supremebve Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 If you are Anthony Pettis, how much money would it take for you to accept a fight with Khabib? Khabib is kind of specially made to beat the fuck out of Anthony Pettis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 My main thought now is that I hope MMA can get past this and come out OK. This feels like it could become a major breaking point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Fight I most looked forward to is still there, Thug Rose vs. Joanna 2. Wanting Thug Rose to win and retain the UFC Women's Strawweight Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 What does it even mean when Dana White says "this is bigger than me firing him." It's not a real answer. If you don't want to fire him because you are afraid he'd sign with Vince McMahon, just say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I've been hyped all week for Joanna/Rose 2, and woke up this morning to discover nearly the whole goddamn card got massacred. At least the one fight I wanted to see is still okay. It's still okay right? I know a girl who knew Conor back in Ireland before he was anybody. He was a piece of shit then and he's a piece of shit now. I hope gets his ass sued off. Goodbye Mayweather Money. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want to fire him because you are afraid he'd sign with Vince McMahon, just say no. Remember that Dana does not own UFC anymore. He is just the promoter/CEO rolled out right now. The final call will likely fall with WME-IMG. The entertainment owners could take a different view since they are all about entertainment, not fighting. --- That said, it should be the other way around. He should be suspended by UFC and the athletic commissions so he cannot just wander off and do a boxing match. --- Final decision likely rests with the names in the article. http://mmajunkie.com/2016/09/ufc-releases-list-of-23-new-celebrity-owners-and-it-includes-a-bunch-of-friends-of-the-program 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muhammedboehm Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Does anyone know how many fights he has left on his UFC contract? Could that be something they could use against him? I mean he cant go anywhere with out them oking it if he has multiple fights left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilwaldo Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 He would need sanctions by the athletic commissions in Nevada, California, and New York to put a halt to any plans, UFC or otherwise. UFC can suspend him indefinitely. Bellator can as well but the owners of each company are likely looking at a potential payday from Captain Train Wreck. In a nutshell, this is our society where we value train wrecks over civility because everyone wants to rubber neck a car crash. Chances are, if Dana does nothing, the owners are the ones ultimately pulling the strings behind the scenes because they are entertainment owners, not sports owners.

supremebve Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 So a guy who has won one fight in the last 3 years is eligible to fight for a title, but one who has won 3 fights last year against superior competition is not. Makes all the sense in the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, this is the biggest comeup Khabib could have possibly hoped for. It has become pretty clear that Conor wasn't interested in fighting Khabib since he won the championship...now Khabib is going to make an example out of poor Al Iaquinta and talk all the shit in the world before, during, and after. They might want to put a lavalier on him now, and just record him until he goes back to Dagestan. Conor threw his tantrum yesterday, and is going to look like the biggest bitch in the world if he doesn't sign up to fight Khabib. You guys are talking about punishment from the UFC...shiiiiiiiiiiiit, you want to punish him make him fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Khabib/Iaquinta is now official w/ Khabib being able to win the belt. Sucks for Felder because he isn't going to fight his teammate Pettis. Hopefully, he gets compensated. I'm guessing that they'll both be put on the Chicago card. I'll update the OP and add the weights and all that once I get time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
