MW is all fucked up right now. Izzy getting an undeserved title shot is ruining everything
Both Whittaker and Strickland are coming off wins now. But they should NOT fight one another. Why should they? Strickland already said he’s gonna wait. Whittaker has no reason to take another fight in the meantime
So now both Strickland and Rob are just sitting and waiting. Which leads to the next question; who gets a title shot first between them?
If Izzy wins, you gotta go with the Strickland rematch. If DDP wins, either rematch makes sense
UFC botched this and should have waited a little longer to book anything for Perth. Izzy is coming off a loss and should not be in an immediate title fight. Robert has put 2 wins together and Strickland has even got a win since dropping the title. They should have booked DDP vs Robert for the MW title, and Strickland vs Adesanya as a 5 rd co-main. Then you have both winners fight each other and both losers could match up…Now instead of moving things along with matches that make sense, there’s going to be a stand still at MW because Strickland says he’s going to sit and wait for a title shot. Robert feels he’s next in line too, then you have a guy like Brendan Allen just behind them, who’s riding a 7 fight win streak in that division…
Offer strickland the fight vs Bobby in Perth. If Strickland turns it down, give bobby the title shot for stepping up and taking the fight after Kahmzat pulled out. Dude is a beast.
