Shavkat would be an UNDERDOG vs Usman!

is this fight happening? they can't find a better opponent for shavkat than someone on a 3 fights losing streak?
 
The only thing I see favoring Usman (at this stage) is that Shavkat was pretty hittable in the Neal fight.

Usman's KO power is probably still there. If Shavkat lets Usman hit him half as much as he let Neal hit him it could be a big problem.

Usman's TD are still there as well, but I'm not sold on how big a problem that is. Shavkat has 100% TDD in the UFC so far.

I think Usman is in his out of prime Tyron Woodley era
 
Kamaru Usman is much more experienced and proven than Shavjat... He is better at almost everything than Shavkat: better cardio, better wrestling, better defense etc. Kamaru fought Khamzat on short notice & arguibly won that fight on points.

On other hand Shavkat isn't proven just yet. He didn't face the same quality of opposition Usman faced. He only beat Neal, Wonderboy & Magney... None of them were top WW at any point.

Only way Shavkat wins this fight is if Kamaru gets too old overnight.


Rumours: Shavkat Rakhmonov vs Kamaru Usman is officially signed for UFC 310

Seems like those in the know aren't really sold on shavkat as championship material. There's those vids of him being full mounted pre professional career. Belal and others call bluff. I guess we'll see if Usman can break him.
 
If Shavkat is an underdog im absolutely throwing money on him. Hope he is.

I'm willing to bet you $2k on Shakvat at even odds. If you are down to it we can discuss the logistics.
 
It should be Shavkat vs Leon for the title eliminator, if we are truly being fair. Usman is on a 3-fight losing streak (2 of those to Leon) and hasn't won a fight since 2021. Leon was just champ with 2 defenses and a 12-fight win streak.
 
Buckley wants it, Garry wants it, JDM would've want it if he was healthy
Ian and Buckley are fighting each other and JDM isn't available that's why I didn't bring it up cause I knew that is obvious. No one else wants the fight.
