Apparently in his contract. Not sure how that works, but would make 301 a real ppv card

Who would he face?

Who would he face?

That's a quick turnaround. This would be assuming he wins quickly and takes minimal damage.

If he can do both 300 and 301, his new nickname should be Alex "2020 Khamzat" Pereira

That should mean that Ankalaev is possibly already informed and training to prepare for the bout. Damn it would make for an epic start to 2024 for Pereira.

While I admire his confidence this just sounds like a recipe for disaster if he manages to get in that position, tbh.

He’s turning 37 this year, and while Khamzat could do it fighting way lower levels of competition I doubt this will end well for him, unless he starches Hill inside 2 minutes or something.

If he does manage to pull it off it would make him even a bigger legend than he already is

What about the Ramadan?

 

[CroCopsLHK]

That's kind of an odd one if you ask me

 

[Psychojoe86]

What about the Ramadan?

End of Ramadan would give Ankalaev 2 months to train for the fight. slightly less. probably too much of a stretch tbh but we'll see

 

[barillas]

I saw he talking about breaking the record for the shortest time between title defenses

 

[Dimbis]

How much weight does he usually cut for 205? Two weight cuts back to back doesn’t sound like the best idea.

 

[ArtardFiesta]

we lost khamzat
but gained pereira, garry, mvp, shavkat and jdm

 

[usernamee]

If it's against Ankalaev it sounds like a bad idea to get a minimal training camp for a wrestler of that caliber

 

[AmonTobin]

If I was Jamahal reading this news, I’d be a little mindfucked, not gonna lie. “He expects to make quick work of me and fight a few weeks later”.

 

[Madmartigains]

If it's against Ankalaev anytime it's a bad idea.

I fixed it for ya.

 

[Simple Southerner]

I get that he loves to fight but ffs lol

 

[Khaosan]

Man knows how to make the most out if his remaining time in the fight game.

 

[kuf]

Has planning beyond an upcoming fight ever worked out well for a defending champion?
It's like they put too much on their plate and are subsequently blindsided by a laser-focused contender.

My first thought was, if anything, a one off non-title fight at HW

 

[KOPPE]

That's kind of an odd one if you ask me

maybe he wants to clear his contract faster

 

[usernamee]

Btw, why are they so desperate to stack the 301 card? This fight along with calling Aldo out of bed. It'll fill up since it's Brazil anyways and we've gotten used to subpar PPV's the last couple of years anyways so a mediocre card wouldn't really be a shock..

 

[GordonMMARamsey]

maybe he wants to clear his contract faster

Didn't he just re-up for like 8 more fights?

Edit: Yeah last month he said he just signed a 8 fight extension.
