Okamoto on Leon Masvidal called off

Leon must be PISSED, from fighting someone like Masvidal (lol) to Khamzat just like that

I believe that leon would only get a title shot if he beat masvidal and now that he's not fighting masvidal, I assume that the deal was that he needs a win.
Besides if you aren't beating the 10th ranked fighter on a month notice, how can you expect to be champion?
Also Dana seems to be really trying to expand in the middle east, with khabib gone, Khamzat seems to be one of the stars he's trying to fast track and money talks.

They'll likely try to force him to take it by saying he has to fight Khamzat or go to the back of the line.

He'd be better off going to the back of the line rather than going to the hospital after fighting Khamzat.
 
They need to probably give Leon at least $500K to take the fight

Ballsy move from Khamzat. He has a month to prepare, but I'm pulling for him hard. Dana better pay the man.

He just had a training camp and won without a scratch, so the timing is good, he is ready and he just have to maintain training 4 more weeks.
The opportunity is just too good to miss, he could be having a title fight early 2022.
 
This is why I’m a big Khamzat fan. He loves the fight, it’s not all about the Instagram post, Trash Talk, etc. We don’t need to hype it all up for months on end.

The division better hope he isn’t what some think he is, he would be scarier at the top than Usman right now. Mostly because he is younger, has a terrifying fight style for most and has a blood lust.

I’m here for violence and Chimaev has delivered so far.

Agreed, one of the scariest men right now and he actually walks the walk in both real life and twitter
 
The top WWs might as well face him now on short notice. He's not going to be getting any less skilled or less prepared for you than he is right now.

It's not a strong division. It doesn't benefit them to wait while he gets better.

How rare for someone with a following to not lose their identity to the masses.

One big reason I’ve never been a Conor fan is because he is a different person depending on the situation. On the opposite end, Khabib is one of my favorites because what you see is what you get, like it or not.

Chimaev is in the same boat. You might not like him, but that won’t change the fact that he would scrap in the octagon or the back alley all the same.
 
Honestly, if Leon is afraid to face #10 with a month to prepare for a title shot, then luque deserves to jump him for it.
