Guys - would you rather see Khabib v. Felder/Iaquinita/Pettis or Khabib v. someone at UFC 224, which is the only other PPV Khabib is available for for a while (because of Ramadan)?

The only person that would make any sort of sense would be Eddie Alvarez. I'd rather Khabib fight Pettis. I think Pettis' submission game will at least give him a chance of winning.

Has anyone been able to confirm that Conor yelled "Form Voltron!" right before the attack?

If/when he fights again, tons of people are gonna want to watch, but I'd imagine the reception will be totally different. All but the diehard Irish fans will probably be against him. Does he just go full heel from here on out?

Probably just get in his face. The funniest thing about all of this is Conor could have fought Khabib legally, made like 20+ million, and do way more to him than some weak teenager intimidation.

Instead he'll get sued for a boatload of money, damage his brand and future earning potential massively, and have some stupid criminal nonsense to deal with, all while doing absolutely nothing to Khabib.

So is he just holding out for more money before he makes weight?

Where was Conor in the boxing rankings when the Mayweather bout was approved? I guess the difference is that the NYAC is an actual commission.

Couldn’t even get him a sign.

Would love to have overheard the contract negotiations. Pettis must have been asking for a ridiculous amount to lose the fight to a guy who is best known for **** talking the organization.

Al’s victories are pretty impressive tho. 85% takedown D and he’s real tough. He’s live at least.

they couldn't do the pettis fight. all of the real fans would have been so annoyed. we've all seen pettis lose to much lesser wrestlers than khabib. literally nobody wants to see that fight.

this fight i actually do want to see, because raging al seems like the kind of guy who hates to be underestimated and he will also have additional fuel via spite and hatred toward the UFC

Raging Al is legit with wins over Jorge Masvidal and Kevin Lee.

Heh

I think AL is live. Dude is pretty darn good with legit tdd. Much, much better fight than Pettis. Plus no prep time means way higher variance

Yeah, he might be more live than Max too although Max’s striking moving backwards is elite. I’m just pissed because I had bets I really liked down on Khabib vs Max.
