If Shavkat Becomes Champ Is There Anyone at 170 You Would Favor Over Him?

[Gabe]

I am beyond excited to see this guy back in the cage, he doesn’t play it safe EVER and has that mentality where a victory isn’t enough, he has to finish you decisively. Even against Wonderboy he was constantly looking for the finish. I don’t necessarily see him losing to anyone at 170, I’d shit a brick if someone with Garry’s skill set beat him. JDM is pretty good but I don’t think he does anything better than Shavkat. Brady would get smoked. Maybe that guy who just KOd Magny. think Shavkat can get some defenses in as I don’t see anyone at 170 right now beating him.

No

He should have a BMF fight with khamzat at 185.

He will get slammed back to 170 but it will be a fun build up to the fight

 

[flektarn]

JDM could do alright

 

[Elegant]

Buckley could give him some real problems

 

[TITS]

I don't even favor him over the current champ.

Shavkat vs JDM, Prates, and Morales are all fights i look forward to.

It’s an interesting fight. We’ve never seen him deal with such a grappling centric fighter. If he muscle with and fend off a bit of Belal’s grappling to land some damage, Shav is a killer.
Belal’s thus far been putting on exhibition grappling showcases that really aren’t quite that super elite level showing no means of ending the fight.
So shav is gonna be there 5 rounds putting hands on him. Belal could crumble. Or shav could win a decision in controversial favor of damage:

10 times Belal become the underdog and is a +.

Shavkat will get exposed and we will have threads by the same casuals that goes likes "Shavkat was never that good".

There are a lot of interesting fights for Shav at 170 if he has a belt to warrant people’s willingness to fight him.
He’s much more interesting champ then control guy:

Ian Machado Garry 50-45

As someone else mentioned

Carlos Prates is looking really promising, he could be the guy

 

[KamalaForever]

Absoutely not!

 

[Cheese_&_mma_lover]

His wrestling skills are embarrassing. Belal will expose him

 

[Shaolin Alan]

Ian Garry Machado will dethrone Shavkat in 2025
