Does Khamzat Chimaev Deserve a title shot?

[Goutfather]

who do u want next for the title vs DDP?

cannonier has done more to earn it, so he should be first in line. though admittedly im not terribly excited about it. definitely not izzy. khamzat vs izzy would lock it up for khamzat.

Cannonier is really the only other option, apart from a Stricks rematch.

But yeah, that's not a sexy fight. Cannonier will be 40 fucking years old by the time that fight happens.

And he has already had a title shot were he looked like shit, completely timid and not willing to go for it. DDP was probably ready to die in there to get the belt.

a clown like Covington gets 3 title fights, why doesn't Khamzat deserve a chance

I thought i read on here that ddp was saying his legs were too fucked up to make 300 in time. Coulda just been a fever dream.

I haven't heard anything about him being injured. You might be thinking about when DDP was asked to fight Izzy on short notice when his foot was broken.

Cannonier doesn't match up well with Izzy or Whittaker but he looked great in his last 2 fights and Izzy and Whittaker haven't in their last few. I don't think that should be held against him, he's the only top 5 MW on a winning streak.

Colby shouldn't have gotten a title shot and Khamzat shouldn't either. UfC needs to go back to giving the fighters on winning streaks that have recent ranked wins the title shots. It shouldn’t be a popularity contest.

I wonder if Dana would risk giving him the welterweight title shot against Leon. With belal being the backup in Case he doesn’t make weight.

 

[blaseblase]

Why are talking about MW at 300? The belt was just on the line. If anything screw over Belal and let Khamzat fight Leon at 300 for WW

So many things wrong with this. Khamzat hasn't tried to make WW in a year and a half and he missed weight the last time. He's a middleweight now. Also it's Ramadan. Also he can't fight in the U.S. due to being best buds with our enemy.

 

[oscerthegrouch]

The only Title Shot he deserves is hvy title shot with Jones..... because like the rest of those( title shot's) you want give him his mouth got them there not his record.

 

[ragreynolds]

He most certainly does not.

 

[CatchtheseHands]

That could be true,but casuals wont care to know about something like that. Might be good to watch,but prob wont sell tickets.

I don't see why it wouldn't sell tickets. Izzy vs Strickland and DDP vs Strickland did yet those fights are ones that you would think casuals wouldn't pay to see yet they did.

Well those are all valid points you make, what's a better idea cuz belal will not be on 300. Granted that idea i had was implied as a last resort attached to same sentiments with my HW match

Khamzat vs Cannonier for #1 contender

 

[TriangleMonkey]

The action dispelled in a fight between DDP and Khamzat would be off the fucking charts in the first couple rounds when both are fresh

 

[DeformedGravy]

Cannonier title shot club checking in, imo Cannonier should fight for the title while Izzy and Khamzat fight a title eliminator

Izzy vs Khamzat would be a great fight too. MW has a lot of great matchups at the top now that Izzy, Strickland, and DDP have all held the belt recently.

If DDP wants to stay active I'm all for throwing Cannonier in there next, another fresh matchup between top MWs.

 

[don't ask]

I'd like it if he climbed the ladder as if this was a real sport, but I'll settle for him beating a single top 5 fighter.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

No. Next question.

 

[checktheknuckles]

Fuck no and fuck anyone who thinks he should get one, warranted or not.

 

[akeller901]

Alex vs Izzy 3
DDP vs Chimaev

That’s good enough to be the top 2 fights for 300 regardless if he federated the shot or not
