Jolldan 12,888 Report post Posted October 8 Well for a long time the Lightweight belt was in a state of flux held between three different fighters. For over a year now there hasn't been a clear cut champion. Conor McGregor - The champ champ took the belt off former champion Eddie Alvarez in November of 2016 but never defended it. PRO's: Beat the champion to take the belt CON's: No Defences Khabib Nurmagomedov - The undefeated Russian beat last minute replacement Al Iaquinta to be crowned the new Lightweight champ. PRO's: Undefeated CON's: Didn't beat a top contender for the belt Tony Ferguson - Then you have Ferguson who is now riding an 11 fight winning streak and was crowned the Interim Lightweight champ. PRO's: 11 fight winning streak CON's: Stripped of interim belt due to injury With Khabib taking out Conor at the weekend this should have laid a clear path to Nurmagomedov vs. Ferguson to finally end all questions on who the best 155 in the world is. But after the debacle after the fight it could potentially be thrown back in to flux again with predictions for Khabib's punishment ranging from a potential 10% fine ($200,000) to a 6 -12 month suspension. To which Dana has already said “If he gets suspended, it depends on how long his suspension is and yeah, he’s probably going to get stripped if it’s a long suspension.” Meaning any plans of a showdown between Khabib and Tony will be potentially be cancelled for a fifth time. Do you think Khabib will be suspended? If yes how long? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bubba_Sparks 53,374 Report post Posted October 8 (edited) The UFC constantly finds innovative new ways to do the wrong thing and make a mockery of any semblance of merit-based title shots. So I reckon this is what happens:- Khabib gets no suspension/short suspension - Khabib v Conor II for the LW belt. Khabib gets a lengthy suspension and Nate wins - Conor v Nate III for the vacant LW belt after they strip Khabib. Btw, this is all Frankie Edgar's fault. The LW picture was clear cut and awesome before he turned up and dragged us into a series of endless 5 round rematches.

PunchBag 4,264 Report post Posted October 8 Poirer, diaz, lee, ferguson any of those will make another great fight. Plenty of top tlaent for Khabib to beat since he kind of missed them all on his climb to the top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kmendoza95 28 Report post Posted October 8 I can see him being suspended up to a year, but who knows. It can go so many other routes because I believe they need to look at this situation deeper than him just jumping over the cage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I_Take_Roids_m8 27,027 Report post Posted October 8 Lol at him being suspended. This is $$$$$ for the UFC. An actual thug doing thug chit instead of just yapping about it. Dana white is cumming in his pants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My esteemed colleague Cashflow was never a Conor hater; he was a Cole hater, and Cole was the most annoying fan of any fighter in the world ever, so it was entirely justified.

It also does not change you saying and quote "Even Vegas knows this fight is stupid." regarding Conor vs Nate where you said Conor would smoke him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
