no idea, Im wondering what happens if he leaves UFC and goes to Bellator what would the 155 look like how many would think about moving cause at that weight class if its not a fight with Connor money is not out of this world, but once upon a time being with the UFC was where the best is. if the best is not there who knows just been waiting for the day the break up of power happens. remember the sport is still very young

If Khabib left to go to Bellator the Lightweight division in UFC would still have most of the audience eyes on that division. McGregor didn't have a fight last year in the UFC and Lightweight division was still where the party was at.

You look at the top 15 and what may come up from Featherweight in Zabit, Holloway and maybe Aldo.....it's fun times ahead.

I can’t imagine him moving to Bellator.
It’s pretty much irrelevant.

It wont help his legacy, it won’t earn him as much money in the long term.

But it will be interesting to see what happens now he and the UFC have made their stances around Tukhugov.

The ufc would go on, but the LW division would lose out quite a bit imo.

The shift towards Bellator could happen very quickly I reckon. Imagine if Conor loses his next fight, Dana retires and Khabib is in Bellator.

The article about Khabib turning down a fight with McGregor and planning on retiring soon is all garbage.

I’m really looking forward to ufc 230 might not be a massive ppv hit but for the genuine mma/ufc fans there is a few nice fights. Spewing we have no Diaz/Poirier though.

Yeah just saw that. Sucks.

How'd u go with the Adelaide tickets?
I've been indecisive, left it a bit late, now only the furthest away seats left. Might just do tv.
Didn't bother
We are going away soon so saved the cash seeing as it's free on fox
Plus decent floor seats that we wanted looking at the map were in the 200s so a 500 buck night for a couple tickets fuel and food seemed steep when it's free on tv because it's a Fight Night

Dana has come out and says now the Diaz fight is off he doesnt want to offer him another fight in the UFC period. sad i like watching both the Diaz brothers fight would love to see them both fighting at Bellator but wont happen
That fight was pulled because Nate’s opponent Dustin Poirer got injured.

Nate is a nightmare but there’s more than enough fanfare to continue with him.
