Im not defending the guy while it might look like it, he has only fought twice in that period and only one was officially at MW.
which is why he should have taken the short notice against gamrot. at least then he could have actually defended against a ranked LW, who had time to prepare. this is all on islams camp, the UFC, and it was intentional. to set up the 2-0 against volk, shut up volk, and never give him a chance to a proper rematch. forever closing that down. and pretending like this was a legitimate win, when only ONE GUY was able to train for the fight. a total joke and you see how these dagestanis roll now. they dont want to hear excuses, because to them, the truth = excuses. total morons.
Bro, have some context next time when you mention surgery. Alexander Volkanovski was a arthroscopic surgery on his elbow to get rid of some chipped bone or spurs. A minor surgery and is 100% turn around in a little over a month of recovery. You’re making it like he had ACL,MCL surgery or a broken appendage. Surgery was July 17/18. He was literally back in the gym training August 2nd. Granted he wasn’t going a full hundred
Stop it, this was all on the UFC, Makhachev clearly said he’ll fight anyone, the UFC is the one who chose Volkanovski as the opponent.
disagree with everything you wrote. islam has the final say on opponent 100%. and this is a calculated move. to give islam the perception of "the new khabib," the new "goat." if gamrot was the opponent, that woudl have been a far better match. gamrot at least was training, waiting in the wings, way more so than islam. gamrot is a ranked LW fighter. gamrot fights in the LW division. gamrot was already promised as the back up fighter. it makes way more sense 100%. the problem is, what you dont see, is that gamrot doesnt sell. gamrot is more dangerous at this stage then off the couch volk. gamrot can create a potential problem, where is volk sells, volks name is bigger, volks name is more appeasing to the sultan stakeholders, volks name gives islam the chance to forever cement the 2-0, and forever shut down talk of another chance. volk is not obligated to a shot, except for this one right? makes no sense. all volk needed to do was wait, beat topuria, and then get a proper rematch. but thats problematic. a full fight camp volk is a much much different fight. its an actual proper rematch. where more than ONE GUY was able to train for the fight. LOL. this was not volks only chance, this was his worst possible chance, and the UFC paid him big bucks, probably told him you can do it bro, and he took it, and islam said yes. gamrot makes infinite more sense, but in the end, he doesnt sell. and abu dabi didnt want to see that. they want to see islam exulted, beat volk definivetely, and they got it. and then moron fans think it was a legitimate rematch, completely ignoring that it was a short notice fight. garbage.
Usman was ragdolled and almost out in the first round. Let’s be honest it wasn’t short notice, hr was clearly preparing for a fight and in great shape
The first round was a 10-8, he made a dominant former champ in Usman look like a can. Usman last fought in feb and was preparing for a fight in December.
I think Bo Nickal still hasn’t been tested or proven himself, but I think Bo would give him problems just based on what I’ve seen of khamzat so far.
Usman was in danger the entire first round and almost caught in a RNC. When did Usman smash khamzats face into the mat? Look at Usmans face after the fight, he was the only one who was smashed.
It’s okay to disagree, it is your opinion just like how my post was mine.
