Gilbert: "I will fight anyone... I will only fight Leon Edwards or Colby Covington"

[cws80us]

Let's see...Gilbert beat Wonderboy, lost a close decision to Khamzat, then beat Magny and Masvidal. In that same time frame Colby also beat Masvidal in similar fashion, and he gets a title shot.

Hes one of the few willing to fight Khamzat and almost beat him

Right, but nearly beating Hamzat, I kinda expected him to finish Masvidal.

I think what he really meant is "I had fought everyone UFC had given me... But now I will only fight Leon Edwards or Colby Covington"

His last 3 opponents were lower-ranked than him. So i don't see anything wrong with him calling out Colby or Leon.

I don't see anything wrong with it either, but in my opinion he doesn't deserve it over Belal still and if Shavkat wins again he's clearly number 1. Burns should fight one of them.

Colby has 1 good win in his entire career and it was 5 years ago lol.

Why is he getting a title shot?

Why is he getting a title shot?

You know why…

Well, he's ranked #2, so it's an obvious choice. Considering all the weaknesses in his record you listed, why do you think he's getting a title shot?
