I don't know if he's ready for Mendes yet. He won in impressive fashion, but was looking lackluster most of the fight. He might be able to pull it off, but I think he'd get Yair'd if he fought Frankie and isn't ready for Ortega/Holloway winner yet.
I just hate rushing these great prospects into shit they're not ready for. As Till found out last night, there's levels to this shit.You are insane. He looked spectacular most of the fight.
Dennis bermudez seems like the right fight for him, maybe micheal johnson

We've seen enough derailed hype trains from pushing them too early.
As we say in Dutch. ''Wat goed is komt snel''. Literal translation meaning ''What is good, comes quickly''.
I think the only reason Chad should take this fight is to get some shine off his hype. He just came back from a long suspension and a lot of people (myself included) forgot about the animal he is. I like and am excited about Zabit but if this happens, it could very well turn out to be like Yair-Edgar. Zabit being a great grappler def puts him in a better position than Yair was while fighting a great wrestler but Chad would be his first top competition so it's still dangerous. I'd still like to see him fight Yair at some point but don't mind if, right now, they go their seperate way, fight the older guard (Mendes, Swanson, etc.) and only meet back when they're in the top 10 (not sure if Yair already is).Mendes is #5, Zabit is #15 and won over an unranked opponent. So smart, yes, but will he get the fight? Why would Chad take that?a W won’t guarantee him a TS.
Mendes needs to fight Mocaino.
I’m still not totally sold on Zabit, not hating, just being honest.
Him and Frankie are from the same camp.Mendes won he should be fighting up, not down
Give Zabit Stephens or Frankie
Just run it back.He should be fighting Yair?
Is it Zabit's fault that Yair is scared?
I agree. I also think that he beats mendez.Smart. He can get a title shot if he beats Mendes. I hope Mendes accepts the challenge.
That must be the reason the Dutch are such a dominant global power.
I tend to agree, but sometimes a young fighter needs a loss to show them what they need to learn. Some fighters can't deal with a loss or refuse to learn from it. Others become significantly better after a loss.Zabit has good grappling. His stand-up is flashy but not nearly as effective as everyone was hoping.
He looks more and more human every fight to me. I dont think they should rush him into elite competition.
