two middleweights in UFC 294 pulled out

[octagonation]

First it was Chimaev vs Costa - We know what happened he pulled out

Second it was Cannonier and just an hour after accepting the fight he tore his MCL? Ok!

Then came Kamaru Usman in the picture and NOTE both that Costa and Cannonier fights were number 1 title contender fight where winner gets Strickland and Usman got the same deal to step in..

Too fight or 2 fights ?

Gargle more on Khamzat nuts, this fight says more of a beast that Usman is than GASSEDmat is.

I don't get it. Is this a thing that people are disputing?

Also, what is it supposed to mean that he agreed to fight people he didn't fight? Why is this in any way important?

 

[Reign009]

People saying he doesn't deserve a title shot ≠ acting like he wasn't booked to face a MW.

I know, nuances are inconvenient.

 

[Joshuaace]

Who? Who is it that is acting that way?

Good thing they didn't all show up at once.

ChenChen would've got more wins that night than in his last few years.

Better ask the King of Denmark for that one.

TS edited his title! Lol.

The issue is he fought a WW off the couch and still didn’t look great.

If Costa/Cannonier survive round 1 like Usman did, they would have KO’d Chimaev.

Doesn’t make sense to get a MW title shot after that performance.

People also don't understand top MW or WWs aren't showing up to fight Khamzat. Whether that is accepting the fight or something coming up in the lead up. They won't be there the day of. It's llike Islam at LW. Eventually they are going to have to give Khamzat the titleshot.

Around here, If it's not one inconvenience it is another.....<45>

 

[Egészségére!]

I don't think anyone is saying he wasn't willing to fight a top middleweight,
they're saying he didn't

+ Imavov vs Aliskerov

Costa had a legit injury and it's illegal to say he didn't.
