News Zabit no longer wants to fight Yair; Wants the winner of Volkanovski vs Ortega instead + Update

Honestly I think Zabit is too old and too big for 145 and will have to fight in 155 if he wants to have any kind of endurance in his gas tank.

Let him fight next for the title. He's a great fighter. He hasn't lost to Volkanovski yet. He's a legit threat. He's got a two rounds fan friendly style. Joe Rogan loves talking about him. Let him fight and win and then Max can fight Zabit and get his belt back.

It's a win win. And it helps make the 145lb division interesting for another year.

If you feed Zabit to Max then we get Max vs Volk or Ortega 3 or 2 which we've all seen before.

How on earth do people think like this unless you have a huge boner for the guy

he's undeserving of the opportunity and you shouldn't pretend to not realize this

the guys a stale fish in a fresh fish market
 
make him fight someone outside the top 15 for not fighting for a yr and half

Here's some news and update with what's going on with Zabit Magomedsharipov.

1560769116_0:200:2740:1741_640x0_80_0_0_abc462d85c8f005b4df1b96b2294ca38.jpg.webp


"Russian UFC featherweight Zabit Magomedsharipov is not going to fight Mexican Yair Rodriguez.
Note that in recent years, this confrontation has been repeatedly broken"

Rough translation below (Google translate):

“I think that this story is already over. I don’t see any sense in this fight. For the fifth time he (backed down) with the fight. Three times there was a contract, two times there were negotiations - he also agreed, and then refused. There is no desire itself, as well as motivation. When you know that a person does not want to fight - why fight? " - Magomedsharipov speculated on the "Obzor Press" Youtube channel.

News and update

“I haven't spoken to anyone for a long time, not even my managers. We'll see. Tomorrow I will fly to America, and there we will talk about what to do and how it will be best for me. In April we have Ramadan, and after it it will be clear what awaits me. "

Magomedsharipov also made it clear that he was no longer interested in the fight with Yair Rodriguez , who served a six-month suspension for violating USADA's whereabouts rules.

“The fight with Rodriguez is not needed - I am no longer interested in this fight. A fight with the winner of the Volkanovski-Ortega fight would be more interesting. There would be a different motivation. I think as an opponent I would be more comfortable with Volkanovski, because he is much shorter than me, and it would be very convenient for me to fight with him "

If he can’t go 5 rounds he’ll have to stop his opponent or drown in the championship rounds
 
He's praying to god that he doesn't get matched up with Holloway, especially in a 5 rounder.

He cant go...3 as off now...so yeah...i guess your right...

If kattar vs zabit was 5 rounds like it should have been ...Zabit would be like abe lincoln his look alike and be history
 
Zabit vs Max is the fight to make. Also Zabit would easily beat Volkanovski if he fought him.
 
The only memory I have of Zabit's career is banging it out with some Bochniak dude who cut by the UFC.

<TheWire1>
 
Cut this guy.

I like Zabit and want to see more of him but this is just nonsense at this point.

we have guys who haven’t fought in ages demanding title shots and refusing to fight other guys.


Just cut all these people already.
 
Only guy who sucks more than Zabit is Leon Edwards

cut em both and be done with these tools
 
Definitely needs to get past Holloway but not sure if he has the tools to do so
