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

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.
Extremely close fight, where he got dropped by a guy 2 weight classes smaller than him.
 
I thought Burns edged it. Belal is deserving. Colby and Khamzat didn't fight in +1 year. I guess hype.

Fat boy with a big mouth, should put some more food in it, if he’s not fighting soon
 
He's not lying though is he. Colbington getting a title shot would be a fucking travesty and an insult to the division. And let's not pretend people are lining up to fight him at any weight class.
 
Fight or get a sherdog account Asslip.
 
If you haven't worked in 8 months you are either.
A bum/lazy
rich
or retired.

Supsension
Injury
Visa issues are also valid reasons.
Which is it.
 
The only thing this guys done in years is get nicknamed Cumshot
 
That's been proven to not be true. It's just something Dana says. Plus when Francis left, they made tighter contracts that give the fighters even less say, so it really could be the UFC just not offering him anything. But who really knows.
This.
Every ding dong in this thread acts like they know what is going on behind the scenes.
Maybe Khamzat isn't signing fights. Or maybe he isn't receiving any reasonable offers.
I don't even think it's clear exactly what happened for the Nate fight.

I really want to watch Khamzat fight. He's one of the most intriguing guys on the roster. I'm going to reserve judgement on "whose fault" all this is for the time being.

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.

I don’t think that “proves” what they claim. Being offered 3 fights is different from fighting 3 times. The UFC could offer 3 fight on the same night and claim you got your 3 offered fight: “do you want to fight A, B, or C”. It’s bad faith and a lousy way to do things, but it is technically offering 3 fights. I think that everything in that article is compatible with what I have said here and thus doesn’t prove that the UFC doesn’t offer 3 fights a year. If you think that I have missed something significant feel free to provide a specific quote or part.
 
So I guess Burns also broke Khamzat's chin since he knocked him down as well.

Khamzat is a bad public speaker. The delivery just isn't there. His strong point is the maniac shtick, yelling into the mic about violence.

I find that "strong point" so cringe. I think at the end of the day he isn't very marketable which will hurt his earnings even if he becomes champ.

Well he's clearly very popular, in my personal life I was very surprised to see certain people actually know about Khamzat.

Like I said though he's a terrible speaker, he should be like the UFC's Bill Goldberg. He was a draw because he rarely ever spoke unless it was to add to his violent performances in the ring.

He missed weight by 8 pounds then acted like a cock about it is what happened.
