Is there like a fight that you really want? Is there a fight that you, does it
change day to day, week to week?
Like a month ago, if I'd have asked you, was it a different person than today?
So a month ago, if you would have asked me, I would have said, you know, it's
Tony Ferguson.
But then after Habib was talking about retiring and then Justin Gaethje was
talking about fighting within six to eight weeks.
And then also Connor and Poirier were talking about fighting at 170.
Dana White has made it very clear if those guys are fighting at 170, they're
not going to be, you know, they obviously aren't going to be getting a title
shot, you know, anytime soon.
As soon as Habib retired, you know, I was like, hey, man, I'll fight Justin Gaethje
next week for the title six weeks from now, November, December.
Fuck, I'll fight him at the breakfast buffet in the morning.
Yeah, I'll fight him next morning before the plane takes off, you know, like,
let's just keep the octagon set up.
Let's go.
You know, so.
So that was then.
And so at that point, you're like, yeah, so Khabib's retired, that kind of
changed things.
It changed things.
And I said, hey, I'll fight, I'll fight Dustin or I'll fight Tony or Gaethje
for, you know, whether it's a number one contender spot or whether it's for the
title.
Because you had Connor and Poirier talking about fighting at 170, so they were
almost out of the discussion.
Still, right now, you have Connor and Poirier, looks like it's almost done.
It looks like they're going to be fighting at 155, so those two are booked.
Yeah, Gaethje who just fought, so chances are he might want a little bit of
time off.
So I think Tony Ferguson.
I say Tony Ferguson for two reasons.
Number one, he makes the most sense because he's been the guy who sat out the
longest.
And secondly, if I do think Khabib is coming back, I would say he's beaten
Connor, Khabib has beaten Connor, he's beaten Poirier, he's beaten Gaethje now.
And the only fight left out there for him was the Ferguson fight.
But if I beat Ferguson, I leapfrogged Ferguson, and now you get Chandler Khabib
for his 30-0 fight or 29-1 fight instead of Tony Ferguson.
So that kind of gives me the best option to win, leapfrog him, fight a top five
guy, and be the most appealing matchup, the most challenging matchup for Khabib
Ramagomedov.
Wow.
Was it disappointing when, and have you talked to Tony about it?
You guys had some exchange about it, right?
We had an exchange a little bit.
And then even he commented on one of my Instagram posts, like, train hard, see
you soon, you know, CSO.
He's such a unique guy.
He's such like a, yeah, he's such an anomaly.
He's an anomaly.
He's a unique guy.
You don't know what he's going to say, and then you also don't know what he's
going to do inside the cage.
You know, so it's wild, and it's just like, I think it's a perfect, it's a
fight that scares me, you know?
So it's a fight that's great.
You know, it's great for me.
It's a great introduction for me.
So he's a top five guy.
He's a scary guy.
He was 12-0 before, or he was on a 12-fight win streak before he lost his last
fight.
We can't forget that.
Like, he's still one of the most dangerous guys in the division.
Definitely the most unpredictable guy in the division.
And how quickly that gets forgotten after the Gaethje fight.
So quick.
Isn't it crazy?
I mean, how quickly, suddenly he's like, he seems, like, there's this, you know,
yeah, he's not the same guy.
Exactly.
And granted, he took a lot of damage in that fight, but still, man, like, we
all take damage, you know?
We all, win or lose, we take damage, you know?
So it's just, it is a very much, and that's the hardest thing about it, but I
think it's also the most beautiful thing about it because some of the fans do
realize what us fighters have to go through.
Like, that our head is on the chopping block essentially every single time we
fight, where it's like, man, it's a what have you done for me lately business.
But going back to, like, you were talking about Poirier, it's like, it's cool
to see his, he's become a hero, win or lose.
He's been one of those guys who are going to come in.
If he wins, people love him.
If he loses, people are rooting for him, wanting to pick himself back up and
get back in the win column.
And I looked at myself that kind of same way.
I'm going to come into the UFC.
No matter what, I might have, you know, five fights left in me, 12 fights left
in me.
But either way, there's a bunch of big fights out there for me to just have a
blast, to be put on this, you know, awesome platform.
Who knows, I could go 500 the next six fights, I could go 8-0 my next eight
fights, I could win the title and hold it for 10 years, I don't know.
You know, so we'll see.
Good evening, good afternoon, and other times.
