Did you hear about that offer Khabib got from 50 cent? They're offering him money to leave UFC and go to Bellator and it could work because his teammate got kicked out for jumping into the ring and attacking Conor and will now miss an upcoming fight. People are pointing out that Conor didn't get kicked out for his recent bus attack.
There's bigger money in Bellator right now. 50 cent is going to pay additional 1 million USD to whoever gets the belt.

So Khabib is challenging Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match. Who said Khabib doesn't want money? Lololol. I'm actually more interested in something like GSP vs Khabib happening than a boxing match with Mayweather.
Mayweather ain't losing no boxing match. But that's the real money fight. Khabib could retire after that not need the UFC anymore...

There is no need for a rematch- the result would be the same or even worse
~snip
He cannot decide for a rematch, the public already know it's a convincing win by Khabib, he needs to move on, look for a fighter that he has a chance
of winning so he will be back in the winning path again, that is when the excitement will come and maybe people will again pushing a rematch
against Khabib. In the end, it's just a speculation because lots of unpredictable things happen in the world of sports, because money talks afterall.
Maybe he will get up and fight like how he did when he become a great name in the UFC. They have gotten a lot of supporters with the different commotions before and after the fight so it would be a great impact again when they have Their rematch. I don’t know but it seems that he is just doing it now for the money specially when it was the the Conor vs Floyd fight.

Now that you mention money talks, it is always happen like that.
The problem with this sports personalities is that once they tasted this kind of money, they went on a spending spree. I just watch YT of Conor's "fleet" alone and the mansion in his hometown and Vegas. Sooner or later he will need more money just to maintain everything so I have no doubt that we will make a comeback.
Whether a rematch or another big fight is looming. He's probably partying because he know's he got another huge paycheck but it won't last if he continue this lifestyle.
It'd be hilarious if McGregor picks Tony Ferguson for his 'tune up' fight. 
But it's the only fight that makes sense for him if we're talking about the business side of it... And to redeem himself and get himself back on track.
Anyway watch this. His vids are good.

Yup... It's mostly for entertainment. And it's obvious if you look at how his vids are made. He doesn't wanna be taken seriously I don't think.
Thing is, McGregor got owned. OWNED.

Conor seems to be back on instagram not too bothered about to the fight. He was partying with celebrities again, Migos and other rapers, and he's also seen with Jerry Jones in the Cowboys games. Win draw or lose Conor is going to continue being a massive name in sports and entertainment.
I think even if it doesn't seem to bother him much, he really hates that he lost and he will be back into the gym soon motivated for the rematch, perhaps not making it public to make them think he is just partying. I saw good things in the fight, he was able to counter some of the elite grappling by Khabib, the big problem again is that his gas tank got emptied.
Big technical mistake too with that right overhead hand landing on Conor. Looks like Khabib tricked him into pretending a takedown and threw that right instead.
A lot of haters or deluded Khabib fans now think Khabib is a better striker than Conor because of that.
I think there will be a rematch and it will be better than many are assuming. I just hope that Khabib doesn't leave the UFC as per latest news. To me it will just look like him dodging the Tony fight.

A very nice video. The author seems to be a fan of Conor more than Khabib, but I have to say that they were equally rude to each other. I like good sportsmanship but it's not required. That punch in the balls by Khabib though...
I'm astounded that Conor's knee did not leave a cut or anything. It was a pretty hard hit in the face. Conor vs Tony is going to be a blast if it happens. They both are very aggressive and cocky fighters.

The trouble with keeping up in these kinds of sports is that you need to keep going full on speed while you have it because after a certain age it becomes much much harder than most other sports. If you are a soccer star and you want to continue playing you can play in the second or third even fourth divisions up until you are 45-50 years old, you won't be near as good as you were of course but you can definitely still get playing time.
If you are a basketball player you can go to Europe and not so many great teams would be open to welcome you when you are over your 40's. However, if you leave 2 years of training behind and try to do a comeback to ufc, you will be beat down insanely.

A tune up fight for Conor would be the best thing he can do. The trouble he had was he did not fought in the cage for over 2 years and than went on fighting the undefeated champion, that is never smart, the fact that dude stand there for 4 rounds is still remarkable if you ask me.
If you give Connor a full on year and make the fight at December 30 of 2019 and give him a fight at around early summer as well and tell him to train for over a year with a fight in between, Conor could take on Khabib and win insanely easily. This Connor that took Khabib to four rounds was the one that didn't fought for 2 years and did coke and partied and so forth, if he keeps head low and just practices there is literally no one that could stop him.

It might not be smart in terms of chances of winning, but it's smart in business terms. Winning is just a bonus when there's millions of dollars on the line just for stepping into the ring. Connor made a million more than Khabib from the purse even though he lost so there's no losers here. Conor probably made much much more from additional sponsors and got to promote his whisky for free. There's not much money in a 'tune up' fight and nobody wants to see him fight bums or people he's easily going to beat. Connor hasn't just been sat on his arse since his last MMA fight and he's been doing a lot of training in between, but giving him a year to prepare to fight Khabib again likely won't make much difference. Khabib will also have the same amount of time to improve.
^ It feels like a rematch between those two would be a tad too early imo. I'd like to see McGregor redeem himself vs Tony Ferguson which could be a better match up from him stylistically.
Maybe even make McGregor vs Diaz and Khabib vs Ferguson in one card. That would be yuuuuuge! :0

They will try to make people hungry and build it up slowly. Also, they will have to await penalties for Khabib. I think it would be best for both of them to take a break from this drama and fight different opponents. McGregor vs Diaz would be boring. They fought twice already and it's very rare for the managers to put the same fighters against each other every year. Also Diaz has an upcoming fight. My bet is that Khabib gets a suspension and won't be able to fight Tony and they'll put him up against Conor.
It's not that. As a fan, I don't think I'm interested in seeing a rematch atm. McGregor got owned... Not just owned but OWNED. It's not like the match was going back and forth and ended up with us wanting more.
And yeah, Ferguson vs McGregor would be the nuts.
I saw the fight on TV, and it was a good one. But I am definitely not very pleased with what happened outside the ring before the fight and after the event. UFC may be aiming for additional publicity for their events, but this is definitely not the right way to do things. There are a lot of other methods to get public attention.

I guess he already knew that he stand no chance against Khabib, the money thing makes him do it.

We saw the fight and he was clearly dominated by the Champ, this trash talking make the champion to be more aggressive and beat him with a KO.

Who do you think should he fight as a tune up match? He had already made some drama leading to the Khabib fight by attacking the bus. So it makes sense for Dana to let Conor vs Khabib because of so much hype?

Perhaps Conor who already tasted big money when he fought Mayweather wanted more as he taste the good life because of the huge money he got. So he doesn't want to go to tune up fights anymore and go directly to where the money is, against Khabib.

Yes, I wanted to see Conor vs Tony. Tony even claimed that he already sign the dotted line to fight Conor but Conor didn't. Its going to be a tough fight for Conor as Tony is very unpredictable and also has a lethal submission game.
