Pettis makes more sense than Iaquinta but Al is the better fight, and it's very funny to me when good things happen to him or Kajan Johnson because they're both huge muckrakers whom I suspect the ufc would rather not employ

I'd say the Irish are the Jets as they're probably on planes back to Ireland as we speak, while the Dagestani are the Sharks as more than a few of them have killed and eaten people

it'd be sick to have crazy Al Iaquinta who destroys hotel rooms and retires every week to do real estate beat khabib and be crowned champ...but that aside i had him beating Felder and he's easily better than Pettis so this isn't that bad of a fight

it's crazy that the UFC are so desperate to wrap a belt around Khabib that they'd be willing to give him one on account of him beating the #13 guy, and are now willing to risk a guy who trashes the company every week be crowned champ...but WME and all I guess

There's no mention of whether or not this is for the title right?

I hope they just strip Conor and have it vacant where Khabib is the #1 contender again forever.

He could very well spend all his money, but I can't imagine how he'll ever be in a position to not earn a boatload more.
Unless he's in jail. Or buried in a bog.

The plan is supposedly to make this a one-sided title fight where Khabib is eligible but Al is not.

We're all doomed
Only Khabib is eligible to win the title, so if Iaquinta wins the title remains in limbo. Felder is off the card which only has 9 fights on it now.

They should have just stripped Conor, given Khabib the strap and saved the few brain cells Iaquinta had.
