Tony Ferguson out of the Khabib Nurmagomedov fight. Max Halloway to replace Tony

**Kermit** · 04-01-18, 06:48 PM

If Max wins, the long awaited rematch with Conor will probably happen.

Man, he is going to be a lot smaller than Kabib on fight night.

**Fire in da hole** · 04-01-18, 06:52 PM

Wow, did this just happen?

**Fire in da hole** · 04-01-18, 06:53 PM

Surprised Max too the fight on such short notice

**Mackballs** · 04-01-18, 06:54 PM

Good one

I guess someone had to save it. McNuggets sure had no intentions of doing so.

Doesn't seem like it.

The crazy thing is that Max Holloway was just injured and had to pull out of the last PPV which was only a month ago. I could have swore that he claimed he needed surgery.

I was thinking the same thing, wtf could he have had?

**Kermit** · 04-01-18, 07:06 PM

Dana White said Conor isn't fighting because he can't make the weight in 6 days.

**thedenthead** · 04-01-18, 07:08 PM

Damn... really wish this was a an April fools joke.

**Kermit** · 04-01-18, 07:12 PM

I would rather see Brian Ortega fight Kabib than Max. Ortega is already pretty big for his division. Plus if Max is really injured as reported, then what is the point?

**badgerguy** · 04-01-18, 07:24 PM

Well f that. That sucks.

**Mackballs** · 04-01-18, 07:35 PM

Love max but he probably gets eaten in this one. He's such a tough fuckk tho.

**Sanity Check** · 04-01-18, 08:56 PM

Its almost like...

Tony Ferguson AND Khabib have a competition to see how can injure themselves in a more stupid fashion.

Khabib was taken out by a teramisu cake the last time they were scheduled to fight.

Now Tony Ferguson gets taken out by a tv set.

This is ridiculous.

**freeVICK** · 04-01-18, 09:54 PM

Love him or hate him. Gotta respect max for stepping up like this

**PAULYPOKER** · 04-01-18, 11:11 PM

The show must go on as Dana will throw any fighter to the dogs on short notice..........

Except for Conor, Dana's top earner..

It's all about the Benjamin's baby........

**Kermit** · 04-01-18, 11:49 PM

Reports are coming out that Tony "tripped" after doing some press shit and tore something in his knee. For a guy that trains very intensely, it's crazy that he fukked his knee up badly just by tripping. So ironic that all of the recent shit Tony was talking abut Kabib costing him 100's of thousands of dollars in the past because things happening that prevented Kabib from fighting, and now Tony has a freak knee injury.

This is the dumbest shit since Brian Griese tripped over his dog and hurt his ankle.

So the real question is, if Kabib wins, does she get Tony's interim belt, another interim belt, or the actual belt that Conor has?

And if Kabib doesn't make weight, then what?

LOL

I was waiting for him to say that once het started talking...damn.

Only Ariel Helwani can get IT out of him.

**Plaza23** · 04-02-18, 12:55 AM

This is another lesson in "don't buy a PPV until a few hours before it starts". Wonder if the people who bought this in advance will get a refund?

Does anyone actually hate Max? Besides being one of the ugliest dudes around, he's awesome.

I think Khabib is going to be able to ragdoll him though.

Yeah. I remember Conor taking Max down, and Conor had a bad leg.

I am expecting the Kabib/Max fight to look like this.

**JIBBBY** · 04-02-18, 11:43 AM

That sucks!!!!!

..

I was really looking forward to that fight...

Conor is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for the UFC.. That guy is a money machine, Dana knows it.. He will and should do anything to keep Conor on board to keep hope alive...

**reigle9** · 04-02-18, 11:56 AM

i called holloway's stardom in the poirier loss

don't watch mma anymore, but my mma sharps seem to think he's going to get smoked

**Mackballs** · 04-02-18, 12:01 PM

Max gonna piece him up on the feet

Until it's not on the feet anymore...then...well....

**MMANick** · 04-02-18, 12:01 PM

Conor is a fukkin clown and always has been.

**JIBBBY** · 04-02-18, 12:06 PM

Max Holloway will get man handled and put on his back in this fight.. Coming in on short notice Max is in trouble I think..

Max's only chance is to survive the early rounds and hope Khabib begins to gas out then land something big on the chin standing.. Blessed does have 3 ko wins in round 3 in his last 3 fights.. http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Max-Holloway-38671

**Kermit** · 04-02-18, 12:20 PM

My biggest problem with Max right now is this injury that he had and was supposed to get surgery on.

**PaperTrail07** · 04-02-18, 12:23 PM

Lets be real...this is not the best of Max we will see......he took the fight bc he saved the card and got paid....the L is expected..a freeroll for him....but DAMN....he is scrappy but I actually see this getting finished by RNC....he will scramble and get caught in a bad position...

why? He has absolutely nothing to lose(other than his win streak). If he wins, he has 2 titles and his stock goes up a few more notches. If he loses, he took fight on short notice in a higher weight class and he is still the 145lb champ and it doesn't really hurt him much at all(other than the pounding Khabib is going to put on him)!

No brainer for Max here.

**JIBBBY** · 04-02-18, 12:31 PM

Max looks like the kind of lean fighter that stays in shape, I've never seen him gas in any fights.. Still he's been out of the cage for 4 months now.. If he was nursing some kind of injury then that's a problem as well..

Khabib is gonna be a lean mean wrestling machine going into this fight..
