Media Helwani claims that the three fights Leon was offered for UFC 300 were against Khamzat, Islam and Shavkat

[Phisher]

Three Muslims who won't fight during Ramadan, and Khamzat can't even get into the US anymore.

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

So he wasn’t offered Belal lol

 

[jeff7b9]

So Belal is like 4th or 5th in line.

Well, he should probably go win a few more fights.

 

[flektarn]

Having Islam fight Leon on 300 would have been mental with Gaethje, Arman, and Oliveira on the same card.

 

[Rorschachxx]

If I'm the UFC I'd make sure Leon and Belal stay ready just in case.

Who knows how well recovered Jamahal is.

Probably shouldn't even bother to ask a guy whose last name is Muhammed.

All the UFC had to do was throw a huge amount of money at them to skip Ramadan, but the UFC is too cheap.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Wow.

You had to KNOW Belal was not one of the three. He would jump on that shit like right fucking now. Two of these guys literally went public with not training/fighting during Ramadan.

What does a person even say about this bullshit?

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

But I thought Khamzat kill e'erbody

Probably shouldn't even bother to ask a guy whose last name is Muhammed.

Belals been pretty open about his willingness to train and take fights during Ramadan, and has done so multiple times. So the pink goof will have to come up with something else

I duck e'erbody!!!!

Well at least Belal can't say they are dissing him because he is Muslim. Pretty crazy that the UFC believes Shavkat is a bigger draw with Casuals. Belal should really make sure he is getting paid or he should go the Cory Anderson route and ask for his release and get paid in PF-ellator.

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

Dana said fuck Belal lmao

They are dissing him because he is Palestinan

 

[Soggust]

They are dissing him because he is Palestinan

Legit question, swear to god -

Do we think that Islam, Shavkat and Khamzat are pro-Israel?

Or just that they would be less inclined to say something, because they don't carry the flag and haven't raised their opinion before?

I could buy that for Shavkat and maybe Islam, but I don't see Khamzat being very controllable in his post fight interviews.

 

[BigSexy444]

No Conor?

There aren't any fighters with the last name Muhammad

 

[witt1021]

khamzat still has visa issues. he wouldnt have been able to fight in april regardless of ramadan. gonna call bullshit on this list.
The United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control in December 2020 placed travel restrictions on anyone affiliated with the Akhmat MMA fight club. ever since the they did this khamzat has had visa issues. as of oct 2023 he still has a visa issue. the UFC just wouldnt offer someone who cant enter the US a championship fight in vegas. its just not gonna happen. they dont even have those strings to pull to make it happen. as long as Kadyrov keeps picking up khamzat in his private jet after every fight in UAE or dubai, he isnt getting a visa. those other names? sure i can see those 2 being offered the fight. but with khamzat on the list i find it to be not beleivable.

 

[Khaosan]

Hahahahahahahahaha @ Belal

 

[Black9]

Wow he got offered 3 fighters who won't even fight because of Ramadan.

 

[Soggust]

King Mu, pretty sure
