Cowboy vs Conor for the interim is a shambles, if Conor wants the belt at least man up and fight Tony
Didn’t the Irish muppet Conor hold and never defend for like 2 years?.
Did you say the same when McGregor held up the division, for 17 months ? I doubt it..A case for him to be stripped doesn’t need to be made
A case for him to hold the belt needs to be made
Strip him
there no case to strip khabib. only people who think that are bitter conor fan boys.
when the nsac suspended khabib and took him off ufc 235 theuc knew khabib wouldnt fight again until after ramadon holiday. so now the ufc will have a fight to see who fight khabib over the summer and that fight will happen on the first big vegas ppv after the holiday is over
man how hard is that.
Sherbros,
The following is a short argument for stripping Khabib of the 155 belt. The basic facts are that Khabib was offered a 3-month reduction of his 9-month suspension for his flying monkey dive unto Dillon Penis at UFC 229 if he did an anti-bullying PSA. Khabib has refused, and instead demanded that unless his cousin Abubakar and his friend Zubaira Tugukhov have their suspensions reduced, he will not fight until November.
1. His refusal to fight is 100% voluntary, and is in addition to his legal prohibitions from fighting. He is not making the UFC money, he is not hurt, and he has several worthy contenders.
2. His "point" that he is making is morally repugnant. He is clearly trying to show that his backwards "Muslim brothers band together" mentality needs to be forgiven and given wide breadth. Both his friends jumped into a cage to assault a fighter. Zubaira did it from behind, and was not even a cornerman. He should be banned for life, frankly. This is not a savage nation. His standing up for his vile friends makes it worse, not better.
3. Ali Abdelazziz is trying to increase his standing and influence, and often does this by banging the Muslim drum. If ever there was a moment to remind him that only McGregor gets special treatment (and even then, only because he fights relatively often and makes the UFC many, many millions).
4. Unlike Conor, Khabib is not a mega star. Conor was stripped of the 145 belt fairly quickly, and only stripped of the 155 belt when an actual title fight was booked.
5. There are extremely worthy opponents, and Ferguson has already gotten an interim title. It would be wrong to make contenders fight each other when neither has had a chance against Khabib yet.
6. All the players in the championship hunt (Poirer, Ferguson, Khabib himself) except Conor are extremely injury prone. Time is not on anyone's side.
In conclusion, I believe the correct move is to strip Khabib if he refuses to do the PSA and book a pre-Ramadan fight. Tony and Poirer (both of whom are injury prone as is) need to be booked for the belt this spring. Let Conor fight Cerrone. If Khabib is ready after, let him be the challenger, and make challenger money, against the winner. OR if you really want to make a point, let him fight someone else, let the Conor-Cerrone winner or another challenger fight in the fall, and let Khabib get his shot if he wins later, in February 2020.
Yes, he should of been stripped. Like mcgregor he can always come back for a mega fight when he’s ready, the division needs to move onDid you say the same when McGregor held up the division, for 17 months ? I doubt it..
Crowning a paper champ, isn't exactly the best way for the 'division to move on'. Book Tony vs Conor or Poirer Interim belt, and the winner can fight Khabib in November. Its pretty simple..Yes, he should of been stripped. Like mcgregor he can always come back for a mega fight when he’s ready, the division needs to move on
I would be fine with that if Ferguson hadn’t already fought for a interim and been stripped of itCrowning a paper champ, isn't exactly the best way for the 'division to move on'. Book Tony vs Conor or Poirer Interim belt, and the winner can fight Khabib in November. Its pretty simple..
So you want the UFC to allow every fighter to turn into Conor McGregor? Closet fanboyUntil you address McGregor holding onto two separate belts for longer periods of time with no intention of ever defending... There is zero case.
Ramadan is in the summer this year I believe. They gave him the PSA, and he threw it in NSAC's face. This is all about Khabib's criminal friends. Aiding and abetting is my view.there no case to strip khabib. only people who think that are bitter conor fan boys.

There is nothing stopping Khabib fighting in April
he refused, and is refusing to return when his ban ends as well
Wait until he goes as long as Conor did without defending

so him fighting on the first big ppv card in vegas after ramadan like in 2018 is just fine.
khabib not been in camp at all so what his reason to sign to fight someone on short notice.
ufc says on any conor fight they need the max time to promote is so if it again conor vs khabib 2 in september it a win win for all people maybe not conor hahaha
Hi Osama!so when he was suspended and not able to fiight that took him out of fighting at ufc 235. so now he out until after the holiday so what the problem.
he fight over ufc figures out at the first big ppv in september. going from 9 ro 6 months means nothing since that still takes him into ramadan holiday.
if onloy had dillon danis kepy his mouth shut and conor not throw a punch first the brawl wouldnt happened.
