I think it's insane that you saw that main event and thought "yeah Imavov looks ready for Khamzat"
I agree but that is two guys now off the short list.. IMO, RDR might of lost the Rob fight and FLuffy is just so damn small compared to Khamzat and DDP. Ugh, maybe Dean was right about Khamzat killing the division.

edit: All of them should be begging to fight DDP, if they lose they still have a shot based on the fact he was destroyed by Borg.
 
Can't see it personally. What is it from their style you think would be a challenge?
Fluffy can wrestle and RDR has high level BJJ. Khamzat had trouble with Burn's BJJ (that is also high level) in their fight and it nullified his wrestling, and Khamzat had trouble with Usman's wrestling as it made him harder to control on the ground and to impose his will on.
 
I thought Brad Tavares didn't get his contract extension and was released a few months ago??

So he came back, got KO'd, but now he's getting more proposed opponents?

Not hating just curious. I'm missing something
 
Nah enough with these close hometown fights for Imavov, he still can’t separate himself from the pack with these performances. Feed him to Strickland again outside of France.



I think Caio without cutting weight twice in three weeks still takes him.
Caio is a talented, hard working, loud mouth fake ass paulo costa inspired cheating fighting bully..more so than a fighting nerd
 
The cold hard truth is , is that if Fluffy and RDR have a great scrap Dana is 100% deeming them the next fight for Khamzat.

UFC has different standards now, they need entertainment on all fronts. Imavov on paper is the most deserving contender 100% but that just ain't how it works in today's day and age.

His contract was up but he signed a new one. That UFC roster tracker account jumped the gun.
 
Maybe not them, they match up better with Khamzat than everyone else at the top of the division right now.

Fluffy yes, RDR no. Don't think he has the gas tank for Khamzat after seeing him vs Whittaker.
 
Mason Jones vs Myktybek Orolbai was the same fight I thought of and I agree that would be a banger!
Rhys McKee vs Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani is another I really like on that list, a stiff newcomer test for a cock guy Lebosnoyani.
I think the winner of RDR vs Fluffy should get the shot at Khamzat, with Imavov rematching Strickland to settle that on the same card.

I like BSD vs Joel Alvarez, Chandler should be fed to someone else moving up, a win over him doesn't do much for BSD if he's trying to get back towards the title mix IMO.

Alvarez is done at Lw
 
It's gonna be Imavov vs RDR/Fluffy winner for the interim belt if Pereira beats Ank.
