Notice that I said, "this story" No offense to the other fighers, but Im only interested in the Khamzat arc. I dont care what happens between them. As long as Khamzat is active and competing for the belt, I will be interested in his story.

Yes. His offensive wrestling is not the threat that most people assumed earlier in his career. I dont see him beating Leon and Im not even confident that he gets passed JDM.

Shavkat has been lowkey exposed in his last couple fights. Im not confident that he even gets passed JDM tbh Islam is levels ahead of him in the wrestling department so I could see him controlling the fight and maybe grabbing a submission in the later rounds.

I want to see Khamzat active and competing against the elite. Personally, i dont care about Izzy or strickland or ddp, theyre side characters in this story.

Pereira is an extremely match up dependent champion. He beats elite fighers like Strickland, Jiri and Izzy, but he would lose to lower ranked fighters like Vettori, Hernandez, Caio IMO. Also, he got a favorable decision against Jan. 40 year old Jan beats him decisively at normal elevation.

Yea. Been saying for awhile now that Gaethje was the man to beat him. Dustin only has a lucky punchers chance. Arman is well rounded enough so hes the last hope for Makhachev haters. Leon will get finished on the ground. Realisitically, there are no real threats stopping him from defending 2x...

So they went with this match up instead of Costa vs Imavov and Strickland vs Cannon II? yea, the UFC matchmaking is a pathetic joke. Jared is on a win streak, he shouldnt have to fight down in the rankings right now. Imavovs striking and macro game is similar to Whittaker so this will be a...

Good interview with some new insights. I thought Gaethje was the guy to dethrone him, but now that hes been derailed it seems Arman is the only interesting challenger in the LW division. If Islam beats Arman and Poirier then I got no issues with him moving up to WW. Islam vs Leon/Belal/Shavkat...

BJ also lost to Frankie and Jens, both of whom were small. He just matched up well with Hughes, and Lyoto was a defensive decision machine. BJ gets too much credit for that loss to machida.

I would say what I really think but I dont want to get dubs. So Ill just say this - if I was a dominant champion that lost to a guy 3x, I would dabble in some of the dark arts in hopes of finding something to supplement my journey back to the top. <Neil01>

Wand had ploddy footwork with bad defense so he would have problems with Pereiras length and height. Its just a terrible match up on paper but Wand was a dog so cant count him out completely.

I see Gamrot as a chinny wrestler with bad top control. Sure he can secure TD on Charles, but he wont be safe anywhere the fight goes. If it does hit the mat, Charles will have space to work sweeps/reversals and plenty of opportunities to latch a sub as Gamrot scrambles due to his inability to...

Extremely favorable match up for Charles. I like it

He has the perfect kickboxing style to crossover into MMA, perfect size to match up well against the elites, perfect weight classes(every division above WW is trash low skill standard), and on top of it he has a high fight IQ and prepares well.

I really want to see Bo vs Aliskerov now. If Bo wins that, then he would turn me into a believer.

Isolated bicep curls are the perfect exercise for a fighter <36>

Charles looked much bigger than him in the octagon tbf

He doesnt look comfortable shooting from distance. Which is strange considering his background

Makhachev detractors will dismiss this and continue to attack him for "cherry picking an easy title defense" against Poirier in the lead up to ufc 302 lol

Topuria hits harder than Gaethje.
