It wasn’t intentional of course. It was the week of the fight though and Khabib fought after making weight. If Ferguson’s fluke injury don’t happen they would have already fought. Can’t say a guy ducked someone under those circumstances.
But I wasn't referring to those circumstances.
Think about this:
Even though Khabib didn’t make weight, he still could have saved the card and fought EC; he just would have had to given up a small percentage of his purse and if he won the fight, he wouldn’t have won the title.
Instead of saving the card, he checks himself into the hospital.
Do you know how many times Khabib has been hospitalized trying to make weight? Once.
It just so happens to occur right before the biggest fight and payday of his life, for a title shot , while headlining a PPV Event for the first time ever?
Either Khabib was the unluckiest motherfucker walking the face of the Earth or he ducked EC. It’s one of the two. How could he not make weight for the max motivated fight of his life?
I am not saying Khabib can't beat EC, he most certainly can but I don't think he will but that is beside the point, he didn't want it that round, for whatever reason.
