LOL jimmies = rustled. The point was his fans hate that his air of invincibility vanished after that fight.. Your butthurt response proves my point lol ;)

No, the point is that he doesn't need an "air of invincibility" in order to justify a title shot because we aren't comparing him to GSP or Jon Jones, we are comparing him to fuckin DDP lol.

There is no doubt he is getting one if he runs through Costa because he has 5.6m insta followers and is the most compelling fight in the division for Izzy given the stylistic matchup.
 
I’ll say it again for those of you in the bleachers…..

Just imagine the amount of time between title defenses if Khamzat were champ.
 
Yes and deserved after DDP. Just because who else is there?
 
I still believe Dricus will be next up after Strickland. Too much pop from the media/social media after Izzy's rant. Strike while the iron is hot.
 
Everyone said Costa is the worst matchup for Khamzat at MW, so yep he deserves it if he wins.
 
Probably but also probably after Dricus

The way he beat Rob then Izzy going into the cage ranting a racial angle which got a lot of traction sets up their fight. So I don't think he will skip over Dricus, but he will get a shot if he beats Costa
 
Absolutely, without a doubt. Deserving in the traditional sense of working your way up through the ranks, not necessarily. But has earned it by popularity and more or less walking through most of his matches hardly even being touched. Burns is the only guy that even put up much of an match for him and Burns give everybody a tough fight and comes out winning most of the time.
 
I guess Kamara got exposed by Burns too since he almost got KOed as well
 
Yes, middleweight is full of one dimensional sloppy brawlers with shit takedowns. At least someone with god tier wresslin can make things interesting.
 
Didn’t he win the fight against the number #2 WW at WW? He got dropped in a fight, ever watch mma before? Lol such a stupid point. At least post a gif of someone getting KOd, your literally posting something from a highly ranked opponent he beat.
I posted this in another thread but Khamzat set the bar so high with his first few UFC fights that when he got thrown into the deep end of the division and finally faced some adversity people started acting like he's not good. What he did to Holland was extremely impressive IMO, beating Holland in itself isn't that great of a win but he made it look like Kevin didn't even belong in that cage with him.
 
I went not sure..

Does Costa get one if he derails gourmet chechen?
For having 1 win over a UFC contracted fighter whom you think is overrated? :D

Khamzat doesn't deserve one for beating Paula. Dude doesn't even belong in the top10.

My point exactly... neither guy should really get one ..


Nobody is gunna give Costa a TS for beating khamzat so why should Khamzat get one for beating Costa lol ..

Is Costa only a good fighter/win if Khamzat beats him and not the other way around? ...
 
Will Khamzat Chimaev get fraudchecked if he loses to Costa?
Or
Or he already was when he almost got knocked out to Burns

Amazing how winning a fight vs the #2 contender is being "fraudchecked"

You haters are really fucking stupid.
