Tony out Max in for the LW Belt

source

Just when we thought the Tony vs Khabib course has almost passed an urgent announcement in New York has been made on Saturday because of injury. It’s the fourth time a fight between the pair has fallen apart. Dana, the head honcho of the UFC has announced that El Cucui tore a ligament in his knee and will be needing surgery. The knee injury was actually so dire that the muscles was totally separated from the bone and that an operation is imminent. It has not been formally announced yet but it looks like Tony will be stripped off of his Interim Championship belt and with that his bargaining chip for a bigger payday.

Add to the shock we are already in Featherweight champ "The Blessed" has come to save the day, giving him the chance to make history along Conor McGregor and a few others to two belts at the same time and potentially even outshining "The Notorious" as Max has actually unified and defended the Featherweight belt unlike McGregor but all this is still a speculation as he has yet to defeat Khabib and that is a very tough task to ask on a weeks notice.

The Tony vs Khabib fight was initiallysupposed to crown the new Lightweight kingpin and that as soon as the two steps into the steel cage it will be for the undisputed belt. But now that Ferguson will no longer be able to fight for the title as this injury has now forced him to withdraw from the fight. With the featherweight champ stepping in in to replace Ferguson, who has suffered from a torn knee. Khabib took to Instagram his feelings towards this event, and he didn't mince his words saying “Hope, this lesson will teach you watch your mouth.”

I te wa i whakaaro ai matou ko te akoranga a Tony vs Khabib kua tata te haere ki te korero urupare i New York i te Rāhoroi no te whara. Ko te wha o nga wa kua hinga te whawhai i waenga i te tokorua. Ko Dana, ko te tumuaki o te UFC kua whakapuaki ko El Cucui te werohanga o te mokete i roto i tona turi, me te hiahia kia pangia. Ko te mate kino o te pokohiwi i tino tika te wehenga o nga uaua i te wheua, me te mea he tata te mahi. Kaore ano i te whakaatuhia i mua, engari ko te ahua o Tony ka pekehia atu i tana whitiki Takawaenga Whaimana, me tana kirimana mo te ra nui ake.

Tāpirihia ki te awangawanga kei a matou i roto i te taitara Pakuhi "Ko te Whakapai" kua tae mai ki te whakaora i te ra, ka hoatu ki a ia te whai waahi ki te tuhi i te hītori ki a Conor McGregor me etahi atu ki nga whitiki e rua i te wa ano, me te mea kaore ano te "The Notorious" ka rite tonu a Max ki te whakakotahi me te awhina i te whitiki Tauruhi kaore i rite ki a McGregor engari ko tenei katoa he wawata ano kei te kaha tonu ia ki te tukino i a Khabib, he mahi tino uaua ki te uiui i nga wiki.

Ko te whawhai a Tony vs Khabib i te tuatahi ko te karauna o te taapenga hou o te maramarama, a, i nga waahanga e rua i roto i te paara maitai, ka waiho hei whitiki. Engari inaianei ka kore e taea e Ferguson te whawhai mo te taitara, na te mea kua tukino ia i tenei wa ki te tahuri atu i te pakanga. I roto i te ahua o te taumahamaha e uru mai ana ki te whakakapi i a Ferguson, kua mate nei i te kopu kua pakaru. I tangohia e Khabib ki a Instagram ona aro ki tenei kaupapa, a, kaore ia i whakamutu i ana kupu e mea ana, "Tumanako, ma tenei akoranga e ako ki a koe kia mataara tou mangai."
