Am I the only one who thinks Khamzat would murder Costa? He looked horrible in his last fight. He couldn’t finish an old and rusty luke rockhold who was 100% gassed out after the very first round
Khamzat woulda finished Luke that night with ease lol
The only fight I have any interest at seeing the hair lipped goat fucker at 170, is him vs Usman. And I think Dana’s only interest in having him at 170 is the possibility of him being a future champion multiple weights (obviously not simultaneously)…
Agreed…i would put Colby in there too…would feel ripped off if he doesn’t fight him or Usman…not sure when the Usman-Leon rematch is but that would be a long wait…if he wins the belt at 170 Dana would probably give him an immediate title shot at 185
While the Strickland shit talking would be epic I prefer to see him fight Costa or Whitaker and he’s already planted the seeds as to him not taking the Whitaker fight
Khamzat’s got one of the weirdest trajectories in UFC history.
Fights 3 times in 4 months at 2 weights to start his tenure in the UFC.
Takes a year off for illness.
Beats up a tough opponent easily coming off the sabbatical.
Has a war with a game top contender and wins a decisive decision.
Gets paired down with an old vet who is leaving the UFC and has no upside in winning the match. Misses weight by 8 pounds.
Somewhere between the fight with Li and Burns should probably have been a middle-ranked contender, or if the UFC was pushing him, why fight Nate Diaz? Such a strange path. And that’s before his weight problems.
No chance fight happens if its Costas last fight on his contract. Dana wont risk Costa winning and walking away. Khamzat will likely get Colby next and if he misses weight again, then be booked at 185 but I think he gets crushed by some of the top MWs.
