The only way Khamzat can redeem himself if he does this ....

[NoSmilez]

I honestly was going to give him the benefit of the doubt of being injured but there were accounts of him eating food at a restaurant and enjoying himself the night before the fight. He just wasn't trying too hard to make weight.

 

[Steve Fox]

This is Khamzat's prime years..

Another reason to be professional.

 

[Sticko]

Oh Yes.. He will be given that fight... Who does Izzy fight if he starches Poaten? the answer is nobody.. Khamzat Is the only option here really there is nobody..

Besides they are the two bad-guys and people love to see such stories the clash of the bad boys that everyone want to see lose..

Khamzat-Izzy is written heaven and they remind of each other

Dude, quit being an idiot. The UFC is not giving Khamzat a MW title shot after he completely shat the bed starting a brawl backstage and then missing weight by almost 8 pounds.

Defeating Kevin Holland at a catch weight on 1 day's notice does not warrant a TS in a division you no longer compete in. Maybe if he makes weight and defeats an actual ranked middleweight in his next fight, then we can talk.

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

Dana said Khamzat had a bad cut while losing weight and was going to make weight but his leg was cramping up so doctor said stop cutting weight but your healthy to fight tomorrow ...Oh Dana <45>

Its complete BS, him, his coaches,they are all at fault, he needs a real coach not a yes man.

Izzy has no opponents in a division that basically died.. If Izzy streamrolls Poatan there is nothing there but a deadweight division.. Khamzat-Izzy bout is the only logical move if not he will wait for the trilogy.. But I see the Izzy-Poatan winner happening they are both open to fighting him

 

[Megaton Punch]

Khamzat shat the bed with this one, it's gonna follow him for a long time. That being said, to be perfectly honest I do think the match ups are now better, they did a good job scavenging that card

 

[MeatWagon06]

Beat the crap out of Kevin and hope that Tony destroys Nate.
Then call out Paulo Costa, he has no right to talk about titles until he gets back his honour.

F his coach, that bloody yes man, letting Khamzat miss weight like that.

WTF is Paulo.... Khamzat needs to call out Winner of Poatan-Izzy period... That is the only option he has really

You’re both obviously high from huffing jenkem.

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

You’re both obviously high from huffing jenkem.

Seeing Nate get beat up was gonna be great till this F up.

 

[Adamant]

I still love Khamzat and support him 100%. I hope he destroys Holland. Then I'm sure UFC will push for him to move to MW. No more WW.

Khamzat is a liability if he can't avoid missing weight by 8 pounds or brawling backstage. They need to keep him away from PPVs until he shows he can behave himself.

Plus, he needs to actually beat a top contender at MW before challenging for the MW belt.

While I agree that Izzy has basically cleaned out the division, one of the contenders that Izzy has not yet faced like Muniz or Imavov would be more deserving at this point.

None of them have the star power.. Khamzat is an entertainer he does what he does to get attention which is working.. He had no intention of actully jumping Paulo it was for the entertainment value some people took it overly serious even Costa knows this

What they need to do is keep him on PPVs Khamzat will definitely sell now more then ever.. Controvesy is money unfortunately.. People watch others who wanna be the IT not journeymen.. Khamzat is one of these guys who believes his the best..

Khamzat vs Izzy-Poatan or Khamzat vs Leon-Usman trilogy is a lock

 

[mmadeewana]

Costa fight seems bad for Khamzat.

He's not even ranked at middleweight and he's going to be given a title shot? Depending on where the fight is held it wouldn't even be sanctioned.

I'm not even talking about the business with Costa, I'm talking about the scuffle backstage with Holland and then Diaz's team which led to the prefight press conference being cancelled.

The UFC can't reward him for this bad behavior or they'll just get more of it unfortunately.

If Khamzat wants the MW belt he needs to make weight and then actually beat a ranked MW. Alex Pereira got fast tracked but he still had to do that.

The hype for a Khamzat vs Paulo Costa main event would be huge and the hype for a Khamzat title fight would be so much bigger if Khamzat beats a ranked contender first.

According to many Chimaev is even favorite in both fights... Try to explain your way out of that

Khamzat has a title shoot at WW served if he is not getting the Izzy fight he will take on the trilogy winner that it's basically.. He ain't fighting a guy who went life and dead with Luke Rockhold.. It does nothing for him career wise... He was not even suppose to take this fight in reality and he said it in his interview.. He only wants to fight for the title next period

I don't give a shit what Khamzat said in his interview, he's not fighting for the MW belt next. Make weight and beat a ranked contender first.

The guy who wants to kill everybody and smash everybody should have no problem with that.

 

[HHJ]

Him beating Kevin is not enough. He has to consistently make weight. He is calling out all these guys and then not making weight and then acting like he doesnt care about it,its bad.

There are no opponents for Izzy.. He drained the weakest division out there.. What do you do? You bring Chimaev in.. Izzy also said in an interview he wants to fight him.. He gets the winner of that November fight period... Or he fights winner of the trilogy all the same
