside of MMA.

You think Khabib is going to give up the title now that Dana has shown to let a LW champ hold onto it for 18 months before being stripped?

Ferguson, Khabib, Conor and Poirier have caused their own troubles.

UFC have caused it for not being a responsible promoter and strip guys when they sit on a title forever. and it mostly started with Conor, when he stalled the top for almost two years while contenders were racking up wins. btw, what the hell has poirier done to cause his troubles? he's been fighting and winning, pulled out of a fight for the first time against Diaz, where a win probably wouldn't brought him further up the ladder anyways.

Didn't get it. Like for effort.

While contenders were racking up wins? Khabib won 2 fights in the time Conor sat out and held the belt, Michael Johnson and Edson Barboza.

Khabib is now out for a year because of his own choices. So he should be stripped as well right?

Conor set the precedent, but let's not pretend that people weren't calling it out, and in the end of the day it ain't up to Khabib, if Dana wants to strip a Champion for not fighting, he's well within his rights.

Either fight the rightful contender, or get stripped. He's not going give up the title, It's GOING to be taken. If you really think Khabib should fight GSP over Tony Ferguson with no consequence to him being Champion, I don't know what to tell you.

I guess we'll see how it works out for Khabib.

Must be hanging around with Rockhold and TJ

Why do these bitches sign contracts for more than 3 fights at a time? These dummies need to smarten up. Fight out your contract!

Poirier might as well retire. He's not getting a title shot for years with the current LW situation. Maybe go fight in Bellator and give Chandler a run for his money
