Yes, probably will happen early next year, unless Khabib gets a suspension. Dont think mayweather fight is going to happen though, khabib doesnt stand a chance in a boxing fight
true he wont stand a chance but he is chasing that big check like conor did before him , neither conor had a chance to beat him ^^ floyed is hated but there is no doubt about his skills and why he is undefeated
What everyone seems to be ignoring here is that the fight with Mayweather happened because Conor is a huge, proven PPV draw. Is Khabib? Before his fight with Conor I think the answer was a hard "no". Now, after the Conor fight and especially after the melee afterwards... I'm willing to upgrade that to a weak "maybe". I don't think a Mayweather-Nurmagomedov fight happens because Khabib doesn't bring enough financial upside to the table.
As for Khabib fighting Tony Ferguson sure, I along with pretty much any other MMA fan would love to see that fight. But I'll believe it's actually happening once they're both in the cage and the bell rings, not before.
Previously, the UFC fought the best fighters for the champion's belt, now the main task is to earn as much money as possible (((Therefore, regardless of what happens in the battle, it all comes down to money!
I think it will be an interesting fight, cucuy Ferguson has very good fight, so for Habib will not be a fight so easy, like the tube against Mcgregor, but I see it as a favorite Russian fighter, especially if the fight It takes place in Russia.
Everyone, thank you very much for the answers! But the money for them now is yes ... This is in the first place ... Mayweather gives it as much as Conor ... There’s nothing even to think about) But! But they will eat a couple more million dollars ....
Tferg is the best challenger for The Eagle. I still have Khabib but if the line was right I'd put down on Tony. Just don't think Tony can stay vertical...he wont be held down but it will be enough to win rounds. No finish here at all from Khabib and if it does come for Tony it will be off of something slick in transition. Also don't know if Khabib has the gas tank for Tony...his pace is savage.
If the fight takes place, this will be a real test for Habib, Ferguson is super hardy not when he doesn’t give up, feels super in stand and fight, let's see it will be much more interesting than the fight with Conor.
