(Twitter) Nurmagomedov vs. Alvarez might be happening next (Updated)

[Platinum]

If Alvarez mans up and takes it

Seems to be a done deal from Khabib/"Bosses" side.

Does he still deserve the title shot in the current LW picture.

 

[Ar145984]

IMO Eddie ducks Khabib

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Ferguson should get the shot.

 

[FedorGOAT]

Title shot belongs to Tony. He is on a nasty win streak. Eagle just simply doesn't deserve it. AT least for this moment.

Does he still deserve the title shot in the current LW picture.

Its either him or Ferguson and Ferg did not look very good tonight.

Of course there is Nate if he wins the freakshow fight but does he deserve it either? No. But hes the biggest draw so he'll probably get it if not Khabib

 

[Chomsky Honk]

Little eagle will soar again

 

[zulqarnayn]

Ferguson should get the shot.

I guess Ferguson deserves it more, even though his performance today was not too impressive.

 

[RiotWyatt]

Alvarez has the wrestling to keep the fight standing and better boxing than Khabib.

 

[McGeezle]

Fuck I hope Ferg doesn't get derailed in his next fight. I still need to see Ferg vs Khabib 5 rounds

 

[KeepItRealist]

Khabib could be just talking shit again.

Ferguson deserves it more and Alvarez wants Conor/Diaz winner, really Conor win or lose.

I'll pick Alvarez. He's very tough and I've always thought Khabib is very overrated. Alvarez is skilled enough to not get taken down and blanketed for 5 rounds. I still want to see Khabib get hit on the chin and see how it holds up.

 

[CJohnny]

Don't care about this fight.

Ferguson deserves it, even though he didn't looked good.

 

[dontlaugh]

Eddie is gonna chicken. But hey finally. Khabeagle might be the next champ. This is the Hot Potato belt anyway.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

I guess Ferguson deserves it more, even though his performance today was not too impressive.

It was a great fight that he finished.

 

[linvillegorge]

Khabib as the LW champ is the worst nightmare. LW is historically one of the deepest, most exciting weight classes in MMA. Khabib is a wet blanket who is constantly injured.

I have no clue how the guy has fans, but if he gets the belt he'll quickly become the most hated champ in the UFC.

 

[Sgt Smith]

I think Eddie is a bad matchup for Khabib. He's going to be extremely difficult to take down, striking is superior, and I think he's quicker as well. Hard to gauge anyone vs. a wrestler of Khabib's caliber, but I think Eddie might be able to stifle him. Would love to see if I'm right.

 

[Peteyandjia]

Tough draw for Eddie if it happens, Khabib will bounce him around like a basketball.

I have a feeling Eddie might take a break though, sit on the belt, no defense for awhile.

 

[Stockton Slap]

Title shot belongs to Tony. He is on a nasty win streak. Eagle just simply doesn't deserve it. AT least for this moment.

The only other guy would be Nate Diaz if he finishes McGregor again for the second time in amazing fashion and calls out the 155 champ which I think will happen if he wins impressively.

 

[Arkridge]

Don't like it coming off the Horcher fight.

 

[Adamant]

Awesome fight! I hope it happens. I can't really pick a winner at this point, but at 7-0 UFC and 23-0 overall, it's hard to pick against Khabib.
