Stupid matchmaking at its finest.
Great job, Joe Silva.
People complaining about this need to realize that Alvarez more than likely solidified his title shot by beating Pettis and Melendez and stated he'd rather wait. In the meantime, if Ferguson wins he's more than likely the next guy after Alvarez. This also might speak to how the UFC views Khabib. On paper, this is also a good fight.
That's not true at all. Kevin Iole reported the Ufc was set to give Ferguson the next title fight if Connor held out for more money
