Bobby Knuckles is butthurt Usman and Chimaev winner cuts the line

He looked like shit against Izzy both times too. The rematch he fought passively and it was an extremely boring fight to sit through.

Edit: Well it was much more of Izzy just being that good rather than Bobby fighting like shit. Bobby just looked like every other Izzy opponent besides Alex and Strickland.

I think Izzy will always have the upperhand against Rob. Rob throws predictable combos and Izzy reads him really well. He’d have to approach him with an entirely different style.

and we all know damn well he will fight him the exact same way

Yep. Stuck in his own way.

Back up for 25 minutes, lose a dreadful decision, then demand a rematch and whine about it anytime someone else gets a shot against Izzy.

  1. Izzy isnt the champ anymore. Its Strickland and there are fresh matchups for him.
  2. DuPlessi has to get the next title fight
  3. Whittaker/Izzy 2 was really close. And Rob couldve won that fight and he needed to make it grindy to win it

That bitch ass @anon15507186 backed out of here real fast. Facts are a motherfucker.

They saved the card (along with Volk and Islam) and deserve to be rewarded for it. More fighters should do the same, and maybe they’ll get such opportunities.
Whittaker also hasn’t won a fight in 13 months.

Bobby will post a review of the fight on his YouTube channel in a few days

Khamzat faced a 170 lber going up in weight on short notice in Chimaev’s own home region. If he wanted more money for that, whatever. But he shouldnt get a title shot for it.

His performance wasn’t worthy of a title shot, but he took on a tougher opponent, and a completely different style of opponent than he had spent the training camp preparing for.

I’m fine with it. Middleweight is thin. Chimaev is popular. It makes sense to me.

Cannonier probably has the best case for a title shot, but no one wants to see it.

DDP had a chance but turned it down.

Izzy lost definitively and just received an immediate rematch after his last loss.

Whitaker, Vettori, and Costa aren’t in the conversation.

And that’s basically the entire middleweight division.

And if Chimaev doesn’t belong, he’ll lose. But I think he wins and hold onto the belt for a while.

How will chimaev get his visa to fight in America… now he’s under observation by Interpol and will be denied entry.

Strikland shouldn’t have to fight abroad, heck he went down under to claim the title

Is 2023 super short notice Usman tougher than Costa? I dont know. Also are they totally different style opponents? I dont know about that either. Both are (now) mainly standup fighters with good nullifying grappling.

he was good
he was champ
his time as a top contender is over
but good fighters, ex champs, never want to accept it

I don’t think that is the entire MW division.

Chimaev, Nickal, Allen, Craig, Aliskerov, Borralho, Pereira all climbing the ranks.

Curtis, Dolidze, Imavov, Vieira, Muniz etc… all around.

UFC could get Eblen when Bellator goes away.

Division will be fun in 2024.

Strickland would fight a broad if she attacked him first but I doubt he is looking to just assault a broad out of nowhere.

Probably Khumshot’s worst match up stylewise.

Khum boy is very reckless and it would cost him.
