stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
how illegitimate does a challenger for khabib have to be before they promote the tiny women's fight to the main event? tony pettis? paul felder? the japanese cup o noodle mascot?

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

"Al Iaquinta actively campaigning for the Khabib fight"

eh

"I'm relevant! I'm relevant!" Al Iaquinta shouts as he slowly transforms into a cornnut, corn to the core.

I do like how Khabib fighting the #12 or lower contender will still be for the lightweight title after all this nonsense, we really are boxing!

Pettis is pretty injury prone so I wouldn't be surprised if he found a way to injury himself before the fight.

The curse of Khabib vs Tony is too strong. Never book this fight ever again.

No.

and if so, ufc really needs to consider making this card free. Joanna vs rose 2 is cool but would be the only worthwhile fight for a $65 ppv? There’s no way. Even Mighty Mouse wouldn’t ask for that

Crazy realizing Al Iaquinta has a better argument for fighting Khabib than Pretty Tony as he is ranked #12 and Tony is #13.

yea hilarious contexts aside nice to see they weren't just blowing smoke about the new rules at least.

This is by far the funniest way to test that, though.
