Who they hell is Khamzat fighting?

[Dreyga Hates You Sherbums]

So they just e Costa was fighting a whole different Dagestani at 185

Rob is booked
Vettori is booked
Cannonier is booked
DDP is booked
Strickland is booked

So I guess he isn’t actually making the move to 185

Usman? Maybe Shavkat?

 

[13Seconds]

Usman and Khamzat are constantly flirting on twitter lately so maybe that.

Or Izzy is just straight up tavelling to Abu Dhabi in october...

 

[neandertal]

I dont believe he wants to fight before Abu Dhabi

 

[ExitLUPin]

Twitter algorithms

 

[NorthCal]

Either Usman or Izzy or Edwards should be the answer

 

[Kos Fan]

Literally fight anyone. I don’t care who I wish he stayed insanely active like at the start of his career.

 

[dipstickjimmy]

Either Usman or Izzy or Edwards should be the answer

Why should Izzy or Edwards be a remote option? Khamzat won a debatable *Decision over Burns at WW. His best win at MW was Gerald Meerschart & his last fight was a catchweight over Kevin Holland. How does anyone justify a title shot at either WW or MW with a win over an unranked WW in a catchweight at 180lbs?

*Edit was a UD not SD

 

[Adamant__]

Probably Usman at 185. Dumbest shit ever.

4D chess from the UFC.

Aliskerov fought Chimaev, so if Costa beats him as well, that's a common opponent with which they can sell the fight on



Do not ask me to explain in more detail, that's all I got.

SD? it was not SD.. put down the bottle he was next in line

 

[TempleoftheDog]

We are 5 months out from Abu Duabi. If the guy wants to fight. I’m sure the UFC can find somebody to fight him.

Does he actually want to fight, though?

 

[dildos]

he is retired.

He's too busy fighting on Twitter to fight in real life.

anyone who thinks this is Chimaev's fault is fucking delusional at this stage.. This is entirely on UFC and their fault not his.. No amount of delusions will change ground reality

 

[Neck&Neck]

The scale

 

[Jackonfire]

Never heard of him

 

[Chalky White]

He should fight Izzy, he earned it a long time ago.

 

[CC27]

He isnt fighting till Oct so things can play out.

Seems like that Usman fight might be real but not at WW, maybe 180 or 185. I'm not really a fan of that fight esp at anything other than WW. I can understand Costa not wanting to wait till Oct so he just took a fight but we'll see what happens. Fights play out over the summer still gives you time to fight in Oct. Costa might be little tough if he wins since he aint fighting till end of July but maybe Strickland is possible if he wins.

Khamzat is not a Dagestani.
