Rakhmonov vs Muhammad

Belal's done more than enough, he should be next for to challenge for the title after Leon/Colby.
If Colby didn't get this title shot granted to him then I'd say you do him against Shavkat and Leon/Belal on the same card.
 
If usman stays at WW and Khamzat does not, Shavkat vs Usman should be next

Belal should just be getting the shot over Colby but since he isn't, he should get the winner of Colby vs Leon

Yeah, basically all of this. If Usman vs Shav doesn't formulate there's other options, realistically it's going to be 2 more fights for Shavkat before a title shot.
 
Kinda seems like Belal may be getting the Tony treatment when it comes to fighting for the title...

Tony was repeatedly set to fight for the undisputed title, and was strangely announced as undisputed champion during the buildup to the Khabib fight at UFC 223. Belal, on the other hand, is clearly just going to be set against killers until he loses.
 
People may not like Belal, but he was the most deserving of a title shot even before the Gilbert fight.
Frankly could have been in the conversation on the Luque win, considering Luque was already the title backup shoe-in at the time, doubling up on top-5 wins.

WW is a mess and it's all Pink Goof's fault.
A while back, I tried to broach the subject on "title eliminators" and WW was the first division I checked to see the last time there was a top contender fight where either winning would deserve the shot. And I had to go all the way back to the interim belt between Colby & RDA mid-2018.
