Are Khamzat's Visa issues legit?

[blaseblase]

It doesn't make any sense why the UFC would pass over him for a title shot unless he can't get into Australia. The fans want to see DDP v Khamzat and the UFC always goes with the money fight. Also Dana doesn't like Strickland or fighters who refuse to take fights. It feels like he's making this rematch because he has to.

They will probably have Khamzat sit out and fight the winner in the U.S., where his visa issues will miraculously clear up.

It does make sense. They want to save khamzat for a better card. He probably won't be ready till after Ramadan anyway

 

[VinceArch]

Who knows? It's a nice thought to think that it's all clear and he's ready to fight wherever but since Strickland is next, I don't see him taking another fight and will wait for the winner. So it could very well be by Fall of next year.

He prefers arid, sandy environments.

Are Khamzat's Visa issues legit?

This is why he needs to diversify with a MasterCard or even better, American Express

 

[Iroh]

Khamzat had a trip planned to Aussieland even before he fought Whittaker. People should temper their speculations a bit.

Strickland is still a pretty popular dude and he did the UFC favors, stepping in on short notice & standing and banging with Alex lol, and they already promised him the fight. If the UFC keeps going back on their word, fighters won't be that quick to do them any favors in the future.

I hope they, in the meantime, give Khamzat a fight still. They are really wasting his time and there has already been so much of his time wasted. Izzy would be a good one.

He’s supposed to be in GDay Land right now
But that’s been pushed back to Feb. now by some “unforeseen circumstances”

 

[Cooliox]

Yes, Khamzat’s visa issues are legit.
He’s got a criminal record in Sweden. I believe it was assault on a security guard.

I think his Russian affiliations didn’t help either.

Gus also had a record in Sweden. I believe it was assault too? One case even on a woman. But he seemed to fight in the US just fine. But he does have a Swedish passport. I don’t think Khamzat has a Swedish passport.

Anyways. Once Trump is in charge, I’m sure Khamzat will get his US visa approved. In the meantime, Strickland gets the fight.

 

[octagonation]

no.. he will be ring side in aussie on ufc 312

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

I've been saying for about a year now: Khamzat made enemies in the state department by being Kadyrov's lapdog. That means anywhere 5 eyes rules, he's boned, at least until Trump gets into office. I imagine Dana is going to ask for a favor.

Why though? In 2024 he fought once and it lasted 3 minutes.

 

[laleggenda27]

Izzy-Khamzat is the fight to make. Either as the headliner in Saudi Arabia in February, or after the Orange Goof magically lifts Khamzat's travel restrictions.

 

[TheNinja]

I mean he’s buddies with a criminal warlord. So there’s that.

 

[Fishmonger]

well, considering legitimacy is derived from the authority of a pol state and a pol state grants visas, yes

Some ppl are deluded here both dana and khamzat denied this.

This fanfic narrative has no grounds and needs to die

Gus's assult resulted in 16 months jailtime.

Khamzat's assult resulted in a 50$ fine and 50 hours community service.

Also, yes, Khamzat isn't a Swedish citizen. He was always a Russian patriot.

So why hasn't he gone there?

Lets just happily forget that Khamzat is licking the feet of a dictator.

And Gus's assault case happened when he was a kid, cumshot was a young man by the time he battered a security guard who tried to stop him from stealing, in the country who took him in and gave him opportunities in life.

 

[Iroh]

So why hasn't he gone there?

Dom't know. Could be for many reasons. Gotta ask him. Why would he plan a trip if he can't get in though? If he is actually banned from a good number of countries, you don't think he'd (his manager/team) have checked with Aussie officials before planning the trip?

 

[Aurelian]

Sean was probably promised a title shot. Khamzat is next in line so it's not like he's really losing anything.
