Makhachev's schedule makes me think that if Cody Garbrandt fought just Dominick Cruz and Rafael in the last 8 years, he would still be an undefeated champion that looks totally invincible and potentially capable of winning titles 2-3 weight classes above.
I'm running out of fights in my division, says Makhachev, and hopes that Bekzat Alimkhan goes up in weight and faces him on short notice, or Horcher comes out of retirement for a superfight.
He's not a BW. The lighter weights tend to suffer more as the fighters age because they rely on speed, reflexes and agility more than raw power. At HW power matters more and you can be stronger at 36 than at 25.

What is it? I'm starting to see sober assessments in this thread.
Fedor fans, however few may have left, are in for a rude awakening. His aura was a myth and a direct consequence of years of can diet. His kind soul persona is even more fake and I'd say many dark discoveries are to be made here...
The fact that he fought at FW for years proves that he has a rather small frame, while Nurmagomedov, on the other side, almost died making 155 once and cheated at the weigh-ins before his last fight. I don't think Makhachev could ever make 145 without dying either, at least outside of that...
A 35-year old FW striker who's been knocked out or subbed by nearly everyone in the division and is known for his awful grappling and bad gas tank. Father's plan!
Who knows. After all, it's a fight in a sandbox, meaning no weigh-ins and PED control for the homeboy. Also, Whitaker is an ex-WW, which figures, as Khamzat prefers to fight lightweights at WW and WWs at MW. On the other side, the fact that there's still time for Whitaker to go through a full...
