Hold Up, Leon Edwards is Too Big a Jump For Khamzat

[Bubba32]

You cant go from fighting unranked guys to the #2 guy in the world. Neil Magny was perfect. Or Chieasa,

After that you can go top 5. This Leon Fight makes no sense.

 

[gotBooched]

No one except Magny will fight either of them. It makes total sense

 

[Po Atan]

Yep magny was the fight to make. Leon about to school him.

 

[Iron Nick]

The fight will sell, but yeah, it's a massive jump in competition.

That being said, if Khamzat wins, it'll be insane from a marketing perspective and it'd be a very good win super early into Khamzat's UFC career.

 

[Frankie Baby!]

Edwards shouldn't even be ranked #3, his best win is a washed RDA, before that he had a split decision with Gunnar Nelson

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Im tired of UFC politics and “rankings” preventing good fights.


This is a great fight to make. Khamzat brings a lot of attention to Leon’s name right now and Leon is a great test for Khamzat.


People thought Rampage was too much for Shogun when they were matched up but we know the result of that fight.


Let legit prospects sink or swim imo.

You’re pretending rankings are the primary agenda or driving factor.

Hint: they’re not.

 

[dragonsfly]

Khamzat will finish Edwards

 

[Colin]

Might as well find out how good Khamzat really is, no more foreplay needed eh?

 

[Murder_KickHC]

Edwards is unranked. The fight makes all the sense in the world.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Costa fought Romero after beating Hall, Fat Hendricks, Bamgbose, MacLellan

Then got a title shot

Who cares

 

[DivineMind]

It's almost like they want Khamzat to lose, maybe he only has a 4 fight contract and they're trying to get some leverage on him.

Iirc that split was one of those stupid decisions that should have been a clear UD

 

[SpiderCrawl]

Pffft, its a good test of his skills.

 

[Ivancho]

edwards is a pillow fisted guy, khamzat should knock his head off

 

[Ravenwing]

Magny couldnt be ready for 19 december, where chimaev was going to fight .

 

[aashmore]

Didn’t you hear? Khamzat is going to be a three weight champ. Leon will be nothing for him

 

[Bookerman]

He talked the talk so…

 

[dragonsfly]

Didn’t you hear? Khamzat is going to be a three weight champ. Leon will be nothing for him

3 weight classes is unrealistic imo. He will likely remain at WW outside of an opportunity to fight Adesanya cuz that would be an interesting fight he would take

Couldn't have said it better
