[HuskySamoan]

So he's ready to fight again? He must be sacrificed to Shavkat.

Lol Shavkat ain't getting Colby next.

Colby is either getting Khamzat or Burns after he beats Jorge.

Shavkat will probably fight Belal.

 

[Kb7]

Nice, I didn't even know they had back up for this bout. I'm liking that UFC actually does this now, instead of scrambling last minute.

 

[Ripp0ntare]

What <45><45><45>

This dude is the definition of a rank squatter

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

That is some BS

Either of those outcomes are fine, Belal, Burns or Colby next for Shavkat. I don't think Khamzat is making 170lbs but if he does Colby would he fantastic.

 

[OldBoy91]

Assumed it had to either be Colby or Belal as backup.

They wouldn't be able to trust Khamfat to make weight.

 

[TheTickG]

I've been saying he deserves another title shot for over year now. About time it happens this weekend.

 

[Redando]

Why do they keep pushing Covington?
He never fights real contenders and they keep pushing this overrated fighter who didn’t beat anyone in their prime.

 

[Unheralded Truth]

I guess it's not his fault for being given the opportunity, but jeez!

Not a good look after turning down Chimaev, Burns and Belal on several occasions. All of a sudden you can show up when a title is on the line?

 

[Ripp0ntare]

That is some BS

The literal definition of a fraud. Fraud ranking, fraud personality, fraud injuries against street jesus lol.

 

[Deleted member 504083]

Should be Khamzat vs Colby co-main

 

[Razor]

GOAT

 

[azerty]

imo it's better if the alternate isn't the most deserving fighter, guys who earned it deserve to train properly for their title fight and not to be plan B just to avoid the card being scrapped

 

[ExitLUPin]

Looks like a new tattoo on his leg? Is that a native American symbol?

 

[Ace70 V2]

Does this mean that his brain damage lawsuit is in the shitter?

 

[BluntForceTrama]

Shavkat will probably fight Belal.

again w this BS
getting super annoyed w the prospect of such a lackluster shit fight

people want to see Belal fight? amazing

 

[HuskySamoan]

Does this mean that his brain damage lawsuit is in the shitter?

Probably settled out of court.

 

[Queenofchaos]

Hell yeah fuck Usman get out of the fight
