Dear Matchmakers: Russians Need UFC Cage Time Too...

[Deleted member 585708]

I know Russia pumps out some absolute monsters, but these guys still need building up and to be given cage time!

People do complain that guys like Khabib and Islam had to fight too many times before facing the truly elite, but tonight we see why.

Ikram Aliskerov and Abus Magomedov were both done dirty expecting them to face the elite straight away.

Give these guys proper builds with real UFC cage time!

Tonight was a dangerous mismatch between an unranked guy who just fought Warrley Alves and BOBBY. FUCKING. KNUCKLES.

Please don't do it again.

All that time fighting cans in the regional circuit isn’t good enough, they have to be spoon fed when they come to the big leagues too.

It's wild that Bo Nickal, who's even greener than Aliskerov, was called first.

LOL gtfo! many of those dagi and caucasus fighters talk about guys way above them in the rankings, always lookign for an easy way to the top! same goes for their weird ass hardcore fans….

Have you followed the threads here before Abus and Ikram? I felt like we are talking about another Sean and Bobby because ALL of the bathtub warriors here were so confident that Abus and Iram would mop the floor with Sean and Bobby!

You do realize Aliskerov vs Whittaker wasn’t planned?

 

[Young Calf Kick]

Well they’re already building a non-US only club (Khamzat, Shara Bullet) so if they keep up this pace they’ll actually might up having Russia (or Dagestan) only cards in Abu Dhabi, etc

There are worse problems with match making.

The UFC is supposed to be the big leagues…

Fighters on the roster should have gotten their cage time in the smaller shows. Heck, some “prospects” were already champions in their initial promotions prior to even being brought in to the UFC…

This was a short notice fight. Dude signed the contract. He obviously thought he had a chance.
