Who Would You Favor If Dricus and Khamzat Fought?

Borz just earned his TS. Did you miss the part where Dana said the winner is next?

The UFC fucked up getting Borz the TS at WW. They will NOT blow it a second time.
 
5 rounds is not good for Khamfat.
I never said it was.

I’m just saying Strickland vs Borz is a done deal. No matter what anybody thinks.

Btw.. I’m on the record as saying Dricus SHOULD be next to challenge Strickland.

But the UFC screwed up the WW TS. And whether he wins that fight with Edwards or not is irrelevant.

They will NOT fuck this up again.

I don't really see how the UFC fucked anything up.

They gave him the easiest big name fight at 170 in a 38 year old Nate Diaz and he missed weight by almost 10 pounds. If anything Khamzat fucked up his own title shot at 170.

I'm sure there's an argument he deserved it after squeaking past Burns, but not over Edwards on his 11 fight win streak, so it made sense to make that fight and give Chimaev the biggest name, easiest fight they could find for him.

They gave Usman an instant rematch. He got KTFO. He didn’t deserve it. No champ that gets finished does.

The fight with Nate would not have happened if Borz got the TS next. The UFC clearly fucked up. It’s obvious that they KNOW it, too.

They are leapfrogging the OBVIOUS next guy in line.

I get what you're saying but I think Usman deserved the rematch, if not for the 5 title defenses then definitely for the fact that he was a minute away from defending at 278.

Besides, Khamzat/Nate was booked before Leon actually won the belt so he would have fucked up regardless.

You should be happy anyway. Your boy wouldn't be undefeated right now if he'd fought Edwards.

He’s not remotely “my boy”. I’m not a fan of Usman, or Borz. My post history backs that up.

I’m just relating points of interest. If the UFC knew that Edwards was going to ko Usman. They never would have made the Borz/Nate fight beforehand. And nothing stopped them from giving Borz the TS after the Nate/Holland fuckarow.

They just figured it would be a layup stay busy fight for Borz. While getting the casual viewers to buy the card for Nate’s last UFC fight. Thereby transferring the shine onto Borz. If he destroyed Nate like the majority expected.

It’s like paint by numbers. But a couple things happened that the UFC did not count on.

1. Usman getting KTFO.
2. Borz not making weight for the Nate fight.

I don’t look at just one side of arguments. I see them from all angles.
 
Dricus is old news now… dude did all that chirping just to duck Izzy.

He’s gonna be matched up with someone like Cannonier and that’s that.
 
I was skeptical about the 'Khamzat has shit cardio' mania but it seems you guys have manifested it into life, it's real now. He looked gassed after round 1 tonight. I think Dricus is a very hard match-up for him, Khamzat doesn't seem to have a strong frame at MW. Looks kinda lanky. Dricus, Paulo, Vettori, Jared are big boys.

Oh I do agree partly. I don't think the UFC expected a lot of what went down to actually happen.

I think their perfect world Usman would have defended against Leon, Chimaev would have squashed Nate and sent him packing to his influencer stuff he wanted to do. Then they would have made Usman vs Chimaev for the belt.

However, Leon did beat Usman, but Usman was 55 seconds away from winning 49-46 so they were kind of obligated to give him a rematch.

Khamzat became Khamfat and almost ranked the entire card built solely to showcase him. Ruined UFC's plans giving Nate a win on his way out the door. They technically COULD have given Borz a title shot at 170 for beating a barely ranked 185er, but it would have been a bad look. Missing weight by 9 pounds and then an immediate title shot, it was never going to happen.

The betting odds would change 10 fold if Khamzat faced off with Dricus and people saw the size difference. Dricus is a fucking unit and just ragdolled Whittaker when he decided to. Show me one other fighter who did that to Rob. Dricus is built way differently than Khamzat.
 
Would be a great fight, du Plessis is the bigger more powerful man. Strickland will give Chimaev a good fight too imo.
