Dude is an athletic freak. 5-9" with a 77" reach. Fast as hell, relentless, and a ground game that is advanced far beyond what I remember. And...he's only 24 years old.

He's going to be a problem in that division for a long time.

I like the sound of Lee vs Khabib in Detroit.

I think its pretty safe to say it isnt happening. Ferguson vs Khabib will happen. Kevin Lee is good but he has a ways to go

I think Khabib would be an unnecessarily big step up. I'd rather see Lee against Poirier or loser of MJ vs Justin G

Current LW rankings:
1 Khabib Nurmagomedov
2 Tony Ferguson
3 Eddie Alvarez
4 Edson Barboza
5 Michael Johnson
6 Michael Chiesa
7 Nate Diaz
8 Dustin Poirier
9 Beneil Dariush
10 Al Iaquinta
11 Kevin Lee

La Paix @BirdWatcher - I don't think the winner of Gaethje/Johnson makes sense. Maybe you're right that Khabib doesn't make sense either...likely wont happen anyway because of Khabib/Ferguson. He just beat the #6 guy and wants someone in the Top 5, so maybe Barboza or Alvarez. I dont think Kevin would want a fight with #8 ranked Poirier.

Ya I guess 11th was prefight rank. He looked sharp so top 5 should be next then. Eddie or Edson maybe

Khabib or Ferguson. Don't care which one
Honestly, the odds are Khabib either gets injured or misses weight again so maybe Ferguson/Lee is the safer fight for the UFC. And if you watched the post fight show, Ferguson was guest commentating and him & Lee got seriously heated. The hype for that fight would be a lot of fun.

Yeah I watched it that shit was great.

Ferguson finally told Lee "congratulations" at the end and Lee didn't say thank you lol

Had never heard of him before this, but boy - I was impressed with his perfomance. Too bad Yamasucky had to ruin it. 1 second longer and Chiesa was asleep.

He either stops the fights waaaaay too late, or too early.

There shouldn't be any controversy about that stoppage. He stopped "intelligently defending himself".
