Why isn't Shavkat fighting?

[Hdfi]

He's waiting for the title shot.

He's the clear #1 contender after Belal vs Leon, why fight at all?

Make money, get more fans, more endorsements.

Avoid sitting out a year or two waiting around if Leon or Belal gets hurt or just doesn't want to fight. Chandler has been the clear opponent for McGregor, now about to sit out two years. Aspinall would have the clear shot at Jones, he could sit out a year or two waiting on Jones, but that wouldn't be smart.

If I were Shavkat, I'd ask for an easy top 15 guy to demolish.

At this point its probably smarter to wait for the outcome of Leon vs Belal. Then go from there.

I need to see him beat up Colby

Not happening. Colby won’t fight anybody other Belal because he doesn’t want to risk getting finished…

He ended up getting surgery too didn't he? Or am I remembering someone else's injury

It seems like he had to get surgery. This is all I could find talking about it though

Bc of the UFC shitty match making tactics. Let bums like leon and colby hold up the division.

Sanko said he got hand surgery after the fight. JDM said he was hoping Shavkat would be able to fight on the Perth card then next thing we heard JDM was injured.
