I don’t know how it happened, but for whatever reason the UFC has positioned snaggle faced Khamzat like he’s their new show poodle like Paddy or O’malley or something. Don’t get me wrong, he’s way better, but it’s clear he has holes in his game like cardio, striking defence and fight IQ, and the UFC seem a little too gunshy about one of their last bankable stars. He has a good chance to beat Rob but they probably see it as too dangerous.
I don’t know about this whole liking Whitaker thing. That’s a bizarre reason not to fight. Rob and Khamzat don’t even know eachother. Did Khamzat dislike Burns?
I remember when Khamzat started in the UFC over Covid he beat 3 guys within a month or some crazy shit.
We need that Khamzat back. This primadonna fighting once a year diva shit is not the Khamzat fans fell in love with.
UFC won’t dare placing their new golden goose who always fights smaller geese against a top fighter approximately his size with good takedown defense and one of the better fight IQs in the game.
On a different note, what a pussy move on Costa’s part. The guy hasn’t had a decent win in a while, missed weight, clowns around, then decides to join the other crybabies like Ngannou, Pimblett, Omalley, Usman in rebellion against UFC. To all those who supported Ngannou’s “struggle” at making ten’s of millions instead of millions of dollars, here are some of the consequences.
