How Da'fuq does Blaydes want title shot?

[Brit_Brawler]

He wont even make one defence of a title even if he managed to win. I don't see him beating Cormier or stipe and he damn well ain't beating ngannou.
Realistically he isnt winning the title either then

 

[Moscardino]

He's a lay-and-pray fighter with 2 viscous losses to Ngannou and the personality of a dry spaghetti dinner. He ain't getting a title shot.

 

[boss429]

On the plus side for Curtis, if Frank fights and loses to Stipe again in a similar fashion, Frank will find himself stuck in limbo for a long while. If a guy loses to fights that really arent close to a champ, most of the division would need to die in a plane crash to see a third fight against the champ. Aldo found himself stuck and changed weight classes partially because of it.

If Frank finds himself in this problem, Curtis could leap frog to the champ far easier. No one wants to see Blades vs Ngannou 3 as they won't want to see Ngannou vs Stipe 3.

Weird example there using Aldo who won 4 of 6 rounds with Max and barely lost to Volkanovski in a fight he didn't seemed to be bored out of his mind during. I wouldn't really describe that as the definition of "losing fights that really aren't close with the champ".

Meh, Yoel got a title shot after a loss so....

 

[Phillyz]

who should he fight? 3 fight winning streak,before the lose to frank -4 more wins in a row,he might lose to frank 10/10
but he still got a decent shot at stipe,you can understand him

Nagganu beats Blaydes 10/10 times and Stipe beats Nagganu 10/10 times.

How does one want anything?

You got 2 frauds currently holding the division back

Fire Stipe and DC

Or force them to get in the octagon
Both running scared making up fake news injuries

 

[chillyoo]

If black beast wins then they can scrap?

 

[Kono dio da!]

Did he forget about two of his brutal losses against a guy who is on top of him in the ranking?

Yes he lost to Francis... Badly... Very fucking badly... But he has never lost to Stipe has he?

Nah Stipe was not holding out for Bork laser. DC hurt his eye. I give Stipe a pass.

 

[Kono dio da!]

Blaydes for the title in 3 months, the timing is good
Then you have a Ngannou / Rozenstruik winner for the tile end of 2020.

Big brain moves. I like that. Book it!

 

[LoneLynx]

Simple: Stipe and DC retire, Blayde and Francis fight for the title

 

[ignorant MMA fan]

We all know the Stipe/DC trilogy is coming next. Realistically he probably gets Rozenstruik, Lewis, Latifi or Volkov. But calling one of them out would have been equally pointless.

 

[The_Renaissance]

If they weren't hell-bent on DC/Stipe III then Blaydes would be a lock for me. Who else? Everyone else has received a title shot after KO'ing JDS, so why shouldn't Blaydes? His resume is solid, if you take out the Ngannou losses.

Well, we don't want Stipe to wait for the winner Ngannou / Rozenstruik, do we

Yep and Blaydes works hard. Win or lose I'd like to see him get a shot.

 

[Stinkman21]

Hell romero's getting a title shit why shouldn't he? he is in the top 3 after all

Only injury is your lack of brain cells
