The UFC are pulling all the tricks to protect Conor. Khabib's team countered with their own move.

The UFC's set ups and tricks:

1. Have Holloway prepared specifically for Khabib back when he was too "injured" to fight Edgar. (Only 4 weeks ago, but some how, he made a miraculous recovery!)

2. Have Ferguson pull out at the very last minute, citing a "freak injury".

3. Switch in Holloway.

4. Say the fight is for "The real 155 title" but refused to say Conor will be stripped.

5. The final trick:

• ==> Have Max misses weight - like Yoel Romero did vs. Rockhold
• ==> Title fight is off
• ==> Conor keeps his title
  
• ==> But the Khabib fight is still on at catch weight, just like Romero vs. Rockhold

If Khabib wins: He gets no title.

If Holloway wins: He gets a shot at fighting for the 155 belt against Conor!


This is Khabib's team counter move against the UFC tricks:

• Have Khabib pull out due to medical safety reason because of ... ___ (we will find out soon)

EDIT: Here is why I believe a medical pull-out is likely to happen:




EDIT #2: Khabib just fired his weight cutting coach.

According to George Lockhart’s reporting of Max’s weight, Holloway was approximately 186 pounds when he got the call to fight Khabib on six days notice.

With their UFC 223 main event scheduled for the UFC lightweight world title, that means Holloway has to drop 31 pounds in six days.
​

The plot thickens... I TOLD YOU M*THERF*CKERS!!! Stop being stupid sheep!!!

no actually if max misses weight but khabib makes it he still gets to win the title, just like rockhold would have if he would of won. Waste of a thread man, better luck next time

Mad Max and Khabib both gonna be ready to rumble in the Thunderdome!

The bullshit stops real soon.

 

[Toco]

no, if khabib makes 155 he is eligible for the title

 

[MayhemMonkey]

 

[blaseblah]

Khabib's manager has specified he isn't fighting unless it's for the real title. Pretty sure it's in his contract.

All the things are correct, but if Kebab wins he is eligible for the title, isnt he?

 

[Mixedfights]

Damn son. Never go full retard.

 

[VVarhead]

You're wrong.

If Holloway can't make weight, but Khabib can - Khabib can still win the title.
Just Holloway can't.

 

[Bogeyman]

Sounds 100% legit.

(Of course they could have achieved the same thing by just cancelling the fight when Tony pulled out but shhh)

 

[Harmonica]

Conor will become irrelevant as soon as you people stop talking about him...which will never happen, obviously.

 

[TDD]

This all makes sense but somehow the National Bank is involved too with the Mayans.

 

[IGotAHugePeckah]

How are they protecting Conor at this point? He's been stripped of the belt.

Yes, the man who just did 5 million PPV buys with Floyd will soon become irrelevant. It'll happen any day now, don't worry! <Lmaoo>

Holloway pulled out of his fight Feb 3rd 2018, on Saturday it will be about 9 weeks ago, which is enough time to heal from a fracture, he got cleared by the doctors so I’m not expecting that injury to hinder his performance, but we can’t expect him to be %100.

 

[SpedDaddyV]

you were on to something...

you built me up....

and then you crashed..

why wouldn't he get the title if he makes weight and wins ala Rockhold (except Rockhold lost)?

kind of stupid thread.
