Media Khamzat - "I'm the king of WW/MW - give me a title shot now"

How it really is...

He missed weight once ffs.

By 7.5 pounds ffs.
Make weight against Kamaru, beat him then fight for the title, problem solved.
Sign the fucking contract, set the date instead of talking constant shit with no real action.

 

[SharpasaRazor]

What is this weird echo chamber in which everyone is convinced that Khamzat doesn t want to sign a fight? You guys don t suspect that there might be something else at play here?

Well just an idea but if thats the case maybe he could say 'I want to sign a fight but there are issues getting in the way, we're doing everything we can though and I hope to fight soon' instead of 'I SMESH EVERYONE BROTHA, KEEEL EVERYBODY' whilst so definitively smashing and keeling absolutely no one and putting on weight while still claiming he'll fight in a division where he missed by 8 pounds last time.

The UFC doesn't need or care for Khamzat after the weight debacle at UFC 279

The UFC are offering him fights but Khamzat is just turning them down

Khamzat should just stick to talking on social media

 

[KillerIsBack V2]

Mf once again talking about 'I fight everybody, I keel everybody'

Just, and I cannot stress this enough, sign a fucking fight and make weight for it.

He is iced until Abu Dhabi, and he is frustrated with this.

So the UFC went from trying to schedule a fight during his current fight camp to now not giving him a fight when he could have fought twice by now.

 

[Doughie99]

so...... last WW fight..... missing weight by 7.5lbs is being the "King of Welterweight" is it???

horseshit.

He has beaten (in UFC at WW) :
McKee (who!?)
Li (journeyman)
Burns (close fight, could have gone the other way).

He ain't no frigging welterweight. Give him Usman at 180 or 185lbs and see how he gets on.

Brudda I will heal everybody!

 

[JoeRowe]

Khamzat beat a guy who lost a title eliminator. When he beat him he was #3. Shitty job knowing your stuff but it didn't seem to impact your confidence.

That, & last I checked Max Griffin, Barbarena, Robbie, & RDA were still on the roster. LOL

 

[MMAFanCal]

He has not fought a top opponent and also missed weight in the last fight. He is delusional.

 

[StonedLemur]

He should definitely fight already, but there's people that act like him missing weight is an epidemic.

He did it once.

Khamzats has 12 pro fights and only 5 of them at WW (and only one of these five weight-ins on a trusted scale). His problem is that he has difficulties making 170 and is not a proven top contender nor a title contender at MW. Still he wants to skip the lane. No wonder he does not have a fight booked at the moment.

Honestly can’t stand khamzat at this point for not fighting in so long and I can’t stand his fanboys who act like he will destroy anyone they put in front of him, he has insane dana white privilege, the last time I watched the 3rd round of burns chimaev I was thinking to myself “has this guy gotten away with a robbery win here?” I’d have to closely watch but if he did then his only ranked win is 13th jingliang. And if he had fought Costa and won you just know they’d fast track him to a title shot, completely undeservedly

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

What a GOAT.

 

[Jason7227]

Give me fight!

I UNFOLLOW YOU!

 

[Gamer2k4]

Pot calls the kettle black.. and of course he had to say it's because he's American lol

Yep, never mind that only three of the eight male champions are American, and none of the female ones are.

I don't think it's been "proven to not be true". Why do you think that is the case?
However, I think that most ppl think that the 3 fight offers would be evenly spaced throughout a year, while in reality they can offer 3 fights in the same day on, pretty much, the last week of the contract. Which is really low and crappy but probably what they sometimes do.

Costa and Usman have been chasing a fight with him, seems more like Khamzat is ducking or delaying, maybe he has an injury?

He's also called out Costa and Costa wasn't under a UFC contract until very recently, and they already have him booked against a different opponent. As for Usman, I missed where he called out Khamzat but I think that's respectable and I wouldn't be shocked if they tried to make that fight. Perhaps Khamzat is injured as you suggested or perhaps he's having visa issues. My guess is that we'll see him in Abu Dhabi, who the opponent will be, tough to say.

 

[DoubleA012]

Do you think we should start a new trend and rebrand “icing” to “frosting”?

I'm not opposed to it.

 

[Gamboal]

The UFC is truly going into a terminal decline if this 1-1.5 fights per year BS continues to spread. Khamzat is starting this sh*t under 30 yes old even it's outrageous.

Already fighters think they're year is done if they have 2 fights in a calendar year! People inevitably lose interest if there are 6-9+ months gaps between bouts.

Fighters used to do 5-6 fights a year and interest was maintained.
