Holloway deemed unfit to get on the scale for ufc 223. Everyone is scrambling. What to do, let's just book a 4-hour award ceremony and present Khabib with the belt.

I never heard it even being discussed apart from by Brian himself, it may seem to management like a waste to throw a young guy's undefeated streak under the bus on short notice even if he'd have a chance. Max would have still been champ even if he lost. Raging Al has literally said on camera he "wouldn't wanna fight that fuckin guy" after Khabib fought Barboza, but he is ranked, medically clear, on weight(at least enough to step in) and he is... expendable.. *evil dana mastermind*

Yeah but I wanted some form of a super fight to make up for Ferguson pulling out. Laquinta won't even be a fight, he'll just get embarrassed Khabib could make the fight as long or as short as he wanted. He could toy with him if he wanted to.
Also yeah I only heard Ortega himself a few weeks ago talking about how he would be a good match up against Khabib, but other than that yeah I think you're right nothing from his management or anything since Hallaway had to pull out. Sucks man probably gonna just get some scrub getting fed to a lion rather than an awesome super fight.

Ohhh yeah Khabib will forward him the whole "give up - you know I must be champion" speech while on top of him smashing him into jelly. Imagine though if Al just.. gets him, and changes everything! Nah, but hey the buildup of more and more disappointments makes me wish for something unexpected!
