a) GSP
b) Conor Mcgregor
c) Tony Fergoson
d)Usman
e) Other
Im personally leaning Usman because
1. It make me care because going up a division will make Khabib seem beatable so I can finally root for him
2.He can become Champ Champ for legacy even tho who care about champ champ
3. He should beat him because Khabib is a better fight because Khabib Mauls and Usman stall for a simple breakdown off that fights
4. Usman will no longer be champ :)

Because that would be GSP's last fight too.

Conor McGregor - Does anyone really want to see this fight?
Tony Ferguson - This would be cool but I'm not hopeful
Kamaru Usman - It would be interesting but I can't see this one happening either
My choice - Islam Makhachev
I could still see Khabib winning this fairly easily but it would be an interesting test for Makhachev.

I don't think Islam Makhachev would fight Khabib, because they're teammates at AKA and they're friends.

That's a good point but at the same time seeing as it would be Khabib's last fight he might find it fitting to end by fighting a good friend and fellow Russian in a competitive yet at the same time, sorta exhibition bout. His title would be on the line for sure but he'd win fairly easily and probably would be able to have a bit of fun fighting a friend while doing so. Plus it would be a good learning experience for Makhachev as I'm sure they've fought countless times in training but training and competitive fights are very different ball games and regardless of the result, I'm sure Makhachev would be able to take something away from it so Khabib would also end his career helping a teammate as well.
I'd see this as a win-win situation for both fighters.

Poirier is a whole different beast now though from when they first fought, so it's not a give in that he'll even get past him to set up the Khabib fight.
