Rumored Shavkat Rakhamonov vs Kamaru Usman - UFC 310 - Dec 7th

[Black9]

Looks like it's officially "in the works" more than likely for the interm championship

You guys interested in it? Seems like a SOLID test for Shavkat

 

[TerraRayzing]

Given his performance against Khamzat on a week's notice, Usman have a good chance of winning.
Hell I wouldn't be surprised if he became champion again.
Unless he has fallen off a cliff completely. Entirely possible too.

Some guys get cut after a trifecta of loses
Marty gets an interim shot
He’s got that Dana Black privilege

 

[tritestill]

Usman talks getting the belt back will be done or he will surprise us all.

 

[Luthien]

Belal's thoughts and prayers go with Usman.

 

[tritestill]

Why not Leon though?

 

[Ladder Master]

I understand the options are limited but this fight is not very intriguing
at all.

It's obvious at this point if you save a card as a last second replacement Dana rewards you w/ one free title shot when you choose

 

[kkthx]

are you for real right now...



yeah this screams "deserving of a title shot" for me

WW is easily the worst division in the UFC and has been for a while.

Interim is bs because Usman certainly doesn't deserve it. I could see him beating Shavkat though.
I am not convinced he is as good as Sherdog thinks he is.

@Black9 here’s the official source bro:

I was kinda hoping they'd put Prates in there.

Usman is lame at this point. He's lost 3 in a row, doesn't deserve this opportunity.

But whatever. Last minute and ufc probably felt like they needed a name. I think he's shot and gets worked.

 

[sonhow]

Usman bout to go snooze man

 

[Morning Star]

I get Usman doesn't deserve it but that card desperately needs a main event.

 

[Raymundo Alvarado Guevara]

Usman is going down since lose the belt

They're just now building Prates, we'll get him JDM and Shavkat all fighting eachother in the next 24 months as main events.
Usman is a free feather in Shavkat's cap. Marty hasn't cut to 170 in a while and will be slow, Shavkat finishes him in 4 rounds or less.

 

[Luthien]

If Usman wins this I'll be so bummed out :C

 

[Neck&Neck]

Stupid Belal and his damn toe

 

[Sycho Sid]

Interim is beyond stupid. Is giving them a fake belt going to improve buys over it being a 5 round #1 contender fight?

I get it. But when you've got a guy that's got 5 walk off KOs in a row I think you can make an exception and throw a guy like that in a fight like this.

That fight would have had the hard-core fans pumped up.

This fight we got, just kinda sucks tbh. Usman doesn't even really bring anything to the table that makes me think he could pull off an upset. He should be a big underdog.
