Basically he's about to enter the Chael and Colby Era of getting title shots because he says dumb things.

LOL
I made a thread about it last month
Is 2024 the Saltiest year In Sherdog history?
And Honestly, I can't blame them. Look at all the bullshit that has gone on this year - Dricus Beats Strickland in a contentious decision, Sparks massive debate on who won the fight - O'Malley gets a Bullshit gimme title fight against Vera - Khamzat Pulls out of the saudi arabia card, One of...

I think it should be pretty much the standard that if you have a failed title shot you need to string together lets say 3 wins before theres realistic talk of another. Plus theres a much more compelling fresh challenger available in Khamzat.
Sean is just one of those brash American guys that the UFC wants to keep in the mix, much like Colby.

Not sure how much weight it holds, but Whittaker's management did mention there was a fight in the works with Sean for UFC 305, but Sean turned it down

I can see the reasons why he got it and just like in life in this game "deserves got nothing to do with it."
But do I want to see it? Not really - he's a point-fighting seller of wolf-tickets that lost to the champ in a shit fight and blamed the judges in Canada for hating Americans while fighting a South African.
He's a shit-talker that can't take shit being talked back at him while being a jab and teep merchant that rants about "fighting to the death," won one fight since the title loss by point-fighting a heavily-declined Costa in a performance so shit that one judge scored 4 rounds for Costa.
I actually used to enjoy watching him fight at WW, but ever since he came back from the motorcycle accident to became the UFC's company man to headline cards at the APEX during COVID he's become more and more insufferable in so many ways.

I prefer it this way for Khamzat...let them both break each other down prior to fighting him. Sean has nearly 0 shot against Khamzat imho but DDP is a huge threat.

DDP vs. Strickland 2 feels like Jones vs. Miocic.
Just hurry up and get it over and done so we can get on to the real title fight.

Dumbest comparison I think I've ever seen.
DDP did absolutely fuck all in the first fight to prove he was the superior fighter to Strickland, he lost that fight in many fan's eyes and the vast majority of the media scored it for Strickland.
This rematch needed to happen immediately after the first fight but the UFC was adamant on still having Izzy in the picture. The REAL undeserved title shot was Izzy vs DDP.

"Deserve" isn't really a thing in today's UFC.

Chimaev is definitely the fight we all want but you're talking like Strickland is a easy squash match for DDP lol. The odds will be close, first fight was a split decision after all.

I am glad you think so. So, you're all hot and horny to watch another 25 minutes of patty-cake point fighting? That is almost as exciting as watching a coward champ fighting a geriatric.
Fuck off and give us the real title fight.

Their first fight kinda sucked too should be on the list of why he maybe doesn't.
