April 7th at Barclay's center! Khabib will be the betting favorite but I see this as a true 50/50 fight. Hopefully it's for the full title and not an interim but I guess it does not really matter because privileged Cucknor will get his immediate title shot whenever he feels like gracing everyone with his overrated obnoxious presence. Ferguson has great cardio and a chin on him plus has wicked ground game and can hit subs of his back and latch up wicked chokes from basically any position and off scrambles like lightning. This is a great fight and either guy would kill Cucknor yet the F.U.C pays them cab fare in comparison. I hate privileged, obnoxious ****s in all walks of life regardless of race, color or creed.
Khabib Ferguson Romero Rockhold Miocic Cormier Rousey McMahon Some cracking match ups to look forward to
Best fight in mma for a long long time coming up. I slightly favour Ferg in a 5 rd fight. Very hard fight to pick.
I really hope it's a full championship fight. Khabib is one win away from being an ATG. Cant see him losing for a long time as well.
I’m supremely confident in khabib. If this fight was even money I’m 25 gs confident. Realistically the line will be -300
WOAH???? That seems high for me, I would have set the line at -150. Perhaps Khabib reportedly having far less issues making 155 weight cut contributed to that seemingly wide line.
I was surprised as well, I know eagle has been heavily hyped but he doesn't have a lot of depth to his resume so I thought they'd be more conservative with the odds.
They're resume's are not much different. Khabib in 4-0 while Ferguson is 5-1 vs top 10(Time of fight) opposition. They also have 5 opponents in common with Khabib going 5-0 and Ferguson 4-1. While Khabib did not drop a round in those fights Ferguson dropped several but has two subs and a KO where Khabib won decisions.
Khabib still has to make weight, he was still over by i think it was half a pound in his last fight, but a title fight you don't get any allowance. I wouldn't be suprised if Tony is working on letting Khabib take him down in way Tony can slap on a submission during it, risky if it doesn't work.
