i have to disagree free. i think khabib beats justin, justin beats tony if ever there is a rematch and khabib beats tony if he ever gets his chance to fight him.

 Tony win streak basically derseve the same respect as being dominant champ with 5+ defences in my oppion, And every dominant  champ got the rematch, or another title shot. Tony Derseve the title shot or the Gaeche rematch, Chandler not even Bellator champ so he probley not even top 15 at lightweight in my oppion now and is a waste of time for Khabib

i never said it did. ive never called khabib the goat. i think its a stupid idea to think anyone is the goat. no way to prove or disprove it. its a nonsensical argument imo.

1) everyone please keep the politics out of this thread

2) free do not get out of control or we will have to suspend your account. 

3) calling Khabib the Muslim this or the Muslim that is generally not acceptable, unless you have a good reason to be *thoughtfully* talking about it.

Ufc smacks Tony and the entire lightweight division in the face by putting Chandler as alternate for the main event. Too bad fighters are all dumb as **** cause I'd love to see all ufc fighters go on strike. **** Dana "Hitler" White

Nurmagomedov vs. Gaethje
Justin Gaethje, TKO, R3
Gaethje won’t be easy to take down, and he can survive Khabib’s ground and pound. Can Khabib survive Gaethje ‘s power ? I don’t think so.

Ankalaev vs. Cutelaba II
Ion Cutelaba, TKO, R2
Cutelaba is so mad when he fights, he might Knock himself out before Ankalaev.

Zaleski vs. Rakhmonov
Elizeu Zaleski, DEC
I thought Zaleski won against Salikhov, but he was a little gun shy. No disrespect to Shavkat, but I've never heard of him. Maybe it's to much of a step down for Zaleski, who is kind of a fan favorite, and has a decent UFC record.
