So khabib conor is official?

Khabib should be stripped for this "ramadan" ducking bullshit.

Why on earth would they do Conor Khabib before Conor Tony if the latter fight was for a title? Tony's the easier stylistic match up for Conor who is still the UFC's biggest cash cow who they'd love back with a title and who would begrudge Tony the massive payday? You could argue the man's already earned such a payday, if he beats Khabib let him call his shot. Him and Conor atop a solid card would end up there somewhere in the top 5 biggest PPVs ever I'd imagine.

Dana just said they are aiming for the title, but I wondered if they possibly tapped the Khabib match, even in a loss, as it does bigger money and is bad blood. Conor does big numbers vs the Schmo now, but Khabib Co or outsells anything that is not Mayweather. If Conor beat Khabib, his brand is restored to peak operating level and then I can see the May match happening, which is what Dana is talking about in the presser as in the works. It is just too much money, regardless of what we think
