Garry should rematch Shavkat for number 1 contender

[Cheese_&_mma_lover]

Now that Islam is log jamming the division, Garry and Shav should rematch.

I don't think Shav deserves a title shot from his last performance. The fight was too close w too little action. title shots should be based on performance, not just how high ranked the fighter is.

Would like to see the rematch w a stipulation. If the fighters do too much point fighting, neither will receive a title shot.

title shot can go to Buckley or Morales.

do you think this is a good idea?

 

[Buckland]

No

I dunno chief. You potentially kill Shavkat vs Garry 2 when one of them has a title.

Shavkat recovering still so let Garry get a crack, unless, Buckley ko'es Usman brutally.

if he hasn't recovered, I think that would be ideal

Why in the flying blue fuck would Shavkat do a rematch?

You’re out of your mind.

How about we do doubles, and triples of every close fight?

Logjam the fuck out of the ENTIRE org.

You CAN’T be serious?

Any combination of Garry, Shavkat and Belal is going to be a boring, close point fight.

I realize that's not always the style of Shavkat, but it is for the other two. And they'll force Shavkat into that kind of fight as he doesn't have truly elite wrestling/TDs or the power to KO guys with strong chins and decent striking defense.

No need so soon. And yes, for a legitimate sport it doesn't matter how flashy and entertaining a fight was. Arguing Morales getting a title shot before Shavkat is crazy.

Its already log jammed by Islam which would make the rematch make sense timing wise.

My main point is that #1 contender fights shouldn't just be about winning. it should be like contender series, you get the contract by performance, not by win.

Buckley and Morales have been having amazing performaces. it just seems unfair

Why would you suggest this.

This is the worst take I've ever read... Shav has clearly earned his shot and Buckley is like a top 30 guy who got lucky

I'll go further, I think every single signed UFC WW could beat today's version of Woodley... and if Buckley manages to lose it shows how much he shouldn't be in the conversation

 

[MRT]

Absolutely not.

Why should Shavkat have to beat the same guy (ranked below him) twice??

On Buckley, that was the consensus, pre covington. times have changed, Buckley is held in high regard now. He is the A-side

Neither guy showed up for the first match. But since then Garry was able to take out the dark horse of the division in Prates. A rematch makes sense, because they will be too inactive if they wait for Islam vs JDM winner

A-side to what? Thompson is 40, Colby is 39 does anyone really think he's going to be more than what we saw in the past? Buckley is like Melvin Guillard. ... he almost got to a title once if you remember.

Shav vs Thompson was wall and stall.

Buckley got the KO.

You should just watch King of the Streets

Shav can take risks striking if he wants, like when he fought Neal. He wanted to play it safe to get the title shot, that's why number #1 contender should be performance based. The fighters will game the system otherwise

So he's gonna get the automatic bid for a title fight in 2026? With 3 opponents trying to fight him?

Buck vs Cuck should be next, Shavkat have a guarantee TS upon his return.
