We've seen top fighter simply refuse to take such steps so close to fights of this magnitude, and you can't blame them for it. I know; I'm just postulating that might be his thinking as to why he'd agree to take the fight after two changes of opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamTH17 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 It makes a whole lot more sense for the UFC to try and book Khabib against Felder/Iaquinta. At least those guys are actually coming off of victories! I wasn't huge on Khabib vs Holloway in the circumstances they were booked under. Pettis replacing Khabib does absolutely nothing for me.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted April 6, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 6, 2018 Ha, I like Ragin' Al. Wouldn't fancy his chances against Khabib but I'd give him a better shot than Pettis at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TildeGuy~! Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Felder and Iaquinta have both asked for the fight and both weighed in at 155 Pettis hasn’t bothered to make weight and it doesn’t look like he will be weighing in anytime soon. WHAT IS GOING ON Pettis needs to weigh in within the next 38mins for the fight to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamTH17 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Conor must be pissing himself laughing inside his cell at the moment. What an utter shambles he's managed to create since winning the Lightweight belt. I bet the prick is going to be telling TMZ that this was "all part of the plan" as soon as he's released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted April 6, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 6, 2018 Give it to Iaquinta then! Fuck this thread is moving fast. Its like a fucking Sherdog thread, it's hard to keep up with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I want to see that fight, it's quite obviously cursed. Every time they book that one everything goes balls up. Doing it on NYE would be even worse. It'd make the terror over the Millenium Bug look like an episode of Peppa Pig. 1 minute ago, jimufctna24 said: Rickson by armbar. Ah fuck you you white belt TUF n00b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in boxing titles are only vacated when governing bodies call mandatory defences that are not in the interests of their career. UFC should have taken the title off him ages ago as a condition of him fighting Floyd, it's up to them to decide what to do with their own title.

David Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 It seems Khabib's involvement tomorrow isn't confirmed, he's negotiating with the UFC. And rightly so, I'd be asking for more coin if I was being fucked about that much as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
