[chinarice]

He would have 2 fights in 2020 but the entire event was cancelled over Covid. In 2021 he didn't get a fight until June, and he did not refuse or cancel any bouts. He then has a standard 2 fights per year 2022/2023. The drag in 2024 was waiting for a title shot.

2020: 1 fight (debut in October)
2021: 1 fight
2022: 2 fights
2023: 2 fights
2024: 1 fight

He's had in total 4 different fighters / fights cancelled on him having no fault of his own. Now he's been out with an injury, but that eventually happens to everyone.

He fights basically as often as Khamzat, who never fights according to Sherdog.

JDM winning fucked things up. If he has to earn the title fight then it should be Brady but who knows, Usman just won and is a big name and former champ. COuld they go Shavk/Usman and Garry/Brady and just see who comes out of those fights looking the best?
