Nobody talks about Khamzat anymore

Question said:
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.

He's definitely getting next title shot at WW I'm thinking sir.

Yes his last opponent was holland, Who has had a fight which was a war and broke his hand and is booked again, Khamzat doesn't even have any talk of a potential fight. He has gone from trying to fight every week to once a year
 
Gourmet Chen Chen I duck everybody, except bloated lightweights. They will match him up with Fighter Kevin Lee no doubt.
 
Guy fights less than once a year now. Noone gives a shit. At his age he should be doing 4 fights a year minimum.
 
The UFC have tried to match him up with Covington, Pereira, Adesanya, Costa and Whittaker.

According to both Dana and Chael who's close with Colby, he didn't duck Khamzat apparently but for "other sporting reasons" never signed the sent contracts.
Pereira didn't want to fight at MW, so as he didn't sign either they moved on with the Pereira - Adesanya story. Izzy wasn't interested at all as he wanted time off.
Paulo Costa is playing some game and keeps turning down everything the UFC offers, including Khamzat that Costa after all has called out on the internet. But nope, he sees Chimaev as a money fight and demands a big pay.

Why the Whittaker fight didn't come to frution is still a mystery. Haven't heard anything about why the UFC decided to scrap those plans and look for something else. You could tell there was a lot of frustration after that with the UFC, and Chimaev decided to win back some of those religious nuts by pausing for Lent.

You're smart enough to know that he's getting next title shot sir.
 
Burns made him realize he can’t kill everybody so now he just cherry-picks the highest reward, lowest risk fights.

On top of that, if you’re not fighting, you’re not relèvent. There’s nothing to talk about because he doesn’t even have anything booked so..

He’s sidelined until an easy fight or title shot comes his way. Notice how he only calls out people with fights booked and ignored call outs where people call him out? Yeah.. it isn’t just me who sees this.

He'll fight the winner of this weeks main event.
 
People will talk about him again soon enough. Just needs to get a fight signed and ready to go.
 
There's currently 3 threads about him on the first page of this forum but sure, if you say so
 
When he has a fight people will talk about him. Not really that complicated.
 
He doesn't fight anymore so its tough to stay interested in an in active fighter
