Khamzat and Islam can't get a fight.

They will be favored over everyone in the division, but still need to "earn" titleshot. Something has to be done with the top 5 gatekeeping. Let them skip the line.
 
Sure fire sign that the UFC is dying, that Dana hates Muslims, and that TS is a hyperbolic cry baby.
 
I agree with TS. It is ridiculous. They were untouched in their respective fights. They don't need another 3 month camp.
No one wants to see Kyle Daukas. Get him out of there and let Khamzat smesh Kevin Holland on Saturday.
Thiago Moises just lost to Islam and he is fighting Saturday! What is taking so long, Dana???
 
Islam was set it up to main event with RDA before both these guys but then pulled out

True but RDA didn't get his top 10 rank (at LW) till after he beat replacement Felder.

If RDA and Islam 1 didn't fall through, I doubt Islam would have moved up the rankings much with a win over RDA

With Islam I think they held him back to prevent him from taking out other LW contenders while Khabib was still champ, because they knew he wouldn't fight Khabib and maybe even feared that promoting Islam would speed up cash-cow Khabib's retirement. (It was no secret than Abdulmamap wanted Khabib to pass the torch to Islam)

Once Khabib retired they started giving Islam the respect he deserves.

They didn’t hold him back he sat out for over a year
