I disagree at bold.
Khabib doesn't have to dictate at what weight the fight should be since he is the one who called GSP at first. When you call someone, you are the one who's supposed to be ready to meet your opposent where he is and not imposed your restrictions.. and fighting at 155 for the belt doesn't make sense because this should be for the ''legacy'' fight and the last of his career according to himself


I can see it either way I guess. You made a couple of good points.

In the end, the UFC will probably drool over the idea of GSP vs Khabib if it goes beyond theory crafting. My guess is that if anything, the UFC would side with Khabib's demands because he's the more active fighter with the bigger future. However, GSP would be a massive draw for one event. I think they'll let Khabib fight his next scheduled defence even if talks get serious.

I dont know what kind of future you are refering to ? Khabib told many times that he wants to fight only two more times and the GSP super fight at the end so he may retire with a record of 30-0 and achieved his father's plan which is to fight Georges for the legacy. Dana with his useless belt system cannot do anything here to change his plan.

The UFC (or at least Dana White) may envision Khabib being convinced to keep going. He's not old. He just needs a challenge. If he fights GSP and loses--does he retire?

obv the plan is to reach 30-0 with GSP as the last legacy fight. If he lose to GSP ending up with 29-1, who knows what he will do.

ya i honestly couldnt give a shit about gsp either

guy is boring as fk to watch. not saying i dont appreciate ground fighting. but literally all he does it jabs u to death to score points, or takes u down and lays on top. doesnt even go for any finishes on the ground.
