I didnt realize when i typed that its for the interim belt,but honestly,Aldo got starched by Conor in 13 seconds. What does Khabib beating him really do for him right now. Hes not gonna beat aldo in seconds,so he allready looks like less strong of a challenger than if he fought Ferguson who is on fire right now with his win over RDA,and a true 155er.
ah i dont belive that shit. The only reason they aint done a rematch is cos he dont wanna cut the weight anymore imo.
I believe its fair he fight ferguson,they both have equal claim to the title but im not gonna cry no tears if khabib leapfrogs him.
Under no circumstances is FW the toughest division. Aldo and Ferguson are probably about equal when you consider the size difference.really.. some kid who has never been champ in his life and has been fighting mediocre competition is more dangerous than the p4p #1 unbeaten 10 year nearly longest win streak and title defense in the toughest deepest division.
I think khabib wants the ferguson fight as you know it'll give him the title shot, you know they'll spin the Aldo is a FW if khabib wins.
I dont blame him for moving on,but if if say aldo had beaten khabib,there is no reason to duck that fight. That fight is money.
Mark Hominick disagrees. Khabib would absolutely rag doll him into a living death. People still don't get that Khabib is on a whole new level than anything we have seen before, much like Conor's striking is on another level. I mean, afterall, we never saw Aldo get KO'd, did we? Who has done that to RDA? Who has done that to MJ? The Tibau fight was an MMA lifetime ago, before he was ragdolling Luke Rockhold at AKA.
exactly. Aldo is the FW who lost to Conor in 13 seconds. Even if Khabib stops aldo in the first,he didnt do it as cool as Conor,and its a higher weight class. Beating Ferguson makes it better,because you have two top contenders who earned their way there and we neither of them have faced Conor yet so its fresh.
its really weird to me too,doesnt make sense.
Plus if he beats Aldo, and it takes a while, Conor will say "Khabibs a bum, ye! It took me 13 fookin' seconds to do what took him tree rounds, ye! Im not interested in that fight, ye". Aldo is still damaged goods at this point, almost the laughing stock of MMA, and even if Khabib beat him, it would not be as impressive as and good for brand building as beating TFerg. Conor has told us "I only take steps forward" and fighting Aldo is taking a step back, giving Aldo the chance to erase Conor's greatest achievement in a fight that would not nearly sell as well as Conor vs Nate or Conor vs Khabib/TFerg.
