Likewise.

I can never say never. I used to hate Jones and Mcgregor.

Whittaker has GOAT grappling defense.

 

[AmonTobin]

Chimaev vs Cannonier or Gastelum would be great. If the UFC is looking to push him up, then sure keep feeding him standup guys who don't like to grapple.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Khamzat will never fight again

That was about 9:55am today.

Let's do it.

The press conferences would be lit like a candlestick

That was at 9:12am today.

An honest to shit Sybil.

I'm not holdjng my breath waiting for Khamzat to fight. He's wasting his prime cherry-picking just the right opponent, while the world goes by. It's going to be the same situation as last year - Khamzat diesn't fight any actual relevant WW or MW, gets booked into a nonsensical squash match (vs Diaz) that's meant to be a showcase for him, then squanders the opportunity by missing weight and acting like a jack@$$.

I think (hope) it's Whittaker. It was rumoured a while back and neither of them can seemingly get a fight. Whittaker has already beaten everybody in the top 5 and besides Poatan, there isn't really anything out there for him.

At this point Whitaker may as well just wait for the title shot.

 

[Chalky White]

It’ll be the winner of Izzy-Alex.

Whittaker is Khamzat’s toughest matchup, it would be stupid for the UFC to give him his toughest fight in the division in a non-title match. If Whittaker was a popular fighter, then maybe, but he isn’t relevant enough to potentially waste Khamzat.

He has favorable matchups against both Pereira and Izzy, makes sense to give him a title match and then he can defend against Whittaker.

 

[DatSamboKid]

They should’ve booked Whittaker vs Khamzat for UFC 287, not sure why it didn’t pan out.

I’d love to see him fight Cannonier. It will be interesting to see if he can man handle a former HW.

 

[Izzysexboyfriend]

Khamzats gonna fight the Izzy/Pereira winner

 

[Tweak896]

Honestly its a shame they couldn't book a better ranked WW than Burns or give Khamzat a title shot. He's never going to be a two divisional champ now. If you think he could be at LHW, then he potentially could've been a 3 weight champ.

 

[rjmbrd]

Cannonier is a very dangerous fight. If it happens, that would be an incredible fight.

Cannonier isn't really a guy who's going to sleep elite fighters. He hits hard but the guys he got out of there like Branch and Jack aren't on the level of Khamzat. Agreed it would be fun and interesting though.

Whittaker would be a really tough and dangerous fight for Khamzat, Cannonier would favor him IMO.

 

[Foonie]

I hope he’s fighting Conor soon. Both are true middleweights.

 

[DjolexMTL]

Aside from maybe Whitaker, I think Marvin is the worst stylistic matchup for Khamzat. He has super efficient wrestling, a great gastank and a volcano rock chin

 

[DjolexMTL]

L move by costa tbh. khamzat was prepping for an upcoming fight

If Khamzat is gonna use the upcoming fight excuse to bail out, then he shouldn't be looking to start beefs in the first place

 

[CC27]

Do you really think Dana knows who 3rd ranked MW is? thats just saying like oh he'll fight a top guy next. It could be Strickland or Costa, it will be someone at the top but doesnt mean its top 3.

I could see them not doing Whittaker but it depends who is the champ. If its Alex maybe Bobby just gets next and Khamzat fights a contender for a shot. If its Izzy who wins back title do you really do Whittaker/Khamzat and risk another Izzy/Whittaker fight? I know you could say well Izzy's beaten everyone just about but you could do Strickland/Khamzat and thats a fresh fight.

 

[MeatWagon06]

Jared by decision. They should keep Kumzhot away from the top 5 MWs.

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

He’ll beat Jared and claim I deserve a title shot now

Cannonier isn't really a guy who's going to sleep elite fighters. He hits hard but the guys he got out of there like Branch and Jack aren't on the level of Khamzat. Agreed it would be fun and interesting though.

Cannonier has the power to sleep someone. If this is a standing fight Khamzat’s chin will be tested.
