Tukhugov will stay. We won't hear anything about it for a while, then he'll randomly show up on the prelims of a fight night in 6 months. 

Same as with Artem. He made it into the ufc because of Conor. And everyone thought Artem was done after the bus incident, but then he's in a co-main event all of a sudden.

Situation here is a little different, and Khabib doesn't have the power Conor does, but the Ufc isn't going to risk losing Khabib over some random dude. Only way is if Conor stood up in the opposite, but I doubt he will

Khabib is threatening to quit the ufc if his teammates are released. Lets see how that plays out.

Khabib apparently thinks he has Conors drawing power now. Will be an interesting battle... Dana usually caves after a while but it really will be interesting.

If Conor was able to step in to fight Nate it would be awesome. He would do it too, no doubts. Love or hate the guy, dude is the definition of fighting anyone on any notice. He doesnt give a f***. 

khabib isnt conor, it will be interesting to see how this plays out. dont think he has the pull to demand guys being on the roster.

I think you're underestimating his drawing power at this point. 2.5 million people just watched him beat up the most polarizing fighter in the sport, and Russia is a big untapped market for the UFC, and they just made their first foray into Russia. If anything, they should do a rematch in Moscow and if Conor (somehow) wins, a rematch in Dublin. The further removed we are from this controversy, the better it is for the UFC. Love or hate what happened, there's no such thing as bad publicity for an entertainment company.

Or he honestly doesnt care. He can stop foghting now and be fine. He can go to some bullcrap russia underground mma and make just as much. He doesnt need to be in the ufc and if his morals tell him bot to fight in the ufc i doubt he fights in the ufc.

You say that but a rematch in Russia and a trilogy in Ireland means people will literally die in the stands Lol It will be total anarchy
