Who should be next for Khamzat Chimaev's UFC MW Title?

[Jonjonesgonemad]

I always said that Caio vs Imavov winner deserve it first more than Fluffy vs RDR winner, and I said that if Imavov wins, he solidifies and becomes once more a Glorified No. 1 contender cause he was No. 1 contender before DDP would drop to No. 1 after losing his title, and if Caio wins, that makes him be on 8 fight winning streak.

Fluffy's best wins so far are: No. 12 Dolidze, No. 9 Allen, No. 15 Roman (No. 5 RDR if he wins)
RDR's best Wins so far are: No. 15 WW Kevin Holland and No. 8 MW Whittaker (No. 6 Fluffy if he wins)
Caio's best wins so far are: No. 11 Jared Cannonier (No. 2 Imavov if he beats him)
Imavov's best wins so fare are: No. 4 Izzy, No. 9 Allen, No. 11 Jared Cannonier, No. 12 Roman, No. 8 WW Buckley (No. 7 Caio if he wins)

If there'd be a fight for Caio, I'd say he should fight early next year against either Whittaker, Brendan Allen or DDP.

Imavov is the one that has the highest chance in the division at beating Khamzat, that fight would be nothing more of an extreme diff either way.

Had Caio won and Fluffy beat RDR then there would've been no denying at all that Fluffy should fight Khamzat cause not only due to Imavov losing but Fluffy riding 9 fight win streak but let's say that since Imavov won and RDR vs Fluffy is happening, if RDR wins then RDR can just wait for Imavov/Khamzat winner cause Imavov earned it first, Imavov have 5 wins over ranked MW's compared to RDR's 2, Fluffy would have 4 ranked MW wins if he beats RDR, had Caio won he'd have 2 ranked MW wins but he'd be riding an 8 fight winning streak.

I wanna say that Imavov should get the title shot cause him beating Izzy should be more than enough already to get it, if beating Whittaker gives you a title shot then how beating the guy that beat him x2 wouldn't get you a title shot? Who should get the next title shot at Khamzat's MW title? Imavov or Fluffy/RDR winner? drop your opinions below.

Imavov has 5 top 10 wins in a little over a year, how in the world is it not him??

 

[sdpdude9]

Imavov clearly in my opinion. Pretty simple, most ranked wins and highest ranked wins.

 

[Koala]

Imavov

 

[laleggenda27]

1. Imavov is obviously the most deserving contender, no matter what happens with Fluffy-RDR.
2. The UFC has skipped contenders with better resumes than Imavov, so being "deserving" doesn't guarantee anything.

 

[Young Calf Kick]

Imavov without a doubt. Especially after that performance on Saturday. That dude is QUICK.

 

[Skarsgard]

Not a fan of Imamov, but he's pretty clearly above the rest. RDR is tied up with the only other option. The landscape will probably look wildly different in a year, but who knows?

 

[Prazeres]

Only argument against Imavov would be that Fluffy is on a longer winning streak, but his current run, he has ended two 7 fights win streaks in the UFC so it's a moot point.

Hopefully Khamzat is able to fight twice next year, Caio vs Imavov and Fluffy vs RDR are both deserving title eliminator and I don't see why both winner should do anymore to get their shot at the title.

 

[KO Shotz]

Imavov

Then Fluffy/RDR winner

 

[don't ask]

I want RDR, but Imavov deserves it more.

 

[RockyLockridge]

it would be Imavov in a just world.... but RDR beating fluffy would make it interesting, RDR would already have 4 mw wins since being signed. fluffy and Whittaker being very high quality wins, Plus being a oneFC double champ...... there's a debate to be had.

I think winner of RDR vs fluffy will get it if the fight is entertaining. If it's a borring or tame fight, It'll go to imavov.

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Imavov... But it will be Fluffy or RDR if there is a highlight finish.

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Imavov for sure based on merit he should have gotten a title shot before Khamzat even, but he didn't cry about that he went out and beat a dangerous who hadn't lost in 10 years.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

No challenges left, Khamzat's already cleaned out the division. On to 205!

 

[Thy]

at the rate champs fight. I'd pick someone i don't care to see fight since it'll take ufc a year just to make it happen.

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

nobody knew imamov existed 1 month ago

 

[dildos]

rematch dricus imo.

 

[calavera2]

Should be Strickalnd

 

[wolffanghameha]

I want to see RDR. He's around 35 already and is stylistically an interesting matchup.

 

[dipstickjimmy]

Imavov has 5 top 10 wins in a little over a year, how in the world is it not him??

While I agree Imavov is the best based on Merit was it really 5 top 10's?

Roman Dolidze wasn't a top 10 MW was he?
