Khabib's suspension can get cut down to 6 months as well if he does an anti bullying video.

Maybe he can have it linked at the end of the video where his goon crew are out mocking and bullying the homeless and slamming homosexuals. Seems like a good fit.

Oh get off your high horse, like you've never mocked/bullied the homeless.

Khabib not fighting again until November, per his manager.

That's annoying.

Khabib in general is annoying. "Greatest athlete of all time" because he beat Barbosa, Al Iquinta, RDA and Connor lol.

I wont lie, I cant think of a fighter that I did a complete 180 on as quickly as I have with Khabib. I thought the early videos of him with Luke and DC at AKA were funny and the dude seemed like a humble guy. I loved watching him fight and was a massive fan. But damn, the videos of the homeless people, the idiotic brawl, then not taking any blame for what happened. He preached to death about how he is a true fighter, guys who only do money fights are stupid. Yet now he rarely wants to fight, whenever you hear about him and a potential fight, we always hear about how he wont do that fight because he wants 20-30 million for his next fight. Also he wants to box Floyd now as well. I honestly cant stand the guy.

At least Conor is pretty damn straight up, he is all about the money and he isnt afraid to say it. Khabib is just so annoying now and I cant wait until someone humbles that dude. I also wouldnt be shocked if he takes his 1st loss horribly as well, unlike Conor who handles losses extremely well surprisingly.

Lots of talk of a 155 interm title
Tony vs who? Conor? Dustin? Max?

Hopefully Tony vs Dustin. And they should do one IMO since champ is deciding to sit out for a year.

Tony vs Max would be the most insane fight in the history of MMA.

If the sport wants to be legitimate or try to correct the path it’s been on in regards to not following a ranking system, then Dustin vs Tony for the interm has to happen.

But if they want to create superfights and market major events, it’s Tony vs Max all the way.

I can’t hate on either fight, but I would appreciate some sense being made in that division

Meh. I don't know how many truly impressive wins or performances Dustin has. Is Eddie his biggest win? Other than the early one against a 20-y-o Max? Eddie is ringworn and too short for 155.

To me, Dustin does not seem to have anything particularly special athletically or technically. He is just a rugged dude and B+ fighter. And haaaaaaaaaaaandsome. He also has a couple definitive losses sitting on his record.

Whereas, Max might have his 145 days behind him and has won 13 in a row, most in absolute KO/TKO destructions. He's more worthwhile on all fronts than DP.
Hi love, bye love, I will miss my love.

I think he's been hinting it and it makes sense, he's killing himself to make 145.

I'm fine if he moves up, less interested if it's another champ v champ nonsense.

That's pretty much the only reason for champs to move up

Manny Bermudez is nasty on the ground. Only 24, dude's going to be a bantamweight contender real soon.
