Dana just said Khabib is coming off surgery. Don't know when he'll be good to go again, or even what part he had his surgery on.

Meh fuck them interim belts, if the guy is out longer than a year strip it, and make two guys fight for it.
rinse and repeat, no fucks given who the belt holder is, you can't have two champs walking around it's just silly
Totally agree about those 3 fights, I think those are the ideal matches to make.
But I think Ferguson/Lee sounds like a fun scrap too, so I'm still excited about this matchup.
sexited
Mcgregor said his belt was the real belt when he got the featherweight interim belt. It was something along the lines of he had fought more recently, therefore he was the true champ. It would be funny if the winner of the interim lw belt puts his comments back in his face.
Going to fight zingano in a catweight interm belt?
Justin would have been perfect but UFC going to UFC
Kevin was next best option since khalabib doesn't want to fight
It doesn't make sense. Conor could easily fight in early-mid November, which would only be a month after the Fergu-Lee fight is going to happen.
At this point, Conor won't be defending his belt til late December at the earliest.
Tells me he's either going to retire or be far far less active after this big pay day
I think the UFC is planning on Conor still being concussed in november from the ass whooping Mayweather is going to put on him. He will be under a 6 month suspension, so he won't be ready to defend until next year.
All we can really hope for is good fights for years now.
Lee has done nothing, Fergy has done everything, so it only makes sense to match championship caliber up against a guy that deserves to be fighting a top 10'ish guy.
Hopefully it's interesting; I think many of us are just starving to see El cucuy back in there doing his thing against a good & potentially risky opponent, in a battle of pizzazz.

This. He's had an easier road to the title than Anderson silva
Conor has been talking about a Dec 30 card and wanting to be on it. No surprise that they're going to have to go the interim route to keep the division moving since they already tried it when Tiramisu attacked and when you consider that Conor calls his own shots.
Justin Gaethje doesn't deserve an interim title shot after almost getting KO'd multiple times in his UFC debut lol
I loved that fight, have been repping "The Highlight" for quite a few years now and would love to see this fight, but I just don't think he's quite ready for Ferguson, and I'm usually the guy shitting all over bonehead T-Ferg.
Barboza deserved it more than Kevin Lee though that we definitely agree on, but I don't think Barboza would beat Ferguson. I'm sure Edson will get his chance soon enough, he just needs to avoid getting dropped by jabs, and especially needs to avoid those damn submissions
oh yeah I forgot they've been lined up to coach a women's season of TUF!! presumably they'll fight soon after the shows wrapped up
any chance they will be the main event of the finale? has that even happened before? (the coaches headlining the finale)
Zingano TKO'd 2 future UFC champions, show some fucking respect.
Guarantee it will be the main event. It's a great match, both guys will bang. Who ya got in this one?
Justin Gaethje for sure. Obviously I'm worried Eddie will come roaring back into the fight once he's hurt but I think he'll get murked in the opening round. I reckon he's the better wrestler too and his kicking game means Eddie can't just box off the backfoot, he's gotta find a way to land power and not get wrecked in the exchanges. Dangerous dangerous fight for both guys no doubt.
Yeah I think Justin will overwhelm Eddie with pressure and leg kicks. I look for this one to end violently.
Castillo's a TAM guy though, he gets in HQ grappling all year round. I'm not "high" on Ferguson to be honest, but if he's gonna lose this title fight it will be on the ground and he most likely knows that. 5 rounder, should be good.
I'm still a bit bummed out they didn't schedule the Alvarez-Poirier rematch instead especially considering they've been going at it on social media since their fight. I wanted to see Dustin clean Eddie's clock so bad, never liked the guy.
