And Magny didn’t survive 2 rounds against Shavkat,
Shavkat is for real.
Not sure about Belal… but Colby is better than him. When Vicente started tagging Belal he wanted no part of it. Belal is a great fighter and looked great against Brady, but I don’t think he quite has the wrestling or a striking to deal with the guys at the very top. Colby’s striking is more diverse, he pushes a higher pace, he’s more accurate, and his wrestling is better. Most of all Colby won’t shy away from a gunfight and pushes the action from bell to bell.
I think Mohammed sticks around the top 6-8 at welterweight, but I don’t think he ever cracks the top 3.
Got me hyped for this guy! New blood!
Shavkat has looked he literally hasn’t even broken a sweat in a fight. Like, not a single bead of sweat has materialized.
Belal is the definition of grit and hustle. I admire that he isn’t very physically gifted with explosive athleticism but really bites down on his mouthpiece and grinds out wins. There’s a very small probability he grabs a belt in his career but he could be a solid top 5 guy for the rest of his prime.
He got rocked a few years ago bad
That was the slowest telegraphed right hand. Shavkat got lazy lol. Nice comeback, he had the chin, cardio and conditioning to withstand that onslaught and come back.
Chandler would destroy this crippled washed up McGregor. He’s like Chad Mendes 10.0
There’s no way it’ll happen but… can you imagine this fight card in London featuring;
Leon v. Usman 3
Colby v. Khamzat
Burns v. Masvidal
I will legit fly to London and attend this event if the UFC puts that card together
