Let's get it on!!!!
Khabib doesn't deserve a title shot. Doesn't matter that he already beat RDA. He hasn't fought in 2 years and RDA is his only good win.
Are we forgetting that Dominick hadn't fought since 2014 and came back to win the title?
Khabib vs. RDA rematch makes more sense than Cruz vs. Dillashaw did.
This should happen
I'm iffy on this one....
Khabib wins, then is absent for another 2 yrs w injury?
I guess my bigger problem is that I think if champ is injured, interim should go into effect immediately. Champs have to fight. They sit once for injury, someone will be creeping up on them. Sit 2x, they lose the belt. Worried about possibility of Khabib winning, then seeing no belt defense for yrs...
Here's zuffas thinking......will this fight make money?????? Survey says.........depends on how well they could market khabib. Though if Diaz was planning on going back to 155 after this then the ufc could market khabib as the guy who brawled with diaz, get his name out more, and regardless of who wins the nate vs connor fight, and the khabib vs rda fight there would be at least two more huge money shows made out the connor vs rda, and Nate vs rda or khabib depending on outcomes of fights.
And make no mistake, this is the Era of the "money fight", you could be undefeated but if you have no buzz, or drama, you're going to have a long road to the top. It's a unique time in this sport fire sure
303 - And make no mistake, this is the Era of the "money fight", you could be undefeated but if you have no buzz, or drama, you're going to have a long road to the top. It's a unique time in this sport fire sureU could be right but rda and khabib don't move the needle like nate & connor

Sir Psycho Sexy - Khabib doesn't deserve a title shot. Doesn't matter that he already beat RDA. He hasn't fought in 2 years and RDA is his only good win.Hahahah at this logic, he earned it long ago.

Do you even Islam bro. Khabib says no to fighting during Ramadan.
damn dude this thread title needed a question mark
"RDA is his only good win"
What in the fuck.
No khabib and rda dont. But win lose or draw connor and Nate are gonna be huge draws. Nate wants to go back to 155. Have khabib and rda fight; if khabib wins you can have him and Nate fight for belt at 155 market drama, if rda wins then he gets either nate if nate wins or if connor wins. And there's more fights to make there with that combo of fighters
DIAZ STOLE ME LUCKY CHARMS -By beating who? RDA was a no name at the time. All of his other wins are against fighters no where near the top 10, and they were mainly sloppy lay and pray wins. Hell, he lost to Tibau for Christ sakes. How about he beats a top 10 fighter first.Sir Psycho Sexy - Khabib doesn't deserve a title shot. Doesn't matter that he already beat RDA. He hasn't fought in 2 years and RDA is his only good win.Hahahah at this logic, he earned it long ago.

Not necessarily about what's fair, it's about selling fights. I say, book it.
Now that el cucuy is injured it should allow Khabib more time to get injured himself.
WTF
I want to see Khabib fight again, and now this. It's just a matter of time before this bear wrestling fuck blows his knee out again.
Please let the MMA gods bless this man
Throwin'Knuckles - The Eagle hasn't soared in 2 years. How do we know it will fly.You have to believe. Plus he hurt his leg not his wing

209'd@170 - Do you even Islam bro. Khabib says no to fighting during Ramadan.THIS

Ramadan is June-July. Khabib won't take that fight
@arielhelwani: Correct. I was told July is out of the question for Khabib.
I bet he doesn't bowl on Sundays either.
