Shavkat's been inactive for way too long imo. Shavkat does have a head to head win over Garry but Garry has a win over a #1 contender and Morales has a win over a #2 contender.If we're talking about deserve: Shavkat
If we're talking about what's going to happen : Usman
In both scenario Morales and Garry should just fight each other. I know sherdog is currently in love with Morales legendary Ecuadorian school of grappling but he definitely needs another fight.
That would workWell Shavkat won a TS eliminator
He should at least be offered a fight with Morales if he's ready to go
Morales
Stop rewarding point fighters

I'd put Morales's 19 win streak with Burns and Brady over Shavkat's resume especailly with a 1 year hiatusHe was injured. Had surgery I think. What can you do. He's still the most deserving.
Prates gets styled on for three-and-half rounds against Garry, then beats Garry's leftovers and the shell of Leon Edwards yet he is ahead![]()
People act like Garry was virtually done in the fifth round of their fight - yet not a single judge scored a 10-8 round.
I agree. Islam most likely fight iq and experience diffs Morales pretty badly. I'd rather see Ian get it as well. He's the only one out of the new crop of contenders outside of Shavkat who has the fight iq, experience and well roundedness to give Islam a competitive fight.Morales is young. I'd rather see Garry get the shot. I think Morales gets run over based on lack of experience fighting high level guys.
Brady for Morales was a better win in regards to title contention than Prates at the time for Ian.No clear mandate? He beat Prates. Or is excitement more valuable to you than winning fights?
