Fighters say stuff though. End of the day, they do what the UFC tells them. Most of the time atleast. Has Khabib really earned a title shot? It has now been almost 3 years since he beat RDA.
Aldo said he was gonna retire because he didn't get a fight with Conor. Love Aldo as a fighter but UFC is supposed to risk the MSG card on a guy that has pulled out of 5 fights already? Gimme a break.
If RDA wins then I think you give it to Khabib but if Ferguson wins then maybe have them fight and winner gets Alvarez/Conor winner.
Really?
I haven't seen much of Johnson TBH. Just saw Diaz school him. Really wasn't impressed by him.
Khabib healthy is an animal man. Watch the RDA fight, he ragdolled him for 3 rounds. And that is RDA who is 1 of the best grapplers/wrestlers in the division.
I doubt Khabib is looking past, he just seems like he was born to fight grizzly bears or inside a cage. He knows he needs a win to get a big fight.
Nah I didn't see that fight. That isn't close to the caliber of win as ragdolling RDA though. I might be underestimating him but did you see the Diaz fight? Diaz schooled him. I know Diaz is a top 155'er but if you're going after the belt he shouldn't be killing you.
I do think if Khabib is healthy he is the best in the division. Just the pressure he can apply, grapple, get you on the ground. He is like a 155 pound Cain Velaquez.
Too bad he is just as inury prone though.
