Or khabib vs Holloway
Dustin vs Barbosa
Conor vs Tony

Either way I see khabib coming out on top regardless the fight but definitely has his hands full with Tony and only Tony.

Conor may be the weakest link of the 6 at lightweight but could still catch Dustin and possibly Barbosa if he chooses to box.

Unfortunately it's an inevitability. Too much money on the table for all concerned to worry about fairness. If the UFC weren't cunts, they could at least compensate Ferguson and Dustin by paying them a shitload beyond their current contracts to fight each other.

Conor probably figures there are two big fights left for him - Khabib and Nate. The Nate fight is there no matter what happens, but he could wreck the Khabib fight if he fights someone else first. I doubt he has more than two fights left, so he probably figures he needs to maximize his earnings.

Conor vs Tony would be tremendous.

not sure Conor has it in him to face Khabib again, especially after all the money he made and the brutal beatdown.

Fire's been long gone...

just Nate Trilogy and retire

to be fair, with nate it made sense to rematch, still risky, but it was possible to imagine a different outcome.

thinking that a rematch with khabib would be excessively different is not a bet that many would take.

no need to purposefully drive conor's stardom into the dirt. nate might still do that but the chances make it a worthwhile fun fight imo
