Who should Khamzat Chimaev fight next?

[ki11ian]

He should fight Dricus next, the Strickland rematch made little sense anyway.

 

[C0NCH3TO]

Fight? More like smesh.

 

[smalliebiggs]

i hate Strickland so voted him

 

[Mittens]

Unless it's 100% clear that now and in the future his troubles with getting to US of A are gone - no title shot should be given. So someone else than DDP.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Title shot imo.

Might as well strike while the iron is hot.

 

[usernamee]

King Kong or Brock Lesnar

 

[octagonation]

nobody except DDP

Ufc needs to swap Strickland out with Khamzat. No reason a decision over Costa earns him a title shot over a Whittaker finish and Usman decision at MW.

We'll see Tuesday according to Dana. He's definitely considering Chimaev/DDP title fight.

Good. We always get pointless rematches for title fights clogging up divisions. We have 3 guys who never had a title shot and on a long
win streak. Caio or Khamzat deserve it over Strickland. You can even say Imavov is close to getting a title shot.

DDP, Adesanya or Strickland - any of them would be great.

But, he's had long enough of a build up, I say throw him at the champion at the next available opportunity.

I don't see any of those guys holding him off, Chimaev taking the belt seems like a guarantee at this point so let's not waste the time

Yes I agree, might as well give him the opportunity, especially how big of a money fight that will be. Big numbers I'd say PPV wise. Khamzat will be the biggest star as champ imo.

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

For the title.

But it matters little.

If Dana knows what he is doing, Khamzat will end up fighting DDP, Strickland AND Adesanya in some order within the next 2 years.

He addressed those rumours in the buildup to this fight. Dana also addressed this after the fight.

Its completely false. He is free to come and go in the US as he pleases.

I'm deeply hesitant about belting a guy who is 50/50 about showing up on fight night, and has visa issues.

But the correct answer is DDP. There's no need to do a rematch with Sean when a viable contender just walked through Whittaker.

 

[Chayanne]

its just like omalley, he doesnt deserve it, always sick weak nauseous and now after a good performance straight away title fight. but hey, this is ufc, not a real sport like football and thats why it will never be the biggest sport, its a circus.
