Why is everyone comfortable with Khabib vs GSP but not Woodley vs Khabib?

    Shouldn't he move up and fight the champion of welterweight and not some part timer if he fights for glory?
    Khabib said he is turning down millions just to face Ferguson instead of Conor and yet maby of you keep matching him up with Pierre.
    Shouldn't GSP be trying to face Woodley himself instead of chasing the lightweight guys like Khabib and Conor?

    Nobody cares about Woodley, he is holding down a dead division and you are only bringing him up to race bait like usual. Historically Woodley is a pomple on the sports ass compared to GSP.

    Seconded; but what odds are you willing to lay on Dana 'Conor is a superstar and can fight in any division he wants, but GSP has to pick a division' White trying to bulldoze Tony and his legitimate claim as #1 contender to one side in order to make the Khabib vs GSP match or the the Khabib vs Conor rematch?

    If Khabib gets by Tony, I'd personally rather see Woodley vs Khabib at 170 than Khabib vs GSP at 155: I think the former is a far more fascinating matchup than the latter. But maybe that's just me. :lol:

    If he beat Khabib he’d become a world champion at 3 weights which would be an amazing achievement.
    I feel GSP has enough credit to do whatever he likes at this point in his career. He’s the GOAT.

    This! GSP is obviously trying to make history and maybe accomplish something that will never be done again in MMA.


    “B.. Bu.. But Tryrone Woodley doe!!”


    Woodley isn’t the draw Khabib or Connor are and doesn’t have the aura around him. Plus he never tried to avenge this...
