Borden 1,078 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 A bit of talk coming from GSP and his camp about Khabib being a good match up. I actually would like to see that. GSP has elite wrestling (liking not at Khabibs level though), he’s the bigger guy and probably has better striking. But Khabib has a significant age advantage. GSP is likely still a decent PPV draw too. However, Tony deserves his shot at the title. So, Khabib liking serves at least a 6 month suspension then needs time for camp and a recovery for a fight with Tony. So, it’s likely two years before a GSP/Khabib fight. Which would put GSP at 39 years old. I’m not sure how excited anyone would be about that. Unless GSP dominates a fight a top lightweight prior to that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AhrnCityPahnder 4,607 Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 Via Khabob's uncle (Khabob's yer uncle?) Khabob was offered $15M for a rematch with Conor, he doesn't want it -- Sounds like he wants to fight El Cucuy and then retire. We're at the mercy of google translate here, but the gist of it is pretty clear. >>>>Rapper 50 Cent said he was willing to pay Habib two million dollars if he transferred to Bellator. For two million, Habib will not fight. Now he is ready to go into battle for no less than five million. In Bellator we were told to name our amount, and they are ready to sign a contract. If Habib leaves UFC, another eight people can leave with him. I can not list them all, but they are powerful, good fighters. I will not yet call their names. The UFC asked Habib not to hurry, because they have not yet made a final decision. >>>>Is it possible to revenge with Conor? - Not. >>>>Why? - He is not interested in Habib. He will not fight him for any money. Yes, I know that they are offering him a rematch. From the start, they offered him 15 million, if he agrees. But Habib said no. Let Conor stand in line, let him fight with others. But Habib wants to fight Ferguson, and then finish his career. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cockroach 2,591 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 21 hours ago, DJackson10 said: Never said I was defending Conor's bus incident. Simple saying to put all this on Conor is unfair. Like the guy or not Khabib wanted to Fight Conor, then like a ##### confronts one of his guys with two others. I heard during that Khabib made mention of Conor's grandfather to Artem which Artem told Conor which set him off on the bus incident. Then Conor attacks Khabib's family with his words. Like I said not sure why Khabib is so upset when he unleashed most of this. After Khabib mentioned Conor's Grandfather all bets were off. When I meant by attack I mean going after Khabib and his family. Sorry but if Khabib made the initial call out then went after Artem with his Russian thugs and mentioned Conor's Grandfather I can't feel sorry for what Connor said about Khabib's family. Thats like the bully picking on someone and then finally gets popped and runs home to mommy and daddy and plays the victim card. Khabib isn't as innocent as people think. None of what Khabib said to Artem at the hotel was about Connor or his Poppop. They just had a little man to man, where Khabib told him to keep his name out of his mouth unless he wants some. Then look at Connor's juvenile delinquent reaction with his touch butt pals. Also, as to the bolded, I don't think Khabib is "upset" at all. I think he DGAF about dik but his principals.

I don't know if Khabib is getting underpaid or not, it's just that Mayweather fighting anyone creates a gigantic, metric ton of money. He's on his own level in terms of selling PPV's, although if he goes back to the well either by fighting an MMA fighter, or say, Pacquiao again, the money isn't going to be the same. If Khabib boxed Errol Spence, he wouldn't make nearly as much as he would headlining a UFC PPV. As an aside, Mayweather is a complete weirdo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I liked what I saw. I love Fedor and hope he wins. But the dude was just windmilling haymakers at Sonnen. Fedor didn't have to worry about making mistakes because Sonnen had very little power when he was a 185er and posed almost zero threat to Fedor. Bader isn't a heavyweight and isn't a great LHW, but he's pretty good. And he's much stronger and far more athletic than Sonnen. If Fedor's terrible (from a technical standpoint) striking gets him out of position (and judging from his last few fights, it will), Bader has the grappling skills to take Fedor down and enough strength to keep the fight there for longer periods.

In return, ONE will release former welterweight champion Ben Askren from his contract so he can finally join the UFC. Sources say the "trade" isn't finalized just yet, however, it has been discussed at length and is categorized by multiple sources as close to getting done.
