And rightfully so. What happened to him? Is there an investigation with USADA? Medical issues?
 
The memory of his hair lip is firmly implanted in my frontal lobe and cerebral cortex and I shall never forget it
 
There's not much to talk about right now.
We have no idea what's the next move after that weight miss debacle last time around, now we're hearing all sorts of things with him staying at welterweight, going to middleweight or fighting for a belt next.

I'm guessing it's a middleweight move, but again things are very unclear on that since his coaches and the UFC keep contradicting each other on what's next.
 
Yep and good. EVERYTHING fucked up missing weight. The ufc doesn't know what to do with him. The Gilbert fight kinda gave me the Francis vibe ,when he fought stipe. Then he blew threw Holland, unlike Francis with Lewis. Who knows but ya he probably should fight soon

He should be on every PPV at this point with the minimal damage he takes (besides Burns).
 
Some people say he's gonna fight the winner of Usman vs Edwards. Also, Ramadan is coming. He's gonna fight after Ramadan
 
Covid took most of his steam. He's been playing catchup ever since.
 
Big fan of Khamzat … however I have noticed that he calls out fighters who aren’t available and ignores fighters who actually call him out.

Exactly this. He’s very calculated with this. His callouts are basically when he tried starting gym drama with Costa (he wants it to appear like people are afraid of him, when he makes safe callouts that won’t happen). Then when he gets called out it’s like when Costa is like “let’s go” and he has to do the fake “don’t hold me back” and exits stage left. Very predictable pattern.
