I just have a funny feeling that we've seen the last of him. The UFC is dead set on cockblocking his next fight with Burns and shows little to no interest in scheduling him.
My theory: after their bust up with Ngannou, the UFC brass have made a conscious decision to discourage avoid marketable and dominant champs whose selling power may exceed that of the UFC brand. Khamzat has all the hallmarks of one such fighter, and he's been frozen out as a result. They want bland, boring, uninteresting fighters with no name value, and who by extension are in a less advantageous position via a vis the UFC in contract negotiations.
Just my two cents.
