cant wait!!! that fight will answer some question about khabib. I remember 2 years ago when there was this wave of fighters with names ending in agatinov and everyone thought there was going to be this Russian/Belorussian invasion seems like this dude is the only one getting pub these days, wonder what happened? :why:

The Dagestani fighters? Ali B just fought for the title, Khabib is a fight away from the title, Khabilov is a top 15 WW, and Khalidov is a top 10-12 MW (fights outside the UFC)

By way of of the division not having any contenders not because he eaned it.Johnson embarassed him too

Khabib is a fight away from the title,
Just for beating cerrone? :gladbron:

It just seemed like there were more fighters who were legit monsters but now it just seems like hype (sprinkled with a lot of wishful thinking)

What do you mean? The ones I mentioned are solid fighters. They've done very well when you consider the fact that the Dagestani people make up around (just) 2% of Russia's population.

Khabib is undefeated in MMA, 6-0 in the UFC (with wins over dos Anjos, Tibau, etc.) and with a win over Cerrone would be more than deserving of a title shot. If he beats Cerrone, who would be more deserving of title shot than Khabib?
