VID Ray Longo laughs at Conor McGregor for calling out Khabib

The UFC lightweight division is very interesting right now.
I think Fergy would've beat Khabib at the times they were scheduled.
Now, especially after these last 2 performances of Fergy/Lee & Khabib/Barboza, it's Khabib looking like the killer, and really living up to his hype.
With his striking coming along and toughness, and if the Tony that fought Kevin Lee shows up(overtrained imo), there's no doubt Fergy gets beat up in an interesting fight.
>If the Ferguson that fought Barboza shows up, I'd give it to him.
Interesting that the best performances from both these guys came when facing Barboza, which imo is a testament to the challenge he poses.
I think Conor loses to all 3, but him & Barboza would be by far the most interesting.

Because he got his ass handed to him
I've posted about this before. Eddie's only option is Poirier or fight a lower ranked guy in a move that directly contradicts his stated reasons for not wanting to fight Poirier. It does seem weird that a top 3 ballsiest fighter in the UFC might duck a guy. But life is weird, and that appears to be exactly what is happening.
I think Lee v Gaethje makes more sense if they both get a win over someone else first - they are both coming off stoppage losses after all. Gives the winner a lot more momentum and doesn't hurt the loser as much. Plenty of guys at 155 for them to fight.
