Bruh tony vs khabib needs to happen give Conor to Nate

[ashleyjones]

I don't wanna see the rematch let conor fight someone else first

[TheJking]

Tony Ferguson is the type of dude to go to sleep on Elm Street just to fight Freddy Krueger.

[alcottdevalte]

It's always about the money even though khabib vs tony should be next.

[bokal]

Dana said no rematch for Cyborg because Amanda dominated the fight. How come Conor gets it then? Dana is such a crook lol

[hindsy]

Conor McGregor vs Al Iaquinta should happen first they both lost to khabib they both want a khabib rematch.

I want to see khabib vs tony Ferguson

[scoundrel_]

Tell that overrated striker to go fight a contender and earn his shot

[syedashraf]

Tony Ferguson is a type of guy who introduce Bruce buffer..😎😎

Why the remarch if it was an obvious win? I dont get it

[BKS]

Why would anyone want to see Khabib Vs Conor again? It was a fairly easy win for Khabib. No reason for rematch in my opinion.
Khabib Vs Tony on the other hand 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[Torbjorn]

Why does Conor get a rematch? 1. He never defended the belt, 2. He got knocked down by Khabib and tapped

[bluelake]

Khabib vs Tony and Conor vs Poirier! THATS WHAT WE WANT!!!

[thebeastthing]

There’s no way Conor v Khabib goes any different than last time, Conor should fight Nate, then maybe Lee, then Al and then Khabib giving he wins all 3

[CobraShadowz]

No Dana nobody wants to see that fight. Khabib vs Tony is the fight to make. The only contender that is a legit threat to Khabib.

[artembless]

The reportes asked him if the fight happens in 2019 not next, people missed the part where he said " as long as everyone wins, it should happen " he never said it was next, he said it should happen in 2019.. so he may be referring that khabib should win against tony and conor should win against his next opponent. The rematch is too much money wasted if it doesn't happen, if the first fight made 2, 5 m ppv, rematch does 3, 5, its too much money to pass on, that's just reality, the ufc is run by wme and wme are a business and what do u think they will say if Dana tells them he will pass on a 3, 5 m ppv buys to make tony vs khabib to keep the sport legit, they would say fuck the legitimacy of the sport we want to make money

[RealistJ]

Rematch is only needed if the first fight was controversial and competitive, in this case it was neither and a one sided beat down so no thanks

[sanojey]

Breh im a Conor fan but if he fights khabib he'll get destroyed again he can fight khabib 100 times and he'll lose 100 times. But if I'm khabib i take this fight to destroy the last bit of hype Conor has and also, take all his star power

[MatchFixah]

So Cyborg who's never lost prior to her most recent fight against Nunes doesn't deserve a rematch but Connor McChicken does? what a joke

[Leviathan]

He doesn't deserve a rematch. Give it to Tony Ferguson!

[megatafiq]

Khabib vs Tony...Conor vs Dustin...Max debut 155 vs Barboza..Aldo debut 155 vs Gaethje
