Your Prediction for Khabib as Champ

[Mixedfights]

We all know he BARELY makes the weight and is often injured.


What is your "Khabib Time" defense prediction?

Honestly, its 2 at best.

 

[BrookinsFan]

At least Ramadan falls in May-June so he can get right back in there second half of 2018.

 

[fortheo]

2-3 then he moves up to WW. His dad said there have been times where khabib got up to 198lbs.

Time to go to WW khabib

 

[Ruthless_swag]

Would say 1 max. He is going to get ko'd very soon. Probably by tony.

 

[QueenVitor]

He’ll be champ until Conor’s return. Eddie could probably take him out too, but UFC hates him for some reason, so he’ll never get title shot again.

 

[Soul On Ice]

For as long as Conor allows him

 

[Congo66]

It's only Tony who's likely to beat him at LW but looking at the state of his leg, who knows when that one happens. It doesn't look like he's next anyway and lol at the Conor comments, like he's fighting Khabib.

No idea on the number as there's no way to how the opponents line up but he will defend in less than 18 months time and he won't disappear trying to fight GGG.

Between Ramadan, his propensity for injury, and problems cutting weight, I'll be amazed if he defends twice

 

[dc007]

He wont even stay at LW long enough for more than 2 defenses if he doesn't lose those fights anyway.

 

[machidafan99]

He will be stripped because of boredom

Kevin Lee is a great match up against Khabib

Also wtf 1 defense in 18 months? Is that the goal line?

 

[Sinthesized]

He beats Conor, Tony then Lee, all in dominating fashion. Then moves to WW.

 

[moogie101]

I reckon Khabib defends against Eddie.

In the meantime 165 division announced, Conor wins that belt "Triple Champ blah blah blah" & then champion vs. champion with Khabib early 2019.

Hopefully Tony fit to challenge the winner.

 

[FreddieRoachsVoice]

A lot of boos and fan walkouts

 

[Taco Loco]

He will probably get injured before first defense, will be sidelined for 8 months. In that time an interim champ will be crowned and when he does return he will lose the unification match.

Funny thing is, that's a real possibility given how often he's injured lol.

 

[Jon's Drug Dealer]

Won't make a single successful title defense, assuming he even gets to defend it in the first place. Didn't look like himself against a lesser fighter who prepared for a 3 round fight. An actual contender with a training camp focused on 5 rounds will make a mockery of Khabib. Cardio will always be an issue in the championship rounds for him at 155, considering how much weight he cuts.

 

[Slapchoppin]

he'll schedule more title defenses than McGregor but fewer will actually happen

 

[Desji]

He's going to schedule a fight with Mcgregor. Then pull out with a knee injury the week of the fight. Nate Diaz will be his replacement that night - after that Mcgregor won't fight in MMA again and Khabib will move to 170. We will never see any of the Ferguson, Khabib, Mcgregor trio fight each other...

Zero defenses... Zero lightweight belt legitimacy.

Also Tony Ferguson will become the Shogun Rua of 155. The rest of his career will be plagued by injuries and before too long he will be a frail shopworn fighter taking beatings from young prospects. He will continue to fight way too long. It will be depressing...

 

[John makfresshi]

More then Conor

 

[The Penetrator]

I honestly dont see anyone beating him, atm...

Tony has the highest chance in my opinion, but that injury, at his age, and the way he is training, who knows we will see from him, hes not that young anymore...

Conor is gonna get rekt, at this weight guys can take his punch, hes gonna get worn out and gas as usual.
