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

Ya I guess 11th was prefight rank. He looked sharp so top 5 should be next then. Eddie or Edson maybeCurrent 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
@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.
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.Khabib or Ferguson. Don't care which one
Yeah I watched it that shit was great.Honestly, the odds are Khabib either gets injured or misses weight again so maybe Ferguson/Lee is the safer fight for the UFC.

Lol yeah, Kevin was like "yeah I know you all have been watching me for a long time"...didn't even acknowledge the thank you. Dude is hilarious.Yeah I watched it that shit was great.
Ferguson finally told Lee "congratulations" at the end and Lee didn't say thank you lol

Band wagoner. Lee doesn't have the chin to last against Ferguson.That will be a sick fight. Think I would take Lee if it happens.
Based on what? Lee been KO once in 18 fights and Tony has almost equal KOs to subs. What did you see to think that Lee has a weak chin?Band wagoner. Lee doesn't have the chin to last against Ferguson.
