Media Max Kellerman destroys Dana White's Nate-Khamzat argument

[immyaxl]

Beating khamzat would be huge reward for Nate. Basically puts him back in the mix.

Nate is a journeyman fighter. He's lost a lot of fights in his career. Another loss isn't going to matter much. I think Nate vs Khamzat is a pointless fight but if that's all they're going to offer him he should take it and get this last fight over with. Then he can go make more money on the freak show boxing circuit .

Yes, Dana White has said it many times himself when he was first getting involved in mma, he thought it was a joke, and they couldn't hang with boxers. Once he realized a boxer would schooled in mma rules and this is where he'll make his money he changed his tune

Ive been around since the beginning and this is the first I’ve ever heard such a thing. Not calling you a liar but I would like to see references. I can’t find any.

Who the fuck actually wants this fight?

This is beyond stupid

Dana can try as hard as he wants to push for this fight and make Nate look scared but why Nate would take this absolute NIGHTMARE of a match up on the last fight of his contract is beyond me when he can get a BIGGER money fight and an easier fight in the Conor trilogy. Besides If Nates already eyeing boxing, and wants out, why the FUCK would he want to be back "In the mix" at the top of 170?



He knows he has nothing for the elite of the division and is tired of Dana's bullshit.

Also obligatory

Weak ass slap.

The majority of mma fans are idiots. Not a dig at anyone here, but it’s a sport with a large casual following - mostly naive young men - who will believe whatever line the UFC tell them.

Kellerman is no expert of MMA, but he doesn’t have to be. The basic premise of risk/reward is prevalent throughout the fight game and he’s absolutely correct to call Dana on his BS.
