I'd have him at #6. Bumping Costa.

It doesn't play a role where his ranked i would say outside top 10 but it is irrelevant. He will be champion in his next bout

Costa didn't show up to fight so that clown belongs nowhere in the top10.

I think he's for sure better than several top10 but if you need to beat a ranked guy to be there then he isn't ranked..

I say put him #10 and get that idiot Paula out of the rankings forever

10

.
13 to 15 max... And thats being respectful to Usman ... realistically he could be out of the top 15 as hes faced no 1 ranked it

How does he bump #6 Costa when he didnt fight him or anyone in the top 10

His 3 MW opponents in the UFC have a combined UFC record of 11-15(at MW). remove GM3, and Usman/Phillips are a combined 1-6. I think he has contender potential, but rankings should be based on accomplishments within the division, not potential.

If Khamzat can fix his cardio, then he's def a top MW. But he hasn't done shit so outside 15 at MW.

Khamzat's toughest fight might be outside UFC actually at WW or MW. Amosov and Eblen. I actually think those guys might be better than Khamzat with 1/10th the hype.

I know this though. I don't think Khamzat is as good as we thought. And if he can't fix that cardio, he might lose very soon.

If he can, which is a big if, not sure if he beats Amosov or Eblen.

I have no idea. He could probably beat or lose to anybody in the top 10. The UFC made him rank 9. That doesn’t seem ridiculous. But it’s just a guess at this point for me.

16 or lower until he beats a ranked middleweight.

On skill he's probably top 5 for a round or 2, but we can't know because he hasn't fought any actual middleweightd for over 3 years.

Just breaking the top 15. Gotta beat some ranked MWs first.

 

[krelianx]

15 or so. He did beat Holland.

 

[Colemanstove]

Obviously not going to happen but I'd be interested in seeing him face Vettori as his first fight as a mw contender.

Looking for #1 option. Ban this user or at least no more freedom to make threads.

I love you too.

Above Hermansson a bit. I voted #6 but maybe I was too hasty. I think Anyone above Costa would beat him and Costa would give khamzat a run for his money. Dolidze is also very slick on the ground.

Can I say number 1 for the first 5 minutes & then I’m not sure
