I think they “go with it” because Usman is what many (including Dana) consider the Welterweight GOAT.
They are also friend(ly) and like each other enough that they would be willing to step inside the octagon to challenge one another (test their skill set against each other) and make a ton of money while doing so - I mean there’s clips of them two hugging each other talking about a potential fight dating back years ago.
No other name rn at Welterweight holds weight like Usman.
I’m not saying it’s right. Usman hasn’t really been active aside from making Khamzat look normal - which is another intriguing aspect of this fight against Islam.

No legitimate person including Islam considers him the WW GOAT lmao. Dana’s GOAT is whoever he’s promoting at that moment.
Aside from that, your argument is that they’re fighting because they’re friends? That makes it better to you?
Oh and Usman’s name holds more weight (whatever the fuck that means) and he lost to Khamzat a few years ago…
What’s your angle? You must have some kinda bias towards someone involved in this to make such retarded arguments trying to defend it.

- Dana White: The UFC CEO has repeatedly and unequivocally stated that Kamaru Usman is the greatest welterweight ever, arguing that his run through the division and the high level of competition he faced make it "undeniable".
- Ali Abdelaziz: Usman's manager has also publicly declared him the greatest welterweight of all time.
- Gilbert Burns: A top welterweight contender and former opponent of Usman, Burns stated that in his opinion, Usman is already the best due to his dominant style of winning compared to previous champions like Georges St-Pierre.
- Henry Cejudo: The former two-division UFC champion has also been featured in content where Usman is referred to as the GOAT.
- Plenty of fans and media outlets as well. Including this forum.
It’s not an argument. It’s a fact.
They have spoken about it many times and there’s plenty of clips online.
A lot of folks find this matchup intriguing.
It does… he’s been one of the most dominant welterweight champions in recent times. In the GOAT discussion for many critics and fans alike.
There’s no angle. It’s an opinion.

What about when it actually makes sense for the division? ie Cejudo vs Moraes for the vacant BW title, both Ali fighters but the fight was very logical to put together once Dillashaw was out of the picture.

Did you really AI people who have called Usman the GOAT? And it gave you, Dana, Usman's manager, Usman's podcast cohost, and a guy Usman beat lmao. Makes my point.
Again, I'm not denying they are friends and colluded behind the scenes to fight each other, that makes MY point, people who aren't complete and utter idiots usually understand that fighters making fights with each other because they're friends is bad.
So should Khamzat fight Izzy because his "name holds the most weight" or would that not make any fucking sense because Izzy is years out of his prime and has lost a bunch of times?
You have to be a UFC schill, or an Islam schill, or some kind of bias has to be operating because there's no way you're legitimately making these arguments lmao. Why do you think virtually everyone is against this fight? There are legit posters in here who don't even believe it could happen due to the backlash... but you're gonna sit here and tell me this fight makes a ton of sense because Usman is the GOAT and Islam is his friend hahhahah.

UFC is not in the business of making fights we want.
They’ve been making asinine matchups for years now.
As far as that goes, this isn’t that crazy of a matchup. Shavkat hasn’t fought in a while, Morales isn’t worthy yet, Garry has no name or excitement behind him etc… just look at the list.
Kamaru is the biggest star on that list.
There’s no bias, just rational explanations. I don’t give af who Islam fights.

Honestly i'm surprised they were not announced for 326 main event at press conference.
Gives me hope the UFC dont want to give Ali/islam/usman there way and are more interested in a real matchup here. Game of chicken now i guess does the ufc want islam main enough to allow it or does islam want to fight enough to say ok i fight xyz then.

I need someone to ask Waldo if he's black
I wouldn't put it passed this ferengi to give dana a cut from his percentage. It's perfect -Reuse fighter pay back into circulation while the fighters feel like they got what they want and Ali looks like he got it done. At their expense of course. Controlling the masses at their expense is the way of the islamist

More of a reason to break up the Abdelaziz cartel anyway.

That doesn't make any sense.
He's not doing it illegally lol
Fighters are eager to hire him because he delivers results.
I can't hate on excellence... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ali did his little skripper dance after Daner let him double-dip on manager fees.
