Media Izzy says that if Khamzat smokes Costa he will take the Chimaev fight before DDP - True champ

[Tyrannosaurus rex]

DDP is a bum in comparison to Khamzat.. DDP got absolutely tooled by an ancient Brunson. The drunken kung fu stylist is a lesser limited fighter

And yet he's got a far better resume at MW than Khamzat would have, even if he runs through Costa. That should count. Title shots should be given to those who've earned them, not based on speculation who is better.

He made a 40 year old Derek Brunson look like prime Jon Jones vs Stephan Bonnar. He gets hurt in all of his fights and he powers on in drunken kung fu style but that only works on low level competition or stylistically favorable match-ups. Brunson dominated him as if he was prime Jon Jones. Dricus is a certified bum and gets himself finished within a round against anyone with low level sub threat.



Wittaker is a much smaller fighter and stylistically good match-up for dricus he doesn't have anything to offensively threaten dricus with aside from jumping back and forth in order to find an opening to land big shoots. Whittaker is also likely washed at this point he has been thru to many wars. That brunson fight was just 12 weeks before the Whittaker. He has significiant loopholes

Lol, you gotta be trolling at this point. DDP still beat Brunson, that's still a ranked win and should count.

Also ridiculous that you make the assumption that Whittaker is probably washed, but somehow Costa should be a win worthy of a title shot? Costa, who got humiliated and molested by Izzy? Who only has one top level win in his career? Who's only win in the last 4 years is a washed up Rockhold? What indication is there that Costa is still good?

Brunson is a 50 year old gatekeeper and Costa former title contender I rest my case there

Okay, now compare Whittaker and Costa?

One is a former title champ with an excellent resume with multiple high ranked wins. Including a recent victory over Marvin Vettori, who beat Costa.

One is a former title contender who has one relevant win in his entire career, a split decision over Romero 4 years ago. Since then, he's done nothing relevant in the division.

Whittaker>>>Costa.

Khamzat is a much easier fight stylistically for Izzy. His striking is mid despite power and his TDs wont be as easy to get at 185. Sus cardio as well.

Izzy and his team are terrified of Dricus Im actually shocked. They were only keen on making him fight short notice quick turnaround after Rob knowing he had an injury he needed surgery for.

This is why you shouldn't smoke crack.
