You’re the one living in an alternate reality where Charles is still champion when in reality he has to show up to fight for the vacant title and win or he’ll probably never sniff another title shot again.
Khabib and Islam demanding this fight be in Abu Dhabi is a bit ridiculous. Charles wanting to let this vacant thing hang all the way until December so he can do it in Brazil is also silly.
Just schedule the fight. Sooner and in neither place.
Yeah what he says is not Gospel but what anyone can see in that video is Khabib is on the scale and it rushes to the top indicating he is off weight only for the Saudi Arabian Scale Official to slide it back immediately before it settled.
Then for his opponent he waited for it settle after going up and down several times. It’s literally night and day on how to weigh a person legit.
You’re a pro fighter and you actually believe Charles has better grappling than Islam? The guy who got subbed by Pettis, Lamas and wrecked on the ground by Paul Felder?
And yes he did school those guys , but those guys also don’t present the same type of game as Charles . Charles is light-years better than either of those guys in MMA as a whole .
Because somebody’s looking to make a big payday, Vegas odds are never manipulated. I’d be real curious to see what those odds are when the fight starts.
